KDA Private & Commercial Pesticide Licence Information

Private Pesticide Licence - Private certification may be obtained by passing an open book examination at a county extension office (Minneapolis or Salina). Contact us in advance to ensure the office will be open and allow 2-3 hours to complete the examination. We will collect a $25 fee and mail the completed examination to KDA for grading so they can issue the certification card.

You will recieve a postcard before your renewal date with instrutions on how to renew. If you don't recieve this or don't have it, visit HERE to pay yor renewal fee & take test.

Commercial Pesticide Licence - Applicants must pass the General examination and a category or subcategory examination to become certified (Commercial Applicator Certification Categories).
