Florida cities don't license pest control companies. FDACS licenses the business at each location, its certified operator and its employees, and state law reserves pest control and pesticide rules to the state, though a city or county may require a local business tax receipt, which needs the FDACS license first. Ask for the company's FDACS license number before anyone treats the house.
