Arizona Department of Agriculture, Office of Pest Management

Citation, case 101259 (adjudicated 06/01/2026): AZDA found that Insight Pest Control Vegas, LLC engaged in the business of pest management in Yuma without an OPM business license or registered qualifying party (A.R.S. § 3-3624(A)(1) and (2)). The complaint (02/09/2026) came from an industry member whom an Insight representative solicited at his home; the QP told the inspector the company began operating in Yuma in January 2026 and believed it was covered by an existing license because “Insight operates as a franchise across multiple states”. A business license (10671) was issued 04/02/2026. The published 4-page scan is incomplete: page 1 ends and pages 2 and 4 begin mid-sentence, page 3 holds only the director’s signature (6-1-2026), and page 4 is the hearing-rights notice (“the above citation and order shall be deemed final”). The order and any penalty section are not in the scan, so whether a civil penalty was imposed is unknown. The complaint-search row lists license number 0 (no license at the time).^{5, 110}
