Pest Control Certifications to Look For

Know which certifications and licenses matter when hiring pest control companies in Erie, PA. What each one means, why it matters, and how to verify.

PA Pesticide Applicator License
QualityPro Certification
GreenPro Certification (eco-friendly)
Wildlife Control Operator License
National Pest Management Association Member

PA Pesticide Applicator License

What It Is

State license from the PA Department of Agriculture required for commercial application of pesticides. Requires exam passage and continuing education.

Why It Matters

Unlicensed pesticide application is illegal and dangerous. Licensed applicators understand proper products, application rates, and safety procedures.

How to Verify

Ask for their license number and verify with the PA Department of Agriculture pesticide compliance office.

QualityPro Certification

What It Is

Certification from the National Pest Management Association requiring companies to meet standards for employee screening, training, insurance, and service quality.

Why It Matters

QualityPro companies exceed minimum industry standards and follow best practices for safe, effective pest management.

How to Verify

Search the QualityPro directory at npmpestworld.org.

GreenPro Certification

What It Is

NPMA certification for companies offering environmentally responsible pest management using IPM principles and reduced-risk products.

Why It Matters

If you prefer eco-friendly pest control — especially around children, pets, and gardens — GreenPro certification ensures genuine IPM practices.

How to Verify

Search the GreenPro directory at npmpestworld.org.

Termite Specialist Certification

What It Is

Additional training and certification specifically for termite identification, treatment, and prevention methods.

Why It Matters

Termite treatment is highly specialized. Improper treatment wastes money and allows continued structural damage to your home.

How to Verify

Ask about their termite-specific training and which treatment systems they are certified to install (Sentricon, Termidor, etc.).

Wildlife Control Operator License

What It Is

PA Game Commission license required for trapping and relocating wildlife such as raccoons, squirrels, and bats.

Why It Matters

Pennsylvania has specific regulations protecting wildlife. Licensed operators follow legal and humane removal practices.

How to Verify

Ask for their WCO license number. Verify with the PA Game Commission.
