PSEP Contacts

Pesticide Safety Education Programs (PSEPs) are based at Land Grant Universities in each state. On the national level, PSEPs promote responsible decision-making and actions to protect pesticide users, public health, plant and animal health, and the environment. They offer information, training, and resources for pesticide applicators and the general public.

The primary stakeholders of PSEPs are certified pesticide applicators. Pesticide certification requirements vary by state, but in general anyone buying or using a restricted pesticide must be a certified pesticide applicator. Some states also require anyone in the business of applying pesticides, either restricted use or general use, to the land or property of another to be certified.
