Anyone wanting to recertify a commercial pesticide license in Oregon and Idaho can turn to the OSU Extension Office for Malheur County.
The office announced that OSU is hosting a two-day pest management course at Four Rivers Cultural Center from 7:30 a.m. to 4:40 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 21, and 7:30 to 11:40 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 22.
Those seeking to recertify their Oregon license can earn 10 regular credit hours and two aerial pesticide applicator credits, according to an Extension flyer.
The cost to register is $100 for both days, and $110 for those who register after Wednesday, Feb. 14.
According to Bobbi Howell, office manager at the Extension Office for Malheur County, the organization last held a commercial license recertification course before the pandemic. She said online courses were expensive, costing as much as $60 per credit.
She said the February classes will be held in two rooms at the cultural center, 676 S.W. 5th Ave.
