Steps

  1. Confirm nearly all states require a separate business/company license for any entity applying pesticides for hire, in addition to each individual technician's applicator certification
  2. Virginia example: a Pesticide Business License is required per business location for any entity that sells, stores, distributes, mixes, applies, or recommends pesticides for compensation (vdacs.virginia.gov/pesticide-business-license.shtml)
  3. California example: a for-hire applicator business needs a DPR Pest Control Business (PCB) license, and each location must have a supervising individual holding a Qualified Applicator License (QAL) in the relevant category
  4. Confirm whether the specific state requires per-location licensing (as Virginia and California do) versus a single statewide business license, since this varies
