Fertilizer/pesticide licenses

[CanaryBoss]

Does anyone out there have a recommendation for a place we can get trained and licensed to spray. We have an arborists on staff but need the licensing.

Check with the Extension office. They do all of the training in Ohio. I have seen similar situations in other States.

Is licensing through the State Department of Agriculture in FL?

I’m not sure. Was hoping for some pointers

Assuming your team members members meet the eligibility requirements to sit for the exam, you should contact Bob Kessler. He holds classes the weekend before the exam and makes taking the exam super easy. Send them to this class. I did this and scored a 97 on the L&O Operator exam. You can find him online with a google search of his name. Also- hey Richard! It's been a while.

Get the limited commercial. Almost impossible to get one in FL. Gotta have 3 years under someones else's license.
