Are individuals who do mosquito fogging required to be licensed?
It depends on whether they are public employees as well as on what product they are applying. Anyone who applies a Restricted Use Product must be certified by the Colorado Department of Agriculture (CDA). A person hired to fog for mosquitoes, who is not a public employee, needs to have a CDA commercial applicator license. A public employee applying a Restricted Use Product to control mosquitoes must be licensed by CDA in public health pest control. However, a public employee spraying for mosquitoes with a nonrestricted insecticide product does not need to be certified or licensed.
