Dear ******,
We do apologize for the confusion. After reviewing your account. We had received a call from you on June 14th, that was the first notification we had received of wanting to cancel. You are still in agreement so we would have to charge the early termination fee. Unless you send in approved proof of movement. Please call into to speak with an account manager will be able to work with you to get this resolved. You can reach us at **************. Our office is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM (MT).

On5/24/2024a salesman showed up and sold us a contract doe pest control. We asked multiple times about cancelation fees, and he assured us there was none. Based on this a contract was signed. He also promised he will call our current pest control company and handle the cancelation of that service. Last week we received a notice that the old account was still open, and after reviewing services decided to cancel Hawx, and now we got a 199$ cancelation fee. After calling the company, they showed a contract that allegedly we signed, and the refuse to reimburse our cancelation fee.Business Response

Dear *******,
We do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Upon signing the agreement, you had received a copy of the service agreement in an email. It and along with the welcome letter has been viewed. In both the agreement and the welcome letter, it outlines the monthly service charge, the unlimited warranty services and the early termination fee. Due to not fulfilling the agreement we had to apply the fee. All charges are valid. Your account is closed and you will no longer receive services. If you have any other questions or concerns please give us a call at ************.

I am rejecting this response because:
We are aware of the contract, and agreement, however that is not what we were told by the salesman, we asked several times about termination fees and he say there were none, them when my wife asked what she was signing, he just say it was a concent for service the next day.
we were deceived by the salesman, not only on this, he also promised to take care of the current contract with a different company, and he didnt do that.
practices like this is why I avoid door to door salesperson like the plague, we had the back luck on thinking we could enjoy a nice afternoon im our cul de sac without being disturbed, 250$ mistake.

This company has been a problem from the beginning. Every time we had a pest control service we had issues with bugs right away. Our second appointment was set for a Saturday afternoon due to my wifes personal issues. The technician showed up before 10:00. I was not home to receive him. When my wife finally got to the door he was already in his truck. When he came in he asked to use the bathroom, which she reluctantly allowed. He proceeded to urinate all over ver the seat and leave it there for my wife to sit in. At this time I attempted to cancel services with this company but was told I would be charged a three month cancellation fee. I allowed them to continue my service contract. On multiple occasions I asked when my contract would end and was told ****. I called to cancel in **** after the final payment had been made and was still charged an early cancellation fee of $199.00 which is actually four months. When I called to attempt to get my money back I was told that the cancellation fee could not be refunded unless I re opened an account for another twelve months. This company is ridiculous and I would like to have my money returned. I even offered to allow them to keep a payment for **** in case I was mistaken on the final payment and was refused unless I signed a new twelve month contract. I was very rude at this point due to much anger and aggravation.Business Response

Dear *******,
We do apologize for the confusion. Your agreement would have been fulfilled after the finial payment on June 24th. Since you had closed before that payment was made we had to apply the early termination fee. We will however refund the difference from the finial payment and the early termination fee. Please keep in mind it could take five to seven business days to reach your account. Your account is closed and you will no longer receive services. If you have any other questions or concerns please give us a call ************.

I was initially charged for services from Hawx Pest control in **************** in 2021 but they never rendered their service. They didn't show up or complete any of the items they said they would. I asked that they cancel it and refund me since they never showed up. Never heard back from them. As of today 6/13/24 Hawx Pest Control tried to charge my card $395 and have no business doing so. This should be considered theft or fraud.Business Response

Dear ***,
Thank you for reaching out to us. We appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns. Your feedback is important to us, and we take it seriously.
Upon reviewing the account, we observed that we encountered difficulties in completing the initial service due to the painting activity inside your home. We made several attempts to schedule a follow-up appointment and requested payment for the outstanding balance to proceed with the service. Unfortunately, despite our efforts, we were unable to establish communication with you or receive payment, which prevented us from returning to the property.
As the account remained overdue for an extended period and we were unable to fulfill the terms of the agreement, we regrettably had to close it and apply the cancellation fee.
Should you have any further questions or require clarification, please feel free to contact us at ************. We remain committed to resolving this matter to the best of our ability.Sincerely,

I decided to use this company after the knocked on my door. The sprayed that same day, on the next month they just showed up with no warning while nobody was home, they sprayed my neighbors home, not mine. Which drove a bunch of mosquitos to my home which was actually part of the door knockers pitch that spraying my home would send mosquitos to the homes around mine. When I called and told them they sprayed the wrong house they made an appointment to come again. The sprayed the exact same house. At this point there was a huge influx of mosquitos at my home, when I called they said they could send somebody back out in a week. I said no I would just like to cancel and be refunded for the spray that was at the neighbors home. They informed me they couldnt refund me and there would be a $199 cancelation charge. How can you not refund somebody for a service you provided to the wrong home? Also in regards to the cancellation charge in their contract it says If they fail to provide service no cancel charge will be applied. The response I got was they still have a chance to provide the service next week. This is ludicrous since they already charged me for a service and I didnt receive it and their error made my home worse. The customer service rep talked in circles. Just a complete unprofessional company . Do not use.Business Response

A Hawx salesperson came to my front door and sold me on weekly insect service for $100 a month on My 15th. This was specifically sold to me as a way to get rid of mosquitos in our backyard.On May 29th, I sent the Hawx sales rep a photo of my 2 year old's back, which was absolutely covered in bites after being outside for about 15 minutes.I texted the sales rep ********** doesn't seem to be working well."On Friday May 31st, I texted again, "hi ***** - still havent seen anyone come to service."He responds, "They should be there tomorrow afternoon between 12-4."On Saturday June 1st at 6 pm, I respond, "Nobody showed up."He responds, "Just called our tech guy and he was super busy today and unfortunately missed your appointment. I'm just now hearing about it, we'll be there June 3rd between 8-12. I'm so sorry about this, it was just a miscommunication."The following day (June 2nd) I got a text confirmation from the company and it alerted me that they were coming to service my property, but the text message included the incorrect address. So I texted *****, "This is not even the right address, which confirms my suspicion that we still have not had our property serviced a single time. It's been two weeks since you guys first charged me. That's two weeks that i've been charged for service and not received any. Either cancel my policy and and refund the first payment or explain to me what you guys are going to do to make this right."He responds, " I'm so sorry that the wrong address was put in, that is my fault. I'll get that first service done for free for you guys and we'll refund that first treatment."Well today I called to cancel my contract. Not only would they not refund me, but they also charged me a $200 early termination fee because I was outside their 3-day refund window. So now I'm $300 in and they haven't provided any service.Stay as far away from this company as you can.Business Response

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Hawx Pest Control, located in *****. I have encountered significant issues with their service and billing practices that remain unresolved despite my efforts to address them directly with the company.Around I will,November,December, January. I was scheduled to receive pest control treatment at my home. However, due to a system error on the part of Hawx Pest Control, this appointment was canceled without notification, and no service was rescheduled or provided. Despite this, I have been charged $100.00 dollars for service that was never performed. When I talked with ************** also paid hawk $46.00 dollars and this was supposed to be closed. In an attempt to resolve this issue, I spoke with a manager named ******. ****** acknowledged the system error and assured me that, given the credits I had received, I should not be charged for the missed service, and my account should be closed. He promised to follow up with a phone call to confirm the resolution. Unfortunately, it has been over a month since that conversation, and I have yet to receive any follow-up communication from ****** Hawx Pest Control.Instead of resolving the issue, I am now being harassed daily with demands for payment for a service that was never rendered. This situation is unacceptable and has caused me significant distress.I am seeking the BBB's assistance to resolve this matter. Specifically, I request that:1. Hawx Pest Control ceases all demands for payment for the unprovided service.2. My account with ********************** is officially closed, as previously indicated by ******.3. I receive a formal apology from Hawx Pest Control for the inconvenience and harassment I have experienced.Business Response

The charges were invoiced before the closure of the account that makes them valid, we are unable to provide services if an account has a overdue balance. However we will remove the outstanding balance. Your account is now closed with a zero balance. If you have any other questions or concerns please give us a call at ************.

I obtained a 12 mo. contract with this company . They did not deliver as promised to their part of the contract. last service was not provided. I was told to reactivate the account in order to get the last service. I did, I was told I was not going to get billed. Never got the last service and now I'm being billed again a $49.00 monthly service fee. I closed the account and still being charged. I want the fee removed, they breached the contract by not providing the last quarterly service. I have a ring camera and video, where the employee only took a picture of the house outside and never came to service the house.Business Response

The business had solicitors in my neighborhood. Firstly I have a no soliciting sign on my door so the contact was already a violation. The representative gave me the impression that I would be paying for a one time pest service, that I could cancel afterward. The representative was uncomfortably pushy as well, despite telling him multiple times that I wasn't sure and that my husband is deployed, and I wanted to check with him first. Thinking it would be a one time purchased, I got the initial service, only to get a contract [my husband] stating we were in a contract for a year. Upon contacting their company and letting them know the deception of their rep, they pushed that we would have to pay their cancellation fee, which they state is 400 dollars. This is a deceptive and horrible tactic and I have seen many reviews of people getting this same treatment. I don't want to pay for the deception and want something to be done so future people will not be deceived and scammed out of money.I also want this deceptive contract cancelled without their fees. No one deserves that kinda surprise.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
I did not see a welcome video or anything. I was given the impression by your representative that I was signing for a one time treatment. He said that if I wanted to continued the service, all I had to do was call and showed me what your prices were, but again I had stated specifically to your representative that I did not want to start a service until I consulted with my deployed husband.
If what I signed was for a service, it was definitely fraudulent. Your company is horrible.

We do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Upon signing the agreement, you had received a copy of the service agreement in an email. In the agreement it explains the early termination fee. Since you did not fulfill the agreement we had to add the fee.

I am rejecting this response because:The requested date of closure was prior to the charge. The amount of time it takes for your company to close an account is irrelevant to any charges incurred. No services were completed between the request of closure and the charge. If I was charged for another month then I would expect to receive services for the month I paid (June). You can either return the money or provide service. You cannot take money without providing a service.
