Pure Home Pest connects Batesville homeowners with independent providers, serving the oldest existing city in Arkansas, founded 1812 at the mouth of Poke Bayou on the White River.
Call (844) 924-1337Batesville holds a real distinction few Arkansas cities can claim: it is the oldest existing city in the state, founded in 1812 by John Reed at the spot where Poke Bayou, sometimes written Polk Bayou, empties into the White River. The settlement actually carried three different names before it became Batesville. It started as Napoleon, was known for a stretch as Poke Creek, and was finally renamed in 1821 for James Woodson Bates, an early Arkansas territorial judge. That two-century head start shows up in the city's building stock today, a mix of historic downtown structures and newer homes spread along the river. Batesville also carries a more recent title, Christmas Capital of Arkansas, earned by the sprawling 35-acre light display at Riverside Park each winter, and it draws climbers to Jamestown Crag, a genuine rock-climbing destination on its outskirts.
Arkansas licenses structural pest control through the Arkansas State Plant Board's Pesticide Division under the Arkansas Department of Agriculture. Individuals who want to perform commercial structural pest control work must qualify as a Commercial Applicator, which requires at least one year of hands on pest control experience or two years of college coursework in entomology, 40 hours of verifiable on the job training, and a passing score on a state administered exam, plus current EPA pesticide applicator certification. Businesses need a separate operator's license under one of several classifications, including Classification 1 for termites and other wood destroying pests and Classification 2 for household pest and rodent control, and must carry bond and insurance coverage before the state will issue that license. Wildlife and nuisance animal removal work is regulated separately: some nuisance species can be trapped or removed without a permit, but game and furbearing animals like raccoons generally require a Depredation Permit issued by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission rather than anything from the Plant Board.
