As a pesticide applicator or pest management professional you have many responsibilities:
- You make daily decisions about how much and what chemicals you apply.
- You deal with complex and sensitive sites such as daycares, forests, and food establishments, which often require extra knowledge, training, and certification.
- You have higher exposure potential than most people because you are working with pesticides so often.
- You may need to respond to questions from the public about pesticides.
