10. Is CCC important? I have $100,000 in coverage on my current policy, isn't that enough?

CCC is property in the PCO's care custody and control belonging to their customer. It could be an oriental rug, a shelf of Hummel figures, valuable antiques, or mainframe computers and their data. All of these items may be valued at well over $100,000. Be safe, our policies can include this valuable coverage to the full occurrence limit you choose.

11. How do the Brownyard programs compare against my current insurance provider?

Take the Brownyard Challenge, its questions will help guide you to the proper answer.

12. Is Sudden And Accidental Pollution Coverage Important?

Yes, most pest control policies rely only on the Pesticide Herbicide Endorsement (CG2264) to provide coverage at the jobsite. Some have even followed our lead by offering Automobile Pollution Transit Coverage; but when faced with an unexpected pollution hazard, not on the road or at the jobsite, Brownyard provides Sudden and Accidental Pollution Coverage.
