I signed a contract and was informed that I would be able to cancel it without penalty.
When I called to cancel, they refused and tacked on a $240 fee. Additionally, when I called, the accounts manager focused a lot on making sure I stay as opposed to letting me out of the contract.Business Response

Neighborhood door to door solicitation. I was told it would be monthly applications x 4 applications. In December I noticed additional charges had been made from my account. I emailed them, no response. Then I got a hold of the phone # and called. Was told they do not respond to emails. I expressed my concerns, was told I had signed up for longer service. They emailed a contract that was completely unfamiliar and not what I had signed up for. It was a signature that was not mine. I cancelled the credit card they had continued to charge against. They continue to try to get me to pay them. I cancelled the service months ago.Business Response

9-2023 When I started with the contract. !st time they came out & he was late. He sat in the truck out front for about an hour.The employee was upset someone quit. I had a problem with ants, & spiders, he treated for them. He didn't know what he was doing. I had to work with him. He asked me what I wanted him to do. A coupke days later we saw another spider in the basement & bathroom. The reason I got the exterminator was I got bit 5 times by a spider. I called they sent a different guy out. I have have had them out 4-6 times because we are still seeing them. I asked them "Are you feeding them?" I pay $564.00 for a year contract. The stuff they are using is not working. I have to tell them what to do. I have to ask them to spray outside. I have to ask them to spray the whole house. They wanted to come out & spray in the rain.!!! I have so many ants in my guest bath I can't use it & kitchen & ding room. My contract is up in Sept 2024 I want out of it & I do not want billed for the months remaining. I do not want anything coming out of my account automatically either. I called my bank & stopped it. I have not paid for March & am not going to because Greenix is not doing the exterminating correctly.Business Response

I appreciate them agreeing to cancel the contract.
But I am also entitled to a full refund for the 3 months they did not provide the service. Nothing was done for my ant problem. I would like a full refund. I had better luck with ant bait.

I have used Greenix for pest control for a few years and did not have problems. Last October the service technician upsold me on having flea, tick, and mosquito treatment. He clearly stated two facts:
1. There is no harm to pets
2. If I did not want future services, regardless of the 12mth contract, I could call in and cancel a month of service.
Today I had a second service and following the service the technician made a point to tell me not to allow animals into my yard for 2 hours and planted a "pesticides" sign in my yard. Clearly if this is the follow up to the treatment, it is not safe for animals to be in the yard. Counteracting point 1 above. I called HQ and spoke to an account manager and he said "there is potential for the product to cause rashes if animals are allergic". If that's a potential, then it's not completely safe for pets. Again, counteracting what the technician told me when I signed up. I told the account manager I did not want any future services because of this risk and he said there is a cancellation fee of $249. When I reminded him that the technician told me I could refuse future services, he told me I was under contract for monthly services and that I had to see out the contract or pay the cancellation.
All of this to say, the technician clearly told me anything I wanted to hear to get the upsell that day. Each statement turned out to be the opposite from true. When kindly requesting Greenix terminate my contract, they refused. Regardless of what the contract states, when an agent of the company offers information, it should be honored. I want out of my contract with no penalty as there is no integrity or trust in this organization and I refuse to allow my pets in a yard filled with pesticides.Business Response

I paid Greenix 500$ mid February 2024 to exterminate rats in my daughter's house. They promised that even though they are located out of a city over an hour away, they were frequently in the flint area and could be called to empty traps as needed by an experienced exterminator. Our exterminator has informed us she has NEVER done a rat extermination and she has been unable to come as needed to empty traps, which means we can't catch new rats. I called them to see how they were going to complete the extermination as we followed all.of her instructions and now the rats are stuck in the house with no way out. They basically said just wait and see and it's possible they may not be able to complete this service. I just want what they promised which was experienced and efficient extermination and I'd like it completed with no extra charge to me.Business Response

Greenix Pest Control came to sell their business August of 2022. I had the option to select 12 months or 18 months. At the time, I had a bad ant problem in my kitchen and they reassured this product would make them go away and how safe it was for kids and animals. I signed up for 18 months. A lady called me on the phone while the salesman from Greenix was at the door to confirm my 18 month service and it was recorded. They told me they come out for every season or if any issues. They said they would spray my yard, around my house, take care of gutters and any insect issues such as bee or wasp hives. Since August of 2022 we have only seen Greenix 3 times yet we pay $43 a month for their service. My husband called after the first year as the service was bad and wanted to cancel and at that point we were told our contract was for 2 years and we could not cancel. This was a shock since I confirmed on the phone it was only for 18 months and was told we could cancel at anytime. My 18 months are up and we have only seen them 3 times. They are scammers and should not be in business. I should ask for a refund but at this point, I never want to hear from them again and will NEVER recommend anyone to hire them.Business Response

Paid for a service that was never received. They present their services as a “subscription” when it’s really a 12 month contract that cost twice as much as the service to break. I have attempted to cancel this service 4 times with no relief (still getting bills in the mail for services still not preformed). Any time you try to schedule anything with them they never show up. And when you call to speak to someone about the issues they send you to the next person, and the next person, and another person. It’s never ending.Business Response
