Impact Report Pesticide Safety The Chaves County Extension Office and the City of Roswell’s Spring River Zoo teamed up to host a Pest Control Continuing Education Workshop. This workshop was designed to provide a refresher class for individuals who are already licensed with New Mexico Department of Agriculture with a public or commercial license. The class enabled attendees to obtain continuing education to renew their annual license. The agent presented information on “Pesticide Safety,” covering pest management considerations, storage requirements, personal protective equipment, labels, mixing and loading, transportation, and pesticide spills. Pesticide license holders gained knowledge of these subject areas to enable them to be safer, more knowledgeable pesticide handlers.
