Profile scope: Single company file (owner Karl T. Durst) at an older Murrieta address; the only BBB file for this company. Every location is in California, so it covers the whole company. The other “Bulls Eye pest control” file returned by the BBB search (Mira Loma; principal Greg De Philippis; alternate name Mira Loma Pest Control) is a different business. The complaint count comes from the profile’s structured data (JSON-LD “BBB Complaints Filed in Last 3 Years”: 0), captured with the page JSON-LD appended. The /complaints sub-page returned a 403 human-verification check on October 28, 2026 and was not retried further.

BBB profiles

• Main profile · A+View

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 found. The company describes sign-up by phone or online (“Call us or sign up online”, home page) and runs paid-search/social landing pages and a customer referral program. Two targeted searches (door-to-door / summer sales / sales rep; “knocked” / “came to my door” / “salesman”) returned nothing about this company; no summer-sales recruiting page or D2D job post was found, and no review read (Google, Angi) describes a rep at the door. Reported as not found, not as “no”.

• Verifier rated the customer reviews medium (high earns a point).
• Verifier rated the legal and regulatory record medium (high earns a point).
• 17 independent websites cited (25 or more earns a point).

How confidence is set

Gaps in the record

• All four were checked live on October 28, 2026.
• Several office addresses look like suites in shared office buildings (e.g. Rancho Cucamonga “Ste 100H”, Vista “Ste 354”); whether staff work from each was not verified.
• CA SPCB: no Branch Office (BR) registration rows were found in the October 1, 2026 DCA file for the Corona, Vista, San Diego or Rancho Cucamonga offices (searched by name and street address). Not a confirmed problem (canceled/other-name rows are not in the file; the offices may be sales/service-area offices); not deducted.
• DPR lists no branch (PCB) license for the other four offices (not a confirmed problem; not deducted).
• CA county civil penalties: 0 rows. Texas/other-state lookups not applicable (all locations in California).
• SPCB disciplinary PDFs: predictable file names for PR 6018 and the owner’s Operator license (pr_6018_acc/aacc, opr_10526_acc) returned 404 (a miss proves nothing; the DCA detail page with documents is behind Turnstile).
• California Secretary of State bizfile is blocked and OpenCorporates served a human-verification check on October 28, 2026 (not retried); registry status is from bizprofile.net’s republication of SOS data as of March 25, 2026.
• California Attorney General press-release search (body_value “Bull’s Eye Pest”) listed no releases. No AG, DA, FTC or SPCB action found; CourtListener search served a human-verification page and its API needs credentials (not looked up). No statewide CA trial-court search exists. Cal/OSHA establishment search not run (the results page serves a human check).
• BBB /complaints sub-page returned a 403 human-verification check; the 3-year complaint count (0) is from the profile page’s structured data instead.
• Google review excerpts are positive only: Google’s limited view offered no sort control, so lowest-rated reviews could not be reached. Negative excerpts come from Angi (2 of 104 reviews read as critical).
• Yelp (Murrieta 4.5/182 seen in search snippets; San Diego and Rancho Cucamonga pages exist), Facebook, Instagram, Indeed and Glassdoor were not fetched: their terms forbid automated collection. Yelp figures are snippet-only context and not scored.
• Employee reviews: no Indeed, Glassdoor or RepVue page for this company was found in two searches (results were other “Bullseye”/“Bull’s Eye” businesses).
• HomeAdvisor, Thumbtack, Trustpilot: no profile for this company surfaced in searches (Angi/HomeAdvisor share reviews). Nextdoor pages exist (Murrieta, Corona, Rancho Cucamonga) but were read only via search snippets.
• Reddit and local news/trade press (PCT, PMP, Press-Enterprise, Patch): nothing about this company found in targeted searches.
• Entity resolution: many unrelated “Bull’s Eye”/“Bullseye” pest companies exist (Alabama, New York, Kentucky and Texas Montgomery/Bulls-Eye Pest & Termite, Idaho Burley/New Plymouth, Georgia and Michigan, DFW Bullseye Pest Management, and a “Bulls Eye pest control” in Mira Loma, California with its own BBB file under principal Greg De Philippis). None is cited as this company. A Moreno Valley Facebook group post by a “Michael” running “Bull’s Eye Pest Control ... based in corona & norco” (snippet only, not opened) could be this company’s Corona office or the Mira Loma business; not used.
• The founding year 2002 is company-stated; other records show incorporation January 23, 2003, BBB “Business Started 1/1/2009”, and the current SPCB company registration first issued March 17, 2010.
• The published Terms say a separate service agreement is provided to each customer; it is not published. Terms stated outright in the published Terms (one-year term, month-to-month continuation, cancel by phone or in writing, discount repayment, arbitration) are used as company statements.

Open questions

• The terms say early termination “may result in” repayment of the discount “as set out in your service agreement” (an unpublished separate agreement).
• The SOS status comes from bizprofile.net (data as of March 25, 2026) because bizfile is blocked; not confirmed live.
