A private household pest company has separate California Structural Pest Control Board registration requirements. For a private company, its Qualifying Manager must hold an Operator license covering each branch the business conducts, and individual Applicators, Field Representatives and Operators must work for registered companies without contracting on their own behalf. Before the contract, the company must also supply the Board's Notice to Owner before signing a contract for work that requires registration. It explains the owner's mechanics lien rights. The local district answers property-inspection and mosquitofish-service inquiries at (562) 944-9656.

California licenses pest control through the Structural Pest Control Board, not CSLB, and a company has to be registered with the Board.
