  I was contacted by a sales rep from EcoShield in summer of 2023. He approached re: how many of my neighbor's had already signed up for services. I was told the charge would be $169,00 and I would get service each quarter. I was on auto pay and the bank notified that the account had been paid in ful.. I was mislead that it was a YEARLY charge and not a quarterly charge. Nor was the cancellation that supposedly was in the contract was not explained. I had a lengthy conversation with their office (supervisor?) who stated that due to wanting to cancel before my last 2 treatments that I would be charged the cancellation fee which and the 2 payments for last 2 treatments. He tried to "negotiate" by lowering my charge for the last 2 treatments to $109.00. They are a misleading and unethical company who DO NOT FULLY explain details upon 1sy meeting them and then they provide a product that is inadequate. I am a senior citizen and disabled vet who cannot afford to be misled and treated the way I was treated for "signing up" to Cancellation attempt.

  I signed up for the Eco shield quarterly subscription on 8/14/23. When servicing my second service, I had to reschedule 3 times as the no call no showed. Recently, on 11/28, an Eco shield employee entered my property unannounced. My next scheduled service was on December 5th. In talking with the company, they did confirm that an employee entered the property. The employee nor the company made me aware that someone would be on the property. The lack in communication has made me lose trust and decided to cancel the service. Eco Shield has now charged by $241 to cancel. I feel this charge is not justifiable as this cancellation reflects on the business and should not be put back on me.

  Hi ****,
  
  First and foremost, we would like to express our gratitude for bringing your concerns to our attention. We understand how important it is to address such matters promptly and effectively.
  
  We want to offer our sincerest apologies for the incident involving ************** entering your backyard without an appointment. After conducting a thorough review, we determined that this was a result of human error on the technician's part. We want to assure you that this is not a common occurrence and was an isolated incident. We understand the impact it may have had, and we deeply regret any inconvenience caused.
  
  Regarding the $241 invoice, it represents the annual commitment discount that was extended to you when you initially signed up and agreed to complete our bi-monthly service plan. It's important to clarify that we only request this discount back if a customer decides to cancel the agreement prematurely.

  in August, this company agreed to provide 2 pest control treatments to my house. they completed one but never returned, and was difficult to schedule with. Their literature suggested that the second treatment, for maximum effectiveness, needed to be completed 2-3 weeks after the first, but they failed to return. I therefore cancelled the service via phone, and text message, as well as in person when they came to my house 6 weeks after (week of 10/16/23)they are still billing me. I have repeatedly cancelled the service.

  Hi *****,
  
  After a thorough review of your account, we have confirmed that our team conducted the egg cycle visit on 9/7/23. We can provide concrete verification of this through our GPS tracking system, which is installed in all of our technicians' vehicles.
  
  During the visit, it came to our attention that the technician did not have the necessary applicator to address the wasp nest near your garage. In light of this, we made the decision to provide the service to you at no charge as a goodwill gesture.
  
  Subsequently, we attempted to schedule a free follow-up visit to address the wasps for you. However, we understand that you declined future services at that time. Due to this change in the service agreement, the $150 annual commitment discount payback was added to your account.

  I am rejecting this response because: you were contracted to come out twice but only came out once. And because you failed to come back out you are charging $150 additionally?? N this is in addition to the $159 charges for the first two treatments, which were not fully completed 

   

  This is dishonest business practice. Please prove with gps tracking when you came out to my property and show in the contract agreement where you can charge an additional fee for not showing up or providing any service.

  I entered an agreement with EcoShield Pest Control on July 22, 2023 with the understanding that the first two services were required at a cost of $150.00 each, which I scheduled and paid for. I understood the services would continue every 3 months until cancelled. I cancelled the service on August 31, 2023. A letter was emailed to me stating I had an overdue balance, however, no additional services were ever scheduled. They claim I agreed to an annual service and that the $150.00 charge is a payback for the cancellation. I specifically told the technician I would not commit to annual services. I was handed a folder about the company and service but there was no hard copy of the agreement included. This has resulted in me being unable to read the "fine print" to determine the accuracy of their claims. The people doing the collection calls are aggressive and VERY difficult to understand.

  I have lived in my home four years and never had any pests in my home at all. The only reason I hired them was because they guaranteed they could get rid of the ants and the wasps outside. They came out 4 times over the spring and summer and never, ever did they resolve the problem. The ants were as problematic as always as were the wasps. The last time they came out, I even pointed out where the wasp's nest were located and they said they would take care of them. They did not! They didn't kill them and they didn't take down the nests. All they did was hang a wasp trap on my fence that caught a total of four wasps. They are going to try and say they are creating a barrier around my home and all that nonsense, but again, I only hired them to take care of the ants and wasps outside my home which they did not do at all. I have tried to cancel with them for 3 months now and they will not do it unless I pay a $150 cancellation fee. What's even worse than their service is their customer support. It took me 2 months to get a supervisor to call me back and that supervisor barely speaks English and will only threaten collections if I don't pay the cancellation fee. Well, contracts work both ways...I pay money for a service that meets what it guarantees. I should not have to pay for a service that is worthless and I should not have to pay a cancellation fee either. If anything, they should refund all my money for their worthless product and service.

  Hi *****,

  Thank you for reaching out through the Better Business Bureau to express your concerns about the services provided by our company. We take customer feedback seriously and appreciate the opportunity to address the issues you've raised.
  First and foremost, I apologize for any frustration you've experienced with our pest control services and customer support. It is our goal to provide efficient and effective solutions to all pest-related problems, and I'm sorry to hear that we have not met your expectations in this instance.

  Regarding the issue with ants around your home, I understand your dissatisfaction. Our service guarantee includes free touch-up visits to ensure customer satisfaction and effective pest control. From our records, it appears that we have provided one touch-up visit so far. We do want to clarify that wasps are a separate service, as outlined in the Service Agreement we've attached.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  Your statement is not true. You can use whatever terminology you like for your visits such as touch *** or whatever you would like to call them, but the fact is that you have been to my home 5 or 6 times and not once has the issue with the ants been resolved even after we brought it up multiple times. So you have not resolved the issue that you were originally hired to resolve. As far the wasps being separate...this is not true either. We were told that they would be removed and if you are now saying that is not the case, then why did your people already remove one of the other nests earlier in the summer and why did they hang a wasp catcher on my fence. They have provided wasp removal services already. They just halfway did the job.

  You have proven with all of your past visits that your company is not capable of doing the job properly, so another visit is just as worthless. Since you can not fulfill your end of the contract, it is only fair that you release me from the contract and give me a refund. I should not be required to fulfill my end when you have not fulfilled yours.

  Sincerely,

  BBB,

  Attached you can see that the customer has only had 3 regular quarterly service visits, and one free follow up. As part of our Service Agreement, our 100% guarantee is available to this customer in between his regular service visits. He has not had a regular quarterly service since 9/15/23 and it now outside his service window.

  I signed up for this service May 2023 after a salesperson visited me on multiple occasions, offering all kinds of discounts and offers. After the negotiation process, it seemed like there was very little risk in signing up for the service because I had the impression I could leave at any time if I wasn't satisfied.After the first service, I noticed almost no change at all in the insects around my house. I realized that the service probably didn't work very well, so I contacted them to cancel my account. I was under the impression that I could easily leave if it didn't work out, which is why I tried to cancel at this point.Well, they convinced me to stay by offering a touch-up appointment, which I agreed to. After the touch up appointment, I realized that the service still wasn't working well for **** tried to cancel several times by contacting them over email and using the contact form. I was told to contact their customer service line, which was impossible to reach anyone. At this point, another service appointment was scheduled despite me wanting to cancel. I had no way to stop the service.Today, I tried to cancel the service, but it took me 20 minutes of essentially begging the customer rep to be told that he would cancel my account - he would not take "I'm not interested" as a valid answer. Then, I was told that I would be charged $150 to cancel my account! So now I have the outstanding balance from a service appointment that I didn't want and a cancelation fee that I didn't know about - totaling to $294! The sales rep made me think this was a low-risk subscription that I could easily leave without paying a fee. When I looked at my customer portal, there is no such document that details any sort of terms and conditions about a cancelation fee. I can't even find an email in my inbox with any kind of signed contract. If those terms were in any kind of agreement, the company clearly obfuscates this until it's too late to do anything about it.

  In May of 2023 a door to door salesman came to our door from Eco Shield pest Services saying our neighbors have signed up for their services for quarterly treatment. And that there was a major bug problem in our area. My husband and I said ok well have a treatment done. We were then informed that this had to be quarterly and indoor would be additional. We tried to cancel this and they are saying it will cost me $200 to have it cancelled after they do the quarterly spray for another $279. Their customer service is rude and condescending. I told them up front we didnt want a contract and wanted only to contact them as needed. Im on disability and a limited income and cant be paying for services I dont need. I need this canceled and then not to charge me a fee for cancellation since I didnt even know I had a contract.

  I signed up with EcoShield this summer when I had a sales member for the team ring my doorbell. I had told him I wasnt interested in signing the agreement initially and he told me I could cancel at anytime. After much persistence on the sales members side, I signed the agreement after he stated twice that I could cancel at anytime free of charge. I have been very unhappy with their service as they came a time I said I wasnt in town and needed to cancel. They came anyways and only sprayed the exterior, not the interior or garage as I wasnt in town. However, they charged me the full fee even though only exterior was completed. They sprayed, then a week later I saw a black widow outside of the garage where they had supposedly sprayed. I called the company and didnt hear back for a week. I asked that they cancel my service as I havent been impressed with the companys communication or product- I have seen way more spiders compared to my old company I was using! A month later- I get a text saying they are scheduled to come out and spray AGAIN. I called them and yet again, asked for my service to be cancelled. They informed me that I am unable to cancel as I signed a 2 year agreement. I explained to them that I was told TWICE that I can cancel at anytime. I asked to speak to a manager and was on hold for over 10minutes and wasnt able to wait as I had to go into a work meeting. I explained I would NEVER have signed this if I wasnt told I could cancel at ANYTIME. I want this service cancelled right away as I was told I could do so. Please help get this rectified. THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM

  Hi ******,
  
  I appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns. I want to provide some clarification regarding the pricing structure for our services. The quoted price per visit primarily covers the exterior service of the home, and interior services are complimentary upon a customer's request.
  
  In recognition of your situation and to alleviate any frustration, we have decided to waive the $150 balance associated with canceling prematurely. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. I want to assure you that there are no additional charges, and your account is now closed.

  Signed up for service on or around August 21, 2023. First service was only half done and was provided a $50 credit on next service with ********** in ******** - salesperson. Next service was performed on or around Sept 28. My bill did not reflect the credit. They were notified it was incorrect multiple times:1. Oct 1 at 11:01 AM MT - email reply to original invoice 2. Oct 13 at 9:36 AM MT - remail reply to your "reminder" my bill was due, indicating you had not replied to my Oct 1 email OR correctly billed me 3. Friday, Oct 13 at 9:02 AM via test - reply to text ***************** 4. Oct 28 via email 5. Oct 29 via text to **********, again on Oct 30 6. Verbally to ****** on Oct 27 7. Via Text on Oct 27 8. Via email on Oct 27 9. Oct 28 via text As well as multiple other times. I know they actively check text and emails as I have gotten replies on service reminders. They are choosing to ignore me and try to bully me into overpaying.I have tried to contact their CFO and CEO, no response. There is no way to reach a local office, and calling them to ask for an escalation does nothing. I have repeatedly told them that 1-They are no longer authorized to contact me in any way except writing, yet they continually call at least once, if not twice a day. I have told them I want details, in writing, how to cancel my service. They do not respond.I have also told them they are not authorized to perform any further work at my home.
