## Contracts and sales practices

- Door-to-door badge: Yes.
- Sales notes: Door-to-door is the main residential sales channel: a current (Oct 2026) Provo, Utah sales-rep posting describes 100% commission neighborhood outreach and out-of-market “blitz” travel with lodging; the company’s own BBB replies refer to its “door-to-door representatives”; BBB’s pattern-of-complaints alert and hundreds of complaints describe reps at the door in Texas, Oklahoma, California, Minnesota, Colorado and Alabama. Also sells by phone/web (quote form, 844 number).
- Company terms: 3-business-day written cancellation right; if canceled after the initial service and before the agreement is completed, the customer pays the difference between the full and the discounted initial service price. (counted in the score)
- Company terms: after the agreement term, service continues at the same frequency until the customer cancels with 30 days’ written notice (automatic continuation). (counted in the score)
- Company terms include a liability waiver for damage from wood-infesting organisms and listed pests. No arbitration or class-action clause appears in the published “Customer Agreement Terms” excerpt; the full service agreement was not available.
- Company statement (BBB reply, 10/12/2026): the standard agreement is one year, and the initial-service discount is owed if the customer cannot complete it. (counted in the score)
- Company statement (BBB review reply, 10/09/2026): cancellation charge is the difference between the initial service charge and the discounted rate if canceled after the initial service and before all services in the agreement are completed; agreements are confirmed by signature and an audio-recorded “Welcome Call”. (counted in the score)
- Company statement (BBB review reply, 09/24/2026): cancellation requires a written request or email from the account holder, which places the account in “pending cancellation”; the company asks customers to speak with a Customer Advocate, and closes the account after a set number of unsuccessful contact attempts.
- Texas consumer information sheet on the website: 72-hour cancellation right for home-solicitation contracts if the initial service has not been performed.
- Plans: monthly, bi-monthly and quarterly general pest plans; regular treatments start 30 days after the initial service.
- Reported early-cancellation amounts (first-hand, BBB): $349 (Alyanna C., 09/22/2026), $258 (Kristen P., 10/03/2026), $200 paid (John R., 10/08/2026), $280 (Jonathan S., Carlsbad California profile, 07/28/2026), $380 (complaint 10/13/2026), $216 (10/05/2026), $430.84 (10/06/2026), $500 (termite, 10/12/2026), $351 initial discount owed (10/12/2026).

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

### Gaps in the record

- California SPCB: the DCA online search is behind a Cloudflare Turnstile check (not bypassed); the company registration and branch offices were verified instead from the SPCB bulk licensee file. California business-registry (bizfile) status not checked.
- Arlington, Texas office (3101 Pleasant Valley Ln, Tarrant County; Google 943 reviews) has no Tarrant County entry in the TDA commercial-business report; it may operate under another county license or be newer than the report. Not confirmed as a problem; not deducted.
- Oklahoma Secretary of State entity status not checked; ODAFF license 9489 categories/insurance not opened (AGLook company page not opened).
- Utah UDAF license is held by “White Knight Pest Control LLC”; its relation to White Knight Pest Control, Inc. was not confirmed.
- Texas Comptroller shows the corporation’s right to transact business FORFEITED (missing reports/payments) while SOS status is ACTIVE; forfeiture date not shown, SOS certificate not ordered.
- Justia returned HTTP 403, so the “Fair Labor Standards Act” label for Charles rests on a Justia search snippet. Whether the Charles and Johnson dismissals followed settlements is not shown.
- No state attorney general, FTC, TDA, CDA, MDA, ODAFF or SPCB enforcement action was found in searches (company name + “attorney general”, “consent order”, “settlement”, agency names); state AG and agency enforcement lists were not browsed directly.
- Yelp (HTTP 403), Glassdoor (Cloudflare block), ConsumerAffairs (block), Reddit (human check) and Facebook could not be read; Yelp Houston shows 306 reviews in a snippet but no rating. Glassdoor 3.3/82 is snippet-only. RepVue: no profile found. Angi, HomeAdvisor, Trustpilot, Thumbtack: no White Knight profile surfaced in searches.
- PestReviews.org shows “9,224 Verified Pest Control Reviews” for White Knight in a search snippet; it is a post-service survey feed tied to the company’s service software (company-solicited) and returned HTTP 503, so it is not recorded as a platform.
- BestCompany.com and consumersadvocate.org pages exist; not used.
- NPMA and Texas Pest Control Association memberships are company claims only; not verified on the associations’ sites. No QualityPro/GreenPro listing found.
- Google review excerpts come from the limited Maps view (3 reviews per listing plus summary quotes); star ratings per review were not shown. Excerpts were read for Houston NW, Golden Valley and Yorba Linda only.
- No Google listing was found for the Tempe, Arizona office or for Nevada; the company-wide Google base (40,721) mixes third-party crawl counts with two live reads.
- Searches used: 54 of 60.
- Licensing/registry for California (bizfile), Oklahoma (Secretary of State), Utah (Division of Corporations) and Arizona (Corporation Commission) business registries; pesticide licensing for all seven covered states is on file.
- Reddit r/northcounty and r/SanDiegan threads returned a “Prove your humanity” check on October 27, 2026; they remain search-snippet only and are not counted in sales and contract fairness.
- California county civil-penalty data covers incidents September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026 only, and the TDA enforcement report is a rolling 12-month window; older actions would not appear in either.
- BBB lists a Northglenn, Colorado branch profile (11480 Cherokee St Ste M) that is not on the company website; not added as a location.
- Minnesota Secretary of State re-read failed (connection reset) on October 27, 2026.

### Open questions

- Is “White Knight Pest Services” (SPCB PR 9412, and the CA county penalty respondent) the same legal entity as White Knight Pest Control, Inc.? BBB links them, but the California Secretary of State record was not checked.
- Utah UDAF license 4000-1343 is held by “White Knight Pest Control LLC”; its relation to the Texas corporation is unconfirmed.
- Did the Charles (FLSA) and Johnson dismissals follow settlements? The dockets show only stipulations of dismissal.
- Macias (TCPA) motion to dismiss was pending as of the last docket update; outcome to watch.
- When did the Texas franchise-tax forfeiture occur, and has it been cured? The Comptroller page shows no date.
- Arlington, Texas office has no Tarrant County TDA business license in the report; which license covers it?
