Lawn and ornamental pest control represents a very large portion of urban pesticide use.  As urban areas continue to expand and homeowners continue to desire attractive lawns and landscapes, the use of pesticides to control plant pests has continued to grow.  The use of pesticides to control insects and diseases in home and other landscapes is a serious business, one that requires a wide knowledge of the pests as well as some understanding of pesticides and their proper use.

This 8 hour course is designed to satisfy the SPCS Apprentice Training Requirements as specified in Section 593.21 (h) (2) "8 hours of classroom training in each category in which the apprentice is to provide pest control services".  The course can also be taken by other SPCS applicators to increase their knowledge in the subject area.
