Bug man

I cancelled my Massey termite contract before my house was one year old. At the one year mark, a technician showed up at the door. I told him that I had cancelled. He said, "Well since I am here how about I just take a look around." Then I got a bill from Massey. They said that I have given verbal approval to extend the contract. It took a three phone calls but I got them to stop billing me.

So, when the termite man shows up, tell him that the contract is cancelled and, no, do not have a look around.

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.

Probably dusting your eves with bug repellent. Maybe had wrong address.

What did Massey say when you called?

Wow.

Maybe the previous owner had a yearly contract and didn't notify Massey to cancel. Or maybe the serviceman went to wrong address. The long pole they use is usually to knock down spider webs, etc under the eaves. Anyway that's my thought.

Good for you. Don't let the termites win!

Most likely at wrong house, some their employees aren't too smart.
