Structural pest control licensing
Is your exterminator licensed in Nevada?
Nevada runs its applicator lookup on Kelly Registration Systems. 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. Pair with the Nevada law page, which contains the cleanest anti-shifting rule in the country: an agreement making you responsible for work the landlord already owes is NOT entered into in good faith and therefore does not bind, and the landlord may not charge you fees for performing their own duty either. So if a landlord asks you to pay the pest control invoice directly, the question is whether the duty was theirs — not whether you signed something.

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.
