Alabama — Termite Eradication And Control Work Bond
Alabama’s posted subterranean-termite work form names the State as recipient and sets a $2,500 aggregate obligation. Through The Southern Agency, match that specific professional-services instrument to the Department of Agriculture and Industries’ permit request—not to a general pest-control description or a homeowner’s treatment contract.

What this bond does
The posted form secures lawful performance of subterranean termite eradication and control work while the principal is permitted under Chapter 28 of Title 2. It calls for the work, business or profession to be conducted as the law and Department rules direct.
- Who needs it
- The permit-holding principal identified by the Department for subterranean-termite eradication/control work. Identify that operator rather than automatically naming an individual treatment technician or assuming the form covers every pest-control category.
- Who it protects
- The State is the named recipient. The form allows a person with a right of action against the principal for breach of its condition to sue the principal and surety for resulting losses. All surety losses together are limited to the $2,500 penal sum—not $2,500 for each job or claimant.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
Is this the same as the “termite bond” a homeowner buys with treatment?
No. This listing concerns the professional-services surety instrument payable to the State. A homeowner’s treatment/inspection or repair agreement is a different contract; the posted $2,500 instrument is not a blanket repair warranty.
Does each customer have a separate $2,500 recovery?
No. The posted form caps the surety’s aggregate liability for all losses at its penal sum. It also ties suit to a right of action against the principal for breach of the covered condition; payment is not automatic.
Does the annual customer inspection duty make this a one-year bond?
No. Section 2-28-9’s annual inspection duty concerns termite jobs during the customer contract. It does not establish this instrument’s duration. The actual option has no term label, so follow the Department-accepted form and actual dates.
