Pesticide Training Services
Pesticides are safe to use….IF they are applied as part of an Integrated Pest Management program, which first addresses the correct identification and monitoring of the pest, and the consideration of alternate treatments, prior to selecting a chemical application. Provincial Legislation ensures professional pesticide applicators and dispensers are knowledgeable about the safe use and handling of pesticide products. Woodchuk offers tutorial support for those looking to attain their license to sell or apply pesticides safely.
