Operator certificates issued by Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services distinguish fumigation, lawn and ornamental work, general household pest control, and control of termites and other wood-destroying organisms. The proposed work must fall within the operator's certification category. You'll need to receive a termite-treatment proposal's written terms before any work or payment and must specify the organisms treated, inspection intervals and fees, maximum price, and exact annual renewal fee. Subterranean and drywood coverage appear on page 1 of that written treatment contract.
What pest control costs near St. Cloud

Licensing and rules for pest control in St. Cloud
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.
