Full analysis
Overview
The website is a Spanish-language local pest-control business page for Father and Son Pest Control, presenting residential, commercial, and industrial extermination services across the island, a free-estimate contact route, and a guarantee covering its services.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The website’s own content presents a conventional local-service model rather than a phishing, investment, payment, or credential-harvesting operation. The homepage contains no login form, sensitive submission form, wallet connection, or external payment flow, and no on-page brand-impersonation indicator was identified. However, this benign presentation is materially outweighed by external threat intelligence showing malicious detections and a confirmed blacklist status from two sources. The site therefore carries a significant risk for sensitive interaction despite the absence of an apparent abuse mechanism on the page. Positive counter-signals include a long-established registration record and a consistent local-service presentation, but they do not resolve the external reputation contradiction.
- Homepage: Spanish-language service description for cockroaches, ants, mice, fleas, ticks, and termites, with a stated service guarantee and no login or payment form.
- External reputation: 2 malicious detections and 2 suspicious detections were recorded; the domain is confirmed on 2 external blacklist sources.
- Domain registration: Registered 2013-06-24, approximately 13.16 years old, with registration continuity to 2027-06-24.
- Historical record: First seen 2014-02-09 and last seen 2025-07-11, with 12 years tracked.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The available homepage supports an apparent pest-control service business, but the real-world operator identity is not independently verified. The site does not present a licensing authority or license number, leaving the authorization status of the service provider unclear; this is a regulatory-transparency gap rather than, by itself, evidence of a scam. The domain uses a mainstream registrar, and its transport security and hosting are technically established, although those controls do not validate the operator or its regulatory standing.
- Homepage: Identifies “Father and Son Pest Control,” describes service coverage for residences, businesses, and industries, and does not state a licensing authority or license number.
- Registration record: Registrar identified as GoDaddy.com, LLC; creation date 2013-06-24 and expiration date 2027-06-24.
- Hosting infrastructure: Served from AS54641, operated by IMH-IAD - InMotion Hosting, Inc., US.
- Transport encryption: TLS certificate issued by YR2 using DV validation, valid to 2026-10-18.
What to Verify Next
Before any appointment, contract, or payment, the business name and contact details should be confirmed through an independent offline route and matched against applicable local business and pest-control authorization records. The stated service guarantee should be obtained in written form, including exclusions, refund terms, treatment scope, and the legal entity responsible for performance. Any estimate should identify the contracting party, service address, payment recipient, and complaint or remediation process before funds are transferred.
- Homepage: Offers a free estimate and states that all services are guaranteed; written terms should be requested before engagement.
- Homepage: States that services cover residential, commercial, and industrial customers across the island; the claimed operating area can be checked against independent business records.
- Homepage: Provides direct contact details for booking estimates; those channels should be independently corroborated before sensitive information is shared.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is low trust, with a high-consequence concern for sensitive interaction. The site’s straightforward business presentation and established technical footprint are insufficient to offset the confirmed external reputation contradiction, while operator identity and authorization remain unresolved.
Infrastructure Integrity
The website is protected by a CDN/WAF, with observed edge IPs 13.248.169.48 and 76.223.54.146 on AS16509, alongside a potential origin candidate. This architecture provides a mitigating layer against direct exposure, but CDN/WAF protection is not evidence of business legitimacy.
Closing Assessment
The appropriate posture is read-only review until independent identity, authorization, and service-contract checks are completed; credentials and payment details should not be submitted through or in response to this site without those checks.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about fspestcontrol.com at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.
TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
