Pest Control Bonds: What They Are and How They Work

Pest control bonds are a type of surety bond that provide a guarantee to customers that a pest control company will fulfill its obligations and perform its services in accordance with the terms of the contract.

The bond is issued by a surety company and requires the pest control company to pay a premium in exchange for the bond. If the pest control company fails to fulfill its obligations under the bond, the surety company will compensate the customer for any losses incurred.

The amount of the bond is determined by the surety company based on the financial stability and reputation of the pest control company, as well as the amount of work performed and the risks associated with the job. The bond amount typically ranges from $5,000 to $50,000, although it can be higher for larger companies or projects.
