Structural pest control licensing
Is your exterminator licensed in Connecticut?
Connecticut regulates pesticides through its ENVIRONMENTAL department, not agriculture — searching an agriculture database finds nothing. No public applicator search was located for this state. The agency and program below are confirmed; verify by phone or email, and if you find a searchable register, add the URL here. Program line: 860-424-3369. Note that kellysolutions.com/ct/ is a PRODUCT registration search, not an applicator search, so do not mistake a product result for a license check. Pair with the Connecticut law page, which is one of the most detailed bed bug statutes in the country — it requires the landlord to use a certified applicator or a qualified inspector, and defines a qualified inspector to include a certified scent-detection canine team, so asking exactly who is being sent is a legitimate statutory question.

What to verify, in order
The business license, not just the technician
Most states license the company and certify the individual separately. A certified technician working for an unlicensed business is still an unlicensed job.
The category or phase covers structural work
Licenses are issued by category. An applicator certified for turf and ornamental has no business in your bedroom.
Status is active, not lapsed
Some state databases exclude cancelled licenses from results entirely, so a revoked company returns the same empty result as a typo. If you get nothing, phone the agency before assuming you mistyped.
Complaint and enforcement history
Where a state publishes disciplinary actions they are usually on the board site rather than inside the license search.
Link last confirmed: . State license portals migrate often and licenses lapse daily — treat anything older than a few months as a starting point, not an answer.
Always confirm on the state's own site. This page points at the official database; it does not mirror or cache license records. Status changes daily and only the issuing agency is authoritative.
