## Contracts and sales practices

- Door-to-door badge: Partial.
- Sales notes: Rated partial on the Urban Desert / Green Mango standard: door-to-door is documented only as the founder’s own channel at the start (2015, per his 2017 interview). Current evidence points to inbound/inspection selling: free-inspection and quote forms on the site, a testimonial describing a phone salesman, Angi and Google reviews describing a salesman/inspector visit, and an ‘Inside Sales Representative’ title on Indeed’s salary pages (search snippet, green-machine-pest-control-34). No summer door-to-door program, D2D recruiting, solicitor permit or customer report of a rep at the door was found.
- Published residential plans and initial-service prices: Home Protection Plan (quarterly, free re-services, annual termite inspection) initial service $249; Home Protection Premium (adds rodent bait boxes and a full termite warranty) initial service $375; Scorpion Plus (bimonthly treatments, $100 paid warranty per re-service, annual termite inspection, 6 months free termite warranty) initial service $499. Recurring prices are not published.
- FAQ: recurring service is billed monthly (‘We chopped up the price and bill it monthly’); re-treatments between scheduled services and interior/garage treatment are free. No minimum term, renewal or cancellation rule is stated.
- Termite warranties are renewed annually (FAQ), and October 2026 specials offer termite plans with a 1-year and a 2-year termite warranty. Warranty terms (price, renewal method) are not published.
- The website’s Terms & Conditions cover use of the website only (acceptance by ‘accessing and using this website’); they contain no service-contract, renewal, cancellation or arbitration terms. No service agreement is published.
- Reviewers describe a written agreement or signed document at the sale: an Angi (Chandler) reviewer says the inspector explained ‘the terms of our aggreement’, and an Angi (Mesa) reviewer in a rodent-job refund dispute says the owner pointed to the paper he had signed. The company’s own BBB reply (a one-off commercial rodent job) says ‘all contracted work was completed’, meaning the work in its quote; the company’s own words cite no separate signed service agreement (no paragraph numbers or ‘your signed agreement’). No service agreement is published, so term, renewal, cancellation and dispute terms are unknown.
- Customer-described billing: a Google reviewer says she joined at an ‘$11’ anniversary price and is on ‘a low monthly payment subscription’.

## 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] August 7, 2024 · Arizona Department of Agriculture, Pest Management Division (Office of Pest Management) · enforcement: Citation and order, case 101135 (signed 08/01/2024, adjudicated 08/07/2024), against Green Machine Pest Control (business license 9370) and its qualifying party Cory Hodnett. Opened on a 09/22/2023 consumer complaint about a termite treatment. PMD found that the termite treatment proposal had been issued by a person who was neither a certified applicator nor registered as an employee of the company; inspectors found no evidence that the applicator applied Termidor HE contrary to the label, and noted the post-tension slab explained why drilling was not offered. Order: the business received an Administrative Warning (Violation 3) and a $100.00 civil penalty (Violation 1, unregistered applicator); the QP received an Administrative Warning (Violation 2) and a $400.00 civil penalty (Violation 4). Case total $500. Final if no hearing was requested within 30 days; no hearing is shown. The only adjudicated complaint for this license in the 5-year search.
- [COMPLAINT RECORD, a count or summary of complaints, not findings; not counted in the legal score] October 28, 2026 · BBB, Mountain West & Pacific Southwest · complaint-summary: 1 BBB complaint in the last 3 years, none in the last 12 months: a 12/04/2023 commercial rodent-exclusion complaint (Service or Repair Issues, Answered). The customer says rats re-entered through an unsealed opening after about $2,200 of work and asks for a refund; the company replies that the entry point was found only after boxes were moved, that the customer declined to pay to seal it, and that all contracted work was done. See bbb.
- [COMPLAINT RECORD, a count or summary of complaints, not findings; not counted in the legal score] October 28, 2026 · Arizona Attorney General · complaint-summary: azag.gov site search for “green machine” returned no results. AG consumer complaints are confidential, so this cannot show absence; no AG action was found by web search either.
- [COMPLAINT RECORD, a count or summary of complaints, not findings; not counted in the legal score] October 28, 2026 · Federal courts (CourtListener) · complaint-summary: CourtListener case-law and RECAP (federal dockets) searches for “Green Machine Pest” returned no results. Arizona state courts were not searched (verification-word CAPTCHA).

### Gaps in the record

- Arizona Corporation Commission registry not read (image CAPTCHA); legal entity Corash Industries LLC rests on BBB’s alternate name and an OpenCorporates search row. Arizona Secretary of State trade-name search not tried.
- Yelp blocked (403) for yelp.com/biz/green-machine-pest-control-mesa-4 (the page linked from the company site); no Yelp rating read. Older Yelp pages (Tempe, Chandler-2) seen only in search results.
- Trustpilot: no profile at trustpilot.com/review/greenmachinepest.com (page not found). No Thumbtack or Porch profile found. Nextdoor business page loaded but shows no rating.
- Indeed and Glassdoor blocked (Cloudflare/human-verification check). Indeed shows a 5.0 rating only in search snippets with an unclear count; no employee rating is scored, so Workplace has no usable inputs.
- Google Maps: logged-out limited view; the lowest-rating sort failed, so negative Google reviews were not sampled.
- Service agreement not published; the website Terms & Conditions cover website use only. Term, auto-renewal, cancellation channel/fee and arbitration are unknown.
- Arizona AG complaints are confidential; azag.gov site search does not prove absence. Arizona courts (Public Access) need verification words and OSHA establishment search shows a human check; neither was searched. EPA Region 9 FIFRA dockets not searched.
- Insurance/bond not shown on AZDA public pages.
- Reddit: searches returned no Reddit thread about this company.
- 36 searches used.
- Only Arizona: no office, listing or license was found in any of the other 23 covered states (third-party listing files show the brand in Arizona only).
- HomeAdvisor and Indeed refused live re-read (403).

### Open questions

- Legal entity Corash Industries LLC rests on BBB ‘Alternate Names’ and an OpenCorporates search row; the Arizona Corporation Commission record (image CAPTCHA) was not read, so it stays unconfirmed.
- Angi: the Mesa profile’s 43 reviews include one review (Nadine H., July 2023) also on the Chandler profile. Both profiles are kept as page-read figures (the duplicate’s star rating is not shown, so an adjusted Mesa average can’t be read); the effect is below rounding (customer satisfaction 9.5 either way).
- Arizona state courts (Public Access, verification words), OSHA and EPA Region 9 dockets were not searched; the legal record rests on AZDA, BBB, azag.gov and CourtListener.
