CSU Extension to host private pesticide applicator recertification sessions

Colorado State University Extension is hosting Private Pesticide Recertification sessions at various locations in Northeast Colorado. Anyone who purchases restricted-use pesticides must have a Private Pesticide Applicator license, which is issued by the Colorado Department of Agriculture. Private Applicator license study guides and exams can be obtained either from the Colorado Department of Agriculture or some Extension offices. Once a license is received, it is active for three years before renewal is needed. Renewal can be achieved by either retaking the exam or attending a recertification meeting. These recertification meetings offer seven core credits, which can be substituted for retaking the exam.

Private pesticide recertification sessions will be held on March 20, 21 and 22 of 2023. On Monday, March 20, the program will be held in Akron at the Colorado State University Extension office beginning a 9 a.m. and will last until noon. The March 21 meeting will be held at the Julesburg Courthouse Annex and will begin at 9 a.m. and conclude at noon. The March 22 meeting will be held at the Burlington Community Center and will begin at 9 a.m. and will conclude at noon.

Registrations will be taken early in 2023. Watch for advertisements. For more information, contact Ron Meyer at 719-349-1101 or rf.meyer@colostate.edu.
