Update: Mark called ahead, let me know the plan on arrival, and competently sprayed inside and out--friendly and professional as always! Update: Brandon was friendly, professional, attentive to detail, and effective.  Some of the hornet/wasp nests he found I would have never located. Brandon exemplifies why I switched to Moxie for pest control. William was on-time, friendly, and thorough...highly recommend! read more

It's obvious that despite numerous complaints about their aggressive and intrusive door to door sales tactics, Moxie has not changed their approach. One guy has been creeping around our neighborhood off and on and absolutely ignores no soliciting signs, laughed at those pointing out his behavior and outright lied to me about my neighbor signing up with Moxie. He had apparently ignored my neighbors "don't ring the bell" sign and they have a baby! He came to my house twice and kept ringing the bell while I was in a meeting. I finally opened the door and said please stop I'm in a meeting and instead of apologizing and leaving he said "Justin said you'd want to talk to me" and "I'll just take a minute". No. Go away. I would never do business with Moxie based on this behavior alone. Get a grip guys, this behavior pisses people off, it doesn't induce them to use your services. read more

If you are being harassed by these punks, print out a copy of this: https://www.law.cornell.edu/regulations/texas/4-Tex-Admin-Code-SS-7-141 to hand them, then ask them to see their licensing and a gov ID, like a driver's license. They must give this to you under current TX law. Take a picture and report them to the cops, the TX AG, and the TX Dept of Agriculture please. Thanks. This company has aggressive door to door knockers that don't know how to read!? They have solicited at our residence multiple times regardless of our no soliciting sign and regardless of the fact that we have told them we are not interested and to leave and not return. They seem very shady IMHO. Oh, and they have also bothered senior citizens that I know.... So that's not great. Terrible company. read more

Drink On The Job. We found a 1 quart beer bottle in a paper bag in our attic after they replaced our insulation due to rodent damage. How do we know? Because they were dumb enough (and drunk enough, I guess) to leave their trash. It was right next to the attic entrance, so we would have noticed it before, and they're the only ones that have been in our attic in the past few years. And there were 2 technicians, which means they either have 2 employees that day-drink at work, or one and another that doesn't care. Shameful and irresponsible-- you can find another service. read more

Yet another Austin business sending illiterate door knockers out into the neighborhood to disturb the peace. "Brad" admitted he saw the "No Soliciting" sign on our door, but decided it didn't apply to Moxie Pest Control, and rang the bell anyway. "Brad" wore no identifying clothes or name tags. I asked his name and his company name so I could make this post. read more

I'm sharing my experience so others can make an informed decision. Moxie Pest Control performed a free attic inspection at my home on 12/9/25 and immediately told me I had a severe mouse infestation. I was told the only option was a $12,000 attic insulation removal and replacement. No traps were placed, no testing was done, and no attempt was made to confirm the severity of the issue before presenting this recommendation. Concerned, I scheduled three additional inspections the following day. All confirmed there was no infestation, no urine, no odor, and no major damage, just minimal evidence that required basic trapping. The experience caused significant emotional distress and resulted in two lost workdays while I tried to sort out what I believed was an urgent and costly situation. I was also alarmed to learn that a loan application had been started without my authorization. I found the approach high-pressure and misleading, and I regret trusting the initial assessment without getting another opinion first. 12/18/25 Update: Hi Priscilla- I appreciate you reaching out, however, I emailed twice and called and left a message and nobody ever returned my email or phone call. read more

I hired these folks to treat my home for bugs and from day one all they did was hound me to do all kinds of inspections to get more money. I got tired of all the FREE inspection solitations and went to cancel and they hit me with a hugh cancellation fee and without my authorization charged my credit card. I would not recommend these folks to anyone. read more

Chris A. came out and performed the quarterly service. Everything is good here. Thanks for the prompt service and the communication when the stormy weather made rescheduling necessary. read more

Jorge was punctual and very thorough when providing us with the termite inspection process. He informed us of the activity of each bait station and informed us of which one had the most activity. He was very polite and knowledgeable and provided excellent service. Overall it was a great experience. read more

would give ZERO stars if I could. We used them for a month. And canceled. During that month they: -were late for 2 appointments -tried showing up at 9:30PM -could never give me a time when they'd be there. Pretty much "whenever they showed up" - When the first spray didn't help they could only come out again in 2 weeks (when they wanted to come at 9:30pm) -and they were late another time when I told them they could come for a termite inspection. After all this I canceled, but they still won't give me back my initiation fee. Go to ANYONE else. read more

Very scammy. Dont ever do the termite base stations. the salesmen aren't honest about how it works. You will pay 2000$ for an installation fee and will automatically be set up on a refill schedule which they also don't tell you about. The refills cost me $540. yearly. Oh and if you cancel it after a surprise charge they will come to your house to rip out the base stations. That huge amount is for an install fee only. you own nothing. They only refilled two stations. The monthly pest protection is very poor. never got rid of the American cockroaches. I constantly see all kinds of bugs still. Theyll also reschedule your requested maintenance time without any communication and add you in on a day you're unavailable and you end up having to wait weeks to be seen again. The crew themselves are kind men. Cant fault them for their company. read more

I reported this business to the BBB and this is what was said and my response to this business is below: Moxie Pest Control, LP Response 05/27/2021 The purpose of this letter is to address the recent complaint we received from Mrs. ******** ******* We are sorry for the experience Mr. **** has had with the service. As a company, we strive to provide the best experience possible. We apologize for disturbing you and appreciate you alerting us to this. All of our door-to-door experts are licensed and permitted to sell in each city we enter. These permits allow us to sell in all neighborhoods in the city regardless of the solicitation rules a specific neighborhood might have unless of course, the streets are not publicly maintained. That being said, we take complaints like this seriously and will be doing further training with all of our representatives to ensure all laws and guidelines are being followed. Customer Response (my response) 05/27/2021 Perhaps you are missing my point here. When I have a no solicitation sign on my door, regardless of your permit, this sign means do not solicit on my property. Furthermore, when I advised your reps to leave my property after they knocked and banged on my door repeatedly, they still tried to pitch me. I know they read the no solicitation sign on my door because I have them on camera doing so. What these reps did was illegal and irresponsible. read more

Moxie Pest Control - Austin - Heres the sales guy (there were 2 of them). See the round circle on door by the peephole, that's the no solicitation sign. - Pest Control Near Me - Austin, Texas

And again, dissatisfied with my services. I will be discontinuing my services today. I DO NOT recommend using this company. None of the mangers returned my calls. Overall not a great experience. read more

Buyer beware. Moxie overcharges deeply for their service. I paid an absurd amount for reinsulation. I have a tiny attic, they charged me $1,000 per square foot all told. During installation, the installers broke my a light fixture. Stuff happens, I'm not mad at installers. But Moxie has taken three months to fix it. I'm still waiting. Do not use this service. Especially their door to door sales people. Strongly recommend finding someone else. Be smarter than my dumb@ss. What a waste of money. read more

This company is quick to come and do the job they guaranteed there work then when there was an issue you can't even get ahold of anyone. They charged us 12,000.00 and won't even speak with us read more

Moxie came into my 80 year old mothers house and told her the attic was "infested" with rats and would cost $15,000 to treat!!!!!!! She has lung cancer and they told her the rat feces she was breathing in through the vents was terrible for her situation. I immediately called 2 other companies to come look and both said there were no rats...none. These moxie scammers even showed my mother pictures on the iPad of rats and feces and burrow holes. The pics were NOT from my mothers attic!!!! They basically showed her fake pics and told her it was her attic! Shameful company scamming people left and right including elderly vulnerable, sick 80 year old woman! read more

Absolutely Crooked Company Came door-to-door and showed me there was a rat infestation in my attic, which I was happy for, but then several lies about the service: (1) Told me could do a tax writeoff for 30% of the cost, but didn't cap the cost at what the government actually allows, up to 1200 per year, so I thought the cost would be cheaper than it was. (2) When I complained about this first problem, got the runaround for weeks until I got busy enough that I didn't have time for it any more. (3) Told me warranty would be good for 100 years, but then when I call later in the year to get a reinspection, they said I had to charge them again. Avoid this company like the plague. read more

I appreciate the automation of scheduling and the matching follow up of service. They work with me on what days I prefer to have service because we have many pets on the property. read more

As always, the service workers were EXCELLENT! They were transparent about all services that would be performed and Brady was simply amazing! read more

UPDATE: Their sales rep straight up lied about having a city permit to go door to door. The police have been notified by a neighbor. When the neighbor called to report it they were very evasive and would not let anyone speak to a manager. This is definitely some sort of sham operation. Their good reviews are all fake!!! Look at Google for the fake 5 star one-word reviews... They ignore NO SOLICITING signs on the door to push their services. Literally just saw a post from our neighbors stating they're going door to door AT 9PM tonight. Would never use this company. read more

Very dissatisfied with the services given by moxie pest control. I currently have an account with moxie. They performed services about 2 weeks ago to remove wasps nest located on my back porch. While the wasp nest was removed and the specific area was treated, the wasps built new nests in the same day about a foot away from the previous nest. The next day I called to schedule another appointment. I had to wait another week before they would come treat the new nests. The technician did call, however, I was at a work function. I called him back immediately once I saw his call. He informed me that he only treated the front of the house. He stated the notes that dispatch wrote said nothing about the back of the house. He also mentioned he was too far out to turn back around, so I would have to schedule another appointment. Overall not a great experience. I will be calling them again tomorrow. It is highly likely I will terminate the services. read more

Utter predators. I left a 1 star review about a month ago after the laughably rude and aggressive sales rep from Moxie accosted my wife. The president of the company responded with "thanks for your feedback and helping us to improve." The same overly aggressive Moxie sales rep has come by 2 additional times. I'm filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. read more

Hopefully, no more rodents in my attic. Kyle Crowley helped me understand the science and ways to get rid of these creatures. Thanks Kyle. read more

Really happy with their service. Cameron came by today to do my quarterly service. Had a lot of good information on how to minimize pests. He is very friendly, knowledgeable and efficient.

Moxie Pest Control - Austin - Pest Control Near Me - Austin, Texas

Horrible service in nearly every way besides the chemical that every other company uses to keep bugs away. Which they showed up to our door, doing door to door sales. To start we got their service to keep bugs out. Which was fine. But we have dogs and the person who comes to service will not be able to go in the backyard without the dogs being put away. So we kindly requested Moxie to give notice in advance and it should be standard for a service provider that comes to someone's property give at least 24 hours notice or even a few days notice prior to just showing up. Also the point of us paying "you,"this company is to request you by appointment upon our own convenience. 100% of the time they always would should up without at least 24 hours notice. So the person would come and service only the from yard and put in the report that the service had been complete. It would not be in the slightest. What do we pay the fees for if you're just going to not do your job? What a scam. Then like every other type of service now a days they offer termite deflection. Which they put stakes in the ground around your property. That was a nightmare. They're not professional at all. Moxie uses some unqualified person in their company to come out and drill into the ground. The person that came out didn't even ask or have a ground layout of our property. So when he was drilling he hit our irrigation system pipes causing a high water bill. It then took forever to get them to come fix the mistake! We have a brand new house and they ruined our perfectly brand new pipes. They did a patch job at that. Because it was the cheapest option. Along with as I mentioned they used their own worker to fix the pipe the first guy drilled into (unqualified). We would have wanted the full pipe replaced so that the would be no water leakage or at least have it repaired by a professional plumbing/irrigation company. To this day I don't believe the leak is completely solved. We haven't ran the sprinkler system the same since. Such a shame dealing with Moxie's unprofessional service and people. They're not qualified. Along with terrible service. PLEASE READ THE CONTRACT. MY SPOUSE DID NOT READ THE CONTRACT FULLY and with the TERMITE SERVICE once you pay the $3,000 they will want you to pay $500 every year for them to check on the stakes. The whole time we had the stakes they never came to check on them. We did not want to pay $500 every year after paying $3,000 in just a short 3 months to keep from paying interest on the full amount owed for the initial installation of the termite stakes. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO PAY $5OO every year like a subscription then THEY WILL COME TO YOUR HOUSE AND REMOVE THE TERMITE STAKES THAT YOU PAID $3,000 FOR. PLEASE DO NOT USE MOXIE AS A PEST PROVIDER. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS TERRIBLE AND A NIGHTMARE. We will have to get a professional to come out and fix our pipes if we want the worry free experience that we initially had when we bought the house. Our house at the time was brand new built, no one lived in prior to this horrific experience with our irrigation system. Bad business. I would highly suggest if you have a pest control prevention provider to read everything and make sure you choose a provider that sets appointments up in advance rather than coming out to your property at their most convenient timing. Due to them having multiple locations to service in that area for that day. This was Moxie Pest control out of Austin, TX. read more

Professional and courteous service. Have had multiple quarterly treatments and am realizing results. The techs that have helped us have all been professional and willing to answer any questions that we may have. Would strongly recommend Moxie Pest Control for your residential pest control needs. read more

I give them a 1 because 0 is not an option. They exposed my wife and I to a toxic over application in our home and then did nothing to clean up or remediate it. Complained repeatedly to Austin office and the corporate office in Irving, Texas. Every time I called I was told a manager was not available and I would wait for a return call and never did they ever return my calls. They talk a good game but do not follow through with customer complaints or the promises they make. If a nice young man rings your doorbell in the Summer...run as fast as you can and do not sign up for Moxie services. They endanger people's lives and have no regard for "customer focus." All they are interested in is your money! read more

Moxie you should just stop soliciting door to door. It's clear from other bad reviews that your guys all use the same bs lines which were used on me as well. "I don't know if you know your neighbor "so in so" down the street but we are treating his yard tomorrow because there is a huge carpenter ant problem in your area (along with other xyz problems). If you sign up right now I will give you a huge discount since we will be on your street tomorrow." It went on and on. No business card when asked. It wouldn't have mattered anyway, I don't do business with pushy soliciting companies trying to pull one over on me. Do better people, do better. read more

In complete job! No call back from Moxie. Reviewed all my concerns with the door door sales. So they knew about the problems ahead of time. Hello Carson, hope your day is going well. I got a chance to check today on yesterdays visit.. I wasn't able to yesterday. Lisa was here and talk with the tech , I had an appointment. Just a couple of concerns. Thx. 1. Tech did not address Wasp nests in the eaves on the second level and wood fence area. I know this because they all have activity. And they're not knocked down. 2. I'm not sure what she sprayed in the bricks weep holes, though I was unable to find any residual of any sort. I walked around to see. Not to mention she was in and out of here in less than 30 minutes. I sent this information to Moxie five days ago again no response read more

Moxie did a terrible job insulating my 84yr old mothers attic. They left a terrible mess insulation was coming out of the vents and the air handler closet was full of insulation. They left a big crack in her bedroom celling and shorted out a closet light. We have been trying to get them to resolve this for over 2+ months with no response. I would not recommend Moxie. They have taken advantage of my mother. We have spent hundreds of dollar cleaning up the mess they left behind. read more

Our experience with Moxie was a joke from our first scheduled service when a tech said submitted that our service was completed, but we have video evidence confirming they were never here. Next service , the tech submitted all of the areas that were covered, to include our attic , crawl space , the interior of our home and the back yard. None of which they had access to. With the exception of ONE visit and ONE honest technician, EVERY SINGLE TECH submitted areas that were never treated. Why lie? Since our last service and taking pest control into our own hands, we've had more success treating our home and property with pesticides and insecticides that we've purchased ourselves. Moxie never helped eradicate or even LESSEN the amount bugs, spiders or insects around the home or on the property even with "warranty services" between treatments. For the amount of money that was invested, it is a complete waste. The quality, service and over all integrity of the company is deplorable. Avoid at all costs. read more

The maskless and self-admittedly unvaccinated door-to-door charlatan who came to my house was so pushy that my wife agreed to use his services just to get him off our property. She agreed to use this company just "once" without realizing that we were now locked in a one-year contract. Now, in order to try and get out of that contract, we would have to pay MORE money for services never rendered - and that's if we can ever get anyone on the other end of the phone to talk to us! I'm sure there are companies out there like Mosquito Joe and ABC Pest Control that will be more professional and easy to use. read more

I had a young door to door salesman stop by. He used all the sales tactics that are taught and I was impressed that he was intent on closing the sale. It takes courage and tenacity to push through rejection. The contract was plain and there is a "cancel order" document you can send if you change your mind within a few days. All the information is emailed to you there on the spot. The service man, John, came out the next day on time. I was in updated through the entire process. I was also impressed at the knowledge of this young man and his hard work. Even though he was there to service, he was also very pleasant and easy to talk with. I'm glad they knocked on my door! read more

Extremely pushy door to door salesperson. I let him know I was happy with my current pest control and I wasn't interested. I said "thank you but I'm not interested" three times and finally had to just shut (and lock) the door so I could go back to work. It gave me the ick. read more
