## Also operates in Utah

These companies have a location on file in Utah but not enough in-state evidence to be ranked here.

- [X Out Pest Services](https://handshakereviews.com/companies/x-out-pest-services.md): 14 Google reviews in Utah (100 needed to be ranked).

## 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 Utah, only the Utah 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: Utah 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 Utah’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 Utah and at least 100 Google reviews on its Utah listings. Companies with a location here but less in-state evidence are listed under “Also operates in Utah.”

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 Utah. It isn’t every pest control company in Utah, and we may add more.

### Where the evidence comes from in Utah

- Customer satisfaction: in-state for every ranked company.

## Common questions

### What is the best pest control company in Utah?

[Western Pest Control review](https://handshakereviews.com/companies/western-pest-control.md) · [Bulwark Exterminating review](https://handshakereviews.com/companies/bulwark-exterminating.md) · [Elevate Pest Control review](https://handshakereviews.com/companies/elevate-pest-control.md)

### How is the Utah 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 Utah ranking uses the State Score, which counts Utah 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 Utah listings to be ranked here.

### Which companies operate in Utah but aren’t ranked here?

X Out Pest Services. It has a location on file in Utah but too little in-state evidence to rank: a company needs at least 100 Google reviews on its Utah listings.

No. This ranking covers the companies we’ve researched and verified in Utah. It isn’t every pest control company in Utah, and we may add more. Companies with a location here but less in-state evidence are listed as also operating in Utah.
