Pest Control Bond
If you're in the pest control business and use pesticides, you'll want to familiarize yourself with pest control bonds. These bonds provide a way for governing bodies to ensure that pesticides are properly used. At Viking Bond Service Inc., we're committed to providing resources for businesses looking to meet state and local surety bond requirements. The following information will give you a general idea about how pest control permit surety bonds work.
Pest Control Bond Basics
A Pest Control bond is a type of license and permit surety bond. The bond is put in place to provide a form of protection for consumers. The bond protects the consumer, who has entered into a contract for pest control services with the licensee, from fraud and/or dishonesty on the part of the licensee as well as damage to the consumer caused by the licensee's violation of applicable state laws and regulations. Usually, the pest control bond requirement is continuous, meaning it must be maintained to maintain licensure.
Pest control bond amounts vary by state and by purpose of the bond. California, as an example, has the following surety bond requirements for pest control:
- $4,000 Structural Pest Control bond requirement
- $5,000 Maintenance Gardener bond requirement
- $50,000 Aerial Pest Control bond requirement
- $75,000 Ground/Fumigations bond requirement
The state governing agency administering the licensing process will either dictate the correct bond amount required or provide a way to calculate it.

How Much do Pest Control Surety Bonds Cost?
