- [Not counted in the legal score] October 29, 2026 · New Mexico · enforcement: A search of the New Mexico Department of Justice (Attorney General) website for “pesttechs” returned no results. This is a site search only: state pesticide-regulator (NMDA) enforcement was not checked (NMDA lookup not used; see gaps).
- [LAWSUIT OR ALLEGATION, claims are allegations unless the summary states an outcome; not counted in the legal score] October 29, 2026 · New Mexico · lawsuit: CourtListener (D.N.M. federal dockets) search for “PestTechs” returned no results (the two-word form “Pest Techs” could not be re-run: site timed out). New Mexico state courts Case Lookup not used (see gaps).
- [COMPLAINT RECORD, a count or summary of complaints, not findings; not counted in the legal score] October 29, 2026 · New Mexico · complaint-summary: BBB complaints tab shows 0 complaints (BBB profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period); the business is not BBB accredited.

## Mentions, awards and claims

### Mentions

- [Pest Techs (Albuquerque listing, 10719 Miera Dr NW)](https://local.yahoo.com/info-214643446-pest-techs-albuquerque/) (Yahoo Local · directory): A directory (mirrored Yelp-style rating 3.0 from 3 reviews, not scored) lists a “Pest Techs” at 10719 Miera Dr NW, Albuquerque with website pesttechs.com and phone (505) 600-1078; a Yelp search snippet shows the same address, phone and website.
- [Steven Duncan - owner at PestTechs (LinkedIn)](https://www.linkedin.com/in/duncansteven) (LinkedIn · directory): Search snippet lists Steven Duncan as owner of PestTechs Pest & Weed Control, Farmington, from Nov 2010.

## On Reddit

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

## Locations

- States with a location on file: New Mexico.
- Cities: Farmington, New Mexico.

## 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:

- 1,189 western US Google reviews behind customer satisfaction (3,000 or more earns a point; 10,000 or more earns full points).
- 11 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 20.7% of the items checked (10% or fewer earns a point).

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

### Gaps in the record

- Not checked on live Google Maps because Google Maps terms forbid automated access; both match pesttechs.com phone/address and BBB (the second listing’s phone (505) 609-8202 is a BBB “Other Phone”).
- New Mexico pesticide license: not looked up (NMDA lookup terms restrict commercial use). License number 789 / expiry 12/31/2026 is only what BBB reports; holder and status unconfirmed. No NMDA enforcement list is published (records request needed).
- New Mexico state courts Case Lookup not used (its disclaimer restricts use; source guide says ask the operator first). Only CourtListener (federal) was searched. OSHA establishment search is blocked (human check): workplace-safety record not checked.
- Yelp, Facebook, Indeed and Glassdoor not opened (they forbid automated access). Yelp rating seen only in a search snippet (not scored). Facebook page claims over 1000 5-star reviews in a snippet (not evidence). No Indeed/Glassdoor/RepVue employer page found in searches: no employee ratings.
- No Angi, HomeAdvisor, Thumbtack or Trustpilot profile for PestTechs found (Angi Farmington pest-control list page does not include it); Nextdoor page has no rating or count.
- No published service contract: pesttechs.com Terms & Conditions are website-use terms only (Terms still show the old address 1905 E Mojave St). Minimum term, auto-renewal, cancellation method/fee and arbitration for service agreements are unknown.
- Colorado (Durango service area): no office; CDA business search found nothing (not proof). Licensing/registry not researched there.
- Door-to-door status not determined (no evidence either way). No reviews in the record describe reps at the door.
- Ownership “independent” rests on owner-managed single-entity records plus the company’s own “locally owned” claim.
- Searches: 24 searches used of 40; searches for legal actions, awards, news and Reddit returned nothing specific to PestTechs.
- BBB customer-review tab: loaded on the October 28, 2026 verification retry and shows 0 reviews (nothing to score). BBB main and complaints pages were re-read twice more on October 28, 2026 but timed out; the October 29, 2026 captures from the research run (profile, complaints tab) were used.
- Live status and ownership unconfirmed (Yelp forbids automated access). If it is later shown to be the company’s, it has no Google rating/count on file to score.
- Colorado Department of Agriculture business-search re-check timed out on October 28, 2026; the research run’s October 29, 2026 capture (“No Businesses found”) stands. Not proof of no past license.

### Open questions

- NM commercial-applicator license (BBB-reported number 789, expiry 12/31/2026) is unconfirmed: NMDA lookup not used. Holder and status unknown.
- Is the Albuquerque ‘Pest Techs’ (10719 Miera Dr NW, (505) 600-1078, website pesttechs.com) this company’s second office or an unrelated listing using the same website? Not determinable from public pages that allow automated tools.
- Door-to-door status unknown (no evidence either way).
- Service contract (minimum term, renewal, cancellation fee/channel, arbitration) is unpublished; sales and contract fairness is unscored.
