Obtaining a Georgia Pest Control License is both simple and complex. The simple side of it is, you take the prep course, you take the test, and you pay the fees associated with both of these and then the fees to get the actual license.
The complex side of things is that the test can be very difficult and time consuming. Understand that when you get your Georgia Pest Control License that you’ll need to renew every 1 -3 years and pay fees associated with it. It is also important to understand what regulations and laws apply to your license specifically and what you, as the operator/Georgia pest control license holder is responsible for. The responsibility lies on the pest control license holder if anything goes wrong.
