Not sure why Yelp review are low - my story I was mowing my lawn had 2 garden snakes in the lawn. Freaked my wife out. Ironically, Moxie sales rep knocked on my door that same day - timing is everything in sales. Moxie came next day did as advertised. Hopefully they got rid of the food source. The sales rep was a nice kid, I had a need , he had a product - it worked out. read more

Most disorganized business ever. They miss the visits included in your package all the time, yet call you non stop with upselling the devices not included. So basically one day you'll receive a text saying the scheduled service (insects, mice prevention) will need a reschedule but next day call you and say a guy is in the neighborhood to perform an upsell service. Their techs spend less than 10 mins on your property but bill you $220 for the quarterly service. read more

Some kid showed up on my porch in Waltham yesterday I was in the middle of something and didn't have time to talk... instead of ignoring him I answered nicely and let him know I wasn't interested and didn't have time. The entire time he leaned against my railing and never stood up straight to speak to me professionally. He wasn't happy that I didn't have time for him and wasn't interested in what he was selling. We have a no solicitation sign I pointed out as well. Upon his departure he told me "Oh you're one of those." Yikes. Glad I wasn't buying what he was selling with that nasty attitude. He said he wasn't selling "nothin" he was helping neighbors. Train your kids better. Come on. Apparently Waltham was hit hard yesterday I wasn't the only one affected. He's lucky I didn't send my husband out to ask him to repeat what he said to me. Watch who you're talking to Moxie Kid. read more

Moxie Pest Control - Boston - Rude kid - Pest Control Near Me - Canton, Massachusetts

Last year we had a wasp problem with wasps entering bedrooms-30 wasps one day in my bedroom. They couldn't come out for days. Many of the technicians could not get into my backyard due to a locked gate and they lied and said they completed the service. When I finally called to report and cancel, I still had to pay for the 1/2 service they did out front The last time! We still had terrible mosquitoes. Our bait stations were cracked and never replaced. Not all checked regularly. awful service not worth the $140/month. read more

I had a cold call knock on my door after 8:00 pm from this company. This is very poor business practice. The last thing I want is to be bothered at my home when I'm down for the evening. I basically shut the door in his face,and sent him away. I may have been more accommodating during the day at a reasonable hour. I don't need pest control, and I'll tell you for sure that if I do I won't be calling Moxie. Your not even in my area! I would call a local business before I'd call someone that is 45 minutes away from me. read more

Hired Moxie pest control to treat for ants and other bugs. The first treatment was less than 5 minutes of treatment in a pouring rain. The second treatment was the same amount of time without the rain. I never had a problem with bug infestations but wanted to be proactive. After paying over 300 dollars for two treatments that I feel were not through I called to cancel the plan. The cost to get out of the contract was an additional 300 dollars. Not a great experience read more

just came to our door in waltham, not registered with the Waltham Police for soliciting. No picture ID and no name given, just said I am from Moxie. Not the way to do get business read more

Sales tactics. The sales guy was a push, quick talking salesman. And, he was caught lying and didn't seem to care.

My doorbell rang today, and it was a young man claiming to be from Moxy, attempting to sell pest control services. I informed him that our community has a strict no-soliciting policy, but he showed no concern. When I asked if he had registered with the Town or Police to obtain a permit, he claimed he had--but when I requested to see it, he refused. His dismissive and confrontational attitude made me feel unsafe. Unfortunately, I later learned that several of my neighbors had similarly negative encounters with this individual, describing him as rude and belligerent. He had no identification, no name tag, and nothing to clearly indicate who he was or which company he represented. I reported the incident to the police for everyone's safety. Later, I spoke with a customer service representative from Moxy. While they listened to my concerns, they laughed and giggled throughout the conversation, which felt extremely unprofessional and dismissive. I strongly recommend the company train its employees--both salespeople and support staff--on how to engage respectfully with potential customers. Door-to-door solicitation is already intrusive, and behavior like this only further alienates people. We deserve to feel safe in our homes and to know exactly who is approaching our doors and why. read more

Received an email at 9:55 with a Tracking link of the guy who was going to come do my Pest Control. He was due to arrive in 10 minutes. I heard some talking outside and noticed that the same Pest Control company was doing my next-door neighbor's house. Of course I was not immediately after them as I had a different representative. Every 10 minutes the arrival time was updated for a later time. I tried to call the phone number associated with the email and it was an invalid number. I finally called Customer Service and it took them about half an hour to track the person down to say he'd be another 40 minutes very frustrating as I'd like to be here when they're doing the service but hate wasting my entire day. I'm waiting for the supervisor to call me back read more

I had a very disappointing experience with Moxie Pest Control in Boston. The inspection I received contained inaccurate information that appeared framed in a way to create unnecessary urgency. I was told I needed services costing over $2,000, but after conducting my own research, I found those claims to be exaggerated and not supported by facts. When I decided to cancel, I was told it would cost me $400 just to prevent them from coming back into my home. That is unacceptable and feels like a predatory business practice. Do not use these people. Go with a trusted local company instead. read more

All they do is spray for 5 minutes, and charge $179!!!!!! It's a total SCAM when they make you sign a CONTRACT!!!!!

RUN when you hear Moxie Pest Control...to make a long story short they take advantage of the elderly, like myself. They some how got ahold of my credit card and charged $299.00 which was never authorized by myself or my Husband. They are unprofessional and pressured me into signing a contract that came with a cancellation fee that was never explained to me upon signing. I called and tried to cancel the next day, they put me on hold and hung up on me. That's where the $299.00 unauthorized charge came from. I will be contacting the BBB.. Their work is incompetent and ineffective. read more

TLDR: Unprofessional, unresponsive, 80% contract cancellation fee, snake oil door-to-door sales tactics. This is a large corporate business with branch locations across the country with questionable quality. Door to door salesman came thru our neighborhood. Their sales tactics were terrible, providing only 3 powerpoint slides of information (price package and pics of various pests). They did not have a business card nor any easy way to research their company, reviews or practice. Their sales tactics relies on signing people during the sales pitch before you can make an informed decision. Was not adequately informed on kids/pets/environmentally safe practices, only reciting from a script that its "safe". For example, they did not inform us how long we needed to stay off the lawn after treatment, and with 2 kids who love playing outdoors, I could not confidently let them play for weeks on my own yard. General service only included applying lawn pellets, liquid barrier around perimeter, and cleaning 2 cobwebs. No knowledge of what the pesticide which makes it difficult to know its effects on the local waterways. When I discovered a wasps nest near my entryway, the person receiving my call promised to call back and schedule a tech but I did not hear back from them after a week. I had to take care of it myself when the kids weren't home. Contacting a salesperson for information and to cancel the service lead us to learning about a 80% contract cancellation fee ripped from Adobe's TOS. (US government is currently suing adobe for predatory practices including ridiculous cancellation fees). This was never clear during the sales pitch nor while signing the contract! I paid hundreds for nothing when I could have gone to a reputable local business. read more

See all

Very poor customer service after you sign up. They are sneaky door-to-door salesmen, who will pressure you into a contract. They will not tell you your cancellation rights. They also overpromise saying that if their treatment doesn't work they will come back out and do a no-cost follow-up treatment. They have yet to do that for me even though I've asked. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, but they have not been able to redeem themselves. I tried to call them to schedule follow-up visits because their pest treatment isn't working and they don't respond. I have tried to cancel the termite treatment, and they won't respond. Hire someone local who knows your area, will respond and is invested in a relationship. read more

terrible customer service and predatory contract cancellation clause. beware!!!! one star - do not recommend. overly aggressive sales and scheduling teams. read more

This is a TERRIBLE company!! Horrible customer service. The serviced did NOTHING! I tried to cancel the service for months and was told I would have an early cancelation fee. I finally cancelled after my "final service" and was still charged a cancelation fee. I called several times trying to fix this issue and kept being told it was all set only to receive another notice about the fee I owe. This company is a complete SCAM!! Do not waste your time and energy or money dealing with them. I wish I didn't! read more

Scam company! Stay away. -Incredibly aggressive door to door sale tactics...the guy refused to leave our property! -No identifying information other than the name of the company on his shirt. No vehicle, walking door to door on our country road. - Most applications for ant control were completed in less than 10 minutes! -Outside bait box/trap for rodents never checked during subsequent visits. -Informed 2 days before an application they were coming out to perform their next outside ant application...have tried numerous times over the past 2 days to respond to their texts to cancel the appointment but only get a response "Sorry, something is wrong on our end, please try back later"...! -WE HAVE 5 INCHES OC SNOW ON THE GROUND AND THE TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN BELOW ZERO...AND THEY HAVE SCHEDULED US FOR AN OUTSIDE ANT APPLICATION COSTING US $139.00!!! -The signed contract clearly states there are no refunds if cancelled so we will have them finish the 3 remaining applications hopefully at an appropriate time! -Just called the company and was on hold for 10 minutes, transferred but no one answered, finally someone comes on and says that department is pretty backed up with calls so I'll have someone call you back...after explaining the issue of snow and below zero temperatures she finally agreed to postpone the next application! Ridiculous! Their local office is listed as being in the next town over, Canton, Massachusetts so how could they not know an ant application next week would make any sense??? -Scam, fraud company! Don't waste your time and money! read more

Worst pest control company ever. I can't even cancel with them right now I called them up I canceled an appointment and told him I completed the terms of my contract and wanted to cancel. They told me they couldn't do it then because there was no supervisor available. And now I have account people from their hounding me over this thing they need to resolve this. All I want is to cancel the damn contract. Whatever you do don't sign up with them. read more

My door knock from a canvassing Moxie sales rep at 8:54pm tonight was not remotely appreciated. While a perfunctory "oh are you going to bed now?" comment happened, the guy was not making any move towards leaving. I had to shut and lock the door in his face to get him to leave. Not cool Moxie, and you won't get new customers like that! read more

reading all the negative reviews and I have had no issues other than the sneaky mice but I rent an old old house so that probably is the problem, I will say there are fewer furry things and no spiders YES. The reps that come out each time I go out and greet them and tell them and I have had not one unpleasant conversation with each rep. I wasn't bullied into the service. I signed up for the year and I wish that you could cancel without any extra fees. For when you need to move or something. Any how just wanted to say that this company servicing my area has been nothing but pleasant to work with. read more

Knocking peoples doors to score a sale is pretty ineffective but when your "sales reps" are rude, arrogant and won't listen to customers just shows the lack of quality of a company. Would not recommend this company under any circumstances. read more

Thanks Bibi appreciate the visit! Came right on time and did a good job thank you Brushed all the windows and offered more help read more

Services were good, I was going to have my last appointment of the contract after that I was going to cancel/ not renew my contract. Received a text saying that their technician wasn't able to make it and they were going to reschedule. They never rescheduled and hit me with a cancelation fee instead. read more

Worst company ever, good luck getting out of contract, have to call right at the time of your contract coming up. Awful...

A guy comes to my house to offer pest control services. We explain that we just need to get rid of a hornet's nest. We make sure he understands that we don't wNt any poison in our garden as we have many pointers, birds and butterflies we encourage. A couple of days later we have a "Lawn chemicals applied" sign up front. A report they sent showed that they used every known poison in cack and front. I call to cancel, have a long discussion with some person who insist that she is 'listening to me' but has no thing to say other than 'you still have to pay the contract. I hang up not committing either way. A few hours later they have charged the rest of the amount to my card. Needless to say I'll be disputing that. They have no business handling poison, nor customers. Horrible people. AVOID. read more

SCAM SCAM SCAM! The door-to-door salesman said I could cancel at anytime, but then Moxy wanted to charge me for canceling. stay away from this business!! read more

Awful company. They charge you monthly and text you that service was completed when you were not home. Yet when i just called customer service they said no one has been to my property since october. Also to call for the "termite inpection" they tell you ok we will let you know when someone is in that area im sorry my work schedule does not work around when you will be in the area and good company would be working around the customers schedule not the other way around. Also impossible to cancel because they charge an out rageous cancellation fee. Worst decision i ever made. I still hve the same pests in my yard that they were supposedly treating. read more

I was told these pest treatments would not affect the bees in my garden: they all died. I had specifically asked about the effect on bees!! Moxie is DECEPTIVE in their sales info and have a predatory clause in their contract. I cancelled the contract and had to pay for the remaining treatments I did not want. BUYER BEWARE! read more

Had a door to door salesman come out in the spring and thought it was a good deal. Had the spring and several summer services completed and the final fall services completed. Then sold our home. Called to cancel the service as I no longer needed it. Again, completed all service for the year, when I called to cancel, the rep advised that I would be contacted by a management team member. Waited 4 days and finally received a call. Was told that there would be a cancellation fee of $130 because I did not wait until the next service in the spring was done. I explained that I sold the property and the rude "manager " I was speaking with asked if I wanted to transfer the service to our new address. I explained we were in an apartment complex until our new home was going to be ready and that it was not going to be ready until 2026 but if they wanted to hold it over until then, that would be fine with me. She simply said the service was canceled and that they would immediately proceed to charge me the cancellation fee. As far as actual service, they were okay. Twice I had to have them come back, out of the 4 total visits, because they missed spots, and they came right out but I still had to call to have service redone 1/2 the time. If you have someone knocking on your door in the spring, I would recommend that you issue a hard pass on Moxie Pest. read more

Awful company. They use high pressure sales tactics door to door. They literally provide no recognizable benefit for your home. When you cancel they charge you an 80% of the entire contract balance. read more

The worst experience ever. I felt pressured to use them when someone showed up at my door unsolicited offering preventive services. Had an initial service and mailed a check. It was returned to me as undeliverable. I called to find out why and was told to send the second check to a different address which I did. Two months have gone by. The second check was not returned but also not cashed. I keep calling and no one helps at all. They always say they will call back and don't. I have no idea what their billing process is and they keep sending me text messages to pay my bill which EVERY time I call them back and tell them the whole story (yes each time) and every time nothing is resolved. I wouldn't use them!!! read more

So, at first I was not sure about Moxie as I the reviews on yelp and IG and most weren't positive. I decided to give it a chance anyways and judge for myself plus the sales guy reeled me in lol I originally got the quarterly package which you have no choice but to sign up for a year and then if you want to cancel you do pay a crap load to get out of the contract. I got the mosquito package as well which is a monthly service and cancel at anytime. Anyway, the first time they came out, my fiancé was home but was in a meeting and couldn't get out there to see if they were really doing what they should be doing. They told me to wait at least two weeks to see a difference and I did notice a slight change as in less bugs but the mosquitos still were around l. I was planning on not doing the mosquito package the next month but before I could tell them no, they were due to come out as it's on an auto service unless you call. Now, they came out to do the quarterly service plus mosquito and I had the pleasure of getting Charlie and Amir. They were able to talk to Ned walk through what they were going to do and what to look out etc. I was highly pleased and grateful they were willing to answer my questions (and I had many lol). They were so nice and helpful and put me at ease with my initial "this is a scam" and I'm going to lose money. I am very pleased with the service I had today from Moxie and looking forward to working with Amir and Charlie again. If you want great service, ask for them and they will make sure you are getting what you paid for. I'm hopeful for a bug free summer or as much as I can. read more

Moxie Pest Control Boston is NOT worth the money. high service fee and poor pest control!

Staff misrepresented what they can treat. Told me they can kill underground wasps. Then come out and say "not those types" I tried to cancel. They told me I owed for treatments that were never done. Acknowledge that they understand but still wouldn't let me cancel and told me I'd be taken to collections for lack of payments. Horrible customer service. Stay away. read more

please do not trust this company, they charge you for services that you don't need. and they lie to make you buy their products please, please don't let them come to your home. read more

Stay away Moxie is bad news. They are very aggressive when selling but they have no problem omitting information about cancelation fees. They charge you no matter what, for me, that was $405. Unbelievable! read more

I recently hired Moxie Pest Control to treat a rodent infestation in my home. The technician arrived on time and was polite, but the results were disappointing. After the treatment, I still saw signs of rodent activity. I called the company back, and they sent out another technician who did another treatment. However, I still had the same problem. The "Account Care" professionals are unhelpful, they do not allow you to speak to the same person twice so you have to retell the issue multiple times. This company is a door to snake oil salesman scam looking to lock customers into a contract. I was very dissatisfied with the effectiveness of their treatments. I was told today by Latoria (an account care supervisor), "we are not here to eliminate (the rodent problem" just help you manage it. That is the most insane statement I've ever heard. She said that to me right before she hung up on me. I've had these people come to my house 4 times and every time they promise they will take care of my mouse issue. NEVER give this company your credit card number and definitely NEVER sign a contract with them, complete garbage. I would not recommend Moxie Pest Control to anyone who is looking for a reliable and effective pest control service." read more
