A worker from Fox Pest, soliciting in our neighborhood, stole two pairs of my four-year-old's sunglasses from our front yard--he threw one pair into our neighbor's yard and pocketed the other pair (this is all on our Ring camera). Additionally, we have requested numerous times that Fox Pest stop soliciting our home, which they often do late at night when our kids are trying to sleep, to no avail. We want our son's sunglasses returned and do not want to be bothered by Fox Pest ever again. Indeed, the sense of irony should not be lost that the people purporting to solve pest issues have become pests themselves.

Thank you for notifying our office of this complaint. We appreciate Mr. ********* reporting this incident so we can address it. Our Sales Manager confronted the door-to-door rep, and he admitted to taking the glasses. He stated the glasses are no longer in his possession, so our company will reimburse the *********s for their property. Our manager will contact them directly to arrange this payment.
We deeply apologize for this incident and for the frustration it caused the ********* family. This behavior is not in line with our company values, and disciplinary action is being taken. We wish the *********s the best going forward and hope they will reach out if we can do anything further to repair our relationship with them.
Sincerely,
******** ******

At 9:40 PM on the Night of Thursday, July 10th a Fox Pest Control representative came onto my property past my No Trespassing & No Solicitation Sign located at the front end of my driveway and proceed to lean his Segway on the side of my truck and continue to approach the front of my house as I was in my Garage.
I was unaware of whom this individual was and proceeded to close my garage door & look at my security cameras to determine the intent of this individual. This individual from Fox Pest Control upon my closing of my garage door proceeded to bang on my garage door three times and call out to me, to which I opened and noted that it was 9:40 PM at Night well past Normal Business Hours (well past the Penn Township Ordinances for Soliciting which clearly state “A supplier and its agents shall comply with local ordinances regarding door-to-door marketing and sales activities. A supplier shall limit door-to-door marketing or sales activities to the hours between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. during the 6 months beginning October 1 and ending March 31, and to the hours between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. during the months beginning April 1 and ending September 30.”) I informed this representative that I was Not Interested in anything he had to sell and asked him to leave my property.
This representative refused to leave my property and remove his Segway from leaning against the side of my truck, and proceeded to continue to Solicit business from me. I again, informed this representative of Fox Pest Control that he was trespassing on my property and he had ignored Two (2) No Trespassing & No Solicitation signs on my property.
I was verbally harassed for another handful of minutes while continuing to instruct this individual that he was Not Welcome & that I was Trespassing him from my property and that if he did not leave I would be contacting local law enforcement to get involved to remove this individual from my property, after which he gathered his Segway and left my property.Business Response

Complaint: 23564703
I am rejecting this response because:You did not address the harassment we received by your salesman, nor the total lack of service and dishonesty by your service technician.
lled for the service they did not perform. I called to have that refunded, which it was, however I still had an account balance. I had to call back to get the balance zeroed out and for an official cancellation email to be sent to me. The salesman texted me multiple times accusing me of lying in my review in an extremely unprofessional manner. Even after I blocked him and told him to not contact me, he continued to message me. Buyer Beware!

Thank you for notifying us of this complaint. We regret that ****** experience with our company was dissatisfactory. I reviewed the account and verified that the service has been cancelled and a full refund was provided. Yesterday, our Branch Manager left a message with an additional apology, so this may have been the message **** saw. We will refrain from sending any further messages as requested, and we wish **** the best going forward.

Thank you for notifying us of this complaint. We regret the disappointing experience the *******s had with their service, and we are committed to making things right. Our Branch Manager reviewed their service records and approved a full refund. This was applied to the credit card on file, and the funds should be available within 3-5 business days. We have also closed the *******s' account as requested and waived the early termination fee. A confirmation email was sent to *******'s gmail. We hope these actions will help us part ways on better terms, and we encourage the *******s to contact our office if we can provide any assistance.

Thank you for notifying us of this complaint. We apologize for the inadequate communication ******** received from our representative. We have cancelled her service as requested, and no early termination fee was charged. The $450 quote for the initial treatment was the amount prior to promotional discounts. She was only charged the discounted rate of $99 plus tax. We are sorry for any inconvenience this experience caused and hope ******** will reach out if she has any further questions or concerns. If she ever wishes to resume treatments, we will be happy to work with her again and will ensure all service details are fully reviewed in advance.
