Insurance services available

  • SSR Combined - Liability schemes underwritten by QBE

Pest control contractors often work with hazardous chemicals or firearms, in risky environments, potentially at height – so comprehensive insurance is a priority.

For contractors dealing with pests on a daily basis, the associated exposures can mean an increased risk of accidents, so we have put together comprehensive insurance under our Pest Control Contractors scheme.

Our scheme is designed for contractors who animal pest control services. We understand that these contractors will regularly be using firearms and pesticides, so our wording is tailored specifically to cover these exposures.

You can find full details of the cover available in the policy summary and wording below, but significant benefits of our scheme including inefficacy up to the full PL limit, damage to property being worked upon, treatment risks cover (covers damage to fixtures, fittings, carpets, upholstery etc. from incorrect application of products), criminal/deliberate acts by employees, failure to secure premises (e.g. not setting an alarm and a subsequent theft), incorrect destruction of goods and damage to third party plant being operated. We also have a great range of optional extensions for your clients, such as cover for the use of firearms, financial loss (including products), fidelity bonding, temporary removal of customers’ goods and misuse of phones.

Although our scheme is liabilities led, we can also offer a full package of covers to include Commercial All Risks, Business Interruption, Contract Works, Professional Indemnity, Property Terrorism, Legal Expenses, Directors & Officers Liability and Fidelity Guarantee.
