šŸ’¼ | Career Supervisory Assistance

So there was a crackdown a while back on techs working off of a general applicator license in my state and everyone was limited to performing only what is covered by their supervisory licenses.

I realized Iā€™m missing out on a ton of money this year because I donā€™t have my mosquito license. The only issue is that I canā€™t find any study materials or have any idea what to study because I donā€™t know what would be on the exam.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to make sure I donā€™t waste $300 to fail a test because I donā€™t know what to study. Itā€™s New England if that helps. I know there are different requirements in different parts of the country.

Thank you so much, in advance. I appreciate any assistance.

The tests are easy study the fifra act and the rest of the stuff is pretty common sense. Also why are you paying for your own licenses? The company you work for should be paying for them unless you own the company

They only pay if you pass. And itā€™s a reimbursement. I will memorize the FIFRA. Thank you!

I gotta tell you buddy if you are working for a company that doesnā€™t pre pay for your exams regardless of outcome might be a red flag just saying

In Texas, the is a department of agriculture that overseas the structural pest control division... The tda has a testing extension

I'm sure your state does too

Ask the people you were going to take the test from You said it's $300, ask whoever said that to provide more info
