KY pest control bonds.
From $100. Enter your amount.
Kentucky regulates structural pest control through the Department of Agriculture under KRS Chapter 217B. A structural pest management company must register and provide proof of financial responsibility — which can be satisfied with a surety bond. Whatever amount the department requires, the premium is 0.5% of that bond amount, with a $100 minimum — your exact price appears in the on-page calculator as soon as you enter the required figure.

What it is and who needs it.
What the pest control bond actually covers
Kentucky licenses structural pest control — termite treatment, fumigation, and general pest management — through the Department of Agriculture's Structural Pest Control Branch under KRS Chapter 217B. A structural pest management company must register with the department.
Part of registration is proof of financial responsibility under KRS 217B.538. A surety bond is one accepted way to show that financial responsibility — it stands behind the company's obligations to customers and the public for the pesticide work it performs.
We could not confirm a single fixed statutory bond amount: the financial-responsibility figure is set by the department by rule rather than named as one number in the statute. So enter the amount your registration calls for — the premium is 0.5% of that amount, with a $100 minimum, and if you are unsure of the figure, send us your registration and we will confirm.
