About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the pest control bond actually covers

Minnesota licenses structural pest control applicators through the Department of Agriculture under Minn. Stat. 18B.32. Commercial and noncommercial applicators must demonstrate financial responsibility — the rule's way of making sure an applicator can answer for harm done while applying pesticides.

You can satisfy financial responsibility three ways: a net-assets statement, a certificate of liability insurance, or a performance or surety bond. The Department's published structural-applicator figures are $100,000 bodily injury, $200,000 for two or more per occurrence, and $10,000 property damage — a bond must carry the same amounts and provisions, and cover at least the license term.

Because the commissioner sets the amount and many applicators meet the rule with insurance instead, confirm what your category actually requires before you buy. If a surety bond is the route you're taking, enter that amount and we issue it from $100 — the application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly.

Minn. Stat. 18B.32 (structural pest control)Under Minn. Stat. 18B.32 and the Minnesota Department of Agriculture financial-responsibility rules, a structural pest control applicator must demonstrate financial responsibility — by net-assets statement, liability insurance, or a performance/surety bond of a kind and amount determined by the commissioner. The Department's published structural figures are $100,000 bodily injury, $200,000 for two or more per occurrence, and $10,000 property damage; a bond must match those provisions and cover at least the license term. Confirm the requirement for your category with the MDA.

FAQ

Common questions.

Does Minnesota require a pest control bond?Minnesota requires structural pest control applicators to show financial responsibility under Minn. Stat. 18B.32 — and a surety bond is one accepted way to do that, alongside liability insurance or a net-assets statement. Many applicators meet the rule with insurance, so confirm what your category needs before buying.
How much is it?The bond is priced at 0.5% of your bond amount, $100 minimum. The amount itself is set by the Commissioner of Agriculture for your category — the Department’s published structural figures are $100,000 / $200,000 bodily injury and $10,000 property damage. Your exact price appears at the application.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, and most applications approve and issue instantly. If a check does run on a larger amount, it's a soft pull that never affects your credit score.
Can I use insurance instead of a bond?Yes. Minn. Stat. 18B.32 lets you meet financial responsibility with liability insurance, a net-assets statement, or a surety bond. A bond is useful when you would rather not carry the insurance or tie up net assets — it must carry the same amounts and provisions the rule sets.
How long must the bond stay in place?At least as long as your license term. The bond or insurance must cover a period at least equal to the term of the structural pest control license, so keep it active while you are licensed.
