## What the record says about canceling Fox Pest Control

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

- Company (BBB response, 09/28/2026): an early termination fee is assessed under the signed service agreement when a customer cancels before the end of the agreed service term. (sources [4](https://www.bbb.org/us/ut/logan/profile/pest-control/fox-pest-control-hq-1126-90016347/complaints)) Quote: “the early termination fee was assessed in accordance with the terms of the signed service agreement”
- Company (BBB response, 09/03/2026): states a $250 early termination fee on one account, which it waived. (sources [17](https://www.bbb.org/us/ut/logan/profile/pest-control/fox-pest-control-hq-1126-90016347/complaints?page=2)) Quote: “The early termination fee of $250 has been waived, and Mr. REMOVEDaccount balance remains at $0.00.”
- Company (BBB response, 09/01/2026): one door-to-door customer’s Service Agreement ran 24 months although he had been told 12; Fox closed the account without the fee. (sources [17](https://www.bbb.org/us/ut/logan/profile/pest-control/fox-pest-control-hq-1126-90016347/complaints?page=2)) Quote: “Our office reviewed his account and verified that his Service Agreement was for a 24-month period. However, because he was given the expectation of only 12 months of service, our Branch Manager approved closing the account with no early termination fee.”
- Website Terms of Use include binding AAA arbitration of “any controversies, claims, counterclaims or other disputes between you and us” and a class/representative-action waiver. The Terms govern access to and use of the Fox website, define “You” as a user of the Site and say they “apply only to the Website and the associated products and services we offer”; they do not mention the residential service agreement, which is not published. (sources [20](https://fox-pest.com/terms-of-use/)) Quote: “THESE TERMS OF USE CONTAIN AN ARBITRATION PROVISION AND WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.”
- Customer (BBB complaint, 07/10/2026) reports being signed to a 12-month contract after asking for three months, and being quoted a $300 cancellation fee. Fox’s response (07/15/2026) apologizes for “the miscommunication regarding the expected duration of service” and says her understanding “differed from the agreement on file”; it does not state the agreement’s length. (sources [18](https://www.bbb.org/us/ut/logan/profile/pest-control/fox-pest-control-hq-1126-90016347/complaints?page=4)) Quote: “Despite that, he signed me up for a 12-month contract without my consent.”
- Customer (BBB complaint, 06/30/2026) quotes the agreement: cancel by midnight of the 3rd business day, otherwise repay the signing discount plus a $300 early termination fee. The complainant describes the plan both as an “18 month program” and as “$67.00 per month for 1 year program”. (sources [18](https://www.bbb.org/us/ut/logan/profile/pest-control/fox-pest-control-hq-1126-90016347/complaints?page=4)) Quote: “Agreement stated buyer could cancel prior to midnight of 3rd business day after transaction, otherwise responsible to repay the discount and early contract termination fee of $300.”
- Customer (BBB complaint, 09/17/2026, door-to-door sale) says she was told she was locked into a 24-month contract with a $300 early termination fee. (sources [4](https://www.bbb.org/us/ut/logan/profile/pest-control/fox-pest-control-hq-1126-90016347/complaints)) Quote: “they eventually told me on September 9th that we were locked into a 24 month contract with a $300 early termination fee”
- Customer (BBB complaint, 07/22/2026) reports a 30-day notice requirement to avoid a $250 cancellation fee at the end of a 1-year contract, and being told a manager phone call was required to close the account. (sources [19](https://www.bbb.org/us/ut/logan/profile/pest-control/fox-pest-control-hq-1126-90016347/complaints?page=3)) Quote: “There is apparently a requirement that states a 30 day notice to avoid $250 cancellation fee.”
- Iowa City Google reviewer reports a 2-year contract, continued charges after the term ended, and being told twice to speak to a manager to cancel. (sources [10](https://www.google.com/maps?cid=3167877004724306028)) Quote: “I signed a 2 year contract with them and they literally do not understand the word CANCEL after there 2 years have ended.”
