Contract terms

Terms as recorded from the linked sources.

Bulwark Exterminating 10 terms

  • Company-stated initial term: in a 12/28/2023 BBB response the company said the customer’s signed service agreement committed to an initial full year of service.12

  • Company-stated renewal and cancellation terms (termite warranty agreement): the warranty renewed month to month after its term, and either party may cancel with 30 days’ written notice (BBB response 04/10/2024).12

  • Company-stated renewal (termite warranty, Tucson BBB file): after the prepaid extension ends, coverage moves to a $14.85 monthly renewal fee (BBB response 02/16/2026).13

  • Company cancellation instructions: call Customer Support (described as quickest), or download the formal cancellation request form and submit it as the form instructs; customers are told to check their service agreement for cancellation policies or possible fees.14

  • The posted cancellation form is a three-business-day Notice of Cancellation, canceled by mailing or delivering written notice to a Dallas, Texas PO box.11

  • Money-back guarantee scope per the company (BBB response 04/11/2024): a refund of the most recent service charge, not the payment history.12

  • Consumer-reported early-cancellation fee of $300 after a door-to-door sale (one first-hand BBB complaint, 10/10/2025; state not shown).9

  • Company-described warranty billing: warranty-program services are billed in monthly installments rather than per visit (BBB response 01/28/2026).15

  • New-home complimentary service: per the company, it carries a 60-day retreatment warranty and no obligation to continue regular service (BBB response 05/28/2025).15

  • Customer-reported payment option (Las Vegas Google review): month-to-month payments or paying upfront.16

Greenix Pest Control 7 terms

  • Company-stated (website Terms of Use, section 3 “Recurring Services”, effective 7 Nov 2025; the section covers the pest-control service, not website use): recurring service continues until canceled and may renew automatically. Also company-stated in its BBB reply of 09/14/2026: services continue on a non-contractual basis until the customer notifies Greenix to discontinue.6, 7

  • Company-stated cancellation method: “contacting Greenix directly”; effective once a representative confirms; “may be subject to terms in the service agreement”. Not phone-only wording. The fee, minimum term and any arbitration clause sit in the separate signed service agreement, which is not published.7

  • The Terms of Use only govern use of the website (governing law Utah; disputes in Utah County courts). They contain no arbitration or class-waiver clause for service contracts, and the signed service agreement is not published, so the arbitration term is unknown.7

  • Advertised pricing: general pest, rodent control and termite prevention “Starting at $49.99/mo”; tick, flea and mosquito “Starting at $79.99/mo”; “pricing based on home size”.8

  • Guarantee: 48-hour service and free re-service between seasonal visits. BBB profile (Grimes, Iowa branch page) says free retreatments between quarterly services, and the last paid service is refunded if two retreatments fail (quarterly plans only).8, 9

  • Customer-reported, location not stated, pooled headquarters file: a complaint dated 10/10/2026 says the signed agreement was a “mandatory 12-month subscription at $69.99 per month plus tax” with a $299 early termination fee, and that a later agreement showed an initial term of “0 months” and a $249 cancellation fee. Not scored: no West location in the text.4

  • Customer-reported, pooled headquarters file: three more first-page complaints (Sept-Oct 2026) describe a $299 cancellation fee and one a $399 fee, one after a single service visit. Pages 2-4 add more $249, $299 and $300 fee reports and 12- and 18-month term reports. Only one of these reports is tied to a West state: the 09/29/2026 Minnesota complaint ($299 plus tax).4
