  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.

  Hi ****, 
  
  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!

  Complaint: 23280196
  
  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.

  I am rejecting this response because: I am reaching out to your company on behalf of my elderly parents who were victims of elder abuse at the hands of one of your sales ***** I am asking you to explain the action taken regarding this issue. You have avoided mentioning this topic. I am also asking you to confirm that you did what my parents asked you to do - close the account. I am not asking you to do anything that wasn't originally asked of you, nor am I asking you to reveal any proprietary information. It feels like you are trying to avoid answering my questions. My parents are uncomfortable discussing these matters with you due to their earlier treatment. Please address the questions. Thank you.

  Dear Ms. ****************** understand your concerns and your desire to assist your parents. However, as previously communicated, we are only able to discuss account-specific details with the account holder or an authorized contact. At this time, you are not listed on the account.
  
  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 deals in harassment and if they do not leave me alone, I will speak to *************************************Thank you,**** **********

  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.

Three opening to be excluded and trenching for ***** sq ft of house back side of garage. I was told verbally that day the work would be done the next day, on March 11, 2025. expecting all work to be completed. I had to call them to explain everything and then had to settle for March 19, 2025, having to re-arrange other commitments. On Third visit March 19, 2025. Appears two openings were chalked, and a vent screen replaced on the roof. Looked as if the cover from the vent had been removed screening appeared to be intact.

  Summer of 2024- sales man approached my 87 year old mother. She agreed to one time pest control treatment of approximately $150. He tried to convince her to a contract and she declined. This all took place in front of my brother. She gave the young sales man her debit card to pay for the service. One month later they charged her for a second treatment of $208. I caught this on her checking account. After phone calls I found out this young man fraudulently created a contract with a fake Signiture and fake email. My mother does not own a computer or know how to email. I contacted the company multiple times and the supervisor I spoke to on the phone acknowledged the email was fake. He agreed to drop the cancelation fee for the contract my mother did not sign. He promised me he would try to drop the $207 charge. There was no proof the lawn was even treated! My brother and caregiver are home with her at all times. After multiple calls I got no where with the company. I then reported a fraudulent charge to her bank. It was considered fraud and her money was returned. I thought this was a done problem but now this company has sent her a statement from a collection agency saying she owes them $208. The statement my mom received is from A.R.M. Solutions****** California Agency No: 10207-99.This is elder abuse and fraud. I thought this was solved after the bank declared the charge fraud.

  Dear ******,

  Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. We understand your frustration and appreciate the opportunity to clarify.
  
  The service you enrolled in includes routine treatments as part of an ongoing pest control plan. At the time of signup, our sales team reviews the agreement details, including service frequency, pricing structure, and terms of cancellation. Additionally, the initial service was provided at a discounted rate, with the understanding that services would continue throughout the agreed-upon term.
  
  As an act of goodwill, we have waived the annual commitment discount payback; however, any service charges for completed treatments remain valid. We regret any miscommunication and are happy to review your account further. If you have any additional concerns, please reach out, and wed be happy to assist.
