Frequently asked questions

Is my MELCCFP permit enough, or do I need insurance?
Pesticide application certificate and insurance are two separate requirements. Commercial customers (restaurants, buildings) almost always require proof of liability.
Is pesticide contamination covered by a standard policy?
Pollution is often excluded from general policies. An endorsement or an environmental liability guarantee is recommended for this trade.
How much does insurance cost for a pest control company in Quebec?
The premium varies depending on your sales, the number of employees, your specific activities, your claims history and the limits chosen. As an indication, the civil liability of a small contractor is often between $500 and $1,800 per year, but the exact premium is established after analyzing your file. Comparing several insurers remains the best way to get a fair price.

Am I covered if one of my employees is injured on a construction site?
