• Thumbtack, Greenix Pest Control - Omaha, Nebraska

  “Home had tons of pest control issues when we bought it. No longer have those concerns thanks to greenix. Personnel are professional, friendly and easy to work with.”

  Name not shownRead on Thumbtack

Greenix has dozens of BBB branch profiles (69 search results) that all roll up to one pooled corporate file. The West branch pages read (Grimes Iowa, Orem/Centerville Utah, St Paul Minnesota) show the same company-wide figures and no complaints of their own. The pooled file also covers branches outside the West, so for scoring it is not attributable to the West. No separate BBB profile was found for Nebraska, Kansas or Missouri offices (BBB search pages 1-5 for “Greenix Pest Control” listed profiles only in Delaware, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Utah and Wisconsin; a St Paul Minnesota profile turned up in a later location search).

Scored: Complaint record

Complaint themes

• Early-termination fee of $249 to $399 charged on cancellation
• Term and cancellation fee not matching what the salesperson said (one 10/10/2026 complaint)
• Service visits missed or not effective

BBB profiles

• Main profile · A+View

• Headquarters file with corporate-owned locations (Columbus, Ohio profile) · A+ · accredited · 626 complaints in 3 yearsView

  This file says it includes complaints for the headquarters and its corporate-owned locations. Branches in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Illinois, Kentucky, Delaware and Maryland and the West are all pooled here, so the totals cover non-West states.

• Grimes, Iowa branch page (shows the pooled headquarters totals) · A+ · accredited · 629 complaints in 3 yearsView

  Branch page of the pooled headquarters file (“View Headquarters”); BBB serving Greater Iowa, Quad Cities and Siouxland; the complaint list on the branch page is empty (“There are no matching results”). Totals are the pooled company figure (629 / 191 on this snapshot vs 626 / 186 on the headquarters page).

• Orem/Centerville, Utah branch page (shows the pooled headquarters totals) · A+ · accredited · 626 complaints in 3 yearsView

  Branch page; BBB Mountain West & Pacific Southwest; the page redirects to the Orem address; “View Headquarters”; empty complaint list; same pooled totals as the headquarters page.

• St Paul, Minnesota branch page (shows the pooled headquarters totals) · A+ · accredited · 626 complaints in 3 yearsView

  Branch page; BBB of Minnesota and North Dakota; “View Headquarters”; empty complaint list; same pooled totals as the headquarters page.

Door-to-door sales: Yes

Kept “yes”. The fetched WNDU report (South Bend, Indiana, 22 Jun 2026) names Greenix Pest Control and shows its reps selling door to door (the city says Greenix applied for 15 peddler’s licenses), and five 2026 first-hand complaints on the pooled BBB file describe a salesperson at the door (location not stated). VERIFY-BRIEF counts company-level evidence for “yes” (it is a brand-wide sales model, run by one company with one sales operation), so a non-West report is enough for this badge; the badge is not scored. West-tied indications are still search snippets only (not fetched): an Indeed “Door to Door Sales Representative at Greenix Pest Control” page, a Reddit “Door-to-Door (D2D) Sales Manager at Greenix Pest Control Salt Lake City” internship post, an Instagram recruiting account “Greenix D2D Sales Team”, and a Reddit r/D2DSales post by a former Greenix rep. Greenix also sells online (its release says over 40% of annual sales come through digital channels).

Contract terms and pricing

• Company-stated (website Terms of Use, section 3 “Recurring Services”, effective 7 Nov 2025; the section covers the pest-control service, not website use): recurring service continues until canceled and may renew automatically. Also company-stated in its BBB reply of 09/14/2026: services continue on a non-contractual basis until the customer notifies Greenix to discontinue.^{6, 7}

  “Scheduling & Renewals: Services may automatically renew as part of ongoing pest prevention programs.”

  Scored: Sales and contract fairness (−0.5)

• Company-stated cancellation method: “contacting Greenix directly”; effective once a representative confirms; “may be subject to terms in the service agreement”. Not phone-only wording. The fee, minimum term and any arbitration clause sit in the separate signed service agreement, which is not published.⁷

  “Cancellation: Customers may cancel by contacting Greenix directly. Cancellations are effective once confirmed by a representative and may be subject to terms in the service agreement.”

• The Terms of Use only govern use of the website (governing law Utah; disputes in Utah County courts). They contain no arbitration or class-waiver clause for service contracts, and the signed service agreement is not published, so the arbitration term is unknown.⁷

  “Any disputes shall be brought in state or federal courts located in Utah County, Utah.”

• Advertised pricing: general pest, rodent control and termite prevention “Starting at $49.99/mo”; tick, flea and mosquito “Starting at $79.99/mo”; “pricing based on home size”.⁸

  “Starting at $49.99/mo”

• Guarantee: 48-hour service and free re-service between seasonal visits. BBB profile (Grimes, Iowa branch page) says free retreatments between quarterly services, and the last paid service is refunded if two retreatments fail (quarterly plans only).^{8, 9}

  “We guarantee our services by offering free retreatments in between regular quarterly plan services.”

• Customer-reported, location not stated, pooled headquarters file: a complaint dated 10/10/2026 says the signed agreement was a “mandatory 12-month subscription at $69.99 per month plus tax” with a $299 early termination fee, and that a later agreement showed an initial term of “0 months” and a $249 cancellation fee. Not scored: no West location in the text.⁴

  “placed me into a mandatory 12-month subscription at $69.99 per month plus tax and imposed a $299 early termination fee”

• Customer-reported, pooled headquarters file: three more first-page complaints (Sept-Oct 2026) describe a $299 cancellation fee and one a $399 fee, one after a single service visit. Pages 2-4 add more $249, $299 and $300 fee reports and 12- and 18-month term reports. Only one of these reports is tied to a West state: the 09/29/2026 Minnesota complaint ($299 plus tax).⁴

  “They are willing to cancel the account; however, they are charging me a $299 cancellation fee.”

Status and expiry dates are shown exactly as the issuing agency’s record showed them on the date retrieved.

Only resolved government actions count toward the score. Pending lawsuits, allegations and private matters are listed here but marked “N/A” (not counted in the score). Summaries are our researchers’ wording of the source; allegations are allegations, not findings.

• November 2, 2026 · BBB (pooled corporate file) · Complaint summaryN/A

  626 complaints in 3 years and 186 in 12 months on the pooled headquarters file (grade A+, accredited); West branch pages show the same totals. Pattern or alert notices: none shown on the pages read.⁴

• November 2, 2026 · Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Utah, Missouri and Nebraska pesticide regulators · EnforcementN/A

  No enforcement action, penalty or license discipline was found. Minnesota, Iowa, Utah, Kansas and Missouri do not publish enforcement lists (state source guides), so this is an absence in what is public, not proof of none. State AG, FTC and court searches (searches) returned nothing about Greenix.⁴⁴

• June 22, 2026 · Local news, South Bend, Indiana (outside the West) · Complaint summaryN/A

  WNDU reports residents saying Greenix door-to-door salespeople ignored “no soliciting” signs and would not leave; Greenix did not return calls. Context for the sales model only; not West-tied.⁵

Workplace score: N/A. It carries 10% of the Handshake Score when at least 20 employee reviews are on file (otherwise excluded and remaining weights renormalized).

What the company says about itself

These are the company’s own claims, quoted from its materials. We haven’t verified them.

• “Safeguarding 500,000+ homes & counting.”⁶⁰

• Founded 2011, headquartered in Orem Utah; more than 250,000 homes in 19 markets in 16 states with 37 branches (July 2025 release).²

• Acquisitions since 2020: Rise Pest Control (2021), Bamboo Services (2023), Insight Pest Solutions (2024), ProActive/Spidexx (2025), Rove Pest Control (2025).²

• Greenix’s site lists 18 states: Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Utah and Wisconsin.⁶⁰

• Greenix service-area pages exist for West markets without their own Google listing (Council Bluffs Iowa, Leavenworth Kansas, Maple Grove and Minneapolis Minnesota, Liberty Missouri, Lehi Utah). Each page shows an existing office address (Grimes, Overland Park, New Hope, Independence, Orem), so no extra locations were added. The Rochester Minnesota page capture was empty.⁶¹

• “Starting at $49.99/mo” plans and a 48-hour re-service guarantee.⁸

How confidence is set

Gaps in the record

• Five of them (New Hope, Grimes, Overland Park, Independence, Orem) were matched on address to the company’s own service-area pages; the other 13 were not checked against live Google pages (Google Maps forbids automated access). No listing looked like a different business.
• BBB: Greenix has dozens of branch profiles that all show one pooled corporate file (626 complaints in 3 years). Pages 1-4 of the headquarters file were read (40 complaints); one is tied to Minnesota by its text and none to another West state. Branch pages show no complaint text and the BBB review list does not render, so no BBB review text was read. Pages 5-57 (about 580 complaints) were not read, so other West-tied reports may exist.
• Customer contract terms: the signed service agreement is not published. Minimum term and early-cancellation fee are unknown from company sources, and the arbitration term is unknown (the Terms of Use cover the website for use, and their Recurring Services section points to the signed agreement). Customer-reported fees ($249 to $399) and 12- and 18-month terms appear on the pooled BBB file; only one fee report is tied to a West state (Minnesota, $299), so nothing is scored.
• Yelp, Facebook, Glassdoor, Indeed: not fetched (terms forbid automated access). Yelp listings exist for Overland Park Kansas (snippet showed no rating); Glassdoor 3.9 from 366 and Indeed 507 reviews appear only as search snippets and are not scored. No RepVue page checked. Trustpilot: no page found. Angi: listing seen in snippets, URL unresolved. HomeAdvisor Overland Park profile has no reviews.
• Reddit pages returned a human-verification check (not bypassed); Reddit and Facebook items are search snippets only.
• Licenses: Nebraska has no company license and the NE applicator lookup shows no employer, so no Greenix applicator was identified. New Mexico not applicable. Missouri’s only business record has the Kansas office address; no Missouri-address record for Independence or Kansas City Missouri. Iowa branch-suffix records (-001) exist for the Omaha, Overland Park and New Hope offices. Insurance and bond are not shown in any lookup. Suspensions are not shown in the Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Utah or Missouri lookups.
• Business registry: Minnesota and Missouri searches read (Greenix Holdings, LLC, foreign LLC, Active); detail pages with home jurisdiction not opened. Iowa SOS timed out twice, Kansas SOS is behind a CAPTCHA, Nebraska SOS needs a reCAPTCHA and Utah’s search is behind Cloudflare Turnstile; none were bypassed.
• Regulatory and legal: no AG, FTC, agriculture-regulator or court matter found in searches (35 queries). State courts (Minnesota MCRO, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri CaseNet, Utah Xchange, Nebraska JUSTICE) and federal OSHA were not searched by name; Minnesota, Iowa, Utah, Kansas and Missouri publish no pesticide enforcement lists, and Minnesota AG complaint data is request-only. Municipal solicitor-permit actions in West cities were not found.
• PCT page on the Wasatch Pest Control acquisition came back empty; the acquisition is a search snippet only. HQ addresses: only the Orem office address is on license records.
• Door-to-door: evidence fetched is a South Bend, Indiana TV report plus five 2026 complaints on the pooled BBB file (location not stated); Utah and Midwest recruiting items are search snippets. No fetched West-tied no-soliciting or knocking-after-8pm report.
• Licensing/registry for the non-West states Greenix operates in (Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Wisconsin) is outside the 24 covered states and was not looked up. Utah AIMS and the Minnesota and Missouri Secretary of State captures were not repeated live on November 2, 2026 (Utah capture of October 29, 2026 used).

Open questions

• About 580 BBB complaints (pages 5-57) were not read; more West-tied fee or misrepresentation reports may exist.
• Whether Thumbtack’s ‘From Google’ label covers the whole 38-review figure is not shown; the figure is excluded either way.
• Missouri’s only business record carries the Overland Park Kansas address; no record at the Independence or Kansas City Missouri offices.
