# PestPin

> PestPin (pestpin.com) is a U.S. pest control directory and marketplace. Every
> listed company is matched to an official state pesticide or pest-control regulator record
> marked active when its official source was processed. Source publication and
> refresh timing vary by regulator. Homeowner requests are offered to one eligible
> provider at a time and are never resold to competing providers.

Key facts:
- 23,490 business records matched to licenses or registrations marked active across 35 regulator source systems (states and DC) and 5,174 cities (directory snapshot processed 2026-11-03; source publication timing varies).
- Listings come only from official state licensing or registration sources (public records), never scraped reviews.
- Directory records are reprocessed on recurring schedules; regulator publication timing varies.
- Reviews require a request-linked token after a provider accepts the introduction and are moderated before publication.
- Free for homeowners. Businesses can claim a basic listing at no charge. Approved providers with enough existing or founding credit can accept a general-pest lead for $29 or a termite or bed bug lead for $99. When the billing launch gate is off, self-service credit purchases and placement-plan checkout are unavailable.
