On 10/5/2022 we called hawx because we were not satisfied with the service and simply could not afford the service and wanted to cancel our remaining service with them . We were told we would have to pay a huge amount to cancel but when the sales guy came to the door we were told we could cancel at any time after the first 3 months . This is outrageous I dont have the money to afford this service I should not be charged a huge amount to cancel if I cant afford the monthly payment.Business Response

Hawx pest control, has GOT to be the worst company I have dealt with. They barely do their full service and they only show up when no one is home. They were supposed to do inside. Never did it. They dont even do the backyard!! Absolutely, aweful. I understand when you sign a contract stick with it. But we still have atleast 8 months with this stupid company for them just to make money and do absolutely nothing. They take about 15mis spraying and the rest of their job is literally gathering stuff out of their truck.Business Response

I am filing this for my mom. After reading all the negative reviews and stories nearly identical to my mothers it seems this business has a habit of taking advantage of people. A Hawx salesman had her sign a contract after skimming the fine print on his tablet on 7/28. ********, he had explained it was a 4 MONTH service where they would come in 4 times and charge ***** each time. She has already been charged 3 times on 7/28, 8/28, and most recently on 9/29 and they've shown up twice to actually perform the service. She called to confirm over the phone after the second payment that it was only a 4 month service and they had told her yes, it was only for 4 months. She was just charged a third time with no service performed and is now being told over the phone that no, in fact, this was a 12 month contract and they would only perform the service quarterly while charging her ***** for 12 MONTHS. She tried cancelling the services but was also told **** will charge a $200 early cancellation fee, the exact "discount" she was given to sign up initially. The salesman and representative over the phone the first time she called DID NOT say this at all. Very deceitful and predatory to take advantage of those who do not understand the technology. The salesperson breezed over the fine print, encouraging her to sign with a verbal confirmation that it was only 4 months of service and payments. If your sales representatives promise one thing is my mother to blame for trusting their blatant lies? Here's the best part though, this service hasn't worked at all. This is the most mosquitoes I have seen while living here. I want this contract nullified and the early cancellation fee waved. That $200 "discount" doesn't mean anything when you tack it on as a fee after performing your subpar services.Business Response

Better Business Bureau:This is satisfactory if true. Hawx Pest Control recently tried to charge $200 (the initial "discount") to my mother. I hope they keep to their word and the charge wasn't an attempt at collecting the cancellation fee that they just said they wouldn't do.

At the end of June a salesperson knocked on my door and offered my pest control for $49/month and told me there was no cancellation fee. I signed on a tablet too small to read terms on figuring that I would cancel if I didn't like the service. A couple months went by to no noticeable effect of service so I called to cancel on 8/12/22. Upon calling I learned of the cancellation fee as well as learned that the salesperson had entered my e-mail incorrectly and that's why I never received paperwork explaining policy. If I had received paperwork I would have cancelled in the 3 day time to avoid the fee realizing how exorbitant the cost of cancelling would be. In discussions with the customer service representative on 8/12 I was lead to believe that my account would be cancelled with no fee due to circumstances. I was then contacted again on 9/1/22 about fees remaining on my account, when informed of the 8/12 conversation the new representative saw the note said ok and hung up on me. I was then contacted again on 10/4/22 about fees on my account I hadn't paid. I informed the representative of past conversations they read the note and told me there was no way he could remove the fees. To avoid my account going to debt collection or affecting my credit potentially I went ahead and cancelled to the tune of $539.34. I should not have had to pay this fee as I was routinely lied to, and would like this resolved.Account #****** Transaction Reference #******* Invoices in transaction:#******* #******* #******* #******* #******* #******* #******* #*******Business Response

I reached out to this company for an estimate around September 11th, 2022. After that they have repeatedly called me, multiple times a day. I have told them I am no longer interested in doing business and requested they did not call me. The company continued to call me so I blocked their number. They then began using other spam phone numbers from multiple states in order to call me. I am a member of the do not call registry. They have continued to make calls despite this fact. Some numbers they have contacted me through include (but are not limited to): ********** ********** **********.Business Response

I signed up with Hawx Pest Control. They told me that they do more of the yard than the other companies do. For instance I stupidly believed that Hawx would go above & beyond other pest control companies. Well, they are horrible. I have had more roaches and earwigs in my home. I walk outside there are roaches everywhere. There was a small ***** that ran across my granddaughters foot.When the pest control guy came he was at the house for literally 2 minutes. I spoke to him when he got there. I went inside and turned around to go back out and he was gone. Cobwebs and bugs all over the front area. It didn't even look like he had sprayed. I have called and complained. I want out of my contract! I am spraying mu own home because whatever they are using seems to drive the bugs to the house.Business Response
