About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Arkansas licenses pest control operators through the State Plant Board under the Arkansas Pest Control Law. A pest control operator's bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the pest control law and the rules, and backs the customers you treat.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State Plant Board together with harmed customers. The amount is tiered by the work you do — $100,000 for operators handling termites and other structural-damage pests, and a lower $50,000 tier for those limited to household pest and rodent control.

The bond must stay in full force for your license to stay valid. If a licensee fails to maintain the required bond, the license becomes void and is not reinstated until a satisfactory bond is provided — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out.

Arkansas Pest Control Law (State Plant Board)The Arkansas Pest Control Law, administered by the State Plant Board, conditions a pest control operator license on a surety bond. Operators performing termite or other structural-damage pest work post a $100,000 bond; operators limited to household pest and rodent control post $50,000. If the required bond lapses, the license becomes void until a satisfactory bond is filed. Confirm which tier applies to your license category with the State Plant Board.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

Do I pay the $100,000? +
No. You pay $3,000 — the flat 3% of the bond amount. The $100,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made; it's not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Why is the amount $100,000? +
The State Plant Board sets a higher tier for operators doing termite and other structural-damage pest work, where a claim can be large. Operators limited to household pest and rodent control use a $50,000 tier instead.
What happens if my bond lapses? +
Under the pest control law, if you fail to keep the required bond in full force, your license becomes void and is not reinstated until a satisfactory bond is filed. We track expirations and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It's the only extra step beyond the application, and it informs approval, not price. The rate is a flat 3% either way.
When does it renew? +
Terms run 1, 2, or 3 years — your choice at purchase. You'll get renewal notices 60 and 30 days before expiration, with autopay available, and the bond must stay active for your license to stay valid.
