How often must commercial applicators renew their licenses?

Commercial applicators in Oregon are required to renew their licenses every five years. This renewal process ensures that applicators remain up-to-date with the latest laws, safety practices, and advancements in pesticide application techniques. It also promotes ongoing education and training in the responsible use of pesticides, which is essential for protecting public health and the environment.

By having a renewal period, the regulatory body can ensure that applicators maintain a standard of competence and remain knowledgeable about any changes in regulations or best practices. This system helps to maintain high standards in pesticide application and minimizes risks associated with pesticide misuse.
