DO NOT USE HAWX PEST CONTROL
I made the mistake of contacting Hawx Pest Control for a new rodent problem, and my experience was extremely disappointing from start to finish.
When I called, the representative described a service that sounded comprehensive. I was told the initial visit would include a full home inspection, bait boxes for the rodent issue, and treatment for crickets and other common household pests. I was also specifically told that if I decided not to continue with the recurring service after the technician's visit, I would have a cancellation window and could opt out without issue.
My appointment was scheduled for between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. The technicians didn't arrive until approximately 2:30 p.m., and no one called or provided any updates about the delay.
When they finally arrived, they appeared to have no knowledge that I had called about a rodent problem. They seemed prepared only to perform an exterior pest treatment. I had to explain that the entire reason I contacted Hawx was because I had mice. The technician then came inside and placed a few inexpensive sticky traps—without any bait—in random areas of my home. These were the same type of traps I could have purchased myself for about a dollar at a discount store. There was no inspection, no bait boxes, and no meaningful effort to address the issue I had called about.
After this poor experience, I contacted Hawx's corporate office and spoke with Kaylan. She was initially very understanding and confirmed that I was still within the cancellation window. She encouraged me to give the company an opportunity to make things right by issuing credits and arranging for technicians to return and provide the services I had originally been promised. When she was unable to get in touch with the local office, she assured me that everything had been canceled and a refund would be received in 7-10 business days.
Then, on July 14 at approximately 5:15 p.m., Kaylan called me back and said she had spoken with her supervisor, who informed her that she could not honor what she had previously promised. Instead, I was told I would have to pay a $199 cancellation fee. I was charged $199 without being able to speak with anyone further and original services were still not rendered.
I have no problem with a company enforcing its contract when it actually delivers the services it promised. However, I did not receive the service I purchased. I contacted Hawx because I genuinely needed help with a rodent problem, and the technicians failed to provide the inspection and treatment I was promised. I spent hours waiting for a late appointment, received inadequate service, and then was charged a cancellation fee after being told my cancellation had already been processed.
When I asked to speak with a manager because I was receiving different answers every time I called, I was told I could not be transferred to anyone else. I was informed there was nothing further they could do, the call was ended abruptly, and I was ultimately charged despite never receiving the proper service.
My experience with Hawx Pest Control was frustrating, misleading, and a complete waste of my time and money.
My advice: Do not use Hawx Pest Control. The services they promise over the phone were not the services I received, and my experience with both customer service and the cancellation process was unacceptable. If I could give the company zero stars I would! I have never received service this poor!!!!
