  • When I called the staff at Paul T. Murphy Insurance, they explained how auto reform would allow me to increase coverage and save money at the same time. I moved my home and umbrella insurance to my current auto carrier and saved over $350. In July 2008 when my auto insurance renews with Safety Insurance, I will save another $300 just for having my auto and home insurance with the same company. The staff at Paul T Murphy Insurance Agency really understands the new Massachusetts reform and how to pass savings and additional coverage to their clients.

What Coverages Do Pest Control Policies Provide?

While the particular coverages that a policy offers can vary, most pest control policies make a variety of property insurance and pest control liability insurance coverages available. 

Some widely available property insurance coverages include:

  • Commercial Property Coverage, which may cover company-owned buildings, equipment and supplies
  • Inland Marine Coverage, which may cover equipment and supplies during transportation to and from worksites
  • Business Interruption Coverage, which may cover sustained revenue losses brought on by covered disasters

Some of the more commonly purchased pest control liability insurance coverages are:

  • General Liability Coverage, which might cover common accidents, false advertising claims and defamation lawsuits
  • Professional Liability Coverage, which might cover errors and other mistakes made in the course of work
  • Excess Liability Coverage, which might cover expensive liability claims with supplemental protection
  • Fumigation Coverage, which might cover damage or injuries caused by a fumigation application
  • Herbicide and Pesticide Application Coverage, which might cover damage or injuries caused by an herbicide or pesticide application
  • Completed Operations, which might cover damage or injures that occur after a service is completed

Some of these coverages are fairly standard protections that are found in many commercial insurance policies, but others are somewhat specific pest control liability insurance coverages. Because the specific coverages are especially important, businesses in this space should work with an insurance agent who specializes in pest control policies when selecting what protections to include in a policy.
