Pest Management Companies

With 90 years of family involvement in the industry, we know the business. Unlike many other businesses, pest control operators are heavily regulated and subject to many layers of laws, both state and federal. Experienced legal advice is important, both as a preventative measure, but also after a dispute arises.

Areas of Involvement include

8 Termite and Pest Management Issues

8 WDIR claims and liabilities

8 Damage Claims

8 Employee Contracts and Non Compete Agreements

8 Incorporation and Adherence to Corporate Formalities

8 Regulatory Issues

8 General business guidance and assistance.

8 Buying or selling a business

 

Whatever your areas of certification, we may carefully draft contracts for each of the PMO's services with recognition of applicable regulatory and consumer protection requirements. Special considerations must be made in performing termite services where damage issues can explode, thereby requiring the use of reasonable limitations of liability provisions.

If you desire to buy or sell a pest management firm, legal advice and counsel is essential. Knowing what liabilities to avoid and payment terms to utilize are important. Strategic use of non competition agreements is critical to maintaining and preserving the value of your proprietary interests.

Often forgotten by PMOs are legal restrictions on door to door solicitation, rights of cancellation, telemarketing, and collections.
