Pesticide and herbicide licensing in Pennsylvania

Commercial application of pesticides and herbicides in Pennsylvania is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. Insurance has its own requirement: many general liability policies exclude pollution, so crews that spray should carry a pesticide and herbicide applicator endorsement. Our chemical liability guide lists the agencies for all ten states.
