Pesticide applicator training scheduled
January 13, 2020
The University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service will offer a three-day
pesticide applicator certification training Jan. 28-30 in several Alaska communities.
The training will take place by videoconference in Fairbanks, Anchorage, Delta Junction,
Soldotna and other communities as requested. Classes will meet from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The state requires certification for anyone who purchases, uses or sells restricted-use
pesticides. Certification is also required for anyone who acts as a pesticide consultant,
engages in the commercial or contract use of pesticides, or supervises their use at
a public location.
A $75 fee for the training includes study materials. The training will be repeated
April 7-9 in the same communities and other requested locations. Registration for
both trainings is available at http://bit.ly/PestInvasive.
Participants are encouraged to become familiar with the materials and required math
beforehand. For more information and to request another training location, contact
Phil Kaspari at 907-895-4215 or pnkaspari@alaska.edu.
