About this bond

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 — we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check, and if you are unsure of the figure, send us your registration and we will confirm.

KRS Chapter 217B (KRS 217B.538)Kentucky structural pest control is regulated by the Department of Agriculture under KRS Chapter 217B. KRS 217B.538 requires a structural pest management company to register and provide proof of financial responsibility, which a surety bond can satisfy. The statute does not name a single fixed bond amount in the text we reviewed — the financial-responsibility figure is set by the department by rule. Confirm your required amount on your registration before filing.

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

How much is the Kentucky pest control bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The bond amount itself is the financial-responsibility figure the Department of Agriculture sets — there is no single fixed statutory number we could confirm, so enter the amount on your registration and the quote updates.
Is a bond the only way to show financial responsibility? +
No — KRS 217B.538 requires proof of financial responsibility, and a surety bond is one accepted form. A surety bond is usually cheapest, since you pay the 3% premium rather than tying up the full amount in other security.
