Following is a list of pesticide state lead agencies. In general, the first Web site listed is a general site for the state's environmental agency. The second Web site is specific to certification and training programs. If two agencies are listed, the state department of agriculture or equivalent usually certifies most categories of applicators, while the structural pest control agency certifies only for structural pest control.
