What Homeowners Should Know
About Door-to-Door Pest Control Sales

As summer heats up, so do the door-knocks from pest control salespeople offering "limited-time deals" and on-the-spot inspections. While some door-to-door (D2D) reps may be legitimate, many are using aggressive and misleading tactics right here in East Texas.

At APS Pest & Termite Extermination, we believe in honest service, licensed technicians, and full transparency. Here are red flags every homeowner should watch for:

🚨 Red Flags to Watch Out For:

• 🖐 Pressure Tactics: Push for immediate signatures with no time to think.
• ⚠️ Exaggerated Infestations: Claiming you have a crisis when you don’t.
• 💵 Misleading or Unclear Pricing: Hidden fees, vague contracts, or sudden add-ons.
• 🪪 Unlicensed Personnel: Reps without proper certification or ID.
• 🙈 Lack of Transparency: No online reviews or traceable reputation.
• 🚪 Unsolicited Visits: Showing up uninvited — beware of scams.
• 🎭 Fake Affiliations: Pretending to be part of your current service provider.
