Home Inspections
As of July 1, 2007, Kansas Law requires any person "performing inspections for evidence of wood destroying insects, at the request of a buyer, seller, real estate broker, real estate salesperson, relocation company or financial institution, in connection with a real estate transaction or loan secured by an interest in real estate shall hold, at the time of inspection, a valid certification, issued pursuant to the Kansas pesticide law, which authorizes the person to use or supervise the use of restricted use pesticides in the control of wood destroying insects."
Home inspectors have to be certified commercial pesticide applicators in category 7a but home inspection businesses do not need a pesticide business license. However, if treatment is offered at the time of the inspection or during the communication of the inspection results or any other pesticide business activity is performed at the time of the inspection, then a pesticide business license is also needed.
You may check Commercial Certified Pesticide Applicators to see if your home inspector is on our our list (be sure category 7a is with the name).
If you believe a home inspection was performed by someone without the proper commercial pesticide applicator certification, please notify the Kansas Attorney General's Consumer Protections division at:
