    Hello,

    My name is Mike Davis, Marketing Director Northwest Exterminating.  I've attached the original termite agreement signed by Mr. Warren, the multiple attempts to contact revolved around the following: 

    1) Trying to see if we can rectify the issues regarding a cancel request

    2) The equipment installed is leased and therefore we try and collect the stations, we still pay the supplier Corteva Agriscience for the bait stations (highlighted on attachment).

    3) Northwest Exterminating provides pest control for the HOA Cadden Management, that artificially increased attempts to contact because the HOA was reaching out to Mr. Warren simultaneously, and the two companies became viewed as one.

    At this time, we have removed all contact information for Mr. Warren from our system, canceled all services and we have paid the non-recovery fees with Corteva Agriscience.

    Thank you,

    Mike Dais

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID 22036682, and find that this resolution would be satisfactory to me.  I will wait for the business to perform this action and, if it does, will consider this complaint resolved.

    I contracted with Northwest on June 30th, 2023 (******* * *********for Rodent removal and prevention on my property and paid the required deposit of $199.00.
    They were supposed to put an electronic device in my attic to detect rodent activity and traps to capture rodents, bait outside my home and inspect the home for entrances that needed to be sealed.
    Since June 30th I've ad 4 scheduled appointments for servicemen to complete the required services. One never showed up or called and 3 others were ill equipped to perform the required entrance into my attic through the attic opening which is in my 12 foot ceiling. They came with 8 foot Step ladders which would not enable them to safely approach and enter the attic. This despite my giving specific information at the time of arranging the appointments that they must have a twelve foot ladder that gets them into the opening to the attic.
    This company is not capable of safely fulfilling the needs of the contract I signed and agreed to.
    The need to come and retrieve their bait stations outside my home and cancel our contract and refund $199.00 I paid.
