What happens if my license expires?
You may not apply or supervise pesticide use until your license is renewed and active.
Does Vermont accept reciprocity from other states?
Yes. Vermont may grant reciprocity for certain license categories when equivalent certification exists.
Is business registration required?
Yes. Pest control businesses must register separately in addition to holding applicator licenses.
Do I really need credits if I am a Private Applicator?
Yes. Private applicators (farmers) must earn 8 recertification credits every five years to maintain their certification without re-testing.
Can I carry over extra credits to next year?

What happens if I miss the December 31st deadline?
You may not legally apply or supervise pesticide use until your renewal is processed. Renewals received more than 30 days past expiration incur a $27.00 late fee.
Where can I find exam study materials?
