    Last summer, we set up with Pest King to recieve their "termite package" including 4 bug sprays during the year. We recieved 2 sprays and have termite canisters around the house. They indicated they typically do not come during winter months. When we hit March, I was concerned because we were having wasps, ants, and stink bugs within the home which were also supposed to be covered in our pre-paid package. They responded once and set up an appointment in which they no showed. I have called 10x and left numerous voicemails and my husband has reached out by text with no response. I called and left a voicemail letting them know I would contact the BBB if I didn't get a response and still nothing. I want to be provided the services I already paid for or refunded for a percentage of the purchase so I can change to another company who can communicate and get the work done for the safety of myself and my growing family.
