    Pesticide Applicators License<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    One of the questions that has been asked recently is “How can I get a Private Pesticide Applicator License?” The license is issued through the Georgia Department of Agriculture. We assist clients at the Extension Office or direct them to the UGA Pesticide Safety Education Program website for details and directions on obtaining a pesticide license. To find out more about acquiring a license, visit the following link to our Worth County Extension, Private Applicators License webpage<\/a>. The site has great information that explains the training and the application process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If we can be of assistance at Worth County Extension, please let us know.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
