How do I cancel Barrier Pest Control, and is there a cancellation fee?

What the record says about canceling Barrier Pest Control

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

• Company-stated: the Quarterly Pest Control Program is an annual commitment (12 months); the early-cancellation fee is $180, described as repayment of the up-front discount for committing to a year.⁸

  “early cancellation fee of $180. This fee represents the discount provided for customers who commit to a year of service, as opposed to choosing one-time treatments.”

• Website terms of use (disclaimer page) contain no arbitration or class-action-waiver clause and cover only use of the website (Idaho governing law). The service agreement itself is not published, so its renewal, cancellation-channel and dispute terms are unknown.¹²
