The score is provisional because its confidence rating is Low; what holds it back is under “What we couldn’t verify.” This page draws on 17 public sources retrieved between October 27, 2026 and October 28, 2026, and the record was verified on October 27, 2026. The sources are listed at the end. ## At a glance - Rank and score: #109 of 164 in the West, Handshake Score 7.3 out of 10 (provisional: its confidence rating is Low); data confidence low. - Door-to-door selling: not found in our research (badge “N/A”; this is not proof the company never sells door to door). - Ownership: independent. - Headquarters: Wichita, Kansas. - Founded: 1999. - Services on its record: general pest, termite, bed bugs, rodents and mice, ants, spiders, cockroaches, mosquitoes, fleas, commercial pest control. - Record verified October 27, 2026. - Legal name: Patton Termite & Pest Control, Inc.. - Website: https://pattontermiteandpest.com ## How we scored it Handshake Score: 7.3 out of 10, #109 of 164 in the West (provisional). Each factor is scored from 0 to 10; every point added or taken away is listed with the fact behind it. - Customer satisfaction (weight 46.67%, nominal 35%): 10.0/10 - Google 5.00 across 2,287 West reviews - Other platforms 4.60/5 (HomeAdvisor 4.6) — too few to blend - Blended 5.00/5 - Complaint record (weight 13.33%, nominal 10%): 10.0/10 - 0 BBB complaints in 3 yrs ÷ 2,287 (Wichita, Kansas Google review total: the company’s only Google listing; the BBB file covers its only office) = 0.0 per 1,000 → 10 - Sales and contract fairness (weight 15%): not scored - Sales & contract factor not scored: no contract terms or sales-conduct findings in the record; remaining weights renormalized - Licensing and compliance (weight 20%, nominal 15%): 10.0/10 - Legal and regulatory record (weight 20%, nominal 15%): 10.0/10 - Workplace score (weight 10%): not scored (< 20 employee reviews) - Weighted average of the factors above: 10.0/10. - Review volume −0.8: 2,287 of 5,000 Google reviews. - Verification depth −0.4: 13 of 250 other reviews · 0 of 20 employee reviews. - Locations −1.5: 1 of 10 locations. - Handshake Score: 7.3/10. Not scored for lack of records: sales and contract fairness. The remaining weights were rescaled. ## What customers say - Patton Termite & Pest Control has 2,287 Google reviews across 1 West listing, averaging 5.0. - BBB (Wichita, Kansas (Patton Termite & Pest Control, Inc. file)): rating not shown, 0 reviews, retrieved October 28, 2026 - HomeAdvisor (Wichita, Kansas): 4.6/5, 13 reviews, retrieved October 28, 2026 ## 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 October 28, 2026. ## Contracts and sales practices - Door-to-door badge: N/A. - Sales notes: Not found. The careers page lists a Customer Service Representative and a Pest Management Professional who will “sell pest management programs to various commercial and residential clients”; no summer, door-to-door or canvassing roles. The company takes quote requests by phone and web form. No review read mentions a rep at the door, and no solicitor-permit record was searched. Recorded as unknown. - Quarterly Plus Program: treatment inside and out four times a year with a warranty between services and a commercial-grade exterior rodent station at no extra charge. No term, renewal, cancellation or fee wording is published. - Pricing is quoted by phone or online form; no price list or service agreement is published on the site. - A HomeAdvisor customer (Apr 2012) says they are under a contract with the company; the review gives no term, renewal or cancellation detail. ## Licensing and registrations - Status and expiry are as the issuing agency’s record showed them on the date retrieved. - Kansas · Kansas Department of Agriculture (KDA), Pesticide and Fertilizer Program · Pesticide Business License (categories 3 Ornamental and Turf, 7 Industrial, Institutional, Structural and Health-Related) · no. 4479 · status: Current (categories 3 and 7 listed with expiry 12/31/2026) · expires December 31, 2026 · note: KDA public business search, term “Patton”, October 28, 2026: one row, PBL 4479, (316) 773-3825, address matches the company’s contact page. A second search for “Liberty Exterminating” returned the same single row. The lookup has no status column and no insurance or bond field, so insurance status is not shown. The company site prints no license number, so there is no advertised number to compare. “Welborn” returned no rows, so no separate current KDA business license appears under the Welborn/Liberty name. The “AKA LIBERTY EXTERMINATING” text is part of the licensee name as registered; the lookup does not say when or why it was added. ## 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] October 28, 2026 · US EPA ECHO facility search (name “Patton Termite”, state Kansas) · enforcement: EPA ECHO returned 0 facility rows for the name in Kansas. Not exhaustive: it covers EPA-tracked facilities, and FIFRA cases against a pest control firm may not appear. - [COMPLAINT RECORD, a count or summary of complaints, not findings; not counted in the legal score] October 28, 2026 · BBB of Midwest Plains, Patton Termite & Pest Control, Inc. (Wichita) file · complaint-summary: BBB rating A+, not accredited, 0 complaints and 0 customer reviews on file; no pattern-of-complaints alert or government-action notice shown. The profile data read by the verifier also shows 0 closed complaints in the past three years and in the past 12 months, and an empty alerts list. - [COMPLAINT RECORD, a count or summary of complaints, not findings; not counted in the legal score] October 28, 2026 · BBB of Midwest Plains, second file named “Patton Termite & Pest Control” (1617 W 52nd St N, Wichita) · complaint-summary: Separate sole-proprietorship file (owner Rocky Welborn, alternate name Liberty Exterminating, business started 3/1/1981, file opened 2/2/2010), BBB Not Rated, 0 complaints and 0 reviews. KDA lists Patton’s license as “AKA LIBERTY EXTERMINATING” and the BBB file carries the Patton name, but its owner, address (1617 W 52nd St N), phone ((316) 838-5667), entity type and 1981 start differ from Patton Termite & Pest Control, Inc. (founded 1999, 7920 W Kellogg Dr), and no source read says Patton bought or operates Liberty Exterminating. Both files show 0 complaints and the Not Rated file has no letter grade, so attributing it would not change complaint record. ## Mentions, awards and claims ### Mentions - [Pest control company helps family in desperate need rid home of bedbugs](https://www.kwch.com/2024/09/06/pest-control-company-helps-family-desperate-need-rid-home-bedbugs) (KWCH 12 News · September 6, 2024 · news): KWCH reports that Patton’s president sent a team to treat an elderly Wichita man’s home for bed bugs at no charge after the station aired the family’s story. ## On Reddit - Reddit hasn’t been searched for this company yet. ## Locations - States with a location on file: Kansas. - Cities: Wichita, Kansas. ## 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: - Verifier rated the legal and regulatory record low (high earns a point). - 2,287 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’s confidence by section: Identity high; Licensing high; Legal and regulatory low; Customer reviews medium; BBB high; Employee reviews low; Mentions medium; Sales model low. ### Gaps in the record - Results were leads only; every cited fact was read from the page. - No Google review excerpts collected. - Only one office exists (7920 W Kellogg Dr, Wichita, Kansas; the company site lists no other). Other covered-state licensing and registry were not researched because the company has no presence there. - Two other Wichita addresses appear on third-party pages: HomeAdvisor (7570 W 21st St N, Ste 1026C), attributed to Patton by legal name and founder as an older address, and a separate BBB file (1617 W 52nd St N, Rocky Welborn, “Liberty Exterminating”), which is related by name (KDA “AKA LIBERTY EXTERMINATING”) but not shown to belong to Patton. - Kansas Secretary of State business search is blocked by an AWS WAF CAPTCHA, and OpenCorporates showed a human-verification check; entity status in Kansas not read. KDA’s current business license implies good standing at issuance. - KDA lookup has no status column and no insurance or bond field; insurance not shown. The designated certified applicator is not shown by the business lookup. - KDA publishes no enforcement list; the Kansas Attorney General has no per-company complaint data; Kansas CaseSearch requires accepting a user agreement (not accepted); CourtListener is behind a human check; OSHA’s establishment search returned a ‘Let’s confirm you are human’ check (not bypassed). Court, OSHA and enforcement records are therefore not exhaustive. EPA ECHO name search returned 0 rows. - Yelp (a search-result summary suggested a listing around 4.9 stars with under 10 reviews, unverified and not recorded), Indeed, Glassdoor and Facebook were not fetched (terms forbid automated access). No employee ratings recorded. No RepVue page found. - Angi and Thumbtack: no Angi profile found by search; the Thumbtack page was not opened. Other aggregator pages (Yext, Houzz, Poyst, Birdeye, Porch) mirror Google or directory data and were not used. - No service agreement, FAQ answer or terms page is published (the FAQ answers are collapsed and were not captured). Term, renewal, cancellation fee, cancellation channel and arbitration are unknown. - No Reddit threads found by search. Web searches for lawsuits, attorney-general actions, settlements or complaints found nothing about this company; this is not proof of none. - QualityPro and NPMA membership claims were not checked on the issuers’ sites. - Liberty Exterminating: no document read states whether Patton Termite & Pest Control, Inc. bought, absorbed or merely licenses under the Liberty Exterminating name. The Kansas Secretary of State record (which might show an assumed name or acquisition) is blocked. Snippet leads from MapQuest, Yelp and LinkedIn were not opened (their terms forbid automated access) and are not evidence. The Wayback Machine was offline on October 28, 2026. - Kansas CaseSearch (casesearch.kscourts.gov) failed to connect on one try and also requires accepting a user agreement; no Kansas court, OSHA or Secretary of State record was read, so legal and registry coverage stays incomplete. ### Open questions - Does Patton Termite & Pest Control, Inc. own or operate Liberty Exterminating (the Welborn sole proprietorship)? Kansas Secretary of State assumed-name or acquisition records could settle it; the registry is blocked to the agent. - Kansas Secretary of State entity status, Kansas district court cases and OSHA establishment records were not readable (human checks / user agreement). - Google 5.0 from 2,287 is a third-party crawl dated September 11, 2026, not a live Google read. - Contract terms (term, renewal, cancellation fee and channel, arbitration) are unpublished; sales and contract fairness stays unscored. ## Common questions about Patton Termite & Pest Control ### Is Patton Termite & Pest Control licensed in Kansas?
