8,887 New York pest-control licenses
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (published on data.ny.gov) publishes New York's pest-control license registry as open data — 26,936 entries, fetched here on 2026-09-18: certified pesticide applicators (commercial, private, technician and aquatic anti-fouling paint applicators, each with their certification categories) and registered pesticide businesses.. That is far too many rows to publish in one place, so this page carries an alphabetical slice: the first 400 entries per letter of the entry name, 8,887 in all, tabled in full on the letter pages below — each with its license number, license type, category, expiration date and (where published) the county of operation, exactly as the state publishes them.
Status — computed from the expiration date
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (published on data.ny.gov)'s file has no status column, so status is computed from the expiration date against the fetched-on date (2026-09-18): a license whose expiration date was still ahead counts as active. Counted over all 26,936 entries of the file — not from the slice. 26,936 of 26,936 were active on that date.
| Status (computed) | Licenses |
|---|---|
| active | 26,936 |
| Total | 26,936 |
License type — the full file
Counted across all 26,936 entries of the file. The type wording is New York's own — the same trade carries different labels in different states, so read these against the state's own categories rather than a national template.
| License type (registry's wording) | Licenses |
|---|---|
| Certified Commercial Pesticide Applicator | 10,969 |
| Certified Commercial Pesticide Technician | 6,436 |
| Certified Private Pesticide Applicator | 5,463 |
| Registered Business | 4,062 |
| Certified Aquatic Anti-Fouling Paint Applicator | 6 |
The slice, by letter of the entry name
Every letter page tables its slice in full (the first 400 entries of that letter in name order). People and businesses are bucketed together by the first letter of the name.
What the columns mean
License type is the registry's own wording, kept verbatim; category is the registry's certification or license category (the certification category descriptions, joined where one certificate spans several categories). Status is computed from the expiration date — the registry publishes no status column, so a row reads "active" when its expiration date was still ahead on the fetched-on date (2026-09-18). Expiration dates are normalized to ISO format; nothing else is changed. The source file also publishes columns these pages do not render (DEC region codes); they are kept in the dataset behind this page.
