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 28 public sources retrieved between October 27, 2026 and November 2, 2026, and the record was verified on October 27, 2026. The sources are listed at the end. ## At a glance - Rank and score: #20 of 164 in the West, Handshake Score 8.5 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: Mobridge, South Dakota. - Founded: 2009. - Services on its record: residential pest control (seasonal exterior treatments), commercial pest control, farm and ranch pest control, rodent control (mice and rats), termites, bed bugs, fleas, roaches, lawn care (per careers page). - Record verified October 27, 2026. - Legal name: Pfitzer Pest Control, LLC. - Website: https://www.pfitzerpestcontrol.com ## How we scored it Handshake Score: 8.5 out of 10, #20 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 53.85%, nominal 35%): 10.0/10 - Google 5.00 across 1,374 West reviews - Blended 5.00/5 - Complaint record (weight 10%): not scored - 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 23.08%, nominal 15%): 10.0/10 - Legal and regulatory record (weight 23.08%, 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: 1,374 of 5,000 Google reviews. - Verification depth −0.4: 0 of 250 other reviews · 0 of 20 employee reviews. - Locations −0.3: 8 of 10 locations. - Handshake Score: 8.5/10. Not scored for lack of records: complaint record, sales and contract fairness. The remaining weights were rescaled. ## What customers say - Pfitzer Pest Control has 1,374 Google reviews across 7 West listings, averaging 5.0. - Yelp (Sheridan, Wyoming (unconfirmed entity)): rating not shown, 1 review, retrieved November 2, 2026 ## Better Business Bureau - No BBB grade or complaint count on file. - Retrieved November 2, 2026. ## Contracts and sales practices - Door-to-door badge: N/A. - Sales notes: 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 contract terms on file. ## Licensing and registrations - Status and expiry are as the issuing agency’s record showed them on the date retrieved. - South Dakota · South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources (DANR), Pesticide Applicators and Dealers · Commercial applicator, individual license (South Dakota licenses individuals only; no company license exists). Licensee Garret Pfitzer, Glenham South Dakota, the company’s owner; categories G,4,8,12 · no. 8515 · status: Current (expires Mar 31 2027) · expires March 31, 2027 - South Dakota · South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources (DANR), Pesticide Applicators and Dealers · Company roster (Company = “Pfitzer”): 21 applicator rows. 8 hold a current license (Frederick 19791, Lucklum 18636 [Huron area manager], G. Pfitzer 8515, T. Pfitzer 50935, Pfamatter 24621, Ostlie 22787, Sam 50374, Bauer 22862 [Clearmont Wyoming resident]); 11 rows show EXPIRED (former or lapsed staff) and 2 rows have no license number · status: Branches staffed by current licensed applicators; expired rows are individual technicians, not a company lapse - Wyoming · Wyoming Department of Agriculture (WDA), Pesticide Program · Commercial applicator, individual license (Wyoming licenses individuals only; no company license). Alden Good, Ranchester, Sheridan County, category 907X. The lookup shows no employer; linked to the company by name and town: the company’s Sheridan page names “Alden Good” as Sheridan area manager and the Chamber lists the business at a Ranchester P.O. box · no. 50357 · status: Current (expires 1/31/2028) · expires January 31, 2028 - Wyoming · Wyoming Department of Agriculture (WDA), Pesticide Program · Commercial applicator, individual license, Teagan Pfitzer, Glenham South Dakota (“Out Of State”); categories 900, 901E, 903A, 903B, 903C, 903E, 907.G, 907H, 907I, 907J, 908G. · no. 101136 · status: Current (expires 03/31/2028) · expires March 31, 2028 - North Dakota · Commercial applicator certification, individual (North Dakota certifies individuals only; no company license). GARRET L PFITZER, Mobridge, county “OUT OF STATE” (matched to the owner by name and town) · no. 10036609 · status: Retired (certification expired); the company has no North Dakota office - North Dakota · North Dakota Secretary of State (FirstStop business search) · Business entity registration: PFITZER PEST CONTROL, LLC, Limited Liability Company - Business - Foreign, formed in South Dakota; principal address 12861 293RD AVE, GLENHAM, SD · no. 0000169181 · status: Inactive - Involuntary; Not Good Standing (AR and RA standing not good); inactive date 07/09/2020; AR due date 11/15/2019 ## Legal and regulatory record - No legal or regulatory records on file. ## Mentions, awards and claims ### Mentions - [Pfitzer Pest Control - Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce member listing](http://sheridanwyomingchamber.chambermaster.com/list/member/pfitzer-pest-control-7768) (Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce · directory): Chamber member directory entry for the Wyoming operation, with a Ranchester P.O. box and a 307-461-9268 phone. ### Awards - NPMA (National Pest Management Association) membership (NPMA) ## On Reddit - Reddit hasn’t been searched for this company yet. ## Locations - States with a location on file: South Dakota and Wyoming. - Cities: Sheridan, Wyoming, Gillette, Wyoming, Mobridge, South Dakota, Aberdeen, South Dakota, Mitchell, South Dakota, Huron, South Dakota. ## 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). - 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). Verifier’s confidence by section: Identity high; Licensing medium; Legal and regulatory low; Customer reviews medium; BBB high; Employee reviews low; Mentions medium; Sales model medium. ### 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. ## Head-to-head comparisons - [Presto-X Pest Control vs. Pfitzer Pest Control](https://handshakereviews.com/compare/presto-x-pest-control-vs-pfitzer-pest-control.md) - [Pfitzer Pest Control vs. Insight Pest Solutions](https://handshakereviews.com/compare/pfitzer-pest-control-vs-insight-pest-solutions.md) - [Pfitzer Pest Control vs. Defend Pest Solutions](https://handshakereviews.com/compare/pfitzer-pest-control-vs-defend-pest-solutions.md) - [Pfitzer Pest Control vs. Fox Pest Control](https://handshakereviews.com/compare/pfitzer-pest-control-vs-fox-pest-control.md) - [Pfitzer Pest Control vs. Kodiak Pest Control](https://handshakereviews.com/compare/pfitzer-pest-control-vs-kodiak-pest-control.md) - [Pfitzer Pest Control vs. Best Pest Control (Casper)](https://handshakereviews.com/compare/pfitzer-pest-control-vs-best-pest-control-casper.md) - [Pfitzer Pest Control vs. Peak Pest Solutions](https://handshakereviews.com/compare/pfitzer-pest-control-vs-peak-pest-solutions.md) ## Common questions about Pfitzer Pest Control ### Is Pfitzer Pest Control licensed?
