Structural Pest Control licenses, certifications and employees By: Derrick Lastinger, GDOA

06/13/09

All licenses, certifications and employee registrations issued by the Structural Pest Control Section (SPCS) expire on June 30, 2009. Since the April 30th training deadline for employee registration renewals, the program has been working diligently to process training records before company renewal applications are generated. The deadline for trainers and sponsors to submit training verification records to the SPCS office passed on May 5th. Registered employees (technicians) and employers can verify training transcripts by going to the Licensing & Certification website. The program expects to have training records processed and the website updated by June 1st. After this date, if a training record is found missing, mail or fax a copy of the record to 404-463-6671.
Renewal applications will be mailed by June 1st. Information regarding an online renewal option will be included on the renewal application. If a renewal application is not received, you may go to the SPCS webpage to print an application; however, you will not be able to renew online.

Renewal Fees:
Certified Operator $100.00
Company License $170.00 (includes the $70.00 UGA research fee)
Sub-office License $10.00
Registered Employee $10.00

Reminders:
• Renewal Deadline is June 30, 2009.
• Late fees: renewal fees double if submitted on or after July 1, 2009.
• Registered Employee Training Exemption: for registration exam dates after January 1, 2009.
• Company Licenses will not be renewed without an active and renewed Designated Certified Operator.
• Company must hold and verify minimum liability insurance coverage.
