This is a fraudulent company. I initially called them in May 2024 for a mouse problem. The *** informed me that any mice that take their bait, get disoriented and die outside the house. Techs arrived some time later and informed us that this is not true, and that the mice take the bait back in the house, where they die. We would not have agreed to their services otherwise. The *** also informed me that I would incur a $37 quarterly fee, never mentioned a $250 cancellation fee, and never gave me an actual agreement to view (this was all over the phone). However, Ive been charged monthly, incurred a $250 cancellation fee (which wasnt mentioned on initial call), and sent an agreement highlighting the cancellation fee, but I did not review / sign agreement.This is a fraudulent company at best. They will lie and cheat you out of your money.Business Response

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We genuinely apologize for any inconvenience that has occurred. We have thoroughly reviewed ******'s account and have additional information pertinent to provide clarity to the BBB. We have included the section of the initial sales call where billing frequency was discussed. We have also confirmed that the agreement, which included information regarding the early termination fee, was sent to ******'s email address at the time of sale. We strive to maintain transparency in all of our transactions and find this feedback extremely valuable. We have also communicated our proposed resolution with ****** via email at this time.Customer Answer

Complaint: 22078133
I am rejecting this response because:see attached screenshot, which shows the exact email address and time included in Greenixs screenshot. This written agreement was sent to me AFTER the phone; not during, so I could review the terms. In other words, I did not have any knowledge of this written agreement until after the phone call.
Also, Greenixs screenshot states that I signed the agreement. I did NOT sign any agreement, so unless you can prove I added my signature, that is fraud, and I will take legal action UNLESS you literally just admit you were wrong.
Lastly, send me a copy of the audio call so I verify the frequency of payment terms.
Regards,

We appreciate the opportunity to further assist ********** in this matter. Unfortunately, we are unable to upload audio files through the BBB's resolution portal. We also do not provide customers directly with internal call recordings due to safety and privacy concerns for our employees. Although our stance on the position has not wavered, we are refunding an additional one month of billing as a gesture of goodwill. Please let us know if there are any additional questions or concerns.Initial Complaint

******* claimed that my service was done and completed when in face it wasnt. I called customer service and asked if I had proof. I work from home and was home all day, have 3 cameras that surround my house (tech was never spotted), never received a text back fro technician when I asked what time service was completed. This has happened multiple times in the past when I get a text saying the tech will be here today and they never show. At least the last 6 scheduled visits. I always have to call and chase them down to get rescheduled. Despite many attempts to make aware of this same consistent issue it NEVER gets resolved or any solution what so ever is made. Then when I do get ahold of someone I am the one that gets pushed out another week or more to actually get the treatment I already paid for. Why cant they come out the next day to make it right? 6 straight times at least! At this point Id just like the service that I already paid for this month actually taken care off (since I already paid!) and then to cancel my contract with no penalty or cancelation fee. Enough is enough. This company is probably the worst company Ive ever had to deal with and only the 2nd company I actually took the time for to file a BBB complaint I. That past 25 years.Business Response

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We have been attempting to reach ******* and are awaiting him to return our call. We are also currently investigating the validity of his claims in the form of reviewing our dash cam footage and our service professionals tracked locations. We plan to provide this information the BBB once we have concluded this investigation.Customer Answer

Complaint: 22074011
I am rejecting this response because:Spoke to a representative yesterday and they confirmed the accuracy of my complaint after submitting evidence from my cameras (with timestamps) that the tech and vehicle were never here when they said they were. Even despite that they would not allow me to cancel my contract without penalty. They did however issue a refund for the last monthly payment and are sending a different tech out later this week to treat my property.
I will not accept this complaint as complete until I see consistency for the next couple scheduled visits as I am always the one pushed off of the schedule and rescheduled for a later date for the past handful of visits. While they are attempting to make it right I will have to wait and see since only time will tell. Unfortunately, one potential good scheduled visit this month will not convince me that they have rectified the consistent neglect of my complaints and prior scheduled visits.

Greenix is a mosquito pest control company that cannot show up at their designated time schedule appointments, nor do they complete their task. When they do get here, give me attitude, and then I still have mosquitoes fleas and ticks products do not work. The guarantee behind the product is **** and void, and there is no management to call me back for any kind of satisfaction. they dont show up for scheduled appointments. If they do show up, they take their picture in my driveway say they completed the task and leave without doing their job. Ive called several times to ask to talk to management and Ive been given the runaround through customer service have smart mouth, technicians, young technicians, who dont have a clue .Customer Answer

Hello, we are requesting additional time in order to provide documentation to the BBB in regards to communication we have received from this customer that we believe will support our position for the resolution of this complaint.Business Response
Date: 08/09/2024
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. After a thorough review of ********'s account and the services provided, we have determined that our team completed all appointments as per the service agreement. Documentation of these visits, including time-stamped records and detailed reports, have been attached for reference. In regards to rescheduled appointments, our service professionals followed the standard protocols when rescheduling services due to animals being in the service area.
We are unable to process any refunds due to these services being provided. We would also like to bring to the attention of the BBB interactions that ******** had with our team that led us to the decision to close her account before this complaint was filed. We take the treatment of our employees very seriously and strive to maintain a respectful and professional environment for both our customers and staff. Unfortunately, the verbal nature of some of the interactions led us to make the difficult decision to close her account. We are unable to attach these files to this complaint, however we would be willing to provide these recordings to BBB through another medium if necessary.Customer Answer

Complaint: 22064443
I am rejecting this response because:The company did not complete the sprays of my property as agreed in the contract. I had several employees come tell me they werent gonna do their job and take a picture and leave which I can confirm with my ring cameras I can also provide ring camera evidence of not completing, the entirety of the property that I was told was done. I am requesting all monies collected be refunded to me due to inability to complete the job. I dont believe that its fair that I pay for services that were not fully rendered. I called and made several complaints , without any resolve or satisfaction due to these reasons, I would like a full refund. Furthermore, their products were backed by a guarantee or your money back due to my unsatisfaction and inability of them to complete their job. I want my money back.

While we empathize with ********'s concerns, we are still unable to provide a complete refund. As stated previously, we have confirmed that three services were completed in their entirety, one of which was a complementary reservice. As a gesture of goodwill, we previously closed ********'s account without the application of an early termination fee. Also, coupons were applied to her account while it was still active, covering one full service. Thus, ******** was only charged for one out of three services. We place the utmost importance on meeting fair resolutions with our customers and apologize for any frustration.Initial Complaint

Despite a “No Solicitation” sign, a Greenix sales rep knocked on our door and rang our doorbell in the middle of the afternoon. (We did not answer.) A handful of hours later, he came back. I was outside and as he was coming up the driveway, I told him “no thank you,” but he continued to start on his pitch. I told him I wasn’t interested FIVE more times and he still insisted on giving me his pitch. (“I’ll be really quick. I only want to talk about…” is what he kept saying before I would cut him off.) I had to walk away to get him to leave. And as he was on his way down the driveway, he glared at me and said “unbelievable.” He was aggressive, rude, an unprofessional. When someone tells you they aren’t interested or to go away, those wishes need to be respected. Others in the neighborhood reported the same experience.Business Response

Sales rep sold the service saying they can get rid if pest including snakes. I told him I was happy with my current service. He finally after 45 minutes of sales talk convinced me to try them saying if any issues happen you call they come right out even next day to take care of. I had snakes again and the datw they cod come back was 8 days later . I said I need someone tomorrow like I was told when I signed up. Finally got a 12 noon appt next day. I left work early got home and no one ever showed up nor did they call. I called them and said I was very disappointed and wanted to stop services since they didn't show up or call the guy transferred me to an account rep who did all of his sales bs and convinced me to give them another try so I said ok. I asked how quick can they get out here? The initial 1st call was Monday July 15th, 2nd call 16th after they didn't show then the next appt was for Thursday between 8 and 9 am. I told them I have to be to work at so they have to be here as I would alreadybe late. He promised, assured, over and over that they would and they would make this right for me. THEY NEVER SHOWED UP OR CALLED AGAIN!!! I'm done with them and called and told them to cancel. I have no idea how they stay in business. The guy said he was going charge me a cancelation fee of 249.I told him I didn't break the the contract you did when you made appts and never showed or called I'm done. He even listened to the conversation of them telling me about my appts.Business Response

To whom it may concern:The nature of this complaint is as follows. My mother is the customer in this case. I am handling this for her. She is seeking a full refund and cancellation. The appointment and agreed soon amount was $106 and the charged amount was over $319. This appointment came with a cancelation forum that is to be completed within three days of the appointment. The cancellation was sent to them signed and dated with a timestamp via email at 1:11pm. They still showed up and scammed my mother completing unauthorized work and charging 3 times the agreed price. I have left this company voicemails with my number which is ************. We need a full refund and an apology being as it has been messed up in numerous different ways. It is on video when they showed up and the timestamps and cancellation forums should be more than enough. Please help us with these issues and see that this doesnt victimize others in my surrounding cities. We appreciate the opportunity and platform to carry this out. This is fraud, purgery, thievery, and should not be allowed to happen to a single mother who is a homeowner with mouths to feed.

I had used ******* **** ******* and terminated their service at the end of my contract. Around this same timeframe, Greenix acquired *******. Despite vehemently refusing to contract with them and use their services, they continue to contact me and try to schedule services I do not desire. I have no contract with Greenix and do not want to do business with them and they repeatedly try to force service on me that I refuse to accept or pay for. I've told them to stop contacting me that I'm not a customer and they continue to schedule me. I just want them to leave me alone. I will never be a Greenix customer.Business Response

I have an 18 month contract with this company that began in July 2023 to eliminate all pests in my home that was newly constructed at the end of 2021. The biggest issue was construction spiders. They were everywhere., but we also had an issue with hornets building nests outside of the house. Well, while there has been a diminishing number of hornets, the spiders have never gone away, even after extra treatments.
In the past, I was bitten by a spider and ended up in the hospital. I relayed this incident to the account manager with whom I spoke last week before they sent yet another technician to the house to spray. He found evidence of lots of spiders., which means their pesticide is not working! Despite that, they will not allow me to cancel the remainder of my contract without a penalty. Hence, I am requesting your assistance.Business Response

Greenix came to my house selling services.They pushed me into the service didnt want to leave.They never said anything about monthly bill only that they would come out quarterly.. after I signed up they left I looked over contract. Thats when I found that..They claim that the product they use is safe for animals and humans. That we where able to come outside 20 minutes after treatment..I waited 20 mins after they left. Stepped outside. The chemicals were so strong I tasted it. Not just while I was outside but for hours after.. I couldnt let my dogs out to long that night due to be afraid they would get sick or harmed..After all this I started researching Greenix online and thats when I seen they are not in business here in IN. They say they are in Ft.***** but couldnt find that address or details. Then went on BBB and seen a lot of other customers having same issues..Business Response
