## 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.

- Citation and order, case 101185 (adjudicated 03/05/2025). An AZDA inspector found that at 11 new-construction termite treatment sites in Prescott Valley (January to July 2024) Patriot applicators mixed Bora-care at a 13% solution, not the label’s 23% for preventative treatment; the owner/QP admitted the wrong dilution. The company also filed 219 of 291 termite action report forms (TARFs) more than 30 days late (April 2023 to October 2024). Violations: pesticide misuse by QP Kevin DeWitt, qualified applicator Shane Powell and one certified applicator (#1-3), and late TARFs by the business (#4). Order: the business (BL 9734) serves a 3-month probation (April 1 to July 1, 2025) with a TARF audit and weekly reporting, with no monetary penalty on the business; each of the three individuals pays a $400 civil penalty ($1,200 case total). The order became final if no hearing was requested within 30 days; none is shown. (sources [27](https://opm.azda.gov/Assets/Orders/2170.pdf), [28](https://opm.azda.gov/ComplaintSearch.php#RespName=PATRIOT_PEST), [29](https://opm.azda.gov/Co_detail.php?sBuss=9734#complaints)) _March 5, 2025 · Arizona Department of Agriculture, Pest Management Division (Office of Pest Management) · Enforcement · Not scored_
- Citation and order, case 100978 (adjudicated 02/01/2022), after an April 2021 office records inspection. Of 71 termite pretreatments done 3/2019 to 4/2020, the company completed 26 final-grade treatments more than 12 months after pretreatment, and did not file TARFs for 45 final grades completed on time. Order: the business (BL 9734) is issued a Warning, serves a 6-month probation from March 1, 2022 (monthly TARF audits, daily pre-reporting and weekly post-reporting of final grades), and must pay a $1,000 civil penalty ‘stayed conditional on successful completion of probation’. If required final grades were not completed during probation, the company had to extend the termite warranty on those accounts by one year; otherwise the stay on the $1,000 penalty would be lifted. The record does not show whether probation was completed or the stay lifted. (The order’s post-reporting header cites ‘#100989’, apparently a typo for 100978.) (sources [18](https://opm.azda.gov/Assets/Orders/1884.pdf), [28](https://opm.azda.gov/ComplaintSearch.php#RespName=PATRIOT_PEST), [29](https://opm.azda.gov/Co_detail.php?sBuss=9734#complaints)) _February 1, 2022 · Arizona Department of Agriculture, Pest Management Division (Office of Pest Management) · Enforcement · Not scored_
