Arizona State Compliance

Disclaimer: Smarter Launch makes every effort to keep the information in this article current and accurate. However, Arizona regulations can change, and it is ultimately your responsibility as a licensed operator to verify compliance requirements with your state's governing authority — in Arizona, the Office of Pest Management (OPM) — and to ensure your proposals meet all applicable rules and regulations. This article is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.


Arizona requires specific elements on all termite-related proposals and service agreements, regulated by the Arizona Office of Pest Management (OPM) at opm.azda.gov. Below is what's required and where to set each item up in Smarter Launch.

Important: All Arizona companies must have their termite treatment proposals approved by the state before use. Email a copy of your treatment proposal to Kellie Smith at [email protected] or call 928-300-7846. If she is unavailable, contact Alan Pugh at the Pest Management Division (PMD) at 602-542-4373.
