Florida pest control license checks start with FDACS

Florida pest control is more than a truck with a bug on the side.

FDACS keeps the state path for pest control licenses. Its search can show pest control companies, pesticide workers, and pesticide dealers. That can matter for termites, tenting, lawn spray, and indoor pest jobs. The type of license can matter too.

Before a large job, match the name on the bid to the name in the search. If a sales person, tech, or sub crew is part of the work, ask whose license covers the job. Ask which type of work the license covers. A clean match will not promise a perfect result. It does give you a better starting point than a door tag or ad alone.

Keep the bid, license details, treatment plan, warranty words, and termite papers with the home file. In Florida, those papers may come up again when a buyer, lender, insurer, or next contractor asks what was done.
