      In July 2024, I signed with Hawx pest control. I was offered quarterly services for monthly payments. I was told by the salesman I could cancel at anytime. They have been trying to reach me to collect payment. When I click on links provided in texts, theyre expired. When I try to call , I stay on hold. Yesterday I was able to get on website and saw that they havent provided service since October 2024. I was able to talk with someone and she said it was because I had a balance from Jan and Feb. I said I wasnt going to pay because services werent provided. She said she would take off one of the charges, $50. I said I wanted to talk with someone else and that I wanted to cancel services. I was transferred, told same story, and asked to cancel about 5 times. I also asked to talk to manager and employee stated she was an account manager. I stated if she wasnt going to help me cancel, I was going to hang up. I hung up the phone and got a text stating charges were going to continue to accrue until I called and canceled with account manager. I replied that I already talked with account manager and they could listen to recording. I also replied to an email yesterday that I was canceling. At this point, I feel they are harassing me. Ive tried to block numbers but they message me from unlisted numbers. I was told at point of sale I could cancel at anytime. Ive told them Im not paying for services not provided.

      I signed up for pest control services. They came out once to spray for roaches. The technician told me that to treat for the kind of roaches we had involved an up charge fee of $600 that had to be paid upfront and we cant afford that. He also stated that there was no need for him to come back because it wouldnt do any good. A technician came back to verify the type of roaches. Since then no one has come back. I stopped paying for services that I didnt receive. They took 3 payments out. Now they are threatening to sue if we dont pay the rest. I want them to end the contract and refund a portion of my money for services not received.

      Signed up in 8/2/2024. Salesmen said I could cancel with no penalty. I tried to cancel due to cost but told no cancellation fee. They said it was incorrect for salesmen to say that. I did sign thinking I could cancel. They reduced rate some. I tried again 3/10/2025 to cancel. Explained again that I was verbally told could cancel. I want to cancel effectively immediately, no additional charges and no cancellation fee. Refund for what I have paid.

      Hawx pest Control has been well aware that I have canceled my service. My card on file with them expired, and they still went ahead and charged the card without my authorization. After I canceled my service, I never updated my card information, but still somehow got a random charge on my Old credit card. Hawx Pest Control charged me a $49 fee that keeps growing. When I called to cancel my service, I asked the sales rep if I owed any money, and she said no. Months later I Have an unauthorized charge on my credit card. I called Hawx to remind them that I canceled my service, and they said that I still have to pay the$49. Fast-forward to present day, I get a letter in the mail saying that they are going to send me to collections. I have not received any service since I canceled Hawx, and I am adamant about not having to pay them the money that they keep charging. I paid for a year of service upfront, and Hawkes chose to keep charging my card on file, even though I did not want to extend my services past the year. I am asking for my $59 back, as Hawx is being very aggressive and predatory b with trying to get me to pay for zero service. It is well documented that I have called to cancel my service and have told them that I should not be charged for a fee when I am not getting service. It is not my fault that the customer service representative told me that I did not owe any money after I called to cancel. Their contract that they use to trap people is found nowhere. They keep stating that my bill is going to keep growing per their contract, but I’ve already canceled my service.

      The payment made on March 5, 2025, corresponds to the monthly fee invoiced on October 25, 2024, which also included late fees. This charge was applied prior to the closure of your account on November 6, 2024, and is therefore valid. Please be assured that your account has been closed and now reflects a zero balance.

      Complaint: ********

      I am rejecting this response because: It is well aware and documented that I called to close my account MONTHS ago. I have been held hostage all of these months to “close” my account with extra charges. This is fraudulent, as when I called to cancel my account months ago, I asked if there was additional charges and I was told no. Fast forward to now, I have an unauthorized charge that even my bank has accepted as fraud. I paid the the payment on March 5 because I was sent a threatening email about being sent to collections but I challenging the validity of why I was even charged in the first place. I am requesting a refund due to your predatory and illegal practices. I have also reported this to the FTC. 

      Sincerely,

      A sales representative came to my home on 2/8/25 and made false claims in order to convince me to sign up with Hawx. He told me he, or someone from his company, would reach out to my current pest control provider to cancel their services. He insisted this was something **** could offer me to make the transition easier. I made a $75 payment to begin services. The following day, 2/9/25, Hawx came to my home to perform pest control services. On 2/18/25, I was billed by the pest control company **** advised me they would cancel on my behalf. On 2/26/25, I discussed the failure to cancel the second service with **** customer service. I was advised by ******* that Hawx was not able to cancel another service on my behalf, despite what I was told by the sales representative. I asked to cancel my ************ and was told I would be responsible for a $199 cancellation fee. I am disappointed I was misled, in order to sign an agreement for a service. I was not allowed to speak with anyone else on behalf of the company, despite my asking multiple times.

      This company's sales people make false claims about length of contracts, and the ability to drop the service. Their system makes it virtually impossible to drop them as a service provider. I've closed them out from my checking account automatic payment and they continue to harrass me with 3-5 emails per week.

      Complaint: ********

      I am rejecting this response because this is the crux of the matter. They want early termination fees when their sales people explicitly lied about these costs.  I guess  I will settle for not allowing them access to my account through automatic withdrawal and continue to be harrassed by the company.  I've asked around with other customers and discovered lots of other folks have had this negative experience with this company.

      I can't find the date of last service but they did not show up on a scheduled day. Did not give us a heads up they were coming and then submitted pictures saying they sprayed my house but they posted fake pictures of my backyard saying they serviced my house. They have also showed up to my house and used my hose to fill their trucks large spray tank. Twice they have left my house and left the gate open so my dogs got out.

      Hawks pest control continues to try and extort payments from my charge card. I had their service for over a year and cancelled due to poor service and shoddy work. They continued to bill my credit card after I cancelled with them. I called my credit card company to stop payments to them. I then thought the problem was solved. But a year and a half later they started billing my credit card again. I called my credit card company and was told stop payments to a business only last a year and a half. Hawx knows this and started billing my credit card again. This business is nothing more than a cash grab and if you read the complaints here you will see they do this to everyone. Now they are calling me daily trying to get me to pay them for nothing. My Brother, Sister and Father in law are all prominent Wisconsin Attorneys, and I am going to sue them for emotional harassment and distress. It won't cost me a dime to file a suit, but it will cost them more than I ever paid them to defend themselves in court !!!

      I have had one issue after another with your company. First I had a salesman come to my door to sell me Hawx Services. The services he promised were not the services I found I was signed up for. When I contacted the company to ******, I was told I couldnt cancel until a month before the contract ended. I asked for notification the night before treatments 3 times but that was never done either. When I called to make it clear that I would honor the contract even though it was not what I had been told, but that I did not want to be on automatic renewal, I was told the company could not do that and that nothing could be done until a month before my contract expired. I tried to contact the company during business hours to pay off the contract in full even without services but the site chat feature said I had to call during business hours even though it was during that time. I have tried to fulfill my part of the contract but the company has been dishonest and difficult to work with.

      If you choose to pay off the remaining balance of your agreement, your account will still be within the first-year term. As a result, your account will remain active until you provide notice to close it after fulfilling the agreement terms.

      If you wish to cancel before either party has fulfilled their obligations, an early termination fee of $199 will apply.

      I contacted them for a quote. I did not accept the quote. I advised them I went with a a different company then they wanted me to tell them who I went with and how much they charged me. I advised them that I was not giving them this information, and ask them to stop calling me. The company continues to call me up to as many as 5 times a day. I ask them to remove me from any type of call list and I have reported them as spam and blocked them and they call from a different number repeatedly. I just want others to know that they will hound you over and over if you don't accept their quote.
