What is the certification term for a Category 1 Applicator's License?

The certification term for a Category 1 Applicator's License is five years. This duration is significant because it ensures that applicators stay current with best practices, regulatory changes, and advancements in pest control technology. A five-year cycle allows for periodic renewal, during which applicators must typically demonstrate continuing education or training to maintain their qualifications. This helps maintain safety standards and ensures that licensed applicators are equipped with up-to-date knowledge of pest management techniques and the proper use of pesticides. The other options do not align with the established regulatory framework for the licensing period in Indiana.
