- Category 29: Household Pest Control (HPC) The use of pesticide, device or practice to control pests that commonly enter, nest on or in, or invade structures such as cockroaches, fleas, silverfish, ants, birds, rodents, wasps etc. by any method other than fumigation.
- Category 30: Wood-destroying Organism Control (WDO) The application of any and all measures for the purpose of controlling termites, powder post beetles, wood boring beetles, wood destroying fungi in structures and/or adjacent outside areas by any means other than fumigation.
