How they score
The Handshake Score is a weighted average of five factors, each scored from 0 to 10 from verified records. The percentage beside each factor is its weight. Each score links to the deductions behind it on the company’s review.

Workplace
We rate how companies treat employees from employee-review sites and wage-and-hour records. A workplace score is computed and carries 10% of the Handshake Score when there are at least 20 employee reviews on file (otherwise excluded and remaining weights renormalized).

Contract terms
Terms as recorded from the linked sources.
Presto-X Pest Control 3 terms
PestFree365+ is the residential plan: “a year round pest protection plan for your home” covering 39+ common pests; the page publishes no price, minimum term, renewal, cancellation or arbitration terms.11
Promotion: $50 off a new PestFree365+ plan with code SAVE50 (company promotion, not a contract term).5
The only legal page on the site is a “Legal statement” covering use of the website (copyright, accuracy, no investment offer). It contains no service agreement, cancellation, renewal or arbitration terms, so the service-contract terms are unpublished.2
Greenix Pest Control 7 terms
Company-stated (website Terms of Use, section 3 “Recurring Services”, effective 7 Nov 2025; the section covers the pest-control service, not website use): recurring service continues until canceled and may renew automatically. Also company-stated in its BBB reply of 09/14/2026: services continue on a non-contractual basis until the customer notifies Greenix to discontinue.6, 7
Company-stated cancellation method: “contacting Greenix directly”; effective once a representative confirms; “may be subject to terms in the service agreement”. Not phone-only wording. The fee, minimum term and any arbitration clause sit in the separate signed service agreement, which is not published.7
The Terms of Use only govern use of the website (governing law Utah; disputes in Utah County courts). They contain no arbitration or class-waiver clause for service contracts, and the signed service agreement is not published, so the arbitration term is unknown.7
Advertised pricing: general pest, rodent control and termite prevention “Starting at $49.99/mo”; tick, flea and mosquito “Starting at $79.99/mo”; “pricing based on home size”.8
Guarantee: 48-hour service and free re-service between seasonal visits. BBB profile (Grimes, Iowa branch page) says free retreatments between quarterly services, and the last paid service is refunded if two retreatments fail (quarterly plans only).8, 9
Customer-reported, location not stated, pooled headquarters file: a complaint dated 10/10/2026 says the signed agreement was a “mandatory 12-month subscription at $69.99 per month plus tax” with a $299 early termination fee, and that a later agreement showed an initial term of “0 months” and a $249 cancellation fee. Not scored: no West location in the text.4
Customer-reported, pooled headquarters file: three more first-page complaints (Sept-Oct 2026) describe a $299 cancellation fee and one a $399 fee, one after a single service visit. Pages 2-4 add more $249, $299 and $300 fee reports and 12- and 18-month term reports. Only one of these reports is tied to a West state: the 09/29/2026 Minnesota complaint ($299 plus tax).4
