Which exam do I take?
Every exam covers the same pesticide core: labels, safety, the environment, pests, formulations, equipment, federal law, storage and disposal, and supervision. They differ in the state law questions, so take the one for the state where you will be licensed.
Each state's exam name, who takes it, question count, time limit, pass mark and fee are in one table: pesticide applicator license exam requirements by state.
