We don’t have Massey for any service. We closed in September of last year so it’s close to the 1 year. I missed the doorbell ring or I’d have been able to speak to him.

Simple answer. Call n ask them instead of asking us to guess

You need to cancel your termite protection 30 days before the year is up. I urge you to do it today. Their service is $250 a year. Rip off.

He is probably there due to the prior owners having a pest control contract. The long pole is used to sweep away cobwebs, wasp nests, etc, There will be a statement on a hang tag on your front door saying what was done.

Do I have to formally cancel before the year is up for termite Protection.

How do they bill me without a credit card if I don't want it?

Just bought new and Builder said termite protection is really not needed

Just to reiterate what others have said, you do not loose any coverage if you switch companies for termites......you do not negate a bond.

I was glad to get rid of Massey....

looks like he’s injecting the ground with termite insect aside

Why not call Massey? Why give people an opportunity to make answers up?

Has anyone suggested calling Massey? :shrug: :icon_wink:

Yes, this is how they check the termite traps. I have had Massey show up at my house by mistake as well as showing up at my daughter's house in error.

Thank You! I was just about to ask if people even read the threads they are posting in, or just send a reply to the first post without even looking at replies.

Yeah, I'm questioning this too. Can the folks that posted to cancel Massey let us know? We did not sign up with Massey and only have the 1 year that was included with our home sale.

I called Massey for quotes on lawn care when we bought. The guy that answered the phone was a total jerk. You'd think he didn't want any business. So I ruled them out. I would not sign up with them for anything. I'm also capable of watching my house for termites. I think a pre-cast concrete home risk is negligible, though I realize there are wood studs and other wood in the construction to be watching.

I have Massey for weed and pest control. They do ring the doorbell. I asked, “Why?” The service person said that they walk along the wall, windows etc. they wanted me to know they are there so I would not be startled by suddenly seeing a person outside my window.
