      When I agreed to have EcoShield service my yard, if I signed an agreement I was under the understanding that it was just 1 time fee for the service. I never in my right mind would have or did sign anything for continued billing of my checking account. When I called for an explaination, they sent me a copy of all of the billing and after the first amount they billed me, which was supposed to be for 3 months service (quarterly) they billed me again the following month. I had no email saying they were billing me for this or do I understand why they billed me 2 months in a row. To end this dispute they need to take that charge off then we are even and this dispute is over.

      Hi ********,

      Thank you for reaching out. Our records show that on 4/29 you confirmed the upcoming quarterly service scheduled for 5/2, which was completed as agreed. This service was part of the recurring plan outlined in the agreement sent at the start of service, which includes regular treatments and billing unless canceled.

      Because the 5/2 visit was confirmed and completed, and the agreement reflects a recurring service model, the associated charge remains valid.

      Thank you,

      A solicitor came to our property advertising their services. We agreed on the scope of work and payment (two visits for $180 each) with an option to cancel further services afterwards. The ********** that arrived for the first visit refused to do the work that was agreed upon claiming that the sales person was new and didn't know what services were offered. The second ********** didn't provide the agreed upon service either. Upon calling their customer service we were told that closing the account and terminating the agreement would cost us $250 and if we didn't pay we would need to keep paying $180 every two months. These terms of termination were indeed written down in an agreement that the solicitor gave us to sign, however he verbally misrepresented them. Ultimately this feels like a fraud scheme because:1. the sales person misrepresented the terms of the agreement 2. the sales person never communicated the scope of work to the **********s 3. the **********s didn't perform the work that was agreed on 4. the agreement was designed to introduce recurring fees that are difficult to cancel 5. terminating the agreement with the customer service was extremely time consuming and resulted in another fee that will result in a credit card charge In conclusion EcoShield is attempting to take $626 for a service they never provided through predatory sales techniques, misleading terms and agreements, claimed lack of communication between **********s and sales and particularly unhelpful customer service.

      Hi Jedrzej,

      Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We're sorry to hear about your experience and understand your concerns regarding the service expectations and agreement terms. While the signed agreement included the cancellation fee, we recognize that the way the information was communicated fell short of your expectations. As an act of goodwill, weve waived the cancellation fee in full and closed your account to prevent further charges.

      Thank you.

      The original payment included 2 visits. The salesperson ******* lied that he was the co-owner, lied about having several clients in the sub-division and lied that the second visit was included in the first $190.64 payment. They visited the second time and charged an additional $90.64 and was on site for 10 minutes.I have tried 5 times to contact them and get placed on eternal hold. This company needs to be shut down before they continue to lie and cheat other homeowners.

      Hi *******,

      We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. While your signed agreement outlines a 12-month subscription with recurring services billed separately including the service in question, we understand your frustration and are taking your feedback seriously.

      As an act of goodwill, were waiving the cancellation fee and closing out your account. If you have any further concerns or need confirmation of this adjustment, please contact us at ***********************************************.

      Hi ****,
      Thank you so much for reaching out to us we genuinely appreciate you getting in touch! I understand that sometimes service details can be a little tricky to navigate, and I'm happy to help clarify everything about your account.
      You're currently enrolled in our ***************** with a 12-month contract. We always strive for complete clarity and transparency in all our terms and conditions, and I want to make sure you have a full understanding of your plan.
      To help visualize your service plan, here's a breakdown of the 5 billable services that complete your 12-month agreement:
      Initial Service: May 9, 2025
      Egg ************** June 2025 (This usually happens about ***** days after your initial treatment.)
      ********* Treatment: September 2025
      ********* Treatment: December 2025
      Final ***************** March 2026
      Once that final service in March 2026 is complete, please just reach back out to us, and we'll be happy to assist you with canceling the service.
      We absolutely understand that managing your budget is important, and we want to ensure you're aware of the support we've provided. I've had a look at your account, and I can confirm that we've already applied a 50% discount (before tax) to your upcoming ***************** in June.
      What's more, after your June ******** you'll also see a $25 price drop on your recurring *****************s. I noticed that you agreed to these beneficial terms on May 15, 2025, while you had a conversation with our representative, which is great!
      We truly value you as our customer, and while you still need to complete the 5 billable services as outlined, we also want to ensure your satisfaction every step of the way.
      Please remember that you're covered by our 100% service guarantee. This means if you're ever not completely satisfied with a treatment, you can request a complimentary follow-up service between any of your scheduled treatments (with the exception of the period between your initial and egg cycle treatments). Your peace of mind is important to us!
      I hope this helps clarify everything for ***, ****. Please don't hesitate to ask if anything is still unclear or if you have any more questions. We're here to help!
      Warmly,

      Door to door salesman ignored a legally posted No Trespassing sign and proceeded to walk down my private road, some 1000 + feet to become verbally aggressive with my daughter, with high pressure sales tactics. To then proceed to argue with me, when told to leave my property. Salesman then proceeded to neighbors home and became verbally aggressive with a 12 year old child.

      Do companies like this really think harassing people in their home all day makes us WANT to use their service? Get off my porch, you could offer the best service in the world (you dont- the only thing that comes up when googling are people warning about your scammy service) and I will still never use you because you make me feel like I need to involve the authorities to get you off my property.

      This business (EcoShield Pest Solutions) badgered my elderly parents into providing services. My parents fell for the initial sales pitch (after the salesman was very persistent), but later that day regretted the decision and texted to cancel the services. The salesman came back to their house and convinced them to let him do the outdoor spraying and then spent an additional 40 minutes trying to strong-arm them into continuing with the rest of the services. When my mom told him that they already have a bug company he dismissed that business stating that they were sub-par and his company always has to clean up after them. My mom spent 20 minutes telling him "no thank you" only to have him continue to provide excuses/reasons she should be saying "yes please." My parents are in the mid-to upper 80s and I feel like the salesperson was trying to use their age against them, and manipulate them into doing what he wanted, not what they wanted. I have tried to reach out to the company directly but it is difficult to speak to someone that is local. I have filed a "Feedback Form" to let them know of my complaint.

      Unless your name is on the account, I unfortunately am unable to assist you on behalf of your parents. They would either need to call in or submit a separate complaint under their information so we can work together. Regardless on that, I need the full account information. We have a ton of accounts in our system so I unfortunately cannot find an account based on the last name and city provided. Please have your parents reach out to us at ************ or submit a complaint on their own!

      I am rejecting this response because: I am disappointed that you won't take responsibility for the actions that occurred on behalf of your company. I am trying to get resolution for my elderly parents after your salesperson was verbally manipulative, and you are telling me that you are unwilling to help unless they reach out to speak to someone at your company. Why would I ask them to put themselves in ***** way again? They have already dealt with your salesperson on two occasions and it didn't go well either time. The elder abuse needs to stop and I won't ask them to subject themselves to another round of it. I have called the phone number you list in your email and it doesn't reach anyone local that can help, it forwards to your corporate office and they were unable to assist. Please refund all charges and close the account. Thank you.

      That said, we can confirm that the account has been closed, and the early termination fee of $276 was waived as a courtesy. The initial service fee cannot be refunded, as our records show services were performed only after completion of our standard sign-up process, including written agreement and verification via text.

      Today, 30 Apr 2025, a young man from EcoShield knocked on my door. I have seen this same young man for the last two years around this time of year. He has denied this last year and this one. I have told him emphatically, "No" to all services and he goes on and on each solicitation attempt, about the details of how my area neighbors have his service plan, and so on.They do not take no for an answer. I do not want their services -- EVER. I want my home removed from this unwanted solicitation. I've tried to be nice, but it's not working.

      This company consistently ignores 'no soliciting' signage and knocks on our door multiple times every season. I have contacted their customer support line, sat on hold for 30 minutes and am repeatedly disconnected. This is harassment. I cannot get them to stop. Next step is to file a police report and seek a no contact order against the company.
