Steps

  1. Confirm ACE is administered by the Entomological Society of America via entocert.org/ace, distinct from state licensing and from BCE (Board Certified Entomologist)
  2. Base eligibility: 5 years of verifiable US pest management experience, a current US state/military/territory/tribal pesticide applicator license or certificate, passing a structural pest control knowledge exam, and two professional references
  3. Note degree-based reductions: a bachelor's degree in entomology or a related life science reduces the experience requirement to 3 years; a master's to 2 years; a PhD to 1 year post-degree experience
  4. Check entocert.org/ace/renew for current recertification requirements before advising on maintenance obligations
