On-line reports are available over the internet
through the DEP
Online Reports Portal where one can search the PCP licensing
database for information on dealer businesses (companies that
sell restricted-use pesticides). You can search by the business
license number or by the business name. You can also search
for such businesses by the county they are located in and the
type of pest control work they claim to do. That report would
be useful to the general public when looking for pesticide dealers
in their area.
Instructions for (Initial) Pesticide Dealer
Business Licensing
General Information
As of July 1,
1983, the NJ Pesticide Control Regulations required that: No
person shall cause, suffer, allow or permit the operation of
a business which distributes federal or New Jersey restricted-use
pesticides to end users in New Jersey, without that business
being licensed as a Pesticide Dealer Business with the NJ Pesticide
Control Program (PCP).
A Pesticide Dealer Business is defined as any
person or organization which ultimately controls the transactions
conducted at, and the operations of, a pesticide dealer outlet.
In other words, if the pesticide dealer outlet authorizes the
distribution of a restricted-use pesticide to an end user, it
is a Pesticide Dealer Business. This includes any salesperson
or agent of a pesticide dealer who conducts transactions out
of a location, such as his home, which is different from the
main outlet of the business with which he is associated, if
that salesperson or agent is authorizing the distribution.
Each pesticide dealer outlet from which restricted-use
pesticides are distributed, sold or offered for sale to end
users in New Jersey, must be licensed. Each name under which
a pesticide dealer outlet operates must be licensed separately.
The licensing requirement also applies to out-of-state outlets
from which restricted-use pesticides are distributed, sold or
offered for sale to New Jersey end users.
Each Pesticide Dealer Business must employ at
least one licensed Responsible Certified Dealer who works
at that outlet. If there is a change of the Responsible
Certified Dealer at a business location, complete the Responsible
Certified Dealer Change Form and mail to the address
indicated at the top of the form.
The Pesticide Dealer Business License must be
renewed annually. The license year is from November 1st to October
31st. Application forms will be accepted throughout the year,
however, the full license fee is required for licensing for
any part of that year.
Instructions for Completing the Application for the Initial
Licensing of a Pesticide Dealer Business:
To apply for a Pesticide Dealer Business License,
complete the Pesticide
Dealer Business License Form (VPL-014). Be sure to complete
the application ENTIRELY as incomplete applications will be
returned for the missing information. Be sure to fill in the
street address of your pesticide dealer outlet where the form
asks for the physical address of the business, as the PCP requires
the physical location of the outlet for inspection purposes.
Send the completed application to:
NJDEP/Pesticide Control Program
Attn: Dealer Business
PO Box 411
Trenton, NJ 08625
The completed application can also be faxed
to (609) 984-6555. Do not submit the $150.00 license fee
at this time. After receipt of the application form the
PCP will send you an invoice for the Pesticide Dealer Business
License. That invoice will then have to be signed and returned
with the $150.00 license fee, and upon receipt the license will
be issued.
A Pesticide Dealer Business License renewal
will be automatically sent to you before the expiration date
of your license. Any changes to the Pesticide Dealer Business
License must be reported to the PCP within 30 days.
If you have any questions pertaining to Pesticide
Dealer Business licensing, call the PCP at (609) 984-6601.
