Licensing and permits in Kentucky

Licence required. Kentucky Department of Agriculture — Division of Environmental Services (Pesticide Section). Ask for their commercial structural pest control applicator/business license number, current for this year (licenses renew annually on Dec. 31).

Residential building permits in Kentucky are issued locally — by the city or county building/construction-review department (e.g., Louisville Metro Construction Review, Lexington Division of Building Inspection) — applying the statewide Kentucky Building Code and Kentucky Residential Code, not by a single state office. In Louisville, permits come from the Louisville Metro Government Construction Review Division.

Tax: General home repair/remodeling labor is still exempt in Kentucky, but since HB 8 (2023) and HB 487 (2018) expanded taxable services, labor tied to services like landscaping, janitorial work, and labor/installation charges for installing tangible personal property are taxable — check the current taxable-services list on the state's TaxAnswers site before quoting a job.

Best time to book in Louisville

Book in early spring (March–April) before the May–September pest surge for better pricing and faster scheduling; waiting until an infestation is large typically adds 20-50% to the bill. Peak demand: May, June, July, August and September. Typical job length: 1-3 hours per visit (single treatments); severe infestations, termites, or bed bugs may need multiple visits over 1-4 weeks.

DIY or pro? DIY is reasonable for small, visible problems (a few ants, one exposed low wasp nest); hire a licensed pro for termites, bed bugs, whole-home infestations, or anything requiring wall/attic access.
