## Contracts and sales practices

- Door-to-door badge: N/A.
- Sales notes: No door-to-door evidence found: searches for door-to-door sales, reps knocking, and summer sales jobs (search ids corkys-pest-control-d2d, -knocked, -door2, -jobs) returned nothing tied to Corky’s, and no reviewer read describes a rep at the door. The site sells by phone and web form (‘Call’, free inspection), the leadership list has an Inside Sales Manager, and a BBB reviewer signed ‘over the phone’. The careers page now redirects to the contact page. Not enough to say ‘no’ with certainty, so ‘unknown’.
- Published Services Agreement (incorporated into the signed Order Form): the agreement runs for an Initial Term of 1 year unless the Order Form’s front page states another expiration date. (counted in the score)
- Auto-renewal: at the end of the Initial Term and each Renewal Term the agreement renews automatically for one-year terms; a party that does not want to renew must give notice at least three months before the end of the current Contract Period. (counted in the score)
- Termination fee schedule: $199 if termination occurs within six months of the Effective Date; $99 if it occurs in months 7–12. (counted in the score)
- Price increases: the company may raise service fees at each Renewal Term.
- Disputes: the published Services Agreement has a California governing-law clause and contains no arbitration or class-action-waiver clause; the separate signed Order Form is not published. Claims must be notified in writing within three months; liability capped at six months of fees.
- Company BBB reply (August 11, 2025, Todd H. review): the customer signed a one-year contract and the cancellation fee was not waived. (counted in the score)
- First-hand BBB review (Dan H., September 23, 2026): signed electronically over the phone, canceled by email within three hours, was asked for $199 to cancel; the company replied it waived the fee and closed the account. (counted in the score)
- Billing model (company BBB replies): monthly billing for service visits every 6 weeks or quarterly.
- Guarantee (company statement): free retreatment if covered pests return to the treated area.

## Legal and regulatory record

- Only resolved government actions count toward the score. Summaries are our researchers’ wording of the source.
- [Not counted in the legal score; cited as evidence for licensing and compliance] December 8, 2025 · San Diego County Agricultural Commissioner (California) · enforcement: County agricultural commissioner administrative civil penalty, San Diego County, NOPA EA-37-2026-028 (agricultural civil penalty, ACP) against “CORKY’S PEST CONTROL, INC.”; license type PCB (DPR Pest Control Business branch), license number recorded as “Unlicensed”; code sections FAC 11701 ($250) and 3CCR 6738 ($250); incident date December 8, 2025; final fines total $500. FAC 11701 makes it unlawful to operate as a pest control business without a valid DPR pest control business license. A fine under $5,000 with no settlement, consent order or judgment.
- [Not counted in the legal score; cited as evidence for licensing and compliance] December 8, 2025 · San Diego County Agricultural Commissioner (California) · enforcement: County agricultural commissioner administrative civil penalty, San Diego County, NOPA EA-37-2026-029 (ACP) against “CORKY’S PEST CONTROL, INC.”; license type PCB (DPR Pest Control Business branch), recorded as “Unlicensed”; code section FAC 11701; incident date December 8, 2025; final fine $250. A separate NOPA (case) from EA-37-2026-028.
- [Not counted in the legal score] August 3, 2009 · Structural Pest Control Board (California), via the Attorney General · enforcement: An SPCB case document for field representative license FR 18880 (an individual) refers to Corky’s Pest Control, Inc. as a company involved in the facts. Individual license matter from 2009; the PDF is a scanned image whose text could not be read, so the outcome is unknown. Context only; not a company action and outside every scoring window.
- [COMPLAINT RECORD, a count or summary of complaints, not findings; not counted in the legal score] October 28, 2026 · BBB Mountain West & Pacific Southwest (San Marcos, California file) · complaint-summary: BBB file for Corky’s Pest Control Inc (San Marcos HQ; the company operates only in Southern California): 29 complaints in the last 3 years, 4 in the last 12 months; A+ rating; accredited since 10/1/1988. All 9 complaints shown have a business response.
- [COMPLAINT RECORD, a count or summary of complaints, not findings; not counted in the legal score] October 28, 2026 · searches (AG, FTC, courts, wage-and-hour) · complaint-summary: No state AG, district attorney, FTC, court, class-action or wage-and-hour matter naming Corky’s Pest Control was found.

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

### Gaps in the record

- Yelp (San Marcos ~609 reviews, Los Angeles 58): Yelp’s terms forbid automated access, so only search-snippet counts are recorded; no rating; not scored.
- Indeed reviews page blocked by Cloudflare (403); rating 3.4 from 16 reviews is snippet-only and not scored. A second Indeed profile (CORKY’S PEST CONTROL, INC) was not read.
- Glassdoor blocked (‘Humans only’, 403); only a snippet compensation sub-rating (1.8/5). No RepVue or Comparably profile found. Workplace not scorable.
- Facebook (corkyspestinc), Nextdoor and Trustpilot not fetched (terms restrict automated collection / no Trustpilot profile found in search). Facebook recommendation % unknown.
- DCA License Search blocked (Cloudflare Turnstile); SPCB data comes from the October 1, 2026 bulk file, which has no insurance, bond, qualifying-operator or discipline fields. Branch registrations BR 5789/5809/5813/5814/5818/5823 all carry the HQ address, so which field office each covers is not shown.
- SPCB disciplinary PDFs: none found under pr_1382 names (404); fr-18880_his.pdf (2009, individual) is a scanned image whose text could not be read; recorded from the search snippet only.
- The list shows only a current issued-or-renewed date, so the history of the San Diego branch license (PCB 47475, 3/11/2026) before December 2025 is not shown.
- County penalty identity rests on exact legal name and county (no license number or address in the DPR file for these rows).
- California SOS bizfile Online is blocked; registry data from the OpenCorporates mirror (incorporation date hidden behind login).
- CourtListener refused automated search (HTTP 405); court coverage relies on web searches, which found nothing.
- PMP (mypmp.net) acquisition article blocked (403); the PCT article covers the same facts.
- CBS8 2018 ant-season story blocked (Access Denied); not used.
- San Diego Union-Tribune ‘best pest control’ award (2014) appears only on a LinkedIn profile snippet; not verified with the issuer, not recorded as an award.
- Door-to-door: no evidence either way beyond phone/web sales; recorded as unknown.
- Google review excerpts were not expanded (Maps reviews tab not read); positive excerpts come from the company’s Google-review widget instead and are labeled as such.
- Anticimex’s own ownership (investors) not researched.
- No Pro Pacific Pest Control SPCB registration appears in the October 1, 2026 licensee file (canceled registrations are omitted, so this proves nothing).

### Open questions

- Overall 6.8 vs 6.9 in memory.
- San Marcos Google listing is at the SPCB PR 1382 address but not on the company’s office list: kept.
- Ownership parent is recorded as “Anticimex (Sweden)”; the Anticimex siblings (Official Pest Prevention, Eastside, Northwest) also name EQT as Anticimex’s owner. Same type (subsidiary); the parent text could be harmonized at consolidation.
