The California Pest Control Insurance Blueprint | Eastman Insurance Solutions

by Shane Eastman

Built for California Pest Control Leaders Who Protect More Than Homes

Running a pest control business in California takes more than hard work — it takes resilience. Between state regulations, environmental rules, and rising operational costs, every decision matters.

You’ve built something real. Maybe you started with one truck and a handful of loyal customers. Now you’re managing a growing fleet, a tight-knit team, and a brand your community trusts. But the bigger your success, the bigger your exposure.

At Eastman Insurance Solutions – California, we’ve walked beside pest control owners through fires, floods, and the unexpected. This isn’t just another insurance article — it’s a blueprint to help you protect what matters most: your people, your purpose, and your peace of mind.

The 3 Cornerstones of Pest Control Protection in California

1. Your Fleet: More Than Trucks — It’s Your Reputation

Every route, every driver, every neighborhood your trucks enter represents your company’s reputation.
From San Diego to Sacramento, one accident can lead to lawsuits, downtime, and lost contracts.

Smart business owners protect their fleets with:

Commercial Auto Coverage built for service contractors.
Hired & Non-Owned Auto for employees using personal vehicles.
Umbrella Coverage to cover serious losses beyond standard limits.

At Eastman, we tailor these coverages to California’s unique liability landscape — helping you avoid coverage gaps that many out-of-state agencies miss.

2. Your People: The Heart of Your Business

Your technicians aren’t just employees — they’re the face of your brand and the backbone of your company. California’s labor laws are complex, and protecting your team means protecting your business.

You’ll want:

Workers’ Compensation Insurance compliant with California standards.
Employment Practices Liability (EPLI) to defend against HR-related claims.
Safety Program Consultation to help reduce incidents and premiums.

We believe protecting people is a calling. It’s part of our faith, part of our mission, and the truest reflection of honor and service in business.

3. Your Reputation: Liability That Reflects Integrity

From termite inspections to eco-friendly pest treatments, your clients trust you inside their homes and businesses. But one chemical spill or accidental property damage can quickly become a headline.

Here’s what you’ll need:

General Liability Insurance specific to pest control operations.
Pollution Liability for pesticide and chemical exposure.
Professional Liability for inspections, consulting, and reports.

We don’t sell “off-the-shelf” policies. We design California-focused programs that align with Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) compliance, local environmental standards, and your operational realities.

The Captive Advantage — For California Companies Ready to Level Up

For established pest control firms earning $5 million to $50 million in annual revenue, traditional insurance may be holding you back.

If your team runs a clean operation with strong safety practices, low losses, and consistent growth — you may be a fit for Group Captive Insurance.

Why captives make sense in California:

Profit-sharing: Earn back underwriting profits when you perform well.
Control: Customize claims handling, coverage, and safety programs.
Community: Partner with other performance-driven California business owners.
Stability: Build long-term equity instead of facing volatile rate hikes.

At Eastman Insurance Solutions – California, we work with national captive programs that align with your values — faith, stewardship, and long-term thinking — not short-term savings.

“Captive insurance rewards the disciplined, not the lucky.”

Faith, Family, and the Foundation of Risk Management

The best pest control businesses don’t just eliminate risk — they manage it with purpose.
That’s why our approach begins with listening. We learn your operation, your mission, and your challenges.

Our California team lives by the same values that built our agency:

Honor in how we serve.
Integrity in every recommendation.
Faith in every outcome.
Service to every client, every time.

When those principles guide your insurance strategy, peace of mind isn’t a product — it’s a byproduct.
