PESTICIDE CERTIFICATION

Private Pesticide Certification/Testing is offered in Door County for those who wish to apply restricted-use pesticides.  A private applicator is a someone applying pesticides to produce and agricultural products on land owned or rented by the person or the person’s employer.  A person making any other kind of pesticide application is considered to be a commercial applicator.  If you have questions on which certification you require, please contact the Wisconsin Department of Ag., Trade and Consumer Protection at http://datcp.wi.gov/Plants/Pesticides/Licenses/index.aspx
