Dear Barbie,

Hello out there!

 

Did you know a license is required to apply any pesticide as part of your landscape business? Professionals are often surprised to find they may face a fine of up to $5,000 per infraction for applying pesticides without a license, even when only using herbicides such as Roundup®.

 

About this training

This training provides the six hours of required instruction in order to take the Limited Commercial Maintenance exam to acquire the license to use caution labeled products in beds and shrubs associated with buildings as part of a landscape business.

This training also covers material in preparation for the Limited Lawn and Ornamental Exam for in house maintenance crews of school, and other managed properties in turf and ornamental areas associated with buildings. Training is not mandatory in order to take this exam, however may be beneficial for review.

Please note the name of this license is easily confused with three other licenses. For an explanation of the available licenses see this EDIS publication: Licensing of Lawn and Ornamental Pesticide Applicators in Florida at http://polk.ifas.ufl.edu/AG_Safety/files/pdf/LicensingOfLawnAndOrnamental.pdf

See more information on available licenses at www.polksmallfarms.com  

 

Renewal CEUs

Limited and other pesticide applicators may also attend to earn CEUs for license renewal!  This training is designed to be approved for 3 Core and 3 category CEUS for a total of 6 available CEUs. 

Category CEUs are as follows: Limited Commercial Maintenance, Limited

Lawn & Ornamental (L&O), Commercial L&O, Ornamental & Turf, or Private SO THAT PEOPLE MAY ATTEND to earn CEUS FOR LICENSE RENEWAL in MULTIPLE CATEGORIES. 

Attending this training will allow those currently holding a limited license to renew their license.
