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

Valor Pest Solutions 4 terms

  • Company site advertises “quarterly protection, without long-term contracts” (a marketing claim; no contract terms are published).7

  • Company site homepage plan cards list prices from $69/mo (General, Rodent) up to $99/mo (Mosquito/Vector+); no term, renewal, cancellation or arbitration text is published on the site, FAQ or privacy page (the /terms-of-service and /terms-and-conditions URLs return the homepage).7

  • In its reply to a BBB complaint (05/15/2025) the company says the customer’s wife “chose to proceed with our annual service plan” and that it holds a signed agreement and recorded calls in which the terms, “including our cancellation policy”, were explained. The company describes the plan it sold as annual; the agreement itself is not published, so its renewal, cancellation-channel, fee and dispute terms are unknown.5

  • A BBB reviewer (1 star, 04/19/2024) says the signed agreement carried a $200 cancellation fee and an unmentioned $100 processing fee. One customer report; not a company statement.8
