CLASSES & EVENTS

General Information

The Limited Commercial Maintenance certification is available only for landscape maintenance contractors applying pesticides to their customers property. This license is sometimes incorrectly called the Roundup license. In fact this license can be used for much more than the herbicide Roundup. Products are limited to "Caution" labels only, not "Warning" or "Danger" labels. Applications are limited to beds and shrubs, not turf. Application equipment is limited to backpacks and handheld pump-up sprayers, not powered equipment. This certification no longer requires documentation of 3 years experience in Landscape Maintenance . Each applicator must be licensed and may not supervise other applicators. Six hours of training, an application, and proof of insurance is required.

This certification requires a passing grade (75%) on the exam. This certification must be renewed annually either by testing or with 4 CEU's.
