Pesticide Dealer Licence

 

Who requires a licence:

A pesticide dealer is a person (or business) that sells pesticides to an end user.

 

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 Community 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 Community College (ACC). For registration information visit Assiniboine's website (www.assiniboine.net/pesticide) or call 1-800-862-6307 ext 6716 or email agextension@assiniboine.net.

 

Record Keeping & Other Requirements

Retail pesticide dealers are responsible for keeping record of pesticide sales (Form 3). Dealers must also ensure that individuals purchasing restricted class pesticides complete and sign the appropriate provincial declaration forms (Form 4 or Form 7). Dealers are to provide copies of Forms 3, 4 and 7 to Manitoba Agriculture on or before October 31 each year; form 7 is to be available at any time upon request by the Minister.
