Pest work in Moorhead, Dilworth and the Clay County towns is done under Minnesota rules. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture licenses commercial applicators, Category A is required of every licensed applicator, and a licence is needed to apply any pesticide for hire. The inspection and written plan are the same as in Fargo.
The Red River is the line between Fargo and the Minnesota communities across it, and the service area crosses it. Moorhead is the largest of those towns, and Dilworth sits beside it, with the Clay County towns of Glyndon, Sabin, Comstock, Georgetown, Felton, Hawley, Barnesville, Perley, Borup and Wolverton further out. A household on the Minnesota side of the river is served by the same phone line and the same inspection, and the work done there follows Minnesota's licensing rules.
The state line matters for the licence. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture licenses commercial pesticide applicators, and its license-types page sets Category A, the core category, as required for every licensed applicator. A licence is needed to apply any pesticide for hire in Minnesota, which means the technician who works a Moorhead or Clay County call holds the Minnesota credential for that work.
What this page cannot give is the name of a Minnesota structural or pest-control category. That category was looked for and not found in our research, so this page does not name one. The technician states the category the job calls for on the visit, and the household can ask to see the credential on the phone or on the visit.
A pesticide treatment in Minnesota is applied under the Minnesota label and the rules that apply to the applicator. Keep children and pets away from treated areas until the technician confirms the area is safe and the label allows access. Ask the technician which products were applied and where, and keep the record of the treatment. Do not apply a product yourself across the river and assume it meets the Minnesota label, because the label is what governs its use. Tell the technician about any sensitivity before the visit.
The first call checks the address against the service area and the state. The Minnesota towns are on the list, and the technician who is sent is the one who holds the Minnesota credential for the work.
The inspection covers the outside walls, the openings, the inside rooms and the moisture, exactly as it does across the river. The findings are recorded in the same written plan format.
The technician states, on the visit, the Minnesota category the work calls for. Where the category is not one the technician holds for that work, the job is not taken and the household is told why.
Any product is applied under its label and in line with Minnesota's rules for applicators. The treatment is recorded with the place, the product class and the time before people and pets re-enter.
The record is kept with the state, the location and the category used. The follow-up is set in the same way as a Fargo call, and the household can ask for the paperwork at any time.
A pesticide applicator works under the licensing rules of the state where the treatment takes place. Moorhead, Dilworth and the Clay County towns are in Minnesota, so the work there follows the Minnesota Department of Agriculture's licensing rules, whatever side of the river the phone call came from.
The Red River is a state line, and a pest treatment does not cross it as a single job. A technician who works a house in Moorhead is working in Minnesota, and the licensing that applies is Minnesota's. The same applies to a house in Glyndon, Felton or Barnesville, which are all Minnesota towns in the service area.
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture licenses commercial applicators. Its license-types page sets out the categories, and it says that Category A, the core category, is required of all licensed applicators. A licence is needed to apply any pesticide for hire, which means a technician doing paid work in these towns holds one.
The distinction matters on the phone. A caller across the river should not assume the Fargo credential covers a Moorhead house, and the technician will say which credential applies to the work, rather than letting the household assume.
Category A is the core category, which the Minnesota Department of Agriculture requires of every licensed applicator. The page does not name the Minnesota structural or pest-control category, because our research did not find one. The category the job needs is named on the visit.
The core category is the base every licensed applicator holds. It covers the general principles that apply to any pesticide use, and it is the first thing a technician must hold before working under a licence in Minnesota.
Beyond the core, a technician holds the category that matches the work. The Minnesota structural or pest-control category was searched for in our research and not found, so this page does not give its name. A reader who wants the exact category should ask the technician on the phone, and the technician will name it.
This is an honest gap rather than a missing sentence. A page that named a category we could not confirm would be the kind of claim a household could be misled by, so the page says what the Department of Agriculture publishes and stops there.
The inspection is the same across the river: the outside walls, the openings, the inside rooms and the moisture are checked and written into the same plan. What differs is the licence and the category the technician names for the work.
The houses across the river are walked and recorded in the same order as the Fargo ones: the walls, the openings, the foundation and the rooms. The sunny walls and the openings are checked first, as they are in Fargo, and the plan follows the findings.
The record is kept on the same form, with one line added: the state and the category used. That line matters because the paperwork a household may ask for depends on the state of the work, and the record should make that clear without a second call.
The price is confirmed on site before any work begins, the same as in Fargo. A household in Minnesota is told the price and the options before deciding, and the plan is handed over in writing.
A household in Moorhead or the Clay County towns can ask which Minnesota category the work needs, ask to see the technician's credential, and ask for the written plan before any work. These are the questions a caller can put before anything is booked.
Ask which category the job needs. The technician names the category on the visit, and the household can check it against the list the Department of Agriculture publishes. A technician who cannot name it should not be taking the work.
Ask to see the credential. The household can ask for the paperwork on the phone or on the visit, and the technician should be able to show it. A household is entitled to see the credential for the work done in its home.
Ask for the written plan before any work begins. The plan sets out the findings, the options and the price, and it says which state's rules were applied. A household that has the plan can compare it with another quote and decide with the facts in front of it.
The most common Minnesota call. The house is inspected the same way as in Fargo, and the work is done by a technician who holds the Minnesota credential for that work. Moorhead and Dilworth are the Minnesota towns closest to the river crossing, and most calls from them start with the same walk.
Calls from the smaller towns, such as Sabin, Comstock or Felton, are scheduled around the drive. The inspection is the same, and the household is told the timing when the call is booked.
A commercial or rental building in a Minnesota town is inspected with its owner or manager. The plan is split between the occupant and the owner, and the Minnesota category for the work is named in the plan.
A property whose street or lot sits on the state line is checked for the state the work is done in. The record names the state, because the licence that applies depends on where the treatment takes place.
Moorhead is the largest Minnesota town in the service area and sits directly across the river from Fargo.
Dilworth sits beside Moorhead on the Minnesota side, and calls there follow the same Minnesota rules as Moorhead.
The Clay County towns further out, such as Glyndon, Sabin, Comstock and Felton, are scheduled around the drive, and the timing is set when the call is booked.
Minnesota's core category is required of every licensed applicator, so a household across the river can ask for that point on the phone.
Call any hour and explain what is going on. You get a clear price before any work starts.

The price is confirmed on site before any work begins, for the house and the work it needs. The inspection and the written plan are the same on both sides, and the price follows the plan.
A household does not need to choose the category. The technician names the category the work requires on the visit. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture publishes the list of categories, and the household can check it there.
Yes. Ask for the credential on the phone or on the visit. A technician should be able to show the credential for the work being done in the home.
