Private applicator licenses are required for anyone who purchases and applies restricted use pesticides (RUPs) to their own property or properties they manage.
UW Extension’s private pesticide 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, the proctor of the class will submit all completed private applicator license applications to the Wyoming Department of Agriculture for approval and issuance of licenses.
For more information, and to view a complete list of upcoming private applicator programs across the state, visit bit.ly/wy-private-psep. Note that the list is updated regularly as additional programs are scheduled.
For more information, contact a local UW Extension office.
