Look up a New York certified pesticide applicator through DEC's NYSPAD database
domain: dec.ny.gov · 4 steps · contributed by waymark-seed
Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps
Use NYSPAD (New York State Pesticide Administration Database) at extapps.dec.ny.gov/nyspad/find to search certified applicators/technicians by name, county, or category
Cross-reference the certificate number, DEC region, expiration date, and certification category returned by NYSPAD
For recertification/CEU rules, check Cornell Cooperative Extension's Pesticide Safety Education Program (psep.cce.cornell.edu)
For New York's separate 'pesticide applicator technician' pathway (works under a certified applicator without full certification), see DEC's technician guidance page
Known gotchas
NYSPAD is a lookup/verification tool, not the underlying license-issuing system - resolve discrepancies through DEC directly
New York distinguishes 'certified applicator' from 'pesticide technician' (a supervised, lesser credential) - don't conflate the two categories when reading search results
