Pescides include herbicides, inseccides,
fungicides, rodencides, and many other
substances used to kill, harm, or repel pests.
General Use Pescides may be bought
over the counter without a pescide license.
Restricted Use Pescides (RUPs) are a
category of products that pose a higher risk to people, animals, or the environment. They can only be
purchased by a person with a pescide license; use requires supervision by a licensed applicator.
Reciprocity
Reciprocity is when one state
recognizes pescide
cercaon/licensing of
another state to eliminate
duplicang test requirements.
ODA will issue an Oregon
Private Applicator license
based on a valid Idaho or
Washington Private Applicator
license.
Other license types and
license categories are on a
case-by-case basis. ODA must
have the same category and
other factors may be
considered.
ODA may issue a Private
Pescide Applicator license
based on either 1) an acve
Oregon Pescide Consultant
license or 2) an acve
Commercial or Public Pescide
Applicator license with
the Agriculture Herbicide,
Agriculture
Inseccide/Fungicide, or
Forest category.
Licensing
is the process of demonstrang a person knows how to
handle and apply pescides in a safe and responsible manner.
Cercaon examinaons must be taken in specic categories of
applicaon to obtain a pescide license. A passing score of 70% or
higher on pescide exams is required to become cered.
Cercaon is valid for up to ve (5) years and begins when the
required tests are passed and ends on December 31st of the h
calendar year. If you qualify for cercaon in the last 45 days of the
year (November 17th through December 31st), the cercaon period
is extended through the calendar year and the next ve (5) years. For
example:
Test Date Certication End Date
January 2, 2013 December 31, 2017
November 16, 2012 December 31, 2016
November 17, 2012 December 31, 2017
Licensing is the process to obtain the actual license that shows that
a person has met cercaon requirements to make specic pescide
applicaons under that license. To get a license: (1) Aer passing the
exams, ll out the correct form, (2) pay the license fee and any other
associated fees; (3) submit both to ODA. All licenses are renewed
annually, except for the Private Applicator license, which is renewed
every 5 years.
ODA can not issue a pescide license
to anyone under the age of 18.

IPM in Schools
Eecve July 1, 2012, Oregon Revised Statutes 634.700-634.750 requires all Oregon pre-kindergarten, public
and private K-12 schools, community colleges, federal Head Start programs, Oregon School for the Deaf,
Oregon Youth Authority residenal academy, and educaon service districts to implement integrated pest
manangement (IPM) pracces.
The new IPM in schools law (ORS
634.700) now requires a public
pescide applicator license, apprence
or trainee license for every public
school employee applying pescides
(except anmicrobials or inseccidal
soaps).
is a common-sense
strategy that integrates
mulple taccs to
reduce pest populaons
to an acceptable
level. Strategies
include sanitaon, pest
exclusion; cultural,
biological, mechanical
control, while liming
the use of chemicals.
IPM weighs the risks
and benets of pest
reducon methods to
determine the most
environmentally and
economically sound
manner to manage
pests.
Employees of private schools must
have a valid commercial pescide
applicator license to apply any
pescide (except anmicrobials or
inseccidal soaps) to private school
property.
If a company is hired to apply
pescides on school property, the
company must be licensed as a
commercial pescide operator and
each individual applicator (person)
must be licensed as either a commercial
pescide applicator, apprence, or
trainee. The licensing status of the
company and applicator, including
apprences or trainees, should be
veried by checking the ODA website:
