The single BBB file (Lovell Wyoming) is the corporation’s only BBB file, as for Aimvo, Elevate, PCI and Axiom) = 0.0 per 1,000 → 10

## What customers say

## Better Business Bureau

- Its BBB profile shows an A+ grade and 0 complaints in the last three years.
- Not BBB accredited.
- BBB customer reviews: No reviews.
- Retrieved November 2, 2026.

## Contracts and sales practices

- Door-to-door badge: N/A.
- Sales notes: No evidence of door-to-door selling by Kodiak found: the careers page is a general application form and no recruiting site, summer-sales posting or review mentioning reps at the door was found (search November 2, 2026). The owner’s About-page bio says he spent summers “selling pest control in California” years ago for other firms (not Kodiak); the page does not say door-to-door. Customers can also request quotes online (“Saw your truck”, “Referral” and “Online search” are lead-source options on the quote form).
- Residential “Kodiak Unlimited Program”: 6 scheduled treatments (“365 days a year”) plus “Unlimited services” (“Call anytime”; “No hidden fees. No limits.”); advertised “Starts at just $49/mo”. Company claims.
- Advertised starting price of the program.
- Pest-free guarantee: covered pests that return are re-serviced free (company claim). No minimum term, renewal, cancellation method or fee, or arbitration clause is published on the website; the signed service agreement was not found.

## Licensing and registrations

- Status and expiry are as the issuing agency’s record showed them on the date retrieved.
- Wyoming · Wyoming Department of Agriculture (WDA) Pesticide Program · Commercial applicator (individual: JACOB HASLEM, Lovell, Big Horn County; categories 901A, 901E, 903A, 903B, 903E, 906, 907H, 907J, 907X). Wyoming issues no company pest-control license. · no. 53805 · status: Current by expiration date (the WDA search shows no status column) · expires 1/31/2028 · note: Linked to the company by name and city only: the owner/operator is Jacob Haslem and the HQ is Lovell. The WDA record names no employer.
- Wyoming · Wyoming Department of Agriculture (WDA) Pesticide Program · Commercial applicator (individual: PETRUS OBERHOLZER, Lovell, Big Horn County; categories 900, 901E, 903E, 906, 907H) · no. 33492 · status: Current by expiration date · expires 1/31/2029 · note: The company’s About page lists a technician “PC Oberholzer”; the match to PETRUS OBERHOLZER is by surname and city (Lovell) only.
- Wyoming · Wyoming Department of Agriculture (WDA) Pesticide Program · Technician “Joshua Mangus” (About page): no match · status: Not found in the WDA applicator search under “mangus” · note: Not evidence of an unlicensed technician: the WDA search matches names only and a technician may be licensed under another name or work under a licensed applicator. A Montana Operator record for “Josh Mangus” exists; matched by name only.
- Montana · Montana Department of Agriculture (MDA) Pesticide License Program · Commercial Applicator (individual: Jacob B Haslem; Montana licenses individuals only, no company license). Business Name and insurance fields blank. · no. 106904-12 · status: Licensing Board field shows “Active”, but the License Expiration Date shown (12/31/2025) is before the retrieval date · expires 12/31/2025 · note: Montana licenses individuals only (no company license); the record carries no business name, insurance data or issue date. The Licensing Board field says Active but the expiration date is 12/31/2025. Only one Haslem record was returned (Accela business-name search for the company is not supported). A separate Montana Operator record for PETRUS OBERHOLZER also expired 12/31/2025; a “Josh Mangus” Operator record runs to 12/31/2026. No record names the Billings office, so a current 2026 license for the Billings branch could be neither confirmed nor ruled out. Address on the Haslem record is the Lovell, Wyoming office (home addresses not copied).
- Montana · Montana Department of Agriculture (MDA) Pesticide License Program · Operator (individual: Petrus Oberholzer; Montana licenses individuals only). Business Name field blank. · no. 9373 · status: Licensing Board field shows “Active”, but the License Expiration Date shown (12/31/2025) is before the retrieval date · expires 12/31/2025 · note: Matched to the company’s technician (About page “PC Oberholzer”; WDA 33492) by name only; the record’s address is the Lovell, Wyoming office (not copied). Not a branch-level company record.
- Montana · Montana Department of Agriculture (MDA) Pesticide License Program · Operator (individual: Josh Mangus; Montana licenses individuals only). Business Name and address fields blank. · no. 000029 · status: Active by expiration date · expires 12/31/2026 · note: Matched to the company’s technician “Joshua Mangus” (About page) by first name and surname only; the record names no employer or address, so the link is unconfirmed. Issued 12/15/2025.

## 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] November 2, 2026 · US federal · lawsuit: Federal dockets (CourtListener/RECAP search of all courts): no result for “Kodiak Pest Control”. State trial-court records in Montana and Wyoming are not searchable remotely (see gaps).
- [COMPLAINT RECORD, a count or summary of complaints, not findings; not counted in the legal score] November 2, 2026 · Wyoming · complaint-summary: BBB profile (Lovell, Wyoming): 0 complaints on file, 0 customer reviews, A+ rating, not accredited.

## Mentions, awards and claims

### Mentions

- [Why This Pest Control Company Doesn't Compete on Price](https://podcasts.apple.com/sg/podcast/why-this-pest-control-company-doesnt-compete-on-price/id1780007522?i=1000749302241) (Pesty Marketing Podcast (Apple Podcasts) · podcast): Industry-marketing podcast interview with owner Jacob Haslem about positioning Kodiak as a premium rural-Wyoming pest company; the host’s own framing, not an independent review. Episode date shown only as “11 February” (no year on the page).
- [Months of Records Reveal Ongoing Mouse Problem at Billings ...](https://www.facebook.com/MTNAndreaLutz/videos/icymi-rodent-reality-checkmonths-of-inspection-records-reveal-an-ongoing-mouse-p/1572676781203293/) (MTN News (Andrea Lutz), Facebook video · news): Local TV segment (MTN News, Andrea Lutz) quoting “Jacob from Kodiak Pest Control” on a surge in mice across Billings after a mild winter. The snippet gives only a first name and company, not the surname or the segment date; Facebook was not opened, so this is recorded from the search snippet only and is not scored.

## On Reddit

- Reddit hasn’t been searched for this company yet.

## Locations

- States with a location on file: Montana and Wyoming.
- Cities: Billings, Montana, Cody, Wyoming, Powell, Wyoming, Lovell, Wyoming.

## What we couldn’t verify

Overall confidence in this score: Low (provisional), 1 of 11 points. [How confidence is set](https://handshakereviews.com/how-we-review#confidence).

What keeps it from rating higher:

- 1,003 western US Google reviews behind customer satisfaction (3,000 or more earns a point; 10,000 or more earns full points).
- 8 independent websites cited (25 or more earns a point).
- 4 of 5 factors scored (not scored: sales and contract fairness).
- Too few independent non-Google reviews to blend in (Google only).
- Verifier rated the customer reviews medium (high earns a point).
- Verifier rated the licensing medium (high earns a point).
- Verifier rated the legal and regulatory record medium (high earns a point).
- Verifier corrected or removed 10.8% of the items checked (10% or fewer earns a point).

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

### Gaps in the record

- Google Maps was not opened, so they were not re-read live. The four listing addresses were checked against the company’s own office list (Lovell HQ, Cody, Powell, Billings) and match.
- Identity checked against the raw third-party records: all four records carry domain kodiakpestcontrol.com and website links to Kodiak’s own city landing pages, which show the matching office address; names match; none is closed. Address wording differs slightly (listing “182 S 32nd St Ste #3” vs site “182 S 32nd St W”; “1920 Sheridan Ave” vs “1920 E. Sheridan Ave”; “355 Nevada Ave” vs “355 1/2 Nevada Ave”). Treated as the same business; the phone mismatch is unresolved.
- Business registry not read in either state: Wyoming SOS (legal and regulatory record bot defense), Montana SOS (Cloudflare) and the OpenCorporates mirror (“Checking your browser”) were all blocked or challenged. Legal name rests on the company’s About page and the BBB entity type (Corporation).
- Licensing: Wyoming and Montana license individuals only; no company license exists to look up. Wyoming: owner Jacob Haslem (53805) and one technician (33492) found, linked by name and city only; technician Joshua Mangus not found in Wyoming. Montana (Accela, surname searches): Jacob B Haslem Commercial Applicator 106904-12 and Petrus Oberholzer Operator 9373 both show Active with expiry 12/31/2025 (past); Josh Mangus Operator 000029 runs to 12/31/2026 (name-only match). Billings branch technicians are otherwise unknown (Accela search is by person; the older MT portal is blocked), so whether Billings has a current 2026 licensee is unconfirmed.
- Insurance: neither state shows insurance for resident applicators in the lookups read (MT insurance fields blank on 106904-12; Wyoming has no requirement shown).
- Contract terms: no minimum term, auto-renewal, cancellation fee/method or arbitration language is published on the website (home, residential, commercial, about, privacy pages read); the signed service agreement was not found, so these stay unknown.
- Other review platforms: BBB has 0 reviews. No Angi, Trustpilot, Thumbtack, HomeAdvisor or Nextdoor profile surfaced in searches. Yelp and Facebook were not opened; Yelp and Yahoo Local appeared only as search results/mirrors and are not scored. No negative review text was read, so themes are empty.
- Employee reviews: Indeed, Glassdoor and RepVue were not opened and no usable snippet was found; Workplace unscored.
- Door-to-door status: no evidence either way (see the sales evidence).
- Regulatory: Wyoming AG “resolved matters” page read (it lists only “some matters”): no Kodiak entry. Montana OCP publishes no complaint data and no Montana and Wyoming pesticide enforcement list exists. OSHA establishment search is behind a human-verification check (not run); Wyoming OSHA is not searchable. Montana and Wyoming state trial-court records are not searchable remotely; the Montana Supreme Court docket was not searched. Federal courts: no CourtListener result.
- Cody Chamber of Commerce listing returned HTTP 403 (recorded as blocked). QualityPro status not verified on the issuer’s site.
- Owner/founding: Wyoming and Montana registries were blocked, so the corporation’s formation date, status and officers are unverified. “Founded May 2019” and “Kodiak Pest Control, Inc.” are company-stated (About page); BBB lists Business Started 11/25/2023 and Type of Entity Corporation. The BBB phone and the Montana records show Jacob Haslem as owner/contact.
- Facebook mention (MTN News video) is a search snippet only; Facebook was not opened and the snippet gives no date.

### Open questions

- Does the Billings branch have a current 2026 Montana licensee? Haslem (106904-12) and Oberholzer (9373) show 12/31/2025 expiry; Mangus (000029) is name-matched only.
- Phone numbers on the Google listings and the BBB file differ from the site’s.
- Corporation registry details (Wyoming and Montana SOS) were blocked.
