Door-to-door sales: N/A

N/A: the research didn’t establish door-to-door selling. It isn’t proof that the company never knocks.

No door-to-door evidence either way was found. The careers page lists commercial account manager and commercial sales manager roles and none for residential door-to-door reps; no solicitor-permit action, news item or customer report of reps at the door was found. Search-snippet hits on door-to-door pest sales named other companies. Recorded as unknown.

  “GPC Quarterly Service ... a trip charge of $75 will be applied”

  “Our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee ... please call us and we will have a licensed technician identify and treat at no additional cost”

Status and expiry dates are shown exactly as the issuing agency’s record showed them on the date retrieved.

Only resolved government actions count toward the score. Pending lawsuits, allegations and private matters are listed here but marked “N/A” (not counted in the score). Summaries are our researchers’ wording of the source; allegations are allegations, not findings.

• November 2, 2026 · California · Complaint summaryN/A

  No county agricultural-commissioner civil penalty found for the company in the CA DPR file of county administrative civil penalties (incidents September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026). Searched by company name, legacy name “Roseville Termite”, “Advanced IPM”, “AIPM”, the owner surname Romani, and license numbers 1865, 5535, 5444, 5908, 5913, 5923: 0 rows each.⁴¹

• November 2, 2026 · California · Complaint summaryN/A

  California Structural Pest Control Board disciplinary documents: no accusation or decision PDF was found under the predictable file names for PR 1865 (pr_1865_acc, pr-1865_acc, pr_1865_aacc, pr-1865_aacc, pr_1865_do, pr-1865_do) or BR 5345 (acc, aacc, do), and PR 182 (pr-182_acc, pr-182_do) on pestboard.ca.gov; known PDFs on that host do load. A miss is not proof, because the DCA detail pages that link disciplinary documents are blocked to automation.⁴²

  California Attorney General press-release search for the company name returned no listed press release.⁴³

• November 2, 2026 · Nevada · Complaint summaryN/A

  Nevada Department of Agriculture does not publish pest-control enforcement or disciplinary actions online, and the Attorney General publishes no per-company complaint data; neither could be checked.⁴⁴

  Advanced IPM Promotes Romani, Peck, Howell

  Trade-press item (published June 3, 2026) on leadership promotions: Deborah Romani to president, Brock Peck to VP of operations, Chance Howell to director of field operations. Quotes Brian Romani as CEO. The article says Advanced IPM “said ownership remains focused on long-term growth, acquisitions and financial stewardship” and names no new owner or parent.

  “"As pest control companies grow, the challenge becomes less about opportunity and more about execution," said Brian Romani, CEO of Advanced IPM.”

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

How confidence is set

Gaps in the record

• Google Maps was not opened (its terms bar automated access). No Google review excerpts were collected.
• Ownership: a note given to this task said Advanced IPM had been reported as acquired. No source for that was found. The company’s own pages (2026) call it second-generation family owned, BBB lists Brian C. Romani as President/CEO, and a June 2026 PCT article quotes him as CEO and names Deborah Romani president. Recorded as independent with no parent; the reported acquisition remains unconfirmed.
• California licensing is read from the SPCB bulk file (DCA snapshot October 1, 2026), not the DCA detail pages (blocked by Cloudflare Turnstile). The file omits canceled registrations, has no discipline or insurance/bond fields, and its expiry dates (2035/2099) are placeholders. Company Registration PR 1865 and legacy PR 182 are both Active; 13 branch rows were found. No branch row was found for Yuba City (1510 Poole Blvd) or Orange (1938 N Batavia St); not treated as a finding.
• California business registry: bizfile is blocked to automation and OpenCorporates served a browser check, so the California entity record (number, status) was not read. Nevada ORION shows the foreign corporation Active (NV20101149905).
• California SPCB disciplinary documents: only predictable file names (pr_1865_/pr-1865_ acc, aacc, do; BR 5345) were probed; all returned 404. DCA detail pages that link them could not be opened.
• Nevada: NDA publishes only the Licensed Operators PDF (no status, insurance or enforcement fields). Company license 5628 is listed with 15 licensed individuals; Brian C. Romani appears as Principal (C4). The Primary Principal row could not be isolated in the scrambled text extraction. Northern Nevada Pest Control (7344, bought by Advanced IPM in 2016 per its own history) still appears as a separate NDA company license with 10 individuals; its current ownership or operation was not verified. NDA enforcement is not published online.
• BBB: headquarters file (Roseville, accredited 5/30/2025) and five branch files (Concord, Cotati, Merced, San Jose, Sparks) were read; all show A+, 0 complaints, 0 reviews. BBB lists the old license number 182 for the company; that is the legacy registration, which is Active.
• No Google, Yelp, Angi, HomeAdvisor, Trustpilot, Thumbtack, Facebook or Nextdoor review was read: Google Maps, Yelp and Facebook bar automated access, and the search results for Angi, Trustpilot, Thumbtack and Nextdoor were generic. Yelp listings for Concord and San Jose exist (snippets only, no rating or count visible). A search result titled as a long-time customer discontinuing service after a frustrating recent experience could not be traced to a platform (redirect URL), so it is not used.
• Employee reviews: Indeed and Glassdoor bar automated access. Snippets suggest an Indeed rating of 3.7 from 18 reviews and a Glassdoor compensation sub-rating of 4.1; platform and entity were not confirmed and nothing is scored.
• Courts: CourtListener search returned HTTP 405 (blocked) and the California Superior Court portals are per-county; no court search was completed. California AG press-release search listed nothing; the CA county civil-penalty file has no rows for the company. Cal/OSHA/OSHA establishment search was not available (human check), so workplace-safety records were not checked. No Nevada AG, Nevada OSHA or FTC data was found.
• Sales model: no door-to-door evidence either way. The careers page lists commercial sales and account-manager roles, not residential door-to-door reps. No city solicitor-permit records were checked.
• The residential terms state a one-year term, automatic continuation and written cancellation with 30-day notice but no early-cancellation fee and no arbitration, class-waiver, venue or fee-shifting text; the commercial terms state a 50% of remaining contract value fee within the first 12 months and also have no dispute clause. The pages say “By signing below... the terms as stated herein” (specialty) and refer to a “work-authorization contract” (termite), so a signed form exists; nothing cites other terms in it, so the published terms are read as the contract.
• Home page: advancedipm.com refused connections (net::ERR_SOCKET_NOT_CONNECTED) but https://www.advancedipm.com/ loaded on November 2, 2026. It shows no license or registration number; only branch list, phone and PCT Top 100 text. Nothing advertised, so nothing to check against SPCB. The FAQ answers are collapsed in the capture.
• Company-site pages for the Reno and Las Vegas branches (/locations/reno-nv/, /locations/las-vegas-nv/) timed out; branch addresses come from the /locations/ list page.
• Awards: PCT Top 100 (since 2011) is a company claim not verifiable on the PCT site (empty captures); Style Magazine Readers’ Choice appeared only in search snippets and is not recorded.
• Search-snippet-only items: the two Yelp listings (Concord, San Jose) carry no rating and no excerpt after verification; the Indeed/Glassdoor snippets are context only.
• Licensing/registry for states outside California and Nevada: none needed (no location elsewhere).

Open questions

• Yuba City (1510 Poole Blvd) and Orange (1938 N Batavia St) have no SPCB branch row in the October 1, 2026 snapshot; DCA detail search is blocked, so unverified.
• Nevada 7344 Northern Nevada Pest Control remains a separate NDA company license; its current operation was not verified.
• Whether the signed residential agreement has terms beyond the published page is unknown.
