Structural pest control licensing
Is your exterminator licensed in Arkansas?
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. The Pesticide Section within Plant Industries is the right office; reach it on (501) 225-1598. Arkansas is the state where this check matters most and helps least: it is the only state with no implied warranty of habitability, its statutory quality standards do not list infestation, and failing to pay rent and vacate is handled as a criminal matter. You cannot withhold, you likely have no statutory claim, and your practical leverage is the municipal housing code plus insisting on a licensed operator. Read the Arkansas law page before doing anything.

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.
