What it is and who needs it.
What the applicator bond covers
The Missouri Pesticide Use Act (RSMo Chapter 281), administered by the Department of Agriculture Bureau of Pesticide Control, requires a certified commercial applicator to show financial responsibility before a license issues. That can be a liability insurance policy or a surety bond protecting people who may suffer legal damages from the applicator’s operations.
The statute sets a floor of not less than $25,000 for property damage and bodily injury (each separately, for each occurrence). When you choose a bond instead of insurance, the surety guarantees those damages up to the bond amount — and the bond must stay in effect as long as the license is active.
A bond is usually the cheaper way to satisfy the requirement: you pay the 3% premium rather than carrying a separate policy. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Enter the amount your license requires and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
