Insurance for a new pest control company
What coverage owners usually carry, and why commercial clients will ask for a certificate.
Common coverage
General liability, with pesticide or herbicide applicator coverage (often called pollution or chemical drift coverage), commercial auto for the trucks, and workers' comp once you hire.
Many states require proof of insurance before they license the business.
What clients ask for
Restaurants, property managers and schools ask for a certificate of insurance naming them. Keep it handy: Pestbook puts it in every commercial audit binder.
Talk to a specialist
