Contract terms

Terms as recorded from the linked sources.

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

Spidexx Pest Control & Termite 10 terms

  • Company-published California service terms (Spidexx Pest Control CA Inc.): after the initial 12-month period the agreement stays in effect until canceled in writing with 30 days notice (continues until the customer cancels; written notice, not phone-only).12

  • Company-published California terms: canceling before the end of the 12-month period forfeits all coupons and discounts; “applicable termination fees” are mentioned for delinquent accounts but no amount is stated.12

  • Company-published California terms: mandatory AAA arbitration and a class/collective action waiver in the service agreement.12

  • Company terms page (spidexx.com/terms-conditions, headed “Notice To Owner / Tenant”, with the pesticide list, liability and late-payment terms of the pest-control service agreement; not website-use terms): mandatory arbitration under AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules for claims “relating to this agreement”. The page says nothing about term length, renewal or cancellation; those are in the signed agreement, which is not published outside California.13

  • Company-stated (BBB reply, Urbandale Iowa file, 11/30/2023): the contract has a cancellation fee; on 12/01/2023 the company removed the early termination fee and a $35 collections fee for this customer. No standard amount is stated by the company.9

  • Customer report (BBB complaint 11/30/2023, Urbandale Iowa file, first-hand): “year long contract” at $50/month; told on canceling that a $229 cancellation fee was owed.9

  • Company website refers to a separate signed service agreement (“as outlined in your service agreement”, “subject to the scope and terms of the service agreement”), which is not published outside California.14

  • Customer report (BBB review 08/23/2024, first-hand, Urbandale Iowa file): reps explained fees poorly; the initial fee was charged again within the first month; canceling is “another fee” (no amount).8

  • Company website terms: late payment 2% per month after 30 days; $35 returned-check fee.13

  • Out-of-region context (Tampa Florida BBB file, outside the 24 states): two 2024 complaints cite a $229 cancellation or early-termination fee, and the company’s 05/20/2024 reply says the agreement emailed after the sale outlines the early termination fee.15

    BBB (pooled corporate file)

    Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Utah, Missouri and Nebraska pesticide regulators

    No enforcement action, penalty or license discipline was found. Minnesota, Iowa, Utah, Kansas and Missouri do not publish enforcement lists (state source guides), so this is an absence in what is public, not proof of none. State AG, FTC and court searches (searches) returned nothing about Greenix.44
