Mississippi conditions a pest control company license on a surety bond filed with the MDAC Bureau of Plant Industry. For insect, rodent, and plant-disease control work the bond is generally $5,000 — and at that size our flat 3% lands below our $275 minimum, so the price is simply $275.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file on the Bureau form with your company license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$5,000 bond — 3% is $150, below our $275 minimum, so the price is $275 per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
Mississippi licenses pest control companies through the Department of Agriculture and Commerce's Bureau of Plant Industry, and conditions a company license on a surety bond. The bond is a performance-and-compliance guarantee: it stands behind the professional service contracts you sign and your compliance with the state pest-control law and the Bureau's rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Mississippi together with your customers as the protected parties. If a company fails to perform a service contract or violates the pest-control regulations and someone is harmed, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
The minimum bond for insect, rodent, and plant-disease control work is $5,000; some service categories or higher-risk work can call for a larger amount. If your license category requires more, send us the figure and we'll issue it at the same flat 3%.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
