Profile scopeBBB of Minnesota and North Dakota file “Rove Pest Control” (file 0704-96081971, Woodbury Minnesota PO Box; file opened 7/1/2007; alternate name Rove Pest Control of Minnesota Inc). Boilerplate says the profile covers the headquarters and corporate-owned locations, but the file’s Information and Alerts page lists a service area of 57 Twin Cities zip codes, all Minnesota, and BBB’s search page shows only Minnesota addresses on this file (the Woodbury PO box and 1043 Grand Ave #344, Saint Paul). Rove’s other markets have their own BBB files: Novi, Michigan (0372-90031440, BBB Eastern Michigan) and Edmond, Oklahoma (0995-90027292, Better Business Bureau Oklahoma; its Visit Website link points to rovepestcontrol.com).

Contract terms

Terms as recorded from the linked sources.

Rove Pest Control 4 terms

  • Company guarantee: if a customer is dissatisfied between regularly scheduled treatments, Rove returns at no charge.13

  • Company BBB reply refers to a “service agreement” (a separate agreement not published on the website) that provides additional service at no extra charge between regularly scheduled services. No minimum term, renewal, cancellation or arbitration term is stated.14

  • No contract term, cancellation fee, auto-renewal or arbitration language is published on rovepestcontrol.com (residential, commercial, FAQ and careers pages read). Customers describe quarterly visits billed monthly on auto pay (customer reports, BBB).10

  • A BBB reviewer on the Minnesota file (John C, 12/30/2024) says Rove charged a $200 fee when they canceled, which they attribute to a discount offered at signup and say was not explained when they signed up. No company reply is shown to this review.10

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

  • October 29, 2026 · Complaint summaryUsed in complaint record

    BBB (Minnesota headquarters file, service area: Greater Twin Cities Metro Area, 57 Minnesota zip codes)

    BBB of Minnesota and North Dakota file for Rove Pest Control (opened 7/1/2007; not accredited; rating A+): 1 complaint in the last 3 years, 0 in the last 12 months. The one complaint (04/17/2024, Service or Repair Issues, Answered) alleges a long-time customer was charged for quarterly services where the technician did not treat or fill bait stations; the company replied twice that the account carried a standing note not to fill bait stations (a pet-safety request from December 2017) and offered a free follow-up. The complainant rejected the response. No pattern-of-complaints alert on the Information and Alerts page.14, 23

    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

    Local news, South Bend, Indiana (outside the West)

    WNDU reports residents saying Greenix door-to-door salespeople ignored “no soliciting” signs and would not leave; Greenix did not return calls. Context for the sales model only; not West-tied.5
