Contracts and sales practices
Door-to-door sales: Yes
Door-to-door is the main sales channel: the company recruits seasonal traveling reps with furnished housing to knock doors, its own testimonial page describes the CEO selling door to door, and customers in Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Arizona and Utah/NM-scoped BBB files describe reps at the door. A second posting on the same careers page (Outside Sales Representative) is for “Prime Marketing”, which “sells pest control, lawn care, and other home services across 35+ states”; its relation to Prime Pest and Lawn is not stated.
“- Knock doors in residential neighborhoods to pitch pest control and lawn solutions.”

Warning about Prime Pest and Lawn's dishonest sales practices in Utah and Colorado Springs
An anonymous Grand Junction, Colorado resident warns that Prime reps make dishonest statements at the door, including that the company has no contracts and will pay a customer’s cancellation fee with another pest company.
“Their sales people are making dishonest statements to get sales. They are advising they will pay your cancellation with a pest company if you have service elsewhere. They also tell you they have no contracts.”

Gaps in the record
- New Mexico pesticide licensing: not looked up (NMDA lookup terms restrict commercial use). New Mexico business registry read.
- Texas: no TDA commercial-business license under any Prime name for Travis County (Austin office, 2711 Daisy Dr) or for the Amarillo/Wichita Falls/Midland/Odessa service areas named on the site and careers page; the Austin office may operate under one of the two listed licenses or another name. Recorded as a gap, not a deduction (TDA rule).
- Texas: TDA enforcement report (spcs_enforcement.xls, 27 Oct 2026) has no row for Prime Pest and Lawn or its LLC names. Texas SOSDirect (paid) not used; Comptroller pages read instead. Comptroller record 32088146447 (a second PRIME PEST AND LAWN EL PASO LLC) did not load twice.
- Texas Comptroller shows the right to transact business FORFEITED for Prime Pest and Lawn SW LLC, Austin LLC and Corporate LLC; forfeiture dates and whether they were cured were not available.
- Arizona: ACC business search has an image CAPTCHA (OpenCorporates used). The Tucson office is not registered as an OPM branch office; Lake Havasu and Kingman are service areas with no address. Arizona AG complaints are confidential.
- Colorado: Grand Junction appears as a service area and a Colorado SOS trade name of Prime Pest and Lawn SW LLC, with no separate CDA license record and no office address; not added to locations.
- Oklahoma: Secretary of State search blocked (Turnstile); OpenCorporates us_ok search returned no readable result. OSCN party search “Prime Pest” found no records.
- Utah: Division of Corporations search gated by Cloudflare Turnstile; legal names from OpenCorporates. UDAF enforcement history needs a GRAMA request (not published). Utah state courts (Xchange) are fee-based.
- BBB Tucson, Arizona file: the profile URL returns 404, so its complaint count and reviews are unknown (rating F from search results). HQ reviews page 4 (5 of 35 reviews) not loaded; 61 of 87 HQ complaints are not displayed by BBB.
- Contract terms: the service agreement itself and any website terms were not found (the site’s “Terms & Conditions” link opens the privacy/SMS policy). Term, renewal, notice and fee details come from company replies on BBB and customer reports; arbitration/class-waiver terms unknown.
- Yelp blocked (HTTP 403); a search snippet shows a Las Cruces Yelp listing with 16 reviews but no rating, so nothing recorded. Angi, Thumbtack, Trustpilot and Facebook ratings not found. A HomeAdvisor “Prime Pest & Lawn” profile in Layton, Utah (5.0, 7 reviews; “9 years of experience”) could not be tied to this company and was not used.
- Reddit pages show a human check; r/ColoradoSprings thread recorded from a search snippet only. Facebook posts beyond the public Grand Junction post were not readable.
- State AG and court searches: New Mexico DOJ, Colorado AG and Utah AG site searches, CourtListener and OSCN returned nothing about Prime Pest and Lawn. No statewide free trial-court search in Texas, Colorado and Arizona (CAPTCHA) or Utah; NM Case Lookup not used (disclaimer requires operator approval). OSHA establishment search blocked by a human check.
- Employee reviews: Indeed has 1 review, Glassdoor 0; RepVue and Comparably profiles not found. Workplace score cannot be computed (<20 reviews).
- Ownership: no evidence of private-equity or franchise ownership found; whether regional LLCs (e.g. Prime Pest and Lawn SW LLC, managed by Paul Kelley and Todd Skousen) are partner-owned was not verified. A 2024 company reply on BBB said “We do not have anything to do with the NM customers” (HQ file), suggesting separately run regional operations.
- Prime Pest Omaha (Facebook page, Nebraska/Iowa, primepestandlawnomaha gmail address) and the South Carolina operation (separate BBB file with different management) could not be tied to Prime Pest and Lawn ownership with certainty.
- Google review excerpts: the sort menu did not open, so excerpts come from the default order; 4 of 12 listings checked live.
- Verification October 27, 2026: the BBB Tucson, Arizona profile still returns 404 (rating F shown in BBB search results, re-confirmed); its complaint count stays unknown and is not in the complaint record sum.
- Verification October 27, 2026: the Austin Google listing reads 4.7 / 148 live vs the third-party snapshot 4.6 / 127, and Roswell 4.8 / 376 vs 4.9 / 375.
Open questions
- Whether the BBB HQ file can include complaints from the South Carolina operation (one of the company’s “7 states”): BBB lists only Salt Lake City Utah, Las Cruces New Mexico and Roswell New Mexico as its locations and its service area as Salt Lake County, Utah, and no displayed complaint names a state outside the West, so it is treated as region-scoped; 61 of 87 complaints are not displayed.
- Whether Prime Pest and Lawn SW LLC (holder of TDA license 0928475, Comptroller right to transact FORFEITED, SOS NOT REGISTERED) was ever registered with the Texas SOS; a paid SOSDirect search would settle it.
- Whether a hearing was requested on Arizona case 101212 (the search lists it as adjudicated 08/12/2025 and the license stayed Active, consistent with payment).
