What is a “PCO?
PCO stands for Pest Control Operator. A PCO is a professional pest control company; many PCOs offer bee removal services, yet some do not. Certified PCOs are the only people according to Florida law that are allowed to apply pesticides to honey bees, so if you are having a honey bee issue, contact a PCO.

PCOs walk their precinct before each election making sure their neighbors are registered voters, handing out election materials, and reminding people to vote. They are also key players in spreading the word about Democratic candidates! PCOs are elected every two years as part of the Democratic primary. In between elections, you can be appointed as a PCO between elections or be appointed as an Acting PCO for a precinct in which you do not reside.
