## Contracts and sales practices

- Door-to-door badge: Yes.

The company also sells online and by phone (FAQ: “submitting a request on our website, calling your local branch, or reaching out by email”); the Coalesce release calls it a “multi-channel customer acquisition engine”.
- Company FAQ: cancellation fees, if any, depend on the customer’s service agreement; no fee amount is published.
- Company FAQ: whether a contract is required varies by location; no term length is published.
- Company FAQ: customers can cancel by phone, email or a website request to the local branch.
- Company FAQ: billing is set up on a recurring basis that aligns with the service plan; the FAQ recommends quarterly service for most homes.
- Company FAQ: free re-service between scheduled visits.
- Little Rock BBB reviewer (1 star, 11/10/2025) says she asked before signing whether she would be in a contract, was told she would not be, and later received a letter requiring her to pay out the contract. (counted in the score)
- Website terms cover the website and SMS/email programs only; pest control services are governed by separate service agreements, which are not published. The web terms choose North Carolina law and courts and contain no arbitration clause.

## Licensing and registrations

- Status and expiry are as the issuing agency’s record showed them on the date retrieved.
- Texas · Texas Department of Agriculture · Commercial business license · no. 0882194 · status: Active (listed in TDA’s current-licenses report, file dated 26 Oct 2026) · expires 04/30/2027 · note: Only ClearDefense/Clear Defense row in the Commercial Business report (searched LEGAL_BUSINESS_NAME and DBA for “CLEARDEF” and “CLEAR DEFEN”). Operator “JAMES SEAY” matches the Executive VP “Bo Seay” on the About page and the LDAF permit contact. No license is listed for an Amarillo office. TDA’s Structural Pest Control Enforcement Report (file dated 27 Oct 2026; research/states/TX/data/tx-spcs-enforcement-2026-10-27.csv) has no row for TPCL 0882194 or any ClearDefense/Clear Defense name. Categories: P
- Louisiana · Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry · Place of Business Permit · no. 001ZM8 · status: Active (LDAF POB list revised April 20, 2026) · expires 6/30/2026 (per the April 2026 list); BBB records the license with expiry 6/30/2027 · note: The only LDAF permit list online is the April 20, 2026 PDF; the 2026–27 renewal could not be read from LDAF itself (live data is in the LDAF Business App only). BBB’s licensing note shows the same permit number with a 6/30/2027 expiry, which indicates renewal (secondary source). Permit address is 4147 W E Heck Court (the branch’s earlier address; BBB lists both addresses).
- Missouri · Missouri Department of Agriculture · Pesticide Business (MOPlants USAPlants Idaho) · no. 0032Y6 · status: Active · note: Missouri licenses individual applicators only; this MOPlants business-location record is shown for completeness. Business Name search “*Clear*Defense*” returned this single record. Its address (9678 Marion Ridge, Kansas City 64137) differs from the current office (104 W 9th St); entity match is by name and city only. Individual applicators were not searched (MOPlants cannot search applicators by employer).
- Arkansas · Arkansas Department of Agriculture · License Holder (business) license · status: Not verified (no online lookup; the Department verifies licenses by email only) · note: The Pest Control Program has no public lookup and agents do not send verification emails. The Pesticide Section’s License Search & Verification (Act 389 licenses, search.statesolutions.us) returned no rows for Business Name “ClearDefense” or “Clear Defense” on October 27, 2026 (captures ); that database does not hold structural pest control License Holders, so the empty result is not evidence of an unlicensed branch. Arkansas State Plant Board minutes from Dec 2023 to Apr 2026 were text-searched: ClearDefense appears only in a June 2024 exam-score roster (“ClearDefense PC”), with no enforcement item.
- Texas · Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (franchise tax account status; Texas SOS registration) · Business entity registration (Texas LLC) · no. SOS file 0804415613; taxpayer 32082997274 · status: Right to Transact Business: ACTIVE; SOS registration ACTIVE (effective 02/02/2022)
- Louisiana · Louisiana Secretary of State (Commercial Division) · Business entity registration (Louisiana LLC) · no. Charter 44293967K · status: Active; Annual Report Status In Good Standing; registered 2/23/2021; last report filed 1/29/2026
- Arkansas · Arkansas Secretary of State (Corporations) · Business entity registration (Arkansas LLC) · no. Filing # 811353243 · status: Good Standing; filed 02/02/2022
- Missouri · Missouri Secretary of State (Business Services) · Business entity registration (Missouri LLC) · no. Charter LC001571498 · status: Active; created 1/11/2018 · note: Search results row (Business Name includes “ClearDefense”; same single row for “Clear Defense”). Detail pages sit behind a Cloudflare check and were not opened.

### Gaps in the record

- Scope: the company’s own office list has four offices in the 24 covered states (Austin Texas, Kansas City Missouri, Baton Rouge Louisiana, Little Rock Arkansas); all other offices are in Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Ohio, Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky and Florida. Kansas customers (Johnson County) are served from the Kansas City, Missouri office; with no Kansas office or listing, Kansas licensing (KDA) was not looked up.
- Amarillo, Texas Google listing could not be confirmed as ClearDefense: no Amarillo office on the company site, no TDA license there, and the live listing has no website and a phone number not on the company site.
- National Google review total not collected (third-party listings cover the 24 covered states only). BBB complaint data here comes from four West branch profiles only, so this does not limit complaint record.
- Google Maps showed only five “most relevant” reviews per listing to a signed-out browser; sorting by lowest rating needs sign-in, so excerpts are not a balanced sample.
- Contract terms are not published: the FAQ says contract requirements and cancellation fees depend on the service agreement and vary by location. No service agreement, minimum term, fee amount, renewal or arbitration clause could be found. The website terms cover only the website and messaging.
- Yelp (403 on the Austin and Little Rock pages), Glassdoor (403 “Humans only”), Reddit (human-verification check), LinkedIn and Justia (403) blocked the automated browser; items from them rest on search snippets only. No Angi, HomeAdvisor or Trustpilot profile for the West branches was found in searches; Nextdoor pages exist for the Austin, Kansas City and Baton Rouge branches but show no rating publicly in snippets. Birdeye and Trustindex feeds were not used (excluded aggregators).
- Arkansas: Pest Control Program License Holder status not publicly searchable online; verification by email request only (Dept fact sheet, 1/16/2026). Not looked up.
- Louisiana: the LDAF POB list online is dated April 20, 2026 (permit 001ZM8 Active, expiry 6/30/2026). Renewal for 2026–27 rests on BBB’s licensing note (expiry 6/30/2027), not an LDAF record. LDAF Structural Pest Control Commission minutes are scanned PDFs and were not searched for ClearDefense.
- Missouri: the MOPlants business record (0032Y6) carries an older Kansas City address (9678 Marion Ridge); the match rests on name and city. MDA publishes no enforcement list; Missouri SOS detail pages are behind a Cloudflare check (search row cited instead).
- Texas: no TDA license found for an Amarillo office; Texas SOS records were read through the free Comptroller franchise-tax search (SOSDirect is paid).
- AG and regulatory: no state AG action, FTC action or agency enforcement involving ClearDefense was found in searches (company name + lawsuit/settlement/attorney general/class action) or in the TDA enforcement report and Arkansas Plant Board minutes (Dec 2023–Apr 2026). No state publishes per-company AG complaint data for Texas, Missouri, Louisiana or Arkansas. OSHA establishment search shows a human-verification wall and was not run. State court records (re:SearchTX, Case.net, Search ARCourts, parish clerks) were not searched.
- Trademark suit: final disposition not verified.
- The 2 extra were targeted door-to-door checks by city.
- Reddit (human-verification check), Glassdoor (403), Yelp (403) and LinkedIn still block the automated browser.

### Open questions

- Could be a new ClearDefense market or an unrelated listing.
- Thumbtack Austin excluded from customer satisfaction as an external, unverified review feed.
- LA permit 001ZM8 renewal to 6/30/2027 rests on BBB’s licensing note; LDAF’s online POB list is dated April 2026.
- Trademark suit No. 1:17-cv-01139 final disposition not verified.
