What this bond does
Mississippi’s Bureau of Plant Industry requires a bond before issuing or reissuing the company license. For insect, rodent and plant-disease work, the minimum is $5,000; combined pest and weed work also uses at least $5,000.
- Who needs it
- Companies arranging security for licensed pest control services in Mississippi, with the proper licensed operator or permitted supervisor for the location. This is not a substitute for an individual’s examination or operator credential.
- Who it protects
- The bond is conditioned on compliance with the applicable Act and department rules and faithful performance of professional service contracts. The required liability insurance is separate.

Questions about this bond
Can I use my trade name rather than the approved company name?
The Bureau’s instructions require the company name on the bond and insurance certificate to be exactly the same as approved for the licensee. Start with that approved name.
Does the bond replace the insurance certificate?
No. Pest categories require separate insurance evidence. The bond and insurance must have matching expiration dates for insect, rodent and plant-disease work.
What should I check on the issued bond?
Check all covered category abbreviations, the company identity, required signatures and attached power of attorney before using it in the licensing file.
