If you are a company, and you hire another company to do work for you, you must report payments of more than $600 on a 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC (one copy to the IRS, one copy to the contractor, one copy for you).  The contractor gives you a W-9 so that you will have their name, address and tax number for the 1099.

 

If you are a private person not in business, you do not need to issue a 1099 when you hire a contractor, and you don't need the W-9.  Just file it somewhere and forget it.

Something is missing from this story.   A W-9 is used by the company or business that issues income to you----why would the pest control company give you a W-9?   Who paid who?

 

And....you do not enter a W-9 on a tax return.

i don't want to scare you, but as @xmasbaby0 said, you do not provide a W-9 to a business unless you have performed services for them. It's the other way around and only if business related. Be on the lookout for identity theft.
