Extermination and Pest control requires 3 levels of certification. First, you must determine and certify your poison and disposal sources and sites with the EPA, and the state, as well as get your professional license. Then you must clear your business with the Health department of the county in which you intend to do business.

The EPA and Health permits are essentially accounts set up with federal and state agencies certifying your suppliers and waste companies as being legitimate. Your proffesional license is a document certifying you as having passed the requirements of the state professional board in your chosen profession.

A federal tax ID is a number issued by the IRS to seperate you from your business and allow seperate tax filings.

A DBA, corporation, or LLC are fictional establishements to allow for varying degrees of legal, financial and tax protection from business activities, with the DBA offering the least, and the corporation offering the most. Also, note that forming an llc or incorporating eliminates the requirement of getting a dba. It is a good idea to form an llc to avoid personal liability from business transactions.

A Business Tax Registration is a local registration certifying that not only is your business legal in the eyes of the smallest local government, but that it is registered for all pertinent local taxes and inspections.

The enviromental and health registrations are essential to prevent massive lawsuits, fines and liability, as well as to take advantage of considerable federal and state programs to provide financial and infrastructure aid to business needing assisstance in transporting and disposing of waste.

That in mind, it is also essential that you cover your tax and registration liability as well. Filing for your DBA or corporationm or llc, federal tax ID, and business tax registration are essential to insuring that you remain current in your tax burden.

Finally, you can not ignore the requirements of your proffessional license. Not only is it required, but the procedures of a state are put in place to make every job site look roughly the same so that if an unlicensed pest control business is operating, they can be identified by the look of their work alone.

All of these filings are essential for the same reason. Failure to obtain them can result in fines, lawsuits, and in some cases criminal charges. On the other hand, when obtained, they offer a variety of protections, both financial and legal, allowing a greater degree of freedom for a business operator who possesses them than one who doesn't.
