  • Plans include quarterly visits and free re-treatments between visits; free rodent call-backs may carry a charge if exclusion work was not done.12

  • A 12-month service agreement is required on the plans offered on the Salem promotion page (setup fee waived for new Salem customers through Sept 1, 2026).13

  • ‘Switch & Save’ special advertises no setup fee and ‘NO Contract’ for new customers who present a competitor’s current contract (conflicts with the 12-month agreement stated elsewhere; terms not reconciled on the site).14

  • Company advertises a satisfaction guarantee / free re-service guarantee on quarterly plans.15

  • Customer reports (Google, Kelso listing, about 2 years before October 11, 2026): $260 setup fee plus $37/month for quarterly service; owner reply confirms ‘that is our standard pricing for our basic quarterly service’.16

    Confirmed verbatim in the researcher’s Google Maps capture (October 12, 2026, 02:16 UTC); live re-sort was blocked by Google’s sign-in prompt during verification.

  • Customer report (Google, Kelso listing, about 8 years before October 11, 2026) says the plan could not be cancelled for a full year.16

    Confirmed verbatim in the researcher’s Google Maps capture (October 12, 2026, 02:16 UTC); live re-sort was blocked by Google’s sign-in prompt during verification.

  • Customer report (Google review syndicated on HomeAdvisor, Sep 2025): $280 to set up and $45 per month.17

Pointe Pest Control 13 terms

  • Ongoing service auto-continues after the first year until the customer cancels.10

  • Billing is per service at time of service; details are in the individual contract.10

  • Discount offered for paying a year in advance.10

  • Termite and bed bug work is not in regular service; separate inspection and agreement.10

  • One-time services are not recommended; typical plan is quarterly.10

  • Quarterly home program with free return visits between services (company page).15

  • Guarantee: free re-service, then refund of last service payment if problem persists.10

  • Promotional price: $31 initial general pest control service in October 2026 (company Instagram feed embedded on site).16

  • No public price list; quote only after inspection. Third-party reviewer notes contract/cancellation-fee terms are not published.17

  • Two BBB complainants (Sept 2024, June 2026) say written or online cancellation was not accepted and they were told to phone; one says she was then referred to a salesperson.18

  • Company-stated early termination fee of $95 on the 12-month plan (company reply on Angi, Moses Lake branch listing, June/July 2017, before the 2023 PestCo acquisition). The reply says customers choose between a single treatment and a 12-month plan, and the fee clause is printed above the signature line and repeated in the contract’s Terms and Conditions.19

  • Two independent first-hand reports of a $95 cancellation fee on PNW branch listings: a customer of the Spokane branch (Angi Pasco listing, April 2013) says he was told by phone that the only way to cancel ‘per the signed agreement’ was to pay $95; a Moses Lake-listing customer (June 2017) says that, after being told at sign-up they could cancel any time, they were told of the $95 fee when they asked to cancel (the reviewer adds that the fee is in the contract). Both reports predate the 2023 PestCo acquisition.14, 19

  • The website Terms of Use (PestCo, effective 7/20/2023) require binding AAA arbitration and an individual-only (no class) basis for disputes ‘relating to the application, interpretation, implementation or validity of these Terms’, with Delaware law and St. Louis venue. These terms govern use of the website; no source shows whether the residential service agreement has an arbitration clause.20
