Do pest control businesses need insurance to qualify for licensing or client contracts?

Yes! In many states, proof of insurance is required to obtain a pest control license. Additionally: 

  • Workers’ compensation is legally required if you hire employees. 
  • Many commercial contracts, especially with property managers or municipalities, require certificates of liability insurance. 
  • Carrying coverage not only ensures compliance but also makes your business more competitive and trustworthy to clients.
