Michigan’s Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, P.A. 451, As Amended, and Regulation 636, As Amended, require individuals to be either a certified pesticide applicator or registered applicator to apply a pesticide for a commercial purpose or in the course of his or her employment. A person may apply a general use pesticide for a private agricultural purpose without being a certified applicator or registered applicator.
A private agricultural applicator, who plans to use a restricted-use pesticide product, may apply for a private pesticide applicator certification credential.
