  Ecoshield Pest control continually has their sales guys stop at our house even after listening and saying no. They come the next day and the next. They are very pushy and ignore no soliciting signs. They have no respect for anyone and only care about pressuring you into buying their service.

  On April 23, 2025 a solicitor came to my door even though I have a no solicitation sign on the front door but my husband open the door and he call me to hear the salesman product. He was a good salesman and told me how great the product was and how great their product was to the environment and to kill all kind of pest. He told me that the service was satisfaction guaranteed. After a few minutes of talk and the fact that we were leaving to have dinner and was getting late for us elderly couple, I agreed to try the service but he never said that if I was to cancel the service there will be a penalty (Lack of full disclosure) he asked me to sign here and there and I was in a hurry. I told him I wanted to have the inside of the house fumigated too and because the high price I was expecting excellent service and excellent product.
  I told the salesman that I work long hours and will not be home but my husband will and he can open the door for him to fumigate inside the garage, etc. They did not do a good work and did not fumigate my window wells, garage, around the hot tub, etc. I tried to call next day several times with no response, after waiting on the phone for over 20 minutes, someone answered the phone and told me that he will have someone call me next day but nobody did. I called again today 4/25/25 and after a long wait Hanna the CSR answered the phone. She was not helpful and she basically told me they will charge me a penalty for early cancelation. During the call I realized the company outsource offshore and I was told that the Ecoshield was a family business local from Utah. I want my account cancelled and any charge to my account refunded. Companies need to be honest and respect their customer and do what you pay for or refund your money. I hope this serves as a warning to the general public.

  Hi ****, 
  
  Thank you for reaching out with your concerns. I want to sincerely apologize for any possible miscommunication during the time of sign-up. For situations like these where information can be quickly ran through or mistakenly missed, we send out a welcome to the family text highlighting the three most important details of our contract, which lists the type of contract you are on, the billable cycles, and the cancellation process which states if you decide to term your contract, you are responsible for paying back the discount given to you at the time of service. All of this information was sent in a text which was acknowledged and agreed to when you responded  "Yes" to that message. 
  
  Given the situation, I am truly empathetic and want to part ways in good standing. With this being said, I am going to do a one time courtesy waive for your remaining balance on the account as an act in good faith. Unfortunately, I am unable to refund a service charge. I hope this helps and you are able to find the treatment that is most helpful for your home.

  Complaint: ********
  
  
  
  I am rejecting this response because: If I understand correctly, the company waives the "cancellation charges" but will not refund the service charge.  The company offer satisfaction guarantee. the job was NOT completed, why should I pay full payment for 1/2 service. The least I expect for the FULL service charge is to do what they promised me they were going to do.  Spray inside the home, outside by the window wells and hot tub and place bait for mice.  They did not respond to my calls the first few days, then they said they were going to come back and complete the work but they didn't.  Why should I pay for incomplete work?  Can a business just lie and take my money? There has to be accountability and responsibility. I expect for them to either finish the work they charged me for (full service) or refund for the incomplete work performed.  Thank you.
  
  
  
  Sincerely,

  Was sold on was pest control. Business did not provide contracted service. Reached out to cancel and get refund directly from business was told no less than 15 times I would have my service cancelled and get a refund. Neither ever happened. Filed a dispute with my credit card and won the dispute. After winning dispute was finally contacted and told my service would be cancelled and I would get a refund, I advised at that time I had already gotten my money but still wanted service cancelled. Business is now claiming I owe them funds that were refunded by credit card company for dispute and threatening to send me to collections.

  We signed a contract with Ecoshield for pest control in June with the initial treatment costing $185. Sales person said if we were unhappy with treatment a supplemental treatment would be provided at no additional cost. Requested the supplemental treatment through multiple phone calls while also providing documentation of concerns to call center and local office. Local office never called back or scheduled the supplemental treatment. This occurred over the course of several weeks. Disputed the original treatment charge of $185 with credit card and cancelled our contract. Ecoshield then attempted to charge a $200 contract fee, which they subsequently opened an internal investigation and ultimately waived. Credit card dispute sided with me on the original $185 fee and now Ecoshield is attempting to recharge me the $185 fee. Ecoshield did not provide their services adequately or as advertised by their sales force. As evidenced by the successful credit card charge dispute we do not owe Ecoshield anything

  Hi ****,

  Thank you for reaching out and providing details regarding your experience.

  I am rejecting this response because:
  

  Before I accept the resolution I needed clarification. The waiver that EcoSheild is referring to would be the $185 in this dispute and would effectively show a $0 balance and closed account and EcoSheild would not be pursuing any further payments whatsoever. If that is the case yes I accept. If the fee waiver refers to something else than Id need further explanation.

  EcoShield is a major scam and they are dishonest in their dealings. I initially signed on because I was sold on their vile/mouse products as well as their standard service. My main concern wasnt addressed because the salesmen said I would get two boxes. I didnt even get the first box on my initial service! They had to bring it weeks later and then I didnt get the second until I called multiple times and complained. Well, after all of that the boxes didnt even work! The voles were digging tunnels under and around the box! My initial service was garbage, I walked around after and found multiple areas they missed including a forming wasp nest on an eve that was obvious. I called to cancel because obviously there services were not working and they said they would come out for a complimentary service to address issues and they asked that I keep it for another quarter to give it time to work and that if I did they would waive the cancellation fee if I cancelled. So I paid for another quarter, still find voles a couple times a week, I see just as many insects as I did before. So I called to cancel and had to talk in circles with the customer care *** and after asking to speak with a manager was out on hold and then told because I no longer had a card on file she would close out my account. Thought it was fine until I got an email saying I owe $255 today!! Their product is a scam, their customer service is worse.

  a salesman came around in june of 2023 and pitched us a line on pest control and says as long as we use their services for a year you never have to pay a penalty. they seemed to be doing a good job till this year in May my wife tried to call and wasnt able to get thru was on hold for ***************************************************************************************** june my wife called again and was on hold for 30 minutes then disconnected. they did do the bimonthly service with no problem. cant get them out for a follow up. so on july 23rd i sent a text to the number that is automated and no response. then 8/21/24 i received another automated text about the bimonthly service and i just said no and they sent a follow up text asking what we meant and shortly afterwords i get a call asking what was going on and she looked up our information and says we are at the end of the contract and wont be getting charged to cancel. seemed like a easy thing and she was working with me and said she needed to send me over to another department that cancels the pest control. as soon as i get to that department all of a sudden everything changes. now we have to pay $200 cancelation fee and when i told him i was told i wouldnt have to pay it he said according to our control that is the way it is. we argued about this and i kept saying i was apparently lied to by the gal here in *********** when she said i wouldnt have to worry about paying. he didnt care. at the end he was if you took 2 more services he could cut the price down to $99 per service. I DONT WANT ANYMORE SERVICE. we cant get them to come and do follow *** and we have bugs all over. horrible business practice to force someone to do more services when they are not happy but they would release me from our contract if we did. he could alter the contract. hum interesting. i dont want the service and dont want to pay cancellation for crappy service

  In the last week of April 2024, I was approached by a gentleman as I was egressing my car. He was a sales manager for a company called Ecoshield Pest Control. He proceeded to give me a sales pitch about what Ecoshield could provide for me with regards to my home and surrounding property. He said he could offer me a discount on the services that Ecoshield can provide. At the time I was experiencing some sporadic ant infestations in my kitchen. I decided to give them a try after he said it would cost only $189.00. He had me sign a contract on his I-pad. I didn't receive any paperwork from him. The following day a service technician came to my home and proceeded to do his pest control actions. When he was finished, about 20 minutes later, he mentioned that two more applications were required, one in something like ten days, and a final one in something like 30 days. I asked him if the $189.00 covered all of the applications and he said no. He told me that each application was $189.00. That was not the impression I got from the initial salesperson. On April 23, 2024 I was charged $189.00 on my Visa card. I still didn't receive any paperwork or invoice from this company. I immediately called them and had my account cancelled. Now I'm being harassed on a weekly basis to pay an additional $211.00 for cancelling my account. The initial salesperson never mentioned anything about early cancellation penalties, because if he had I would have never hired them in the first place.

  These people were canvassing the neighborhood, they approached me and I Intially told them no that I wasn't interested. They kept persisting until I finally agreed to try it! We walked the scope of the yard and he told me what they were going to do. He then came in the house. I have a son who is deathly afraid of spiders and we have a lot of wasps. He pulled an IPad an said I needed to sign so they could bill my card. I again told them I didn't want an o going service. My daughter was there and heard me tell them. The next day they had someone come put. She carried a pack and acted like she was spraying. Absolutey nothing came out of the sprayer. They were supposed to lay traps foe mice and rats. Conveniently they didn't have any and wouldn't until September. The girl handed me a couple of sticky cards. I was flabbergasted and said you have got to be kidding me. I thought definitely not doing this again, complete waste of money. I then get a message telling me they were coming out again for a scheduled visit. I told them no, I only agreed to the one application. It was then that I learned that they signed me to a 24 month contract. I was livid and told them no that I didn't agree to this. Then the harassment started, constant phone calls, emails, text messages. I had to go to my bank and close out my account so they couldn't bill any further charges. It appears all.of their employees are regional managers. They sent out another person to talk to me and I refused to talk to him. He came back 4 times that day and begging what could he do to get my business back. He would not take no for an answer. I told my daughter to tell him that if he didn't leave then I would call the police. To this day, they keep sending me a bill and calling. I have blocked a couple if the numbers that they called from.
  I want to be left alone and I want a refund. I absolutely did not get what they represented.

  On or about 4 June 2024 an Eco Shield Representative stopped by and discussed their pest control program. I informed them that I had just had another company come out and perform pest control but would consider trying Eco Shield in the future. Today I received a text indicating Eco Shield was scheduled to come by on 31 August 2024 to perform an **************** The thing is I did not sign up for a service at any time. I contacted them via phone on 12 August 2024 and the phone representative informed me that the sales representative signed us up!Based on other complaints on this site, this appears to be the way Eco Shield regularly operates after speaking to clients. This is about as unethical as a company can get and is preying on all individuals they contact. I would highly caution anyone considering doing business with them to beware!The phone representative confirmed that the company would cancel "my account" which I never setup...however when asked, she provided me with an account number! She indicated I would receive a text or an email confirming cancellation within 1 hour.Again, Buyer Beware!! Not sure how this company shows a AAA rating. In my opinion, they are on the borderline of scamming anyone they contact. For what it's worth - I just received a call back from ******** at ********** and upon me answering, she acted as though she couldn't hear me. Not sure if there was a problem but seems kinda suspicious to me.
