Alabama is one of the strictest states in the country on structural pest control regulation. The ADAI Structural Pest Control Section regulates four primary applicator categories — WDC (Wood Destroying Organisms Certified Operator), WDS (WDO Supervisor), FC (Fumigation Pest Control Certified Operator), and GPC (General Pest Control) — each with separate testing, continuing education, and annual renewal.
