Pesticide Safety Education Programs
Extension specialists and educators, in cooperation with the Illinois Department of Agriculture, conduct Pesticide Applicator Training Programs for private, commercial, and public pesticide applicators and operators. The purpose is to train and certify applicators and operators in the proper and safe use of pesticides to prevent misuse and avoid accidents. In addition, the training provides education in both chemical and nonchemical pest control methods. This quality pesticide safety education is ultimately vital to Illinois residents in terms of public health protection and environmental stewardship.
