The University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service will offer pesticide applicator certification training April 9-11 in several Alaska communities.

The training will take place by videoconference in Fairbanks, Delta Junction, Anchorage, Palmer, Soldotna and other communities as requested. Classes will meet from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with an exam scheduled after the training.

The state requires certification for anyone who purchases, uses or sells restricted pesticides. Certification is also required for anyone who acts as a pesticide consultant, engages in the commercial or contract use of pesticides or supervises their use at a public location.

A $75 fee for the training includes study materials. Registration is available at http://bit.ly/PestInvasive.

Participants are encouraged to become familiar with the materials and required math beforehand. For more information and to request another training location, contact Phil Kaspari at 907-895-4215 or pnkaspari@alaska.edu.
