**Answer:** As of November 5, 2026, Barefoot Mosquito & Pest Control’s own terms or statements set a 12-month minimum term and an early-cancellation fee. Customers report being charged 80% of the remaining contract balance. Service continues after the initial term until you cancel. Two customer accounts describe terms misstated at the sale.
