Please click on any of the certification numbers below for more information. The worksheets are formatted in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF).

The following tables depict the total number of pesticide applicators certified per year from FY1987- FY2004. Most years have three tables: 1) total number of certified applicators holding a valid certification, 2) initially certified applicator totals; and 3) re-certified applicator totals. The information provides EPA Region, state, and yearly totals. The first page is a comprehensive summary of yearly totals for all 18 years of data. All tables are divided into Private Applicator and Commercial Applicator totals. The term "NA" or “na” seen throughout these pages is intended to convey that information was not available.
