[accordion title=”Do I need an exterminator license?”]
There are no specific federal regulations affecting our business as we use heat treatment to kill bed bugs, not pesticides. However, some states and counties may require that you register with your states’s Department of Environmental Protection, or the applicable county agency that is responsible for regulating pesticides. We do not use any pesticides or chemicals of any kind and therefore we are not classified as a pest control business.
