LA pest control operator bonds.
$100 flat.
Louisiana requires a licensed structural pest control operator to maintain a $2,000 bond filed with the Department of Agriculture & Forestry. Ours is $100 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Louisiana regulates structural pest control — termite, wood-destroying-insect, and general household pest work — through the Department of Agriculture & Forestry and its Structural Pest Control Commission. A licensed operator must execute a bond conditioned on the honest conduct of the business.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Louisiana, with your customers as the protected parties. If an operator's covered conduct financially harms a customer, the customer can recover against the bond up to $2,000.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license, and the Commission generally requires written notice before cancellation or replacement. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your filing never lapses.
