Steps

  1. Clarify jurisdiction first: the Structural Pest Control Board (pestboard.ca.gov) licenses for-hire structural (in/around buildings) pest control operators, field representatives, and businesses; DPR (cdpr.ca.gov) licenses agricultural Qualified Applicators separately
  2. Use the SPCB 'Search For A License' tool at pestboard.ca.gov/license.shtml
  3. Search by name, business name, license number, or use Advanced Search for location/status filters
  4. Identify which SPCB branch applies: Branch 1 (fumigation), Branch 2 (general/household pest), or Branch 3 (wood-destroying pests/organisms)
  5. Note cancelled or expired licenses do not appear in the online search - call SPCB (916-561-8704) for historical status
