UW Extension to offer private pesticide applicator programs

Posted Thursday, January 16, 2025 6:00 am

The University of Wyoming Extension has scheduled 16 pesticide safety education programs for private applicators across the state January through March.

Currently, programs are scheduled in Crook, Goshen, Johnson, Laramie, Niobrara, Park, Platte, Sheridan and Weston counties. Details for private applicator programs in additional counties will be released in the coming months. For the most up-to-date information, contact a county extension office or visit bit.ly/wda-2025-private-psep.

Private applicator licenses are required for anyone who applies or supervises the application of Restricted Use Pesticides (RUPs).

The four-hour private applicator education programs provide an overview of certification requirements, pertinent regulations, pesticide safety and handling, proper disposal practices and more. Applicators can attend any class that fits their schedule.

All participants are required to bring a government-issued ID, such as a driver’s license, to their session.

Upon completion of a program, applications for private applicator licenses are submitted to the Wyoming Department of Agriculture for approval and issuance of licenses.
