Instructions for FDACS online payment:

Go to the following site - https://pesticideexam.ifas.ufl.edu/ and choose “Apply for Examination”. This takes you to the FDACS License website. If you have not paid online before, you will need to set up a user login account.

Once you’re logged in, choose structural/residential pest control. Then click on Exam sign up.

Make sure to choose the right license/exam – Commercial Landscape Maintenance Personnel (LCLM).

The next step will be time consuming if you have several employees. You can make them enter their personal information and then pay at the right screen. You will need to enter name, driver's license number, birthday, home address, work address, home phone, work phone, and a pin number (for accessing FDACS site and CEU information later).

On the next screen, check that all information is correct. It’s important to make sure names and addresses are correct for recordkeeping in the future – submitting CEUs, etc. Name must match legal name on driver’s license.

Check all of the agreement boxes and hit submit. This takes you to a new screen where you can pay with a card.

After paying you will be able to print out a receipt with a voucher number and DTN – digital tracking number. Please bring this information on the day of exam. This must be submitted with each test to FDACS.
