## 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.

- Resolved $3.15 million civil settlement with Terminix International Inc. and Rentokil North America, Inc. over pesticide and hazardous-waste disposal and customer-record handling at California facilities (Western Exterminator / Terminix names). Names the parent legal entity that licenses Presto-X but no Presto-X branch, brand or covered-state facility; recorded for context, not scored for Presto-X (ruling October 28, 2026: actions naming only a parent).
