Pest Control Applicator Vocabulary Game

Yes. The game is free to play with no sign-up. Signing in adds AI explanations for any term.

There are 4 games built on 20 Pest Control terms. In Guess the Term, a clue describes one term and you have six tries to spell it, with green, yellow and gray letters showing how close you are. In Term Match, six terms appear as colored tiles; swap neighbors to line up three or more of the same term, and each match shows what the term means. In Term Pairs, twelve face-down cards hide six pairs of terms; flip two at a time to find each pair, and every pair you find shows what the term means. In Term Search, five terms hide in a grid of letters, reading across, down or diagonally; drag across a term to circle it, and each term you find shows what it means.

OpenExamPrep researched each term from the EPA / State Departments of Agriculture content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.

Each state, tribe or territory sets its own passing score and number of questions, so check with your certifying agency (usually the state Department of Agriculture). Federal rules require only a passing score on a proctored written exam that covers the core competency areas and your category.

The Core exam covers general pesticide safety, laws, and environmental protection applicable to all applicators. Category exams are specific to the type of pest control you'll perform — such as Agricultural (1A), Ornamental and Turf (3), Right-of-Way (6), or Structural Pest Control (7). You must pass Core plus at least one category to become certified.
