Pesticide Applicator Training

The State of Florida requires that certain persons be certified to legally apply ANY pesticides (even RoundUp). Who must be certified and the type of certification or license required depends on the type of chemicals used, the site of application and the role of the applicator (owner, employee, etc.).

Due to staffing concerns, training is not currently offered in Indian River County. For more information call Joan Benson at (772) 770-5031
