• Years in business/experience
• Gross sales
• Payroll
• # of employees
• Claims history
• Services offered
• Location of your business

Florida law requires that each control business must be: 

• Be licensed by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS)
• Carry the required insurance coverage of $250,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and $250,000 per occurrence and $500,000 in the aggregate for property damage, or a combined single limit coverage of $500,000 in the aggregate 
• Employ full-time a Florida-certified operator in charge of the pest control operations of the business location. This operator must be certified in the categories in which the business operates:
  • General Household Pest and Rodent Control,

In the Draft Interim Re-entry Mitigation Measures Memorandum, EPA is proposing the following label revisions for all sulfuryl fluoride products:

• Require more posting of warning signs to be clearer that there is no admittance to fumigation tents during fumigation.
• Require a fumigant management plan for residential fumigations.
• Require additional registrant-sponsored applicator stewardship and training; and
• Only allow use of the clearance devices shown to be effective.

In addition, EPA is proposing to require remote fumigations and aeration from outside of the fumigated space, increase aeration time to 12 to 24 hours, require active aeration (e.g., use of fans), and require portable stacks, which aligns with California’s Aeration Plan that has yielded positive results.
