- Arizona Department of Agriculture, Office of Pest Management citation and order, case 101207, against Bucksworth Services, LLC (business license 9613). OPM inspections from January 2025 found the company had not filed Termite Action Report Forms (TARFs) for new-construction termite treatments; records later obtained from its software provider listed 1,627 pretreatments, new-construction and final-grade treatments (March 2024 to January 2025) with none filed. The owner said he had hired an employee for the filings and had software problems. A Corrective Work Order (10/06/2025, due 11/03/2025) was not complied with: by 01/06/2026 only 162 had been submitted. Violations: (1) failing to submit 1,627 TARFs within 30 days (A.R.S. 3-3631(A), A.A.C. R3-9-501(D)(3)(c)); (2) failing to comply with a Corrective Work Order (A.R.S. 3-3624(B)(1)). Order: file all overdue TARFs within 30 days; 6-month probation (03/01/2026 to 08/31/2026) with weekly address reporting and two TARF audits for Violation 1; $300 civil penalty for Violation 2. Failure to comply would suspend the business license. The order became final if no hearing was requested within 30 days; the complaint search lists it as adjudicated 02/09/2026.
