you need to have 3,000 hours of verifiable termite experience in the last 5 years. how are you supposed to get 3,000 hours of experience unless that's your primary job?!

I must have missed something.?

I went to a class or two and took 3 tests (I think) passed now I are a State certified Applicator and that also qualifies me to do WDIIR's.

How did you come up with 3000 hrs.?

Maybe the State of AZ figures hrs. of experience kinda like the CMI folks do. I took a science class in forth grade that had some bugs in it = 1 semester at 600 hrs. lol

But you need a QP in order to legal, who is supposed to make sure you get the proper training and education.

I have a Qualifing Party and at this point I am getting close to getting that designation.

You only need a QP for getting chemicals and such. I do not have any involment in such matters. I can inspect for Wood destroying insects and infestations, and so can anyone else with the B-2 classification with no need for a QP.

After New Years I thought we would be calling you lefty, from blowing off your hand.

i spoke to someone at arizona structural pest control commission and he told me that unless you have a QP, then you need 3000 hours of experience. I told him that I was not planning on treating, just inspecting for and he told me that it did not matter. if anyone knows differently, please let me know. thanks.

Thats BS. I am licensed to treat and do inspections. I do have a QP, but from what I understand that is only needed if you require chemical.

Have they maybe changed the rules since you guys got your wdi inspection license? how long have you had them? I'm hoping that this 3,000 hour thing isn't true. Funny, you need 80 hours to get licensed to inspect an entire house but need 3,000 hours to be able to tell someone if they have termites or not.
