What type of license is needed for pest control employees at a private apartment building?

For pest control employees working at a private apartment building, a noncommercial license from the Structural Pest Control Service (SPCS) is necessary. This type of license allows individuals to perform pest control activities in noncommercial settings, such as residential properties like apartment complexes, where the pest control work is not part of a commercial pest control service.

A noncommercial license ensures that the applicators are trained and knowledgeable about the safe and effective use of pesticides in a residential context and comply with relevant regulations. This is important for safeguarding the health and safety of residents while applying pest control measures.

Other licenses or certifications mentioned, such as a business license or a private license from the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA), may not provide the specific permissions or training necessary for individuals performing pest control in a residential building. A professional certification might involve more advanced training or specialization, but it does not pertain specifically to the licensing requirements for pest control employees in private residential settings.
