Who is considered a Pest Control Business?

A Pest Control Business is defined as any individual or entity that advertises or operates as a pest control entity. This includes companies and individuals that provide pest management services to control unwanted pests in residential, commercial, or agricultural settings.

The essence of identifying a Pest Control Business hinges on the intent and action of offering pest control services to others, typically involving the application of pesticides or other pest management techniques. When a person actively markets themselves or their services as a pest control provider, they fall within this definition, signifying their engagement with the industry and regulatory obligations associated with pest control practices.

In contrast, while farmers and individuals who sell agricultural supplies may use or sell pesticides, they are not primarily engaged in pest control as a business if their main activity does not involve actively providing pest control services to others. Therefore, the distinguishing factor is the explicit offering and advertising of pest control services.
