- to find the study material go to http://entomology.ca.uky.edu/uk-pesticide-safety-education-program-psep
- To schedule a test click on the following link - https://www.kyagr-apps.com/AgLicensing/Pesticides/Public/TestSchedule
Indiana: https://oisc.purdue.edu/pesticide/index.html
- Any person (individual, partnership, corporation, etc.) who applies pesticides for hire, within the state of Indiana, to the property of another or who advertises that they apply pesticides for hire must obtain an Indiana pesticide business license from the Office of Indiana State Chemist (OISC).
- If your base of operation is outside the state of Indiana, an Indiana pesticide business license and applicators license may be obtained through reciprocity with the state from which the business is operating. Example: If the business is operating from Ohio, the applicator's reciprocity will need to be based on Ohio certification exams.
- Reciprocity is ONLY offered for applicators operating in businesses located outside of Indiana. Applicators associated with businesses located within Indiana MUST take Indiana exams.
- However, for a person to earn Indiana CCH credit they must have taken our exams. If they have a license based on reciprocity, then they will not earn credit with us. They must maintain the state they used to apply for a license with us such as a Kentucky license. As long as the Kentucky license is good, they can have a license in Indiana.
- Based on our exams, the first step to becoming licensed in Indiana would be determining which categories you want to be licensed in. You can find descriptions of our categories here: https://oisc.purdue.edu/pesticide/continuing_certification_program.html#categories
