Why You Need a Georgia Pesticide Contractor License Bond
Georgia requires pesticide contractor license applicants to demonstrate financial responsibility before a license can be issued, with certain statutory exceptions. A surety bond is one option for meeting this requirement, and state regulations establish a minimum $20,000 bond for ground contractors and a minimum $50,000 bond for aerial contractors.
The Georgia surety bond involves three parties:
- Principal: Pesticide contractor
- Obligee: Georgia Department of Agriculture
- Surety: Bonding company
The Georgia bond covers legal damages arising from chemicals, dusting powders, and similar products used by the contractor in regular business operations. The surety's total liability is limited to the bond amount, and Georgia regulations allow a maximum deductible of $500 for ground contractors and $1,000 for aerial contractors.
