Pesticide Dealer Licence
Who requires a licence:
Retail pesticide dealers that sell commercial and/or restricted class pesticides in Manitoba are required to have a Pesticide Dealer Licence.
As of January 2009, retail businesses that sell capsaicin-containing animal repellents (ie. pepper sprays), including both domestic and restricted class products, are also required to be licensed.

Dealer Licences must be posted or be immediately available at the retail pesticide outlet.
December 1, 2020 the certification requirements for obtaining a Manitoba Pesticide Dealer Licence changed. Applicants applying for a Manitoba Pesticide Dealer Licence or due for recertification are now required to complete a Pesticide Dealer's exam which will be offered through Assiniboine College. The Dealer's exam replaces the requirement of Pesticide Core and your additional category (Agriculture Ground, Livestock, etc) that were necessary to obtain a Dealer licence in the past.
This course is offered by Assiniboine College. For registration information visit Assiniboine's website (www.assiniboine.net/pesticide) or call 1-800-862-6307 ext 6716 or email agextension@assiniboine.net.
