## What the record says about canceling Aruza Pest Control

Company terms and statements first, then customers’ reports. Each links to its source; quotes are the source’s exact words.

- Company cancellation policy page: canceling within the first 12 months (after the 3-day period) costs the lesser of the remaining first-year balance or a $200 flat fee. (sources [17](https://www.aruzapest.com/aruza-cancellation-policy-support/)) Quote: “Within the first 12 months (after 3 days): The lesser of remaining balance or $200”
- Company cancellation policy page: after the initial 12 months, service may be canceled at any time with written notice and no fee (service continues past the first year until canceled). The page’s FAQ (in the page HTML, collapsed in the visible text) adds that ‘After the first 12 months, a 30-day written notice is required.’ (sources [17](https://www.aruzapest.com/aruza-cancellation-policy-support/)) Quote: “After the first 12 months: Cancel anytime with written notice; no cancellation fee”
- Company cancellation policy page: cancellation is requested by phone or email. (sources [17](https://www.aruzapest.com/aruza-cancellation-policy-support/)) Quote: “Contact our customer support team by phone or email. We will review your account and guide you through the process.”
- Company cancellation policy page: for home solicitation sales, a 3-business-day right to cancel by written notice, with no fee. (sources [17](https://www.aruzapest.com/aruza-cancellation-policy-support/)) Quote: “Written notice must be provided before midnight of the third business day after the day you signed the agreement”
- Company satisfaction guarantee: if a covered pest is not resolved within 30 days after at least two re-services, the customer may cancel without a termination fee (account must be current and conditions met). (sources [17](https://www.aruzapest.com/aruza-cancellation-policy-support/)) Quote: “You may cancel your agreement without a termination fee”
- Company BBB response (09/16/2025): a $151 early-cancellation charge was the initial discount repaid under the 12-month service agreement; a ‘Welcome Call’ restates the terms before the first service. (sources [18](https://www.bbb.org/us/nc/charlotte/profile/pest-control/aruza-pest-control-of-charlotte-0473-613500/complaints)) Quote: “The $151 fee the customer is referring to is the initial discount provided when the customer took out service. As part of our 12 month service agreement (attached), those terms are highlighted and laid out.”
- Company BBB response (08/01/2025): the initial discount is given on the understanding of a 12-month agreement and must be paid back if canceled before 12 months. (sources [8](https://www.bbb.org/us/nc/charlotte/profile/pest-control/aruza-pest-control-of-charlotte-0473-613500/complaints?page=2)) Quote: “The discount provided is done so with the understanding that this is a 12 month agreement. If the agreement is cancelled prior to those 12 months being fulfilled, the discount would have to be paid back.”
- Company BBB response (05/05/2025) to a customer quoting the agreement’s renewal clause: the company added an expiration date so the program would ‘not auto-renew’ past the initial 12-month term. The customer’s review quotes the agreement: it ‘will automatically renew after the initial term on a month to month basis unless either party gives notice in writing, at least thirty (30) days prior to the next billing date’. (sources [10](https://www.bbb.org/us/nc/charlotte/profile/pest-control/aruza-pest-control-of-charlotte-0473-613500/customer-reviews)) Quote: “I will add a expiration date on the program so that it will not auto-renew beyond the end of the initial”
- Website Terms & Conditions (effective March 2026) govern website use only (North Carolina law and courts). The residential service agreement itself is not published, so arbitration or class-waiver terms are unknown. (sources [2](https://www.aruzapest.com/terms-conditions/)) Quote: “Any disputes arising from these Terms or website use shall be resolved in the appropriate courts located within North Carolina.”
- Not found: price list. Consumer reports on the HQ BBB profile mention recurring charges of about $40-$92 per service and early-cancellation fees of $200-$350; these are not company-stated. (sources [9](https://www.bbb.org/us/nc/charlotte/profile/pest-control/aruza-pest-control-of-charlotte-0473-613500/customer-reviews?page=2)) Quote: “I want to cancel my contract without paying the $200 fee.”
