## Legal and regulatory record

Only resolved government actions count toward the score. Pending lawsuits, private suits and allegations are listed as such; they are allegations, not findings.

- County agricultural commissioner civil penalty, San Diego County: NOPA EA-37-2026-007 against “LLOYD PEST CONTROL CO. INC.”; incident date October 14, 2025; code section BPC 8538; final fine $250. Matched by license number: SPCM 813 = SPCB company registration PR 813, held by Lloyd Pest Control Co Inc. Minor administrative penalty. (sources [26](https://www.cdpr.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/cac_admin_civil_penalties-092024_092026.xlsx)) _October 14, 2025 · San Diego County Agricultural Commissioner (California); DPR county civil-penalty list · Enforcement · Not scored_
- Vishal Shah v. The Lloyd Pest Control Co.: a complaint filed May 8, 2024 in Santa Clara County Superior Court, summarized by Trellis as a class action alleging the defendant violated the Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act through an electronic communication. The docket lists “Request: Dismissal” on July 11, 2024, described as “entire with prejudice by atty Lane” (the plaintiff’s attorney). No class certification or class settlement is shown; terms of any private resolution are not shown. Private suit, not a government action; not scored. Entity: the defendant name matches the BBB alternate name “The Lloyd Pest Control Co Inc”; Trellis shows no address, so the tie to this Lloyd rests on the name.
