Oregon (3:24-cv-00887) · lawsuit: EcoShield Pest Solutions Portland, LLC sued rival D2D sales firm Grit Marketing and two individuals, alleging they followed and interfered with EcoShield reps in the Portland market, paid customers’ cancellation fees to switch them, and harassed/assaulted EcoShield reps. TRO granted in part (June 5, 2024); a stipulated preliminary injunction (June 12, 2024) kept Grit 50 feet from anyone in EcoShield clothing until the case ended. March 2025: tortious-interference claim survived; Sherman Act and Oregon monopolization claims dismissed with leave to amend, Oregon price-discrimination claims without leave.

### Gaps in the record

- Google Maps served a “limited view” to the headless browser on most attempts (shared Google throttling across parallel agents), so review sorting (newest/lowest) failed; Google excerpts are only the overview reviews shown, where any loaded. Ratings/counts are from cached Maps result lists.
- Yelp (Tukwila and Lakewood biz pages) returned 403; no Yelp rating recorded.
- Glassdoor reviews page blocked by a bot challenge; only rating/count from Glassdoor search results.
- ODA individual applicator licenses for EcoShield Portland technicians were not enumerated (company operator license only).
- Washington CCFS (Secretary of State) did not load; Washington entity status taken from the OpenCorporates mirror and Washington L&I data.
- No Idaho presence found (company office list has no Idaho office); ISDA not checked.
- Washington AG, Oregon DOJ and FTC site searches returned no visible EcoShield results (pages are JS-rendered); October 12, 2026 web searches also surfaced no Washington and Oregon AG or FTC action (only the Michigan AVC). Not proof of absence.
- Lamonica docket orders on the motions to dismiss (12/30/2025, 6/15/2026) are not on RECAP; their outcomes are unknown. Dykstra I final disposition and the claims in Dykstra II are not visible.
- QualityPro / GreenPro / NPMA membership not verified (no issuer directory search done).
- Facebook review text requires login; only % recommend recorded. No Facebook page found for the Portland branch (facebook.com/ecoshieldportland unavailable).
- Verifier (October 11, 2026): Lamonica (D. Ariz.) - a further amended complaint (6/9/2026) and renewed motion to dismiss (6/23/2026) are on the docket but not on RECAP; quotes come from the 10/14/2025 second amended complaint. Dykstra I state-court outcome after the 9/10/2024 remand was not checked.
- Reddit: searched directly on October 12, 2026 through the SociaVault Reddit search API (query: “EcoShield” pest): 7 posts returned, 7 about this company, none tied to the Pacific Northwest. The threads are listed in the On Reddit section. Only post titles and opening text were read; comment threads weren’t fetched yet. Two earlier web searches (Seattle/Portland and pest/door-to-door subreddits) returned no Reddit threads; the direct search found EcoShield threads, but none tied to the PNW.
- No PNW local news found by an October 12, 2026 web search (Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, Oregon, 2024-2026); outlet sites (Seattle Times, KING 5, KOMO, KGW, Oregonian) not searched directly.
- Still needs web search: HomeAdvisor, Thumbtack, Porch and Birdeye profiles; YouTube/podcasts; “best pest control” listicles; RepVue/Comparably.
- Lamonica (D. Ariz.): an October 12, 2026 web search found no reported ruling on the motions to dismiss; outcomes still need PACER.

### Open questions

- Lamonica (D. Ariz.): outcomes of the 12/30/2025 and 6/15/2026 motion-to-dismiss orders and of the renewed motion filed 6/23/2026 are not on RECAP; the 6/9/2026 amended complaint may change the class definition quoted here (from the 10/14/2025 complaint).
- Dykstra I (King County 23-2-24015-4, remanded 9/10/2024) and Dykstra II (24-2-05701-3 KNT, remanded 12/3/2025): state-court outcomes not checked.
- Oregon CCB: an earlier same-day search returned 0 records; the live search now shows CCB ID 262319 “Never Been Licensed - CCB ID Only”. Whether the Oregon branch sells insulation/crawl-space work that needs a CCB license is unknown.
- WSDA: the Portland LLC’s Washington commercial applicator insurance shows an expiry of 10/14/2026 and the Seattle LLC sites 10/31/2026; re-check license status after those dates.
- Nextdoor Tukwila page is unclaimed and lists 617 Industry Dr and a personal email (phone 206-686-9960 and website match EcoShield); treat it as a community-made page.
- Unresolved entity links already flagged by research: Handshake employer page (San Marcos, California) and the 2015-2016 Massey purchases of “EcoShield Pest Control” Texas/Atlanta/OKC locations.

### Notes on identity

- One brand across PNW: Tukwila, Lakewood and Burlington Washington plus Tigard Oregon (all Maps listings, WSDA records and BBB profiles tie to ecoshieldpest.com / theshieldco.com emails). Operating LLCs: EcoShield Pest Solutions Seattle, LLC and EcoShield Pest Solutions Portland, LLC, both Arizona LLCs managed by The Shield Co Management, LLC (Gilbert, Arizona). BBB uses older names (EcoShield Pest Control Seattle, LLC) for some profiles. The 2015-2016 Massey acquisitions of “EcoShield Pest Control” Texas/Atlanta/OKC locations may involve the same brand founders, unconfirmed. Trustpilot’s unclaimed “Eco Shield Pest Control” profile is national.
