## 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.

- No entry for PCI Pest Control or Purcell in WSDA’s published compliance enforcement-action lists for 2019 through 2026 Q3. (sources [33](https://cms.agr.wa.gov/WSDAKentico/Documents/PM/Compliance/2026-Compliance-Enforcement-Actions-Q3-(002%29.pdf)) _October 28, 2026 · Washington State Department of Agriculture (pesticide compliance enforcement actions) · Enforcement · Not scored_
- No enforcement row for license 0994170, “PCI” or “PURCELL”. The report covers only the last 12 months. (sources [34](https://texasagriculture.gov/Portals/0/Reports/PIR/spcs_enforcement.xls)) _October 28, 2026 · Texas Department of Agriculture (Structural Pest Control enforcement report, rolling 12 months to October 26, 2026) · Enforcement · Not scored_
- No published case law for “PCI Pest Control”; the RECAP archive’s only hit is an unrelated Hong Kong “PCI Pest Control Private Ltd” in a 2020 Delaware bankruptcy creditor list. Web searches for lawsuits, settlements, attorney-general actions and consent orders (pci-pest-control-legal, pci-pest-control-court) found nothing about this company. (sources [35](https://www.courtlistener.com/?q=%22PCI+Pest+Control%22), [36](https://www.courtlistener.com/?type=r&q=%22PCI+Pest+Control%22)) _October 28, 2026 · Federal courts (CourtListener) · Lawsuit · Not scored_
