A license issued by the department shall not be transferable or assignable. In
the event of the death or incapacitation of a licensed operator, his heirs,
representatives, other persons or legal entities, which may have an interest in
the structural pest control business in which the deceased was the license
holder, shall be allowed a maximum of twelve (12) months from such death to
obtain a qualified licensed applicator to operate or manage said business
under the provisions of KRS 217B.515 to 217B.585. A full-time certified
applicator shall be employed by such business for the application and
supervision of restricted use pesticides.
If a pest control firm is sold, the purchaser must comply with all state laws and

the business. The seller must notify the buyer that the department regulates
the pest control industry in Kentucky. The seller must notify the department that
the business has been sold within ten (10) days after the sale. If the license
holder for a pest control firm leaves or is terminated for reasons other than
death or sale of the firm, the firm must notify the department of this change
within ten (10) days and must acquire a license holder at the next testing
period or must be granted an emergency license by the department for a
period not to exceed the following scheduled examination. If the pest control
firm fails to meet these requirements, they must dissolve the business within
ninety (90) days. A full-time certified applicator shall be employed by such
business for the application and supervision of restricted use pesticides.
