Pesticide Applicator Guides

Pesticide Applicator Study Guides provide information to prepare pesticide applicators to meet Colorado’s written test requirements. In addition to the guide for the category of exam you plan to take, please obtain copies of the Colorado Pesticide Applicators’ Act and the Rules and Regulations pertaining to the Pesticide Applicators’ and carefully review them prior to taking any examinations.

The general and category examinations consist of true-false and multiple-choice questions. Questions for the category examinations will be specific to that category and will cover subject areas such as basic biology, pesticides and formulations, pesticide application, applicator safety, pest identification, environmental protection, integrated pest management, equipment knowledge, calibration, and host/site identification.
