Just lost a inspection due to not being pest certified. Does anyone know what the requirements are for pest inspections in Washington and how does one become pest certified. If I was going to get certified does this count for continuing education hours icon_question.gif Thanks

Hi shay,


you need to contact your local department of agriculture and take a pest inspection exam it is required in Washington and it is not a hard test. hope this helps. ![icon_wink.gif](upload://ssT9V5t45yjlgXqiFRXL04eXtqw.gif)

Lots of info here…

Many HIs pass the exam with little more than the suggested reading material. But...WSDA and/or WSPCA often hold one day seminars followed by testing (some may qualify for CEUs). Not a bad idea if one is in your area.

Be sure to read the insurance/bond requirements for SPI licensing.
