Pfitzer Pest Control Review

Weights add to 100% without the factors marked N/A. How the adjustments work

How we review companies Handshake Score v1.5.0 (rules v1.0.7, confidence v1.2.1)

“In score” marks the profiles counted in the customer-satisfaction factor.

No BBB profile found. bbb.org search for “Pfitzer Pest Control” returned “No results”.

N/A

Door-to-door sales: N/A

N/A: the research didn’t establish door-to-door selling. It isn’t proof that the company never knocks.

No door-to-door evidence found. Careers page: the Field Service Representative role is “focusing on serving our current customer base and acquiring new clients”; it is a technician-plus-sales role, not a summer door-knocking program. Location pages say the company does not use “pressure-based sales tactics” (company claim, recorded in claims). No Reddit/news/permit evidence either way.

No employee reviews on file.

Overall confidence in this score: Low (provisional), -1 of 11 points. N/A (not scored): complaint record, sales and contract fairness. The reason is under “How we scored it.”

What keeps it from rating higher:

• Verifier rated the legal and regulatory record low (high earns a point).
• 3 of 5 factors scored (not scored: complaint record and sales and contract fairness).
• 1,374 western US Google reviews behind customer satisfaction (3,000 or more earns a point; 10,000 or more earns full points).
• 9 independent websites cited (25 or more earns a point).
• 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).

How confidence is set

Gaps in the record

• Google Maps was not opened (task rule). Counts are third-party crawl values (record dates June 29, 2026 to October 27, 2026), not live Google reads. No Google review text collected.
• Master’s 591 votes in both Wyoming and South Dakota are two different sums that happen to be equal (Wyoming 515+76; SD 254+214+120+3), not one listing counted twice.
• Sheridan: the company contact page says “SHERIDAN (COMING SOON)” while the Sheridan location page and the 515-review Google listing show an operating branch; the contact page appears stale. Gillette’s Google listing (76 reviews) was first seen October 27, 2026.
• Legal name and SD formation come from the North Dakota SOS record only. No Wyoming foreign registration was seen.
• Wyoming and South Dakota license individuals only; there is no company license to read. Gillette has no identified applicator (no named manager). The Wyoming and North Dakota lookups show no employer; Alden Good (Wyoming 50357) is linked to the company by name and the Ranchester town only. The Teagan Pfitzer Wyoming and South Dakota records are matched on surname only.
• South Dakota civil court records require a mailed request with fees (PARS $20, criminal only) and OSHA’s establishment search shows a human check, so court and OSHA records were not checked. DANR and WDA publish no enforcement list; the Wyoming AG resolved-matters page has no mention of the company; South Dakota AG offers no per-company complaint data.
• BBB: no profile found, so no BBB reviews or complaints. Yelp (1 review, snippet only), Indeed (pay-estimate page only, snippet), Glassdoor, Facebook, Angi, HomeAdvisor, Thumbtack, Nextdoor and Trustpilot were not opened or returned nothing usable; no rating from any of them is scored.
• Contract terms: the company site publishes no service agreement, cancellation, auto-renewal or arbitration terms (the FAQ has seasonal-spray questions only); customer portal pfitzer.pestportals.com not opened. Sales and contract fairness inputs stay unknown. A 30-day satisfaction guarantee is a company claim.
• Queries for AG/lawsuit terms returned unrelated pages. The site has no door-to-door evidence either way.
• North Dakota AG enforcement list and the Mobridge/Aberdeen location pages did not finish loading in the shared session (timeouts); the company has no North Dakota operation, so the North Dakota AG list was not read.
• Employee data: no Indeed/Glassdoor/RepVue rating or count obtained (Indeed salary page appears only as a snippet showing an hourly pay estimate).
• Searches for enforcement or litigation (November 2, 2026): Wyoming AG Consumer Protection resolved-matters page has no mention of the company; CourtListener RECAP search for “Pfitzer Pest Control” returned no results; the South Dakota AG press-release archive has no per-company search (Google CSE) and was not searchable; WDA and DANR publish no enforcement list (state source guides). These support “none found”, not “none exist”.
• Yelp is a search-result title with an unconfirmed entity (phone differs from the company’s).

Open questions

• South Dakota and Wyoming Secretary of State records (legal name, formation, standing) could not be read; both are bot-gated.
• Gillette has no identified applicator; Wyoming licenses individuals only and its lookup shows no employer.
• Contract terms, cancellation and arbitration are unpublished (customer portal not opened), so sales and contract fairness stays unscored.
