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.

• CDA finalized pesticide enforcement table SFY 2020 lists case 20170073, “ACE PEST CONTROL, INC.”, Adams County, Landmark Drive & 104th Ave., statutes § 35-10-117(1)(h) and § 35-10-117(2)(a), outcome STIP (stipulated agreement) dated 9/9/2019; the table gives no penalty amount. The respondent is a separate legal entity, not Whitmore. Whitmore acquired Ace Pest Control (Denver; owner Albert Rael) in November 2023; the Colorado SOS shows only one entity of that name, ACE PEST CONTROL INC. (Denver, voluntarily dissolved 11/6/2023), and “ACE PEST CONTROL” is now a DBA on Whitmore’s CDA license. Whether the 2019 respondent is that same entity is inferred from the name, not stated by CDA. Recorded as context; it predates the acquisition by four years and is not an action against Whitmore.^{37, 38, 39}
