Orkin 11 terms

  • Orkin does not publish prices; cost is quoted locally.3

  • Residential guarantee: free re-service between scheduled treatments and a money-back guarantee (company terms).10

  • The About page describes the residential money-back guarantee as 30 days.3

  • Orkin says its commercial ‘Triple Guarantee’ includes a 2-hour response/24-hour on-site guarantee, reimbursement of regulatory fines caused solely by pests, and three 60-day complimentary-service guarantees (company terms).10

  • Customer report (Kent, Washington Google review): a one-time wasp treatment came with a 30-day warranty.13

  • Orkin’s official cancellation policy states that standard recurring residential pest control plans require a 12-month initial agreement, that customers must call 877-819-5061 or their local branch to cancel (no online self-service cancellation), and that canceling before the initial 12-month term ends requires paying the remaining balance under the service agreement.14

EcoShield Pest Solutions 16 terms

  • Company states it offers 2-year contracts.22

  • Company statement in its response to the BBB pattern-of-complaints alert (Lenexa, Kansas file): the updated service agreement says on page 1 that it is for an initial 12-month subscription period and “AUTO RENEWS UNTIL CANCELLED”.25

  • Same company statement: the agreement provides several cancellation methods, including telephone, email and written notice, and an early-termination fee with a declining structure.25

  • Company reply to a Dallas-branch BBB complaint (01/05/2026) states the early termination fee is $250 and valid under the agreement (waived as goodwill in that case).26

  • Company reply to a Fort Worth BBB complaint (09/23/2026) states the early termination fee is $255.00.27
