Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I take the Mississippi pesticide applicator exam?
At the Bureau of Plant Industry office on the MSU campus (24-hour advance notice at 662-325-3390), at any of six recertification session locations statewide, or through computer-based testing at Metro Institute ($55/exam).
Does Mississippi certification allow me to do pest control for hire?
No. Commercial applicator certification does NOT allow you to advertise, solicit, or perform work for a fee. A separate Weed and Pest Control License from MDAC is required for for-hire pesticide application businesses.

Certification is valid for 3 years. During the year before expiration, recertify by: attending an approved session, retaking the exam, or completing approved online recertification. Contact BPI at 662-325-5829.
