What is required to legally perform structural pest control?

To legally perform structural pest control, it is necessary to hold a license, regardless of the type of pesticide being used. This licensing requirement is in place to ensure that individuals operating in this field are adequately trained and knowledgeable about pest control measures, safety procedures, and the proper application of pesticides. The license demonstrates that the individual has met certain standards set by regulatory authorities and can responsibly apply pest control methods while adhering to safety regulations that protect both the public and the environment.

While certification from the state authority and special permits are important aspects of pest control, they are typically designed for specific contexts or types of pesticides rather than the general practice of structural pest control. Additionally, being unsupervised does not exempt individuals from needing a license to perform pest control tasks professionally.
