# The Best Pest Control Companies in Montana

By [Uri Mittelman](https://handshakereviews.com/authors/uri-mittelman.md), Editor · Research and verification: Handshake Research Desk · Updated November 5, 2026

It counts Montana evidence where the record has it: Google reviews and pesticide licenses, plus the company’s whole record for the rest.

## How we ranked

The State Score runs from 0 to 10 with the same factors and weights as the Handshake Score. For each factor, when a company’s research record ties evidence to Montana, only the Montana evidence counts and the table marks the factor In-state. When it can’t, the factor uses the company’s whole record and is marked Company-wide. Licensing and the legal record can be marked In-state + company-wide: Montana records count together with federal and multi-state ones.

The review-volume and verification-depth adjustment from the overall score applies too, with its thresholds scaled to the size of Montana’s Google review market on file compared with the Pacific Northwest’s, where the thresholds were set. How many states, or how many locations, a company has doesn’t change its State Score.

To be ranked, a company needs a location on file in Montana and at least 100 Google reviews on its Montana listings. Companies with a location here but less in-state evidence are listed under “Also operates in Montana.”

Ties are broken by in-state Google review volume. A factor with no usable inputs is left out and the other weights are scaled up, exactly as in the overall score. The Handshake Score on each company’s page rates its whole operation in the region it is scored in and also takes points off a company with fewer than 10 locations of its own, which a State Score doesn’t.

This ranking covers the companies we’ve researched and verified in Montana. It isn’t every pest control company in Montana, and we may add more.

### How is the Montana State Score different from the Handshake Score?

The Handshake Score on each company’s page rates its whole operation in the region it is scored in. The Montana ranking uses the State Score, which counts Montana evidence where the record has it (Google reviews and pesticide licenses) and the company’s whole record for the rest. A company needs at least 100 Google reviews on its Montana listings to be ranked here.
