I started receiving service from pest control company, after answering questions about specific pests I was encountering (including ants). After a few treatments, I had not seen results. Additionally, I specifically mentioned the ants and their location on two separate visits (one of which was to come specifically for the ants). At no time while I received service from the company were the pests "controlled" (or even intimidated, as far as I could tell... ha!).
I canceled my next appointment, only to be told that I would owe a cancellation fee to stop the contract. Considering I hadn't had results for the treatments I'd *already* paid for, this seems strange to me.
I realize nobody knows the exact terms of my contract, but *typically,* would the simple application of some supposed pest-controlling substance be considered fulfilling their end of the contract? Or do I have a reasonable expectation of pest control when involved in such a contract?
If the service works, then fine, I don't have a problem paying it. But it bothers me that they could actually be applying ANYthing, even water, if they are not required to have reasonable results.
Must a measure of "pest control" be specifically detailed in the contract for me to have an out?
I appreciate any input on this.
