What type of license is needed to perform pest control as an employee in an apartment or hospital?

To perform pest control as an employee in settings such as an apartment building or a hospital, a noncommercial license is required. This type of license is specifically designated for individuals who carry out pest control as part of their job but are not providing services directly to the public for compensation. In noncommercial situations, the pest control is typically conducted by those employed by the property owner or management, ensuring that pest control activities are compliant with health and safety regulations pertinent to the environment, such as hospitals where public health is a significant concern.

In contrast, a commercial license would be needed for businesses that provide pest control services and charge clients or the general public for those services. An exterminator license typically refers to a specific type of commercial license for individuals who apply pesticides to eliminate pests and may not cover the broader range of pest management scenarios involved in noncommercial settings. A general business license pertains to the right to operate a business but does not specifically address pest control qualifications.
