What types of insurance does a pest control business need?

Pest control companies work with chemicals, equipment, and client property, which means specialized protection is essential. Core coverages include: 

  • General Liability – Protects against property damage or third-party injuries, such as accidental overspray or a client slip during service. 
  • Workers’ Compensation – Required in most states if you employ staff; covers injuries from chemical exposure, lifting, or equipment accidents.
