How do I become a commercial certified pesticide applicator?

To become a commercial pesticide applicator one must complete and pass two examinations. The first exam is the General Standards and the second exam is in the particular category the applicator selects. The self-study manuals for the examinations can be obtained from Mississippi State University Extension Service and by contacting the Pesticide Education Program Assistant at 601-857-2284. All the category self-study manuals cost $15.00, except the Category VII Industrial, Institutional, Structural & Health Related manual which is $23.00. Payment for the self-study manuals is made to the Central Mississippi Research and Extension Center and payment must be received before the manuals are mailed. For individuals on campus you can go by the Entomology and Plant Pathology Department and purchase the manuals, payment for the manuals must be made when receiving the manual or manuals.
