About Us

The goal of our Pesticide Safety Education program is to reach all users of pesticides in Illinois with educational information on the effective, economic, and environmentally sound use of pesticides.

Our mission is twofold:

• To provide training through Pesticide Applicator
  Training (PAT) programs for private and commercial
  applicators in Illinois.
• To provide pesticide education to a diverse audience
  in "other related" program areas such as worker
  protection, pesticide recordkeeping, water quality,
  endangered species, IPM, food safety, etc.
