Steps

  1. Recognize there is no single national structural license; EPA sets floor standards under 40 CFR Part 171, and each state builds its own category structure on top
  2. California example: SPCB Branch 1 (fumigation), Branch 2 (general pest), Branch 3 (wood-destroying pests/organisms)
  3. Georgia example: Category 29 (Household Pest Control) vs. Category 30 (Wood-destroying Organism Control), with fumigation handled as a further separate category
  4. Texas example: distinct 'Termite Control' (WDI, non-fumigation) and 'Structural Fumigation' categories under the Structural Pest Control Service program
  5. Always confirm current category names/numbers on the specific state agency's site before advising an applicator, since renumbering happens
