  Agressive/Deceptive sales practices: Salesman used my neighbors name to convince my wife to sign a service agreement. We recently found out after discussing the poor service we were receiving that the neighbor had never used their service.By poor service I mean a truck shows ** in the driveway, guy gets out and wipes cobwebs he can reach for 5 minutes and leaves. Never gets all webs/debris, but the bill comes every month I called to cancel service and the girl on the phone states that although our contract ends at the end of the month, we will need to take additional action to cancel the service

  Thank you for informing us of this complaint. We are sorry that the customer is unhappy with the quality of his service. Our Home Protection Plans include free re-services to address any concerns, but we never received any communication from the customer that he was unhappy with his service. We apologize if he was not aware re-services were available to him. We have now closed the customer's account as requested so he will not receive any further services from us. There is an unpaid balance on the account still due, which the customer may take care by phone or through his Customer Portal, which he can find on his emailed invoice.

  This complaint is regarding door to door solicitation and ignorance of representative on behalf of Fox Pest Control;- I have asked this company multiple times when they have come to my house for solicitation to please stop coming as they disrupt the day. When they come and knock on the door the dog gets excited, they wake the baby up, they disrupt my work day as I work from home, and they disrupt home tutoring sessions for my other child - After many unsuccessful attempts at addressing the issue when they come to my house I called the home office myself - A representative whom stated his name was ****** responded to my complaint by asking me if I had a sign on my door that said "no solicitation"- I should not have to put a sign on my door when I've personally tried to address this issue with the representing company themselves, several times. - "******" continued to give me passive and rude responses to my request in which his final statement was "ok, I'll take care of it" and hung up the phone- this man not once asked me for my address, my name, or any other identifying information - I called the company back not minutes later and was given the run around, eventually forwarded to a voicemail- no return call, no explanation, no apology- nothing - I would like a return call and I would like them to stop coming to my house for solicitation purposes, without the company basically giving me an ultimatum if I choose not to put a no solicitation sign on my front door.

  This company does not perform the work they tell you they do. The last visit they said they did 3 different types of applications but in reality they did only one of those applications. Also the lady I spoke to basically told me I was lying and said the tech was there for 35 minutes but my video proved that wrong. He was here just under 10 minutes and spent 5 of those minutes at his truck and stealing water from my hose which he did not have permission to do so. When they were called out on this with video proof they had no option but to accept they were caught. I have reviewed the last 3 visits and the same exact thing has happened. I pay $64 a month for this service. I would like a full refund of my last 14 payments to this company. I can only imagine all the customers they have and get away with this type of misleading and lying to paying customers. I called to cancel and they tell me they can't cancel until I talk to a service manager.

  Thank you for informing us of this complaint. After the customer contacted our office about these issues, our Branch Manager, *****, went to his home and performed a full exterior inspection. She deduced that the previous service had not been thorough, and she had another technician perform a complete re-service. The customer was not home at this time, so ***** spoke with him by phone about the re-service and the issues he had experienced. ***** also approved a refund of the customer's last 4 payments, totaling $255.24. Our office is mailing a check for this amount to the customer.
  We apologize for the insufficient service the customer previously received, and we wish to assure him that such service is below our standards as well and not in line with our company ethics. We will work to ensure any future treatments the customer receives are thorough and satisfactory. If there is any additional assistance we can provide the customer, we encourage him to call our office.

  Last year in September a salesman knocked on our door promising *** would deliver the best pest control ridding us of any pest we had including spiders, roaches, and mosquitos guaranteed. Needless to say they havent rid my household of any pest and was told that mosquito control is not included in my services after signing the contract. I have complained several times and was talked out of canceling my contract. Someone only came once to spray outside of contracted services after seeing huge recluse spiders and we still had issues. I asked to get out of my contract but was told I would be charged so I stayed. Now we are seeing small roaches everywhere on top of the other issues. I called and explained that I would like to cancel to try another company. The rep told me that they could send someone out but will not let me out of my contract unless I pay 150. I explained that I have allowed them to attempt to retire these issues now for almost a whole year to no avail. The rep ***** seem to care so I asked to speak to someone else. He told me he was the only one there. I asked where is the office located. He said in ****! But the numbers Ive used to contact people are all local!

  Thank you for notifying us of this customer's complaint. We regret that we have not yet resolved the customer's pest issues and are eager to address this. Our Branch Manager, *******, has been attempting to reach the customer to set up a time to personally inspect the customer's home and determine how we can improve her results. This visit would free of charge. We encourage the customer to please call our office at her earliest convenience to set up this appointment. If our Branch Manager determines we will not be able to resolve the customer's pest issues, we will discontinue her service and waive the early termination fee. We hope to hear from the customer soon.

  I have been using Fox Pest Control for 4 years. From the very start, I have had them treat the outside, inside the basement and laundry room and the Shed outside that is attached to my house. I always have to schedule an appt on a Sat that I am off, so I can let them inside the house. I arranged to have them come on Sat. 7/30/22 between 9am-12p. I live at the end of a dead end and have clear visibility to the front and back of the house. When someone pulls up, I know it. My car was in the driveway. I waited and waited and at 12:15p when no one showed up, I called the company who told me they came at 9:15am.I told them I was home, I kept looking out the windows in anticipation of their coming. The protocol is they call 30 min's before to let the customer know they are on their way. I never received a call, they never came inside, nor did they go into the shed to treat the shed.They are demanding full payment of $156. I cancelled any further treatments and graciously offered to pay half the amount for a partial treatment. I work 6 days a week and my time is limited. They told me they could come back another day, but would not give me a more exact time they would be there, therefore, I would once again have to waste half a day waiting around, when I already did that. They are refusing to take partial pay for a partial treatment and expect me to commit to another half of a day waiting. I refuse to do that and am willing to pay for the partial treatment in the amount of $78. Again, they are demanding full payment and expecting me to be at the house without a specific time of their arrival other than a 4 hour window.

  Thank you for informing us of this customer's complaint. We apologize for the unsatisfactory service she received at her last treatment. We would be happy to return to the customer's home to complete the remainder of her service and address her concerns. However, since the customer has indicated this is not convenient for her, we are honoring her request and have decreased the service charge by half. The customer's account is currently closed, but if she ever wishes to resume service, we will be happy to work with her again and pledge to give her a better experience. We appreciate the loyalty she showed us for many years.

  A door to door sales person from FOX came to our home offering a one time price for pest control. They told us that they were offering this price because they were doing all our neighbors. they took our credit card, charged us for the service and now we are getting a reoccurring **** for 60 dollars a month. we were enrolled in a program that we were unaware of and they are not willing to cancel unless we pay a 150 dollar cancelation fee.

  I contacted Fox Pest Control to eradicate a yellow jacket nest and swarming yellow jackets in my back yard. When scheduling the appointment, the representative assured me that their treatment would address the issue fully. The Fox technician arrived at my home approx. 3:45 on Tuesday evening (August 2, 2022). He also assured me that the treatment would take care of the problem, but said that he would come back to check to make sure the yellow jackets were eradicated fully, and if not, he would provide a second treatment. He told me that it would take a few hours for the yellow jackets to die, but by the night of the treatment, they would be gone. It is now 3 days later, and the yellow jackets are continuing to swarm in that area in my back yard. It appears as though the treatment did nothing, and yet I was charged $250 dollars for it. When I contacted Fox Pest Control for a technician to come back out as the pests were still swarming, the representative told me that they dont provide a second visit, and that I would need to purchase their yearly package that provides ongoing treatment. I believe Fox Pest Control was deceptive in what both the representative and the technician told me. In addition, the treatment did NOT eradicate the yellow jacket, I now need to contact another pest control company to take care of this issue. I would like my $250 returned from Fox Pest Control.

  Thank you for informing us of this complaint. We apologize for the conflicting information the customer was given about her service. Our single treatment for wasps no longer comes with a warranty because we cannot guarantee full results with just one service. Some of our team members were unclear on this and misinformed the customer that a second treatment was included if the first did not eliminate the issue. Because of this miscommunication, we have refunded the customer $125 and apologized for the inconvenience. We have also clarified this policy with our team members. We appreciate the customer working with us to correct this issue.

  My 99 year old Mom had yellow Jackets getting into the house! We found the source. Called Fox Exterminating! Was given a $50 discount on initial visit and was led to believe that I would be charged $64 each of the three additional visits that would happen!When tech came and did a distant service for the bees which did not work, I was informed the cost was $64 monthly! I would not sign contract! There is a bees nest, not a rodent problem!In two days, the bees were still there! With the ineffective service performed by Fox, I would not call them back!I called another exterminator! They came! Took action both inside and out! In two days, came back and removed the nest!Due the quality and negligent service, I requested a refund of initial payment!.Kayla from Westchester Fox indicated that because I did not call them back with the complaint! Why would I call them back after I was told by the tech that the office will contact me to resolve the pricing issue! After a few days, and after receiving my payment receipt, I had to contact them!Their customer service is lacking and they need to address how their service is represented! I feel a refund is in order

We are therefore waiving the charge for the service that was performed. The customer previously paid for the service with a check, but it has not yet been processed by our billing department. The balance has now been waived, and the customer's check will be shredded. Her account is closed, and no further services or billing will be rendered. If there is any other assistance we can provide the cusotmer, we encourage her to call our office.

  Canceled my service after one year which was 4 visits in which all had problems. The first visit and the reason I called fox pest control was for ********* ants, I needed a follow-up visit because the ants were getting worse which I had to wait 6 weeks for an appointment with they canceled and was told it's going to be 2 more weeks in which I had to take care of the ants myself and buy my own products. I also never received the service in which they go through the crawl space and knock down all cobwebs. On my second visit in the fall, I asked if they could put out mouse traps and bait stations before the harvest of the cornfield next to my house in which I was told it's an additional $25 for each trap or bait station. Again I just took care of the problem myself it's ridiculous to pay $25 for a mousetrap. On my third visit, the technician put some sticky in my crawl space in which he left the paper covers in the crawl space which easily could have clogged and ruined my sub pump which would have resulted in flooding of my crawl space. I have a camera in my crawl space to monitor the water level which is how I noticed the garbage left behind in my crawlspace. On the fourth visit, I asked for them to treat for wasps but they only treated the areas that currently have wasp or common locations that you point out to them. However, the wasp just moved their nest several feet over, which was treated and never solved the issue. And in order to have Fox pest control come out and treat again there is a 2-week minimum in which I cannot wait that long in which a customer or one of the kiddos who are allergic to bees and wasps could get stung. I again had to go out and purchase My own supplies and spray the wasps myself. After all of this, I called to cancel in which I was charged $150. I am very disappointed because I went with Fox pest control based on the recommendation of two friends in which I clearly received a different level of service in which they did

  Thank you for informing us of this complaint. We regret that the customer has been disappointed in his service. We have made multiple attempts to resolve his pest issues by offering follow-up treatments at no additional charge and having our Service Manager personally come assess the situation. The customer declined these offers because he did not wish to wait for the appointment. For legal and safety reasons, treatments must be spaced at least two weeks apart. When the customer declined all of our efforts to address his concerns, our office followed the terms of the contract and charged the early termination fee because the customer had completed less than one year of his two-year agreement. Charging this fee is not our preference, and we would be happy to refund the $150 if the customer reinstates his service and allows us to treat his home. If we truly cannot resolve the customer's pest issues, we do have a money-back guarantee. We encourage the customer to please call our office to reinstate his service so we can help.
  Sincerely,
