§ 11705 Pest Control Licensing Requirements

This law says the director can give a license to anyone who meets the rules, letting them do certain pest‑control jobs for the years the license covers, unless it gets taken away early.

Key Takeaways

  • •The director issues pest‑control licenses.
  • •You must meet the article’s requirements to get one.
  • •The license lists the specific pest‑control jobs you can do and is good for the calendar years it says.
  • •The license can be revoked or suspended before it ends.

Example

A company wants to spray for termites. They apply, meet all the requirements, and the director gives them a license for 2024‑2025 to do termite work.

Because they have the license, they can legally spray for termites during those years. If they break the rules, the license could be cancelled or paused.
