Private applicators are invited to join Clemson Extension Agents Rob Last and Katie Silver for a full-day training focused on the legal use of pesticides and responsible pesticide application. Following the training, participants may take the South Carolina Private Applicator licensing exam or earn CEUs if they already hold a South Carolina pesticide applicator license.

⚠️ This training is not intended for homeowners or individuals seeking a commercial or noncommercial pesticide applicator license.

Private applicator licenses are intended for agricultural producers who purchase, use, or supervise the use of restricted-use pesticides (RUPs) in their farming operations.

Optional study/reference material, the "Applying Pesticides Correctly: A Guide for Private and Commercial Applicators" manual, is available for purchase via your event host or your local Clemson Extension office.
