STATE MDARDCommercial Applicator
Pest control operations in Ann Arbor are governed primarily by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD). Contractors must ensure their business is licensed at the state level and that all applicators hold valid commercial certifications for the specific categories of work they perform.
At the local level, while Ann Arbor does not issue a specific 'pest control license,' contractors must ensure they are registered to do business in the city and adhere to all local zoning and environmental health ordinances. Maintaining accurate application records and carrying the state-mandated liability insurance are critical for ongoing compliance.
