Structural pest control licensing
Is your exterminator licensed in Vermont?
One of the better searches in the Kelly network: you can look up by applicator name, applicator number, APPLICATOR COMPANY, city/county/zip, or CATEGORY. The company and category options matter most — search the category to list everyone certified for structural work in your area, rather than trying to verify a name you were given. Pair with the Vermont law page, which is unusually strong: the warranty of habitability cannot be waived, and notice from a governmental entity or qualified independent inspector starts the landlord's clock, so an inspection by a licensed operator does double duty as evidence. Kelly Registration Systems is a private company mirroring state licensing data for 33 departments of agriculture; treat a result as a convenience copy rather than the authoritative register, and call the state agency if anything looks wrong or missing.

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.
