I signed a contract with ***** on July 24, 2024. The contract included a termite service and a ********* ant service. The service amount was $2,250. I paid the service amount in full on July 26, 2024. July 29, 2024, the termite service was poorly completed and needed to be redone. I was recharged $2000 for a service I had already paid for. I reached out to have the money refunded, and I was refunded on August 1, 2024. The termite service was redone August 3, 2024 but no quality inspection was completed afterwards. Today is September 11, 2024 and I have called numerous times, still no quality inspection has been completed. On August 6, 2024, I received a message indicating that my service person, would be at my address at 1:15. I arrived at 1:25, and the technician had already left. I called customer service to let them know that I was there and that if he wasn't able to access the property, I was there. I saw the technician's truck parked three houses down the street, so I called again to inform customer service that he may be at the wrong address. I spoke with customer service on three occasions while the Orkin truck was parked down the street. The technician later indicated that he had completed the service. It was later confirmed by one of the managers that his GPS was in the area, so I'm sure it was his truck parked down the street. I received a message 1 hour later indicating that the service was complete while I was still sitting in front of the property. He was fraudulently pretending to be performing the service while realistically sitting in his car waiting for the right time to leave. I was again was charged $250 August 7, *************************************************************** advance. I didn't receive my money back until August 23, 2024 after contacting corporate numerous times. These people are all over the place and its very frustrating. Despite my numerous calls, there has been nothing but confusion and poor service.Business Response

I had a house inspected for possible termites. I was quoted a price around Aug 22 I paid the tech. They cashed the check. I was informed it would be later that week or early the next week for the service. And someone would call. As of 9/7 no call no service. I have called them three times. 1st time they told me service on 9/8. And the manager would call. Second time I was told service on 9/13 and he would call. Sat 9/7 I left a message. I don't appreciate being lied to I paid them now I need the service done asap. They are holding up my other contractors. This house is part of probate and I can't do anything as far as the value, and issues to purchase it until they do the job they promised.Business Response

My son is attempting to purchase his late father's house. Prior to moving in the house needed to be exterminated due to roaches. I contacted the above company for services. I was promised that the company would keep coming back until the roaches were gone. My son's girlfriend was told on the 2nd visit that they were not coming back. When I received a bill for the 2nd quarter I called and explained my disappointment and wished to cancel the contract. The person I spoke with identified himself as the service manager and then the sales manager. He agreed to send someone out gratis for one more treatment. I said no because I felt that would continue the contract. He insisted on sending someone out so I relented. I got a bill in the mail and protested and told my story. I still got bills and phone calls requesting payment even though I explained the situation over and over. Then HomeTeam placed the account with a collection agency ARM services. I have gotten numerous phone calls and a hit to my credit report. I want HomeTeam to stop collection activities for $128.00 and remove the delinquency from my credit report.Business Response

We apologize for the inconvenience in this matter. HomeTeam provided a pest control service for German Roaches at ******************** home as well as engaged in a contractual agreement for ongoing pest control service. To eradicate German Roaches HomeTeam renders a clean out service and an ongoing pest control service because German Roaches are a pest that takes two or more services to control, so an ongoing service is beneficial. After the second visit it appeared that the German ***** issue had been taken care of, but never heard from **************** to cancel the service. ******************** son did inform the technician that the German Roaches were gone so the cleanout was completed in Dec. when he went and asked at the quarterly service.
HomeTeam has reviewed ******************** the completed pest control services and is expecting payment for the services rendered. If **************** has any further questions, she may contact us at **************.

I am rejecting this response because: first off it was not my home; it is where my son is living until his father's estate is settled. I contracted for removal of 2 types of roaches. I was told it would be treated until the roaches are gone. I got correspondence telling me I had signed a contract and needed to pay. I called back because my son's girlfriend told me that she was told only 2 visits which is not what the contract said. I called and requested the contract be nulled and that was agreed to by Home Defense. They wanted to send someone out to the house as a courtesy. I objected and then relented. Also my son cannot sign a contract until his father's estate is settled; financially it is impossible. I have not shared with him all the problems Home Defense has caused me. I will be sending a copy of the contract.
Sincerely,

My husband and I originally contacted ***** (or also appearing as "Rollins" on BBB) due to a suspected yellow jacket activity going on near the corner of our roof. A technician was sent out who conducted a routine spray but advised we would need a inspector to come out as he said it was actually wasp activity. He claimed in his report he would reach out to one. No one ever got in contact with us. So I went ahead to schedule this appointment with the ************* a week later the same technician came again. He came with no supplies or equipment, which my husband were really upset about since he initially confirmed our suspicions in there possibly being a nest. We had to supply him with our own ladder and flashlight and beckon him to check for activity in our attic and gutter area at least. He then gave us a remorseful excuse that the office was supposed to reach out to us for the inspection. When my husband expressed how upset he was that he was there instead of an inspector, he kept ensuring us that he would be "on their a@%^" about coming out. Until this day we have heard nothing and have been calling and leaving voicemail. We have a 17 month son and these wasps are entering our home. We will hold them accountable if anything happens to our child. We are hugely dissatisfied with our service and require an inspector to come ASAP or a full refund.Business Response

I booked a service with *****. The 1st time it had to be rescheduled because they failed to inform us that our pets had to be removed from the home. We have a bird and dogs which I explained to the agent at the time of booking 2nd time when they arrived the service could not be performed because we were not informed that the furniture and things had to be moved away from the walls and things. The bigger issue was we had no clue the service was not performed until I called the office ( I called the office because when I came back from the store I asked my husband did ***** leave already and he said yes Im like how did he finish so fast. I had been gone not even 10mins) my husband then indicated he actually sprayed while I was still removing our large bird from her cage. Im like how ? They said the animals has to be out the house for 4 hours cause its not safe) I was then informed the service wasnot performed and we would have to have rescheduled be sure the furniture and things needed to be moved away from the house walls. I said well why didnt the service man communicate that with my husband? How would we have known we needed to reschedule it? Mind you we had 3 dogs and a bird outside just sitting thinking they couldnt return into the home for 4 hours in humid weather ( 2 frenchies a mastiff and a parrot). They apologized but I told them because of the lack of communication and disregard for my animals we no longer wanted the service. I had previously had a 1 year contract and loved the service *****************. So we booked with them again. The manager then proceeded to tell us he would not refund us. But would consider 50%. That was unacceptable to me since this issue was because they failed to communicate the needs for service not once but twice. No money was ever refunded and no fog service was ever rendered. We end up spending more money about $200 at ********** and doing it ourselves.Business Response
