Markel offers coverage specifically designed for pest control operators.
Your business is all about keeping unhealthy little critters out of people's lives. But to keep your business healthy, you need insurance coverage specifically created for professional pest control operators.
Why is insurance for pest control operators important?
You have probably spent more than one sleepless night thinking about the many ways your business could get sued. If you overlook termite damage, misapply chemicals, or stain or damage your client’s property, you could be responsible for paying these out of your own pocket if you don't have proper insurance.
Insurance for your pest and termite control business can help protect you if something goes wrong and can cover you for property, general liability, professional liability, excess liability and even cover mortality for your bed bug sniffing dogs.

Our coverages can include:
General liability
