    Be very careful with these people. One of their sales **** came at our door and told us we can try their service and cancel it at anytime. The catch is that he never said that once you sign up with them there will be a $250 cancellation fee and we never bothered to read the fine print. We decided to cancel their service once we realized that it wasn't worth it and that to have them use their service for mosquitos it would be an extra $85 a month. As you can imagine they said fine but there is a $250 fee for cancelling their c*** service. Very unfair and predatory people. Stay away from them and read the fine print before you ever sign a contract with them.

    Hi ****, thank you for sharing your experience.


    Were sorry to hear about the frustration this situation has caused. Our records show that all customers go through a ****** signup process that includes a verbal review of the agreement, an emailed copy, and a text confirmation reply. This process also outlines the early termination fee and any optional add-ons like mosquito treatments.


    If you have any documentation that supports a different understanding, wed be happy to review it. Please feel free to send it to us at ******************************** so we can take a closer look and assist further.


    Were committed to transparency and helping every customer feel confident in their pest control decisions.

    I had a man show up at my door who said he could take care of a certain kind of pest at my house. A week later another man came and gave me an estimate for $6500. Ridiculous. Then I called to cancel my contract, they charged me for $250 to cancel and then they charged another hundred and something that they said I owed them came to $400. They are nothing but scammers do not ever let anybody buy anything from them. They scam you really bad. They dont listen to you when you call all they wanna do is get your money out so they need to be stopped. Im elderly Im gonna fixed income and that tore my budget to pieces. I never thought I would be part of a scam, but I was EcoShield does nothing but scam people.

    A horrible, horrible company. They don't honor written guarantees by their own employees. Told them I was moving next month. The rep says no problem. We will do 2 servicings and then you can call and we will cancel your account with no penalties. He wrote it down on my contact. Now they want me to pay for early termination. You can't call a local office. Only get moronic call centers overseas. Then you get harrasing calls from the call centers even after a local employee says all is good. And, their service isn'tany good.

    If I could give this business negative stars for a review, I would. I hope my review will help someone else avoid wasting their time, money, & energy. The first visit was fine and they did what I asked.For my second visit, I never received any type of notice that the tech was coming. They came and went, never knocked on the door, which is a HUGE problem when I signed up because of an indoor ant problem and wanted interior treatment. I only know for sure they came because they left my gate open and my dog almost got loose. I sent the issues I experienced to the salesman I worked with and received nothing more than a brush off. I called and confirmed my next visit. I rearranged my schedule to be home at the time they gave me so that we could get the interior spray done. Shortly after their arrival window, I received a message saying Id been rescheduled with a new day and time. At this point Ive already rearranged things once to accommodate this appointment, so understandably thats rather frustrating to get cancelled on last minute. I rearranged my schedule once again for this appointment. I was set to get home thirty minutes before the arrival time. I got home to find that they had already come and gone, so once again my interior wasnt treated. How ridiculous that Im paying for this service that isnt even being adequately performed. I sent emails expressing my issues and all I was told was that I could cancel but Id have to pay a $200 cancellation fee. I called corporate and got the same run around. I didnt receive the service I paid for but Im expected to pay for the service AND pay a cancellation fee?I emailed the local office and couldnt get a response other than call us and unfortunately Im busy during their business hours and didnt have another two hours to waste on the phone with them. I finally gave up and paid the cancellation fee because theyre sending it to collections rather than replying to an email to have a discussion about it.

    DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. They never answer their phones at the local office, it always goes to the main company. I told them before I signed the contract that they needed to come on Mondays, since it is the only time I am home. They sent me a text on a Saturday saying the technician was at my home! They refuse to finish the initial treatment which should have included an interior treatment. I have called now 10 times trying to get them to come out on the Monday to finish. They keep giving me the run around. They tell me a manager has to approve the Monday since my initial treatment has been done? Still waiting for a callback this morning. Was told at 9:28am the manager will be calling now, but it is now 10:10am and no call. Their communication is a 0 on a scale of 1-10 with 1 being the worst. The only reason they told me the manager would call me now is because I told them to cancel. I am now on the 11th call to the company and again the company has to connect me to the local office since they don't answer their phones.

    Hi *****,


    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We understand how frustrating it must be when scheduling expectations arent met and communication falls short. Your time is valuable, and its important to us that our customers feel heard and supported throughout their service experience.


    At the time of sign-up, our team aims to accommodate customer availability and ensure all aspects of the initial treatment are completed as outlined. While some services may require scheduling approval from local management based on technician availability and routing, we want to ensure that any remaining steps in your treatment plan are fully addressed.


    Were committed to resolving this situation properly, and wed like the opportunity to escalate this for further review. Please reach out to us at ******************************** with your service address or any reference details youre comfortable sharing. This will allow our team to investigate and work toward a resolution that honors your expectations.


    We appreciate your patience and the opportunity to make this right.

    Ecoshield had plenty of time to make the problem right. I called 12 times within a week, the last four times being on Monday June 9th. I was constantly told the manager at the Richmond office would call me, but he never did. I fired Ecoshield for non communication with clients and for not hearing what the client was saying when the contract was signed. I told the person only Mondays for treatments and I was ignored because the technician came on a Saturday. Because I was not home the interior treatment, which I had paid for, was never done. It was worth the $250 cancellation fee to no longer have to deal with Ecoshield.

    Our family fell victim to EcoShields deceptive practices and the way their service agreement is written, theres little individuals like us can do. Ecoshield deceptively disguised the cancellation fee in consumer contracts as an annual commitment discount. The supposed discount is automatically given to new enrollees and purportedly reduces the cost of the initial service visit from $500 to $350, the filing relays.However, when a consumer wants to cancel their subscription, EcoShield demands they repay the so-called discount. Thats what happened to us. In other words, the Annual Commitment Discount is a sneaky and unauthorized cancellation fee that EcoShield claims must be paid when the subscription is cancelled, But EcoShield shady practices have finally caught up with them in the form of a class action law suit. Hopefully putting a stop to their slimy ways.

    Hi ********,


    Thank you for sharing your experience. We genuinely value feedback from our customers and take concerns like yours seriously.

    Our service agreements are designed to be transparent, and we strive to explain all aspectsincluding any pricing structures or discountsduring the initial enrollment process. The Annual Commitment Discount is one way we provide savings to customers who choose to commit to ongoing service. Its applied up front, and like many service industries, this discount is tied to the completion of a service agreement.


    We understand that situations arise, and when customers need to cancel early, our team is here to review those cases individually. Were committed to working with you to find a resolution thats fair and reasonable.


    We would appreciate the opportunity to discuss your specific situation further. Please contact our team directly at ******************************** so we can assist you one-on-one.

    They come out and use fake names of your neighbors and try to get you in this contract that is hard to get out of. They only have a phone number and not other means of contact. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

    Not reliable or dependable company. They schedule appointments and then not show up….no call and no show! When trying to cancel the contract (because theyre unreliable) they want to charge you a $281.00 fee even though they are at fault for not honing their own contract. Please help!

    Hi ***,


    Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. We understand how frustrating it can be to deal with missed appointments and challenges around cancellation, and we take this type of feedback seriously.


    Our service agreements are designed to clearly outline the expectations for both parties, including the frequency of service and terms regarding cancellation. We also aim to ensure consistent communication around scheduling, and it's concerning to hear that your experience did not reflect that standard.


    To review your account details and assist you directly with the cancellation concerns, please reach out to ******************************** with your full name and service address. Our team will investigate your case and work with you toward a fair resolution.

    They are difficult to reach. Change what they say. Change appointments without telling customers. Not pleased at all.
