- Angi (Gretna/Omaha office, Nebraska (profile “ABC Termite & Pest…): 4.6/5, 89 reviews, retrieved October 29, 2026
- BBB (Lincoln, Nebraska (HQ and corporate-owned locations)): rating not shown, 0 reviews, retrieved November 2, 2026

## Better Business Bureau

- Its BBB profile shows a C+ grade and 3 complaints in the last three years.
- Not BBB accredited.
- Complaints filed in the last 12 months: 0.
- BBB customer reviews: No reviews.
- Retrieved November 2, 2026.

## Contracts and sales practices

- Door-to-door badge: N/A.
- Sales notes: Not found. The careers page only links to an outside job board and lists no roles. The site, BBB complaints and Angi reviews describe phone/web estimates and technician visits; none describes reps at the door. Reddit, Indeed and Facebook could not be read (human-verification checks / terms), and no city solicitor-permit search was run. Recorded as unknown, not “no”.
- No contract term, cancellation method, cancellation fee, renewal or arbitration terms are published on the company site (residential, termite, FAQ and service pages read). Service pages list a Basic and a Premier program and a One-Time service without a term.
- Basic Pest Control Program: heavy exterior application, dewebbing and wasp-nest removal; yard, mosquito and rodent services at extra charge; “Warranty excludes bed bugs, termites, fleas, carpenter ants, mites, ticks, chiggers & clover mites”.
- One-Time ABC Service: single treatment with a 45-60 day residual, “Not intended for major infestations”.
- Bed bug treatment includes a 45-day re-treatment warranty; service fee applies to bed bug and termite quotes.
- Termite warranty: “Lifetime Extendable Warranties” are assumable/transferable “when kept in force” through annual inspections; inspection fees “never increase over the life of the warranty”.
- A signed contract exists that the public site does not publish. In a BBB reply (August 13, 2024) the General Manager wrote that the customer “did sign a contract and prepaid for 6 services”, that “the original contract does not appear to have a cancel date notated”, and that “Line #24 on the contract, above his signature states the on going process after the initial contract”. The company said auto-generated reminders (email 7/31/24, text 8/6/24) went out for the 8/7/24 service and declined to remove the $85.80 renewal-visit charge, finding the customer responsible. No contract length in months, cancellation method or fee is stated by the company. (counted in the score)
- The same BBB complainant described it as “an automatic renewal of a one year contract” (a customer report, not a company statement of the term).

## Licensing and registrations

- Status and expiry are as the issuing agency’s record showed them on the date retrieved.
- Nebraska · Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA), Pesticide Program · Individual commercial applicator: HELZER, NICK L. (Lincoln). Categories 08 Structural and Health-Related Pest Control, 8W Wood Destroying Organisms. Nebraska issues no company/business pesticide license for ground structural work. · no. NEB005344 · status: Current (expiration 04/15/2027; the database lists current licenses only and has no status field) · expires April 15, 2027 · note: Employer is not shown by the NDA database; the tie to the company is the BBB principal-contact listing. No insurance or bond is shown.
- Nebraska · Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA), Pesticide Program · Individual commercial applicator: HELZER, CODY N. (Lincoln). Categories 08 Structural and Health-Related Pest Control, 8W Wood Destroying Organisms, 09 Public Health Pest Control. · no. NEB092315 · status: Current (expiration 04/15/2029) · expires April 15, 2029 · note: Last-name search “Helzer” (Commercial) returned exactly these two records. Only the two BBB-listed principals were searched; the technicians who do the field work (first names only on reviews) were not looked up.
- Iowa · Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS), Pesticide Bureau · Pesticide company license record “ABC TERMITE & PEST CONTROL”, city OMAHA, county “Out of State - 00” (IDALS company search; license type not shown in the result row). The company lists no Iowa office; its site says it serves Council Bluffs. · no. 06569-001 · status: Current (expiration December 31, 2026; the lookup has no status word) · expires December 31, 2026 · note: Company Name search “ABC Termite”, November 2, 2026. Attributed to this company by name and city (Omaha); the result row shows no address. A second IDALS search (“ABC Term”) returned the same two rows and “Omaha Termite” returned none; the attribution to this company still rests on name and Omaha city only, and it is not scored.
- Iowa · Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS), Pesticide Bureau · Pesticide company license record “ABC TERMITE & PEST CONTROL,INC”, city LINCOLN, county “Out of State - 00” · no. 05109-000 · status: Expired December 31, 2006 (a 20-year-old record; the lookup keeps long-expired licenses) · expires December 31, 2006 · note: Superseded by 06569-001. Recorded for completeness; not a current-operations expired license (no Iowa branch).
- Iowa · Iowa Secretary of State (Business Entities Search) · Business registry: foreign profit corporation (CODE 490 FOREIGN PROFIT), State of Inc. Nebraska, filed 10/29/1999. Principal office on file: 6650 South St, Lincoln, Nebraska 68506 (not the current HQ address). · no. 233622 · status: Inactive (no inactivation date or reason shown) · expires PERPETUAL · note: Iowa search “ABC Termite”, November 2, 2026. The summary page shows only the status, not when or why it went inactive; not scored.
- Nebraska · Nebraska Secretary of State (Corporate & Business Search) · Business registry (entity status) · status: Not looked up: the search requires a reCAPTCHA checkbox.

## Legal and regulatory record

- Only resolved government actions count toward the score. Summaries are our researchers’ wording of the source.
- [COMPLAINT RECORD, a count or summary of complaints, not findings; not counted in the legal score; cited as evidence for complaint record] November 2, 2026 · Nebraska (BBB of Midwest Plains) · complaint-summary: BBB file for ABC Termite & Pest Control, Inc. (Lincoln HQ and corporate-owned locations): 3 complaints in the last 3 years, 0 in the last 12 months; rating C+ “Failure to respond to 1 complaint(s) filed against business”; not accredited; 0 customer reviews.
- [COMPLAINT RECORD, a count or summary of complaints, not findings; not counted in the legal score; cited as evidence for complaint record] June 11, 2025 · Nebraska (BBB) · complaint-summary: Customer Service Issues complaint from a rental-property customer of about 6 years who says most of a paid 25-gallon yard/ant spray was applied to sidewalks and driveway rather than the lawn. Status: Unanswered by the company.
- [COMPLAINT RECORD, a count or summary of complaints, not findings; not counted in the legal score; cited as evidence for complaint record] January 13, 2025 · Nebraska (BBB) · complaint-summary: Product Issues complaint: customer says that on 12/3/24 he bought 5 boxes believing they were exterior mouse traps and later learned they were poison bait “rodent stations” (the company’s emailed notes say the stations were purchased 10/03/24); he says this was not communicated at purchase, and wants a refund. The General Manager replied (February 24, 2025) that the process was explained, that kill traps do not hold up outdoors, and that the company would not refund equipment he voluntarily purchased. Answered; not resolved to the customer’s request. This concerns what product was sold, not term, price or cancellation.
- [PENDING, allegations only (not findings); not counted in the score; cited as evidence for complaint record, sales and contract fairness] August 13, 2024 · Nebraska (BBB) · complaint-summary: Order Issues complaint: customer says a one-year contract signed August 10, 2023 auto-renewed and he was billed $85.80 for an extra visit; he says he told the salesperson he wanted one year only and got no renewal notice. The General Manager replied the same day that the contract was signed and prepaid for 6 services, that the original contract “does not appear to have a cancel date notated”, that “Line #24” of the contract states the ongoing process after the initial contract, that reminder email/text were sent, and declined to remove the charge.

What keeps it from rating higher:

- Verifier rated the licensing medium (high earns a point).
- Verifier rated the legal and regulatory record medium (high earns a point).

Verifier’s confidence by section: Identity high; Licensing medium; Legal and regulatory medium; Customer reviews medium; BBB high; Employee reviews low; Mentions low; Sales model low.

### Gaps in the record

- Google Maps was not opened (terms forbid automated access), so these are not checked against the live listings; identity is checked against the third-party records (domain abctermite-pest.com, claimed, company phones) and the company site/Angi addresses. No Google excerpts recorded.
- Other “ABC Termite & Pest Control” companies seen in search (abcnobugs.com in Utah, Escondido California, Halls Tennessee, Akron Ohio, Newton Kansas) and ABC Pest Control, Inc. (Clive, Iowa) and ABC Home & Commercial Services (Texas) were NOT attributed.
- Nebraska Secretary of State business search not looked up (reCAPTCHA checkbox); entity split (Inc. per BBB/Iowa SOS vs LLC per Angi) unconfirmed.
- Nebraska licenses individuals only; only the two BBB-listed principals (Nick and Cody Helzer) were looked up. Field technicians and the termite/WDO applicators were not identified; NDA shows no employer. No NDA enforcement list exists; a records request was not made.
- Contract terms: none published (minimum term, cancellation method/fee, renewal and arbitration all undisclosed on the site; no FAQ covers them). The signed contract itself was not seen.
- Yelp (Lincoln listing), Facebook, Nextdoor, Indeed, Glassdoor, RepVue and Reddit not opened (terms forbid automated access or human-verification check wall; Reddit returned “Prove your humanity”). Yelp rating/count therefore unknown and not scored. Indeed rating (2.5, Lincoln; “2 reviews” snippet) is search-snippet only and not scored.
- HomeAdvisor, Thumbtack, Trustpilot, Porch and Birdeye: no ABC (Nebraska) profile found in searches (no profile opened). TopRatedLocal profile (4.69, 2019) is a company-solicited aggregator and was excluded.
- Courts: Nebraska JUSTICE is paid ($17/search); CourtListener returned a human-verification check wall; OSHA establishment search returned a human-verification wall (HTTP 405). No court or OSHA record was checked. State AG: Nebraska AG complaint data is not public by company; searches for “attorney general / settlement / lawsuit / consent order / class action” returned nothing naming the company.
- Angi: only the first page (25 of 89 reviews, 2016-2022) was read; no recent Angi reviews (2023+). The BBB profile’s redacted complaint text was read in full, but BBB removes names (“REMOVED”).
- Iowa Secretary of State shows the Iowa foreign registration of ABC TERMITE & PEST CONTROL, INC. as Inactive without a date or reason; Omaha IDALS license 06569-001 is attributed by name and city only.
- Omaha Magazine eight-year Best of Omaha claim not verified on the issuer’s site: the two Issuu results issues (2017, 2018) show only a cookie wall and reader frame, so the earlier search-snippet mentions were removed.
- Some site fetches failed with ERR_SOCKET_NOT_CONNECTED on first try and were retried.
- Google Maps was not opened. Counts are third-party crawl values dated September 12, 2026.
- Iowa license 06569-001 is matched by name and Omaha city only (the IDALS row shows no address), IDALS 05109-000 expired December 31, 2006, and the Iowa foreign registration is Inactive with no date or reason; none is scored.

### Open questions

- Whether Angi’s “ABC Termite & Pest Control LLC” (Gretna) is a separate legal entity from the Inc. holding the BBB file; Nebraska SOS search is behind a reCAPTCHA. Attribution rests on the Gretna address shared with the Google listing, the Omaha-office email domain and “35 years”.
- Courts (Nebraska JUSTICE is paid; CourtListener and OSHA were blocked) were not searched, so the legal record is BBB complaints only.
- Field applicators were not looked up; NDA shows no employer, so only the two BBB-listed principals are tied to the company.
