Pesticide Applicator

Almost all states and US territories require an exam for licensure. The Horticulture program at CWI teaches the basics of pesticide application. To use those skills outside the state of Idaho or the states with whom Idaho has reciprocity, expect regional questions that the CWI program may not have prepared students to answer correctly. For this reason, states and territories without Idaho reciprocity where an exam is required have been noted as undetermined. Please use the links provided to do additional research on the required content.
