STATE SPCA LicenseMDA Issued
Pest control operations in Duluth, Minnesota, are primarily regulated at the state level by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA). Contractors must secure a Structural Pest Control Applicator (SPCA) license, which requires passing state examinations and maintaining proof of financial responsibility through commercial liability insurance.
While Duluth does not impose additional municipal licensing for pest control, businesses must ensure they are properly registered with the Minnesota Secretary of State. Compliance involves rigorous record-keeping of all pesticide applications, adherence to federal EPA labeling requirements, and annual license renewals to remain in good standing.
