Contract terms

Terms as recorded from the linked sources.

Pointe Pest Control 14 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

  • Current post-acquisition (PestCo-era, 2023–present) PNW customer reports on BBB (Ariel G., Aug 2026) and Salem Google/Yelp state that cancelling during the initial 12-month agreement triggers a demand for the full remaining contract balance (100% of remaining balance), superseding the pre-acquisition 2013/2017 $95 fee reported on older Angi listings.21

Axiom Eco-Pest Control 8 terms

  • Axiom said in a January 2026 BBB response that a customer’s agreement ran 18 months and that the term “is also printed in bold on the agreement near the consumers signature”.8

  • Several BBB complainants (2026) report a $299 early-cancellation charge.8

  • A BBB complainant’s sign-up notes (April 2025): $159 initial, $139 quarterly, 2-year contract, 30-day written notice to cancel. These are consumer-reported terms.8

  • A BBB complainant (April 2026) says service continues after the agreed term unless the customer calls during a specified window, and cancelling early triggered a $299 fee quote.8

  • Company FAQ does not state a cancellation fee; it tells customers to ask, before booking, what pricing or promotions apply and what cancellation or contract terms come with the plan.16

  • Guarantee: “Pest-Free Promise” covers free re-services between scheduled visits for covered pests.16

  • Thumbtack reviewer quote (March 2026, Washington): two-year term, $150 first visit, $125 per visit.17

  • Google reviewer (Central Point, Oregon) says the salesperson described a 6-month contract with no cancellation fee, but at cancellation it was 18 months.14
