Pesticide and SPI Licensing and Recertification

For more information, call toll-free 877-301-4555 or email license@agr.wa.gov.
 

The Agricultural Environmental Services Division's Licensing and Recertification Program is responsible for providing initial licensing and continued recertification for pesticide applicators, dealers, consultants, and structural pest inspectors (SPIs). 

Pesticide and SPI Licensing


Washington State's pesticide licensing program includes many license types and category exams. The license needed to perform WDO inspections or legally apply, distribute or consult on the use of pesticides in Washington depends on who your employer is and/or what type of pest control work you will be performing.

Recertification


All individuals holding a WSDA pesticide or Structural Pest Inspector (SPI) license must complete recertification requirements every five years in order to maintain their license. This may be accomplished by attending WSDA approved recertification courses or by retesting. The type of license you hold determines the extent of your recertification requirement.
