Exterminators and pest control professionals face numerous challenges daily, from handling hazardous chemicals to managing environmental impacts. These risks expose them to potential liabilities that can threaten their businesses. That’s where SWG Enviro comes in. We offer specialized Environmental Liability Insurance designed to provide comprehensive protection tailored to their unique needs. Our coverage includes:
- Pollution Liability Shields against claims related to the release of hazardous substances during operations. For instance, imagine a pest control company accidentally spilling pesticides while treating a property. The chemicals seep into the surrounding soil and water supplies, leading to environmental contamination. Nearby residents file claims for health issues and property damage caused by the contamination, exposing the company to significant legal and financial liabilities.
- Professional Liability Covers errors and omissions in pest control services. For instance, imagine a pest control technician advises their client of the wrong type of treatment leading to incomplete eradication of an infestation. As a result, the infestation worsens and causes damage to the property owner’s garage. The property owner files a claim against the company for their economic loss. Professional Liability coverage would step in to address the claim, ensuring financial protection for the pest control business.
- Third-Party Liability Protects against claims of bodily injury and property damage resulting from their work.
For instance, imagine a pest control technician accidentally leaving equipment unsecured after completing their work at a client’s property. Later, a visitor trips over the equipment and suffers a severe injury, necessitating medical attention. Additionally, the falling visitor damages the property’s outdoor decorations. The injured party files claims against the pest control company for bodily injury and property damage. Third-Party Liability coverage would address these claims, providing financial protection to the business while ensuring the victim receives appropriate compensation.
By partnering with SWG, your clients can secure their businesses and focus on delivering exceptional pest control services without worry.
