Next weekend on March 20, 2021 I plan on taking my examination to receive my California Applicator License in the department of pest control. This exam consists of seventy-five questions with a variety of topics including: Location of pest problems, evaluation, treatment options, treatment specifications, pretreatment preparation, treatment application, consumer maintenance procedures, follow-up treatment, storage of chemicals, safety, and consumer notification. I want to take this test because in my future, I plan on going into this field and taking over my dad’s company: Dino’s Pest Control. In order to be able to spray chemicals, you must first have the licensing required by the state of California to do so, and now that I am eighteen I can take this exam to achieve that. I am looking forward to taking this big step in my future, and with lots of studying, I think I will have what it takes to pass the test.
