District 3 Winter Newsletter

Dear District 3 Private Applicators,

The MSU Extension Pesticide Education Program (MSU PEP) hopes you had a great holiday season! We want to remind District 3 private applicators that you have until 12/31/2020 to obtain six pesticide recertification credits. You are in the third year of the private applicator certification cycle for District 3. Keep an eye out for local events in your area and stay in contact with your local Extension Agent.

If you or someone you know needs to obtain a pesticide license there are several Initial Private Applicator Training Programs being held across the state this spring. Veteran private applicators may also attend as a refresher course and to obtain six private applicator recertification credits. Please visit our Initial Private Applicator Training page for dates, details and registration options.

Looking up License Information and Credits

Private Applicators can check their current credits and lookup their license number by contacting their Extension Agent or by using the MDA Pesticide License Search. Enter in your license number or last name and click search. Next to your name click “Private Applicator” under program type. This page will show how many credits you have acquired, and how many more credits you need before the end of the recertification cycle.
