            Hoskins sales rep scammed us out of $900. After three attempts, we have not received a callback from anyone at Hoskins even after being told that our request to speak to someone was shared with two local managers and one district manager. Called Hoskins because I had a black spot developing on the ceiling (dry wall). Hoskins sales rep went up into the space and said it was a dead rat that was decomposing into the drywall. Hoskins sales rep also said there were many rats crawling all over the place while he was up there. "A couple of them even waived at me as they ran around." When I asked the sales rep if they could set traps and get rid of the rats, he replied: not without signing a contract to plug any holes that may exist have weekly visits until all the rats were gone. He further added Hoskins simply doesn't just catch and dispose of rats, they have to sell you this service. I purchased the service and a year of maintenance for around $900. Hoskin's service rep came out every couple of days to set & reset traps. However, they never caught a single rodent and the traps where never tripped after at least a few weeks. Service rep commented that there were absolutely zero signs of rats or other rodents. Then, we found out from the drywall repair rep that black spot in the sealing was mold from condensation on a air duct damaged when a electrician was in the space - I have pictures of this and the drywall repair rep will back this up

            I used to like this company, but when you have problems, you end up talking to an agent and the agent trys to talk you out of having someone come out and see what the problem is. They have just gotten too big and they really don't care
