Private Applicator Training:
Need a Private Pesticide Applicator License to do weed and brush spraying on your own property? The Texas Department of Agriculture is now offering an online course. Please visit: Texas Private Pesticide Applicator Training | Pesticide License (tamu.edu) to enroll.
Once you pass the test and receive your license from TDA, it is good for 5 years and you will need to accumulate 15 Continuing Education Units (CEU’s) in that five year period. Of the 15 that TDA requires, 2 CEU’s must be for Laws & Regulations and 2 for Integrated Pest Management, the remaining 11 can be generals or a mix of any of them. You may attend our educational programs we put on throughout the year to acquire the needed CEU’s.
Veterans:
We wanted to pass along some valuable information. If you have a family member or a friend that could benefit from this information please forward to them. I am sure that each county employee knows at least one veteran, a caretaker of a veteran or a spouse of a veteran
