What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Arkansas licenses pest control operators through the State Plant Board under the Arkansas Pest Control Law. A pest control operator's bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the pest control law and the rules, and backs the customers you treat.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State Plant Board together with harmed customers. The amount is tiered by the work you do — $100,000 for operators handling termites and other structural-damage pests, and a lower $50,000 tier for those limited to household pest and rodent control.
The bond must stay in full force for your license to stay valid. If a licensee fails to maintain the required bond, the license becomes void and is not reinstated until a satisfactory bond is provided — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
