How to complain about a pest control company
Annual contracts and 'guaranteed' treatments make this a cancellation and warranty category.
What goes wrong most often
- Auto-renewal after cancellation
- Guarantee refused on a return infestation
- Treatment billed but never performed
The evidence that decides it
- The service agreement and guarantee terms
- Service tickets with technician signatures
- Photos of the continuing infestation
Cite the guarantee language, then what happened when you invoked it.
The regulator most people never use
State department of agriculture (pesticide applicator licensing)
