For several years, Greenix allegedly provided quarterly pest control services for which my credit card was charged. Greenix never provided advance notice so I would often come home to find a card that said that the exterior was treated, including the *****. I recently noticed a wasp nest in the ***** and contacted Greenix, who sent a tech to address it, but he said he couldn't tell whether or not the wasps were inside the attic because he wasn't allowed to use a ladder without approval. I contacted the Greenix customer service line, which apparently is somewhere off shore. It took several calls before I was transferred to a "district Manager" (***** -- location unknown) who promised to provide a "VIP" service to inspect my attic as the contract requires. Instead, another tech (******) showed up, retreated the area with a pole, and said he couldn't go into the attic without approval (even tho it was preapproved by *****) and couldn't reach his manager -- he promised to call me later in the day, but never did. I contacted customer Service again was finally transferred to another "district manager" who said he would send someone out. I told him not to send someone unless they would go into the attic -- after a lengthy hold, he told me they would not do that because Greenix didn't have liability insurance. I then told him to terminate my service contract and it took days for them to finally send an acknowledgement. I now have to to call a legitimate exterminator to inspect my attic and would like Greenix to reimburse me for this cost. This whole experience is taking a toll on my health.Business Response

I received services from greenix, then called and requested that they do not take monthly payments from my account, for I'll pay as I use them. Then my husband was laid off, I immediately called and cancelled their services to continue no more. I have called, text the number they give us to text with customer issues, to no avail! They keep contacting me saying they scheduled an appointment for that day to have all gates closed, etc... and I immediately text the number given and tell them, once again, stop contacting me that I cancelled their business. I even spoke to a gentleman one month, he apologized, yet here I am as of today another text stating they're coming out today! Again I responded with do not and I cancelled. I am exhausted of being hassled by this company, and beg you please make them stop! Plus, see to it that my card has not been charged monthly as he originally wanted to do and I immediately cancelled that the very same day I spoke to a lady who placed me on hold insisting that she cancelled the monthly payments, but now I see how they handle their cancellations, so I want to be sure they cancelled them! I am going to check my account just to be positive, but if I find they charged me monthly for services I cancelled, I'll yet again be writing you. So it's best to be positive prior to contacting me. I truly appreciate your helping me with this, as my husband being laid off is stressful enough for us, I certainly don't need this every month! Thank youBusiness Response

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We sincerely apologize for any confusion and frustration experienced. Upon reviewing Landy's account, we see that on 5/31 she spoke with an account manager. The resolution of this conversation resulted in the account remaining active, but the billing method was updated to charge after each completed service, rather than monthly. Landy was only serviced and charged once. We have now communicated directly with Landy via email to confirm the resolution of these concerns. We sincerely regret any inconvenience this situation has caused, especially during a stressful time. Please feel free to reach out to us directly with questions or concerns.Initial Complaint

09/20/2024 Complaint Type:Billing Issues Greenix is trying to double bill and claiming past due invoice for two payments that have already made. I was notified multiple times by their collection agency department. We have attempted to pay the invoices through automatic withdrawal (a practice that we have commonly used for all our billing payments for over a decade). We have provided information from out bank confirming the following: : check #**** was mailed to Greenix for receipt by August 1, 2024, Your check may be cashed and the money withdrawn, before, on, or after August 1, 2024, pay from checking x3495 amount $107.99, confirmation wfdny-phx55; check #***** was mailed to Greenix for receipt by August 20, 2024 . Your check may be cashed, and the money withdrawn, before, on, or after August 20, 2024, pay from checking x3495 amount $75.59n confirmation wfdpo-s5k7t. My wife and I both have called multiple times submitting payment confirmation information in hopes to resolve the matter, in every instance the reply is the same claiming payments have not been made. My last call was just a few days ago and the Greenix response from this last inquiry was again the same as their initial response that they have no record of payment. This is their claim that inquiries have been made and no payment was received.. . I have sent them the proof of payment from my bank. They need to acknowledge payment made and stop trying to collect money I have already paid. They need to waive any additional requests for payments beyond those cited here, They need to stop harassing me for money I do not owe them. Once this is resolved, I want no further contact with Greenix. And terminate the contract immediatley.Business Response

Hello - We have been having re-occurring issue with Greenix. We have cancelled our services with Greenix back in May 2024. The last service received and paid for was in May 17, 2024. We have reached out to Greenix multiple times by phone to cancel services and let them know we are moving soon and cancel all services as we are moving out of state. At first, they instructed us to go online to cancel within our account. There is no option available to cancel the service online via our account. I attempted to get on the phone to have someone walk me through the process or send them an email/feedback something in writing and they were unable to provide that process and just reassured that the services were cancelled. We have explained that we are moving and do not own the property and they have ensured us the services are cancelled, yet continue to show up at the service address attempting to preform services. Numerous people have showed up at the address, have been told there is no service with you stop coming here by the owner of the property. They have even confirmed this address shows up as cancelled yet they keep showing up. One of their service providers even asked if we still lived at the address and told them no to see what would happen and they still showed up again. Recently I have been started getting charged for amounts that make no sense and services that are not happening. I have 2 disputes with my bank, one was credited for $65 and filed another today for $120. These charges do not even match what we were contracted for not to mention that contracts ended years ago and have not been renewed. I cannot get this business to stop no matter what we do and continue to charge me for things they have not done. No one showed up at the address today (9.21) nor was any service performed as I have pictures to prove it yet was charged $120. They are not even leaving the normal notification or lawn tags that they have done service. Please help stop them!Business Response

Good afternoon,My name is **** ******. I received an email from ********************** regarding a collections attempt on behalf of Greenix Pest Control account #******; agency account number *********** canceled my subscription within the 3 business day policy from the "special" promotion thatwas offered when a Greenix employee spoke with me at my home going door to door, but am still charged a monthly subscription fee despite no further services provided. Greenix provided a one time basic treatment for $120, and notified me there is a monthly subscription unless canceled within3 business day. They treated my yard on 5/2/24, but the results were poor as it was raining the first treatment. I called to cancel within the 3 business days, and they offered to come out again and treat my home, which they did on 5/13/24, again in the rain, and again with poor results. I called and canceled my membership within 3 business days of the 2nd treatment, as I was told that the 3 day window would renew since the first treatment was ineffective. Greenix continued to charge me even though NO FURTHER SERVICES HAVE BEEN PROVIDED beyond the "GreenGuard Basic Initial PC" and my attempt to cancel the subscription. I continue to receive emails and phone calls regarding the "amount owed" totaling $159.95. My credit is now at risk of being affected which has prompted me to open this complaint.

We signed up for a 12 month / 12 appointment contract on the basis of understanding that we could cancel at anytime without a fee. We agree on 100 dollars for the first service and 79 dollars for the following appointments. We have reached out to cancel on multiple occasions to which nothing has happened and we have been charged 100 dollars on 2 separate occasions. Upon calling and finding out we now have to pay an additional 299 to cancel as well as being charged for an appointment that hasn't happened. What is being told by the door to door salesmen's and what the contract ends up being is completely different. All I'd like is to be released from this contract and to not be contacted further.Business Response

We were told by salesman that if we were unhappy at any time, they would send someone out the next day to treat area again. Treatments were completely ineffective. When we called we were told a manager would come out and personally take care of the problem. Next day a kid who appeared to be 16 showed up and asked what the problem was. He had no idea of what our complaint was. He goes to his truck, talks on his phone for a long time and then tells us that his manager said that they cannot re-spray because in ** it is against the law to spray within 30 of an application. NEVER were we told of this when we signed up.
This company is completely fraudulent and we are extremely sorry to have gotten involved with them.Business Response

Have had insight for a decade. Had to try and schedule three times with this transition to finally get someone out for quarterly visit, it's been two weeks later clearly they used nothing and just swept. Given the toxic element to the service, I ****'t trust this company for further service and want a full refund. I never had this problem with insight ever in literally over a DECADE ************ is fraudulent period.Business Response

On 6/27/24 I entered an agreement to have Greenix come out to evaluate a problem that I had regarding a mouse that I would see on occasion that had entered my home. The were timely in answering the phone and talking me into an agreement to have someone come out to set traps etc. Someone came out but never entered my house and only set out four traps outside. I called back In September and told them that I had work done around my house and one of the brick layers found the entry place and that I no longer wanted or needed the service. The representative transferred me to another person who told me that instead of coming out every three months they would come out every two months and that I should keep the service because the cold weather was coming and there still might be a chance that I would have a problem. He scheduled someone to come out on 9/13/24. I reluctantly agreed, however on 9/13 the Tech was ridiculously late. I called and called and he said that he had a late start and would be out later that day. I texted back and told him that if he could not come out by 7PM then don't come at all. I called back today, and even as I am typing this I have been on hold for over 40 minutes. THIS COMPANY IS THE WORST!!!!!! I want out of this contract now and expect a full and complete REFUND!!!!Business Response

Have a wasp and hornet issue. Tech came out to my house with a small dust pump and sprayed 4 pumps of dust on 1 side of my small gazebo. I was told that they would treat the entire yard. The tech told me that he couldn't service my yard fully because he has back problems. They still charged me. The tech begged me to leave him a good review because he has a child and he's still learning his job. I called and requested another tech to come out and service my yard correctly. A different tech came out a week later with the same small hand held dust pump and essentially did the same thing. I have had no results. I called them to cancel any further services. They are trying to charge me an additional cancelation fee of $270. Poor service and untrained unprotected technicians.Business Response
