How many complaints against Terminix have been filed in Kansas?  How does the State of Kansas rate as a public agency in providing information to the public and/or in their own knowledge of the pest control companies that spray toxic chemicals in homes?

On December 7, 1998, I sent an e-mail letter to the State of Kansas requesting the following information:

1. The number of Terminix branches operating in the state of Kansas.
2. The number of complaints filed against Terminix with Kansas’ licensing/regulatory agency and during what time period.
3. The name of the licensing/regulating agency in Kansas.

After receiving no response, I sent a letter on February 22, 1999, to the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Pesticide Section, requesting the following:

1. What is the name and address of Kansas’ pest inspection/pest control licensing and regulating agency?

2. How many years does Kansas’ licensing and regulating agency maintain records of complaints against pest control/pest inspection companies?

3. How many Terminix branches are currently operating in Kansas?  (My records, taken from the Yellow Pages on the Internet, indicate there are 17 Terminix, aka Terminix International branches operating in Kansas.)

4. How many complaints, if any, have been filed in Kansas against Terminix International (and its aka’s); including the nature of the complaints, name and location of Terminix branch involved; and disposition of complaints (dismissed, settled, fine, suspended or revoked license, probation, etc.)?

To date, there has been no response.
