Contract terms

Terms as recorded from the linked sources.

Presto-X Pest Control 3 terms

  • PestFree365+ is the residential plan: “a year round pest protection plan for your home” covering 39+ common pests; the page publishes no price, minimum term, renewal, cancellation or arbitration terms.11

  • Promotion: $50 off a new PestFree365+ plan with code SAVE50 (company promotion, not a contract term).5

  • The only legal page on the site is a “Legal statement” covering use of the website (copyright, accuracy, no investment offer). It contains no service agreement, cancellation, renewal or arbitration terms, so the service-contract terms are unpublished.2

Miller Pest Solutions 5 terms

  • Recurring plans require a one-year agreement; one-time treatments require no agreement (company FAQ, Des Moines page).7

  • In its own BBB reply (dated 07/09/2025) the company describes the complainant’s signed one-year service agreement (enrolled July 10, 2024, regular service visits) as renewing automatically each year unless canceled before the renewal date, and says the signed agreement authorizes charging the payment method on file. The reply describes that customer’s own agreement and names no plan; the signed agreement itself is not published, so its cancellation fee, cancellation channel and dispute terms are unknown.8

  • Published pricing: Miller HomePro 365 from $49.99/month with a $149.99 initial visit; one-time general pest treatments from $375.7

  • The only published “Terms & Conditions” page covers website content copyright; it contains no service-contract terms (term, renewal, cancellation, arbitration).9

  • Missouri (Kansas City) FAQ repeats the same statement: recurring plans require a one-year agreement; one-time treatments require no agreement.10
