What it is and who needs it.
What the pesticide business bond covers
Kansas licenses pesticide businesses through the Department of Agriculture, and under K.S.A. 2-2448 the secretary will not issue the license until the applicant furnishes proof of financial responsibility — which can be a surety bond of not less than $6,000 per year (a certificate of liability insurance is the alternative).
The bond runs to the State of Kansas and is conditioned on compliance by the business and its officers, agents, and employees with the Kansas pesticide law. It protects people and property from harm caused by negligent or improper pesticide application.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim for damage you caused, you repay the surety. As of January 1, 2025, every pesticide business licensee or applicant must have a liability certificate or surety bond on file with the secretary. Enter the amount required and we issue it at a price from $100; no credit check up to $100,000.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Department of Agriculture. Submit the executed bond with your pesticide business license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists on them.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
