About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

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 confirm the price for that bond.

Miss. Code § 69-19-9Mississippi Code § 69-19-9 (the Mississippi Pesticide Application Law / pest-control licensing) and the Bureau of Plant Industry's regulations condition a pest control company license on a surety bond, conditioned upon faithful compliance with the Act and the rules and upon the faithful performance of all professional service contracts. The minimum is generally $5,000 for insect, rodent, and plant-disease control work; confirm the amount for your service categories on your application.

After you buy

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 $5,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.

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 Bureau of Plant Industry. 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.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Mississippi pest control bond?The premium is $100 — set by our carrier’s rate book for this specific $5,000 bond. That is what you pay; the $5,000 is the coverage amount, not the price.
Do I pay the $5,000?No. You pay $100. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

Is there a credit check?No credit check: the application collects no credit information. Most applications like this approve instantly.
What if my category needs a larger bond?Some service categories or higher-risk work can require more than $5,000. If yours does, send us the amount the Bureau named and we'll confirm the price for that bond.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
