Wyoming pest control licence requirements
How do you get a pest control licence in Wyoming?
Wyoming applicator licences are issued by Wyoming Department of Agriculture (WDA) — Technical Services Division, Pesticide Program. Requirements are set per category rather than as a single general licence, so the exam you sit and the hours you carry depend on which categories you intend to work. Details below are published only once verified against the agency.

- Issuing agency
- Wyoming Department of Agriculture (WDA) — Technical Services Division, Pesticide Program
- Exam structure
- Core/general exam plus at least one category or subcategory, each at 70% minimum, at a WDA-specified location (Cheyenne office or a designated proctor). Core plus a category must be passed within 90 days of the first attempt or the core is retaken. After two failures, proof of an education course before a third attempt; escalating waits after that (45 days, then a UW PSEP new-applicator course or one year). Licensed applicators can add categories at no cost by passing the category exam; it does not change the licence expiry.
- Application fee
- $25
- Cycle length
- 36 months
- Agreements
- WDA runs reciprocal applicator applications through its renewals portal, but the terms were not found on a readable WDA page or in Chapter 28. Confirm with WDA: agrpestapp@wyo.gov, 307-777-7324.
Reciprocity is the most commonly misunderstood part of moving states. We publish only agreements confirmed by the agency, never inferred ones.
