- No published service agreement, terms of service, arbitration clause or cancellation procedure was found: the site map (page and post sitemaps) has no terms or agreement page, and the site shows no price list.

## Legal and regulatory record

- Only resolved government actions count toward the score. Summaries are our researchers’ wording of the source.
- [LAWSUIT OR ALLEGATION, claims are allegations unless the summary states an outcome; not counted in the legal score] April 1, 2015 · U.S. District Court, N.D. Texas (3:15-cv-01007) · lawsuit: Versacor Enterprises LLC v. Ecoguard Pest Control LLC, a trademark case filed 04/01/2015 and terminated 08/06/2015; no docket entries are in the RECAP archive. Filed in Texas; the defendant could not be tied to the Arizona LLC (Indeed separately shows reviews of an EcoGuard in Lewisville and Ennis, Texas, which is not this company). Not attributed to this company; not scored.
- [COMPLAINT RECORD, a count or summary of complaints, not findings; not counted in the legal score; cited as evidence for complaint record] October 27, 2026 · BBB Mountain West & Pacific Southwest (Mesa, Arizona file) · complaint-summary: BBB rating F, not accredited. 3 complaints in the last 3 years, 0 in the last 12 months; BBB gives “Failure to respond to 2 complaint(s)” as a reason for the rating.

No pattern-of-complaints alert shown.

- [COMPLAINT RECORD, a count or summary of complaints, not findings; not counted in the legal score] October 27, 2026 · Arizona Attorney General · complaint-summary: The Arizona Attorney General site search for “EcoGuard” returned no results.

## Mentions, awards and claims

### Mentions

- [Looking for a reputable pest control company in Mesa, Arizona](https://nextdoor.com/p/BrjNjZxbRD-r/) (Nextdoor (Mesa, Arizona) · 22 Aug (year not shown on the post; a reply's author is 'Verified in 2026', so the thread is from 2026) · forum): A Mesa neighbor asking for a monthly pest control company got a reply recommending EcoGuard, with its Mesa business card showing 164 Nextdoor recommendations.

## What we couldn’t verify

Overall confidence in this score: High, 7 of 11 points. [How confidence is set](https://handshakereviews.com/how-we-review#confidence).

Where it fell short of full marks:

- 6,247 western US Google reviews behind customer satisfaction (10,000 or more earns full points).
- Verifier rated the customer reviews medium (high earns a point).

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

### Gaps in the record

- Arizona Corporation Commission entity status not read (image CAPTCHA); OpenCorporates returned a browser check. Entity type (LLC, incorporated 3/11/2011) is from BBB and the license name, not the registry.
- Covered states: the company operates only in Arizona (Phoenix metro). EcoGuard listings in California, Oregon and Washington (EcoGuard Pest Management), Kansas (ecoguardkansas.com) and Missouri (myecoguard.com, Chicago-area company) belong to other companies.
- Peoria office is not a registered branch on the Arizona license record (“does NOT have any valid\current Branch Offices”); whether it must be registered was not determined, so no deduction.
- Yelp blocked (403): rating 4.6 with 163/165 reviews seen only in search snippets, recorded but not scored.
- No Angi, HomeAdvisor, Thumbtack or Trustpilot profile surfaced; not looked up further.
- Google Maps reviews: view shows only 5 reviews with truncated text and the sort menu did not open, so few negative reviews could be read; themes not derived. The 5.0 average on 6,000+ reviews was not investigated for review solicitation.
- Facebook recommendations other than the newest are behind login.
- Workplace: Indeed page pools several EcoGuard companies (Arizona, California and Texas); only 13 reviews, not used. Glassdoor shows 0 reviews; RepVue not found.
- OSHA establishment search (state-plan ADOSH) blocked by a human-verification page; workplace-safety record not checked.
- Maricopa County Superior Court and the statewide Arizona court search need verification words (CAPTCHA); only the Maricopa County Justice Courts business-name search was run.
- Arizona AG consumer complaints are confidential by law; only the AG site search was run.
- Contract terms: no published service agreement; auto-renewal, cancellation channel and arbitration are undisclosed. No consumer report of a cancellation fee was found (only 3 BBB complaints and a limited Google view were readable).
- Versacor Enterprises LLC v. Ecoguard Pest Control LLC (N.D. Tex. 2015, trademark) could not be tied to the Arizona LLC; PACER docket not purchased.
- Reddit: no thread naming this company found; comment threads not read.
- No local news or trade-press coverage of the company found.

### Open questions

- Arizona Corporation Commission entity status is still unread (image CAPTCHA); legal-entity type and standing rest on the BBB profile and the PMD license name.
- The Peoria office is not a registered branch on PMD license 8942 (‘does NOT have any valid\current Branch Offices!’); whether Arizona requires that office to hold a branch registration was not determined, so nothing is deducted.
- No service agreement is published, so auto-renewal, cancellation channel and arbitration remain unknown; the only cancellation evidence is the company’s ‘no binding contracts / cancel at any time’ statements and one unanswered BBB complaint (02/04/2025) saying technician visits and invoices continued after the customer asked the company to stop.
