I had mentioned to Darla to skip service because of this, and will resume when ready. But just noticed that I have been continued to be auto charged ($87 each time) good thing I looked as I was getting ripped off. Very surprised of this as I'd mentioned this for multiple months to get ahead of this situation and give HomeShield as much communication as possible. It is crappy feeling to have my money taken like that I called in and spoke with Luca and he was helpful in telling me that I'll get credited back for 2 months, and will have CC on hold so not charged. That made me feel good. He said I'd get confirmation email in a few minutes but it's been nearly 2 hours and no email and my CC still showing no credit/refund. They are happy to auto charge me, but cannot accommodate their current customers with the ability to pause service, causing additional headache for me I'll see if there is anything worth updating if/when it happens. otherwise will go straight to credit card company and dispute charges...I don't have time to keep going back to HomeShield to check if they did their work right Still considering if I will continue with HomeShield once I need service again; but I figure I'll have better choice when that time comes UPDATE: after reading other review of not being able to cancel service, I called right back and spoke with Patricia. I asked to cancel service, but she could not do so and had to transfer me to other department and ask me to hold for "2 minutes". After 2 minutes, she came back on saying no one could talk to me to cancel. Seriously?? I asked if I can get her my verbal authorization to relay my cancel message to someone. No can do, so I have to wait for someone to call me back so I can say "CANCEL" really frustrated now...

Recently, I had them come out because I suspected termites in one of our rafter tails. To their credit, they correctly identified that specific spot as just fungus and didn't try to oversell me on treatments I didn't need. However, their inspection was incredibly brief. They spent only a few minutes scanning the house, didn't check the attic at all, and gave us the all-clear. A couple of days later, I had a second company come out for another look. They spent almost an hour doing a thorough inspection and found a severe termite infestation in a different rafter tail that was almost entirely hollowed out. They spotted the signs right through the paint. Green Flash completely missed this. On top of the missed inspection, the wood rot repairs Green Flash did for us 5 years ago (costing about $1,200) have both failed and need to be redone. They spliced a rafter tail that is now loose, and it turns out they miscut a replacement barge board on the back of the house. To cover up the bad cut, they glued a scrap piece of wood over it, which has since detached and is currently hanging off the board. Bottom line: They failed to do a thorough termite inspection, and their carpentry work doesn't hold up. I highly recommend getting a second opinion on their inspections and hiring a dedicated specialist for any actual wood repairs.

We need to protect bees and do live removals as much as possible. A large portion of our food supply and parts of the wild environment are dependent on bees as the main pollinators. I have moved hives before and it takes time and effort to do it,, it is real work. Live Bee removal is an art and so very important especially as we lose wild lands for bees and other pollinators to live naturally. If you want professional and friendly service Jesse is the Man!

One thing I truly appreciate is their honesty and professionalism. Karen has helped me several times over the years and has always been upfront about what services were actually necessary -- and what wasn't. It's refreshing to work with a company that doesn't try to upsell or waste your money on treatments you don't need. Their services are affordable, reliable, and effective. During the construction phase of our ADU, we experienced a major increase in rodent activity due to debris and materials sitting around for months. Unfortunately, it turned into a full infestation. American Pest Control Services stepped in and completely handled the problem. They truly kicked it in the butt -- and we've had no rodent issues since. Another huge plus for us is that the rodent control methods and products they used were pet-friendly and environmentally conscious. As a pet owner, that was extremely important to me. I appreciate that they took the time to use solutions that helped protect our pets while still effectively solving the issue. Now that construction is finally finished, we no longer need rodent services, but we continue to use them for our quarterly maintenance and annual flea spray treatments because of the great experience we've had with them. Highly recommend them if you're looking for an honest, dependable, affordable, and pet-conscious pest control company.
