  April 24, 2025 Eco Shield came and knocked down 5 bees nest that were under the eves. They left them on the ground. I called and complained and was told they would get them in 3 weeks with their repeat visit! When I signed up for the service they had stated they would return promptly if there were any problems with their work. I had children over and could not chance them stepping on one, so I had to do what I paid EcoShield to do. In addition, they have not done anything for the ant or spider problem though they said this was part of their service. The second visit was treating for spiders and ants. There are spider nests and webs all over the house siding and an ant infestation inside after their "treatment." They had promised they would prevent this from happening. The slick talking young man came to my door, that of an elderly woman, and promised to take care of any pests. He also claimed they will return if anything is not done right. WRONG. They have not lived up to their contractual agreement, and I am not going to be scammed into paying an "early termination" fee. Had they done their job, I would be doing business with them. I have paid twice for shoddy work, and that ends now.

  Hi *******,
  Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you've experienced. We are committed to delivering thorough and effective service, and our technicians are trained to go above and beyond to meet our customers expectations.
  Upon reviewing your account, I noted that your initial service took place on April 24, 2025. You then contacted us on May 7, 2025, regarding a wasp that had been knocked down by the technician but not removed. As our representative noticed that you already had an egg cycle service scheduled for May 27, it was suggested that the technician address the issue during that visitand I understand you agreed to this plan.
  Following the May 27 service, we did not receive any further concerns or feedback until August 22, 2025, when a reminder was sent for your next scheduled service on August 25. I completely understand your frustration, and I want to assure you that,if only had we been made aware of any ongoing issues, we would have gladly scheduled a follow-up as part of our 100% service guarantee. This guarantee allows for complimentary touch-up or follow-up services between regular visitswe just need to be informed so we can take prompt action.
  Regarding the early termination fee, it is part of the agreement established at the beginning of your service plan. That being said, we truly appreciate how respectful and kind you were in your communication with our team. As a gesture of goodwill, Id like to offer you a 50% discount on the early termination fee.
  We sincerely value you as a customer. If you ever decide to return to our services in the future, we would be more than happy to welcome you back and ensure your satisfaction.
  Thank you again for the opportunity to serve you. Please dont hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions or if there's anything else we can assist you with.
  Warm regards,

  *******:
  The situation is not resolved. The work was shoddy and incomplete. I still had all the wasp nests, spider nests and sugar ant infestations. I called and complained about the wasp nests that were knocked to the ground -and was told they could not come out for 3 weeks. This was NOT acceptable to me then or now! I told Ecoshield to come out as they said they would if there was a problem. I was told that was impossible. I had to wait 3 weeks. This was not acceptable to me then or now. Is this what one can expect from EcoShield? The second visit was supposed to eliminate the spider and ant problem. Subsequent to this "treatment" with a "swiffer" type mop - there are spider nests all over my siding. I had two sugar ant infestations this summer. The first and second visits were shoddy - and did not get the job done. By the time I was told there would be a third visit, it was clearly evident the second visit was also shoddy. EcoShield has not lived up to their part of the contract. Thus it is broken. Good riddance. You have taken FULL ADVANTAGE of this elderly woman, and I am going to let everyone know to stay away from your EcoShield.
  
  Sincerely,
  ******* ****

  I got a door to door guy who suckered me into trying the service. I was told no cancellation fee and can cancel at any time. I signed a document electronically and used the service 2x. I decided to cancel because it had no appreciable difference on pests in the area. They charged me a cancellation fee when I cancelled and I spoke to them about it and they showed me a doctored document where they had copy/pasted my signature, including the white background they took it from - there was no deviation at all, I could tell they copy/pasted it around the document. That's fraud. I was never shown the cancellation fee section (3rd c/p signature), it was not present in what I signed. When I called they could have resolved the issue by not charging a fee, I even pointed out that the document was doctored. They declined. So I'm complaining about it. Do not choose these guys for any reason.

  Dear *****,
  Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We truly regret that you feel misled by one of our team members, as this is never our intention. We strive to provide clear and transparent communication in all of our interactions, and we sincerely apologize if we did not meet your expectations in this regard.
  Our goal is always to ensure that our customers are fully informed and confident in the services we offer. We follow a thorough three-step verification process during sign-up to maintain transparency:
  Verbal Agreement: Our representatives are trained to clearly explain the terms of the service agreement during the initial conversation.
  
  
  Written Confirmation: A copy of the signed agreement is sent to the customer on the same day for review, along with a 3-day cancellation window to allow time for reconsideration.
  
  
  Welcome Text: This message includes a summary of the service plan, as well as information about the Early Termination Fee and the implications of early cancellation. It clearly states that if you cancel after the 3-day window or before the contracts end, the Early Termination Fee will apply.
  
  
  Upon reviewing your account, I can confirm that these steps were followed, and we received a 1 response to the welcome text, indicating agreement to the terms. As a result, the Early Termination Fee is valid and unfortunately cannot be refunded at this time.
  That said, I fully understand your concerns and take them seriously. We want to ensure that your experience is addressed appropriately, and we are more than willing to investigate this matter further. If you can provide any proof, such as a video or screenshot of a conversation with our technician stating that you could cancel at any time, we would be happy to review it. Additionally, if you could provide a copy of your signature for us to verify, we will carefully look into this and explore any further steps that may be available.
  We truly appreciate your understanding and patience as we work to resolve this matter. Please dont hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or additional information to share.
  Best regards,

  I am rejecting this response because: It is lacking in factual detail. I have a "contact" sent by the company which is clearly just a PDF they made with my one real signature copy pasted over the 2 sections that retroactively mention penalties. I did not see them. Not once. And again verbally I was told there were no consequences of cancellation. These are facts. I have the pdf to prove it.

  The door to door salesman from EcoShield came by our house and solicited us into signing up for a service which he said we can "cancel anytime". Before he was even done soliciting other houses in our neighborhood (within an hour after he came by our house), I texted him back and let him know thanks but we aren't interested at this time and would like to cancel. He assured me he would "take care of it" and cancel it for us. Then, much to our surprise, EcoShield came by and provided a service within a few days. I again told him "hey we asked you to cancel we never wanted this service" and again he stated he would "take care of it for us". Again, he never did. Then we received a SECOND service within a month, without explanation and were once again charged. I called the salesman AGAIN and he finally agreed to cancel for us. He then footed us with a huge cancellation fee of $266.25. In total they are trying to bill us $649.65 for two services we never wanted and for a massive cancellation fee. To make matters worse, I called their customer service 6/17/25 and sent all text communication evidence with their salesman and she assured me all charges would be cancelled and to just give it a few business days and not to worry. Now, it is 7/22/25, and they are still trying to bill me for $649.65. I want the refund they assured me for the full amount as we never wished to move forward with this business to begin with and notified them within an hour of them pressuring us into signing that we didn't wish to move forward. And they told us not a problem they would handle it for us. Still waiting...

  Hi *******,
  
  Thank you for reaching out, and please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience you've experienced. We appreciate the opportunity to assist you.
  
  Ive reviewed the screenshot you provided, and you are correct it shows that you submitted a cancellation request on the same day you signed up for our service. However, please note that our sales team is dedicated solely to onboarding and does not handle cancellations directly. As outlined in the welcome text message sent to you on the day of your enrollment, cancellation requests must be finalized by calling our support line at ************.
  
  That welcome message also included three key points of your service agreement:
  1. The type of contract you signed,
  2. The ***************** scheduled to occur 3045 days after your initial service,
  3. The proper process for canceling your service.
  
  I also confirmed that you responded to the welcome message, which indicates agreement with the terms and conditions. That said, its also true that our team member should have escalated your cancellation request internally, and I apologize that this step was missed.
  
  While we regret that youve chosen to cancel your service, I want to assure you that your account has now been fully credited and canceled, with no outstanding balance remaining.
  
  If you have any further questions or need additional support, please dont hesitate to reach out.
  
  Warm regards,

  On July 18, 2025, a person wearing a shirt and hat with an EcoShield logo knocked on our door. I have "NO SOLICITING" and "DO NOT KNOCK" signs up, both on the front door and attached to the house next to the front door, as I work from home during the day.Aggressive, unprepared solicitation isn't appreciated. This person had no information or materials about the service, not even so much as a contact card, and kept trying to push us into agreeing to a discounted service. The person left after we repeatedly told them that we wouldn't talk about their service any further without a price sheet or a contact card.Simply put, I'd like the business to recognize that "NO SOLICITING" includes their business, too.

  Dear ******,

  Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We sincerely apologize for the disruption caused by our representative and want you to know we take your concerns seriously. We understand how important it is to feel respected in your own home, especially when you've taken clear steps to set boundaries with signage.
  
  Weve flagged *************** in our internal system to prevent any future visits, and we are addressing this directly with our local team to reinforce the importance of honoring all No Soliciting and Do Not Knock signs. Your feedback helps us uphold the professional standards we expect from our staff, and we truly appreciate the opportunity to make this right.

  I began service with Echo shield on April 24th. The salesman/tech that came to my house was informed that we would be moving and would inquire his services when we moved, to which he responded that if we sign up he would service our new property for free as long as we paid for the initial service (which he said would only be around 174, and failed to mention the 174 dollar charge the following month). Besides not telling me about the charge that would happens the next month, when we did move, I called the company to get my property serviced and they told me that they would not be able to service it for free. When I asked to speak to the employee who signed me up, they told me I could not have his contact information, and they would have him contact me (which he never did). Now when attempting to cancel my service because they would not service me for free, I find out that I signed for a 12 month contract and there would be a 275 dollar fee, which was also not told to me. This complaint is being filled because of the dishonest tactics the company employee used to get me to sign this terrible contract. Now I have to pay $275.75 to cancel. The employee that helped me cancel did try and help me by giving me discounts for continuing my service, but that does not help as they have already lost my trust. They should really train their employees to be honest and let people know what they are signing up for.

  Dear *****,
  
  Thank you for sharing your concerns. We appreciate the opportunity to clarify your account details.
  
  Our records show that you signed up for recurring quarterly pest control services on April 24, 2025, and agreed to a 12-month service plan. This agreement was confirmed through our three-step process: a digital contract, a welcome email outlining the plan, and a confirmation text sent shortly after enrollment. While we understand you recall being told the new home could be serviced at no charge, our records, including the signed agreement and welcome materials, reflect the standard terms of a recurring service plan with applicable fees for all treatments beyond the initial visit.
  

  If you have any documentation that supports a different agreement or terms, we welcome you to share it with us at ******************************** for further review.

  Your door to door sales **** are literally banging on my door either in the late evening (after 9pm) or multiple times during the work day, and I work from home. It is obnoxious and inconsiderate and certainly not a way to win my business. Today (6/30) they knocked 2 different times both times I answered as I did not appreciate the continued banging - and both times I was on work calls and explained this to the sales ***. **** though your sales *** saw me on the phone and I told him I was on a work call he would not stop talking! Again - this is NOT a way to win business. Additionally, I did not have any ants on my front porch when I went out this morning to water my plants, now all of a sudden I have ants??!! I do NOT want your **** coming to my house again! Please stop harassing the residents of Seattle!

  They ignore us when we tell them to leave our property and keep talking. We have asked them not to come back multiple times and they continue coming to our property and trying to sell us their services. This is becoming borderline harassment.

  I cancelled services because I had to move and sell the house suddenly for safety reasons. I talked with someone via text, email and phone. For the past three weeks they have contacted me daily to say I need to call them to complete the cancellation. I called yesterday to let them know that the resident of the home has died and to stop calling about pest services as it is emotionally upsetting. The phone calls continue. Please stop calling.

  Date: 06/26/2025

  Hi *******,
  Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We understand that this has been a difficult situation, and we truly appreciate you bringing it to our attention.
  Our cancellation process is designed to ensure that we clearly understand each customers needs and see if there's anything we can do to assist before closing an account. That said, we recognize that in some cases, continued outreach may not feel helpful. We regret any added frustration this may have caused during an already challenging time.
  After reviewing your account, we can confirm that the service was officially closed as of June 18, 2025. Additionally, the Annual Commitment Discount Fee was waived as a courtesy, and there is no remaining balance on your account.
  We wish you the very best moving forward and appreciate the opportunity to address your concern.
