Response from A-1 Inc Exterminators
I wish the member had explained his displeasure with his contact with us so I could address it directly. Given the grades he assigned to our work, we feel it necessary to respond. The member purchased our Termite Inspection Plan Warranty late last year and, as is stated in the offer, the initial inspection must find the structure free of active termites to qualify. Unfortunately, the member's home had two areas of termite activity and an initial treatment was required to move forward. The best analogy I can think of is that it would be like buying collision insurance for your car AFTER you've had an accident that caused damage. Naturally, we cannot do that. In any case, the member was left with a price for treatment and the $73.00 he paid to Angie's List for the warranty would have come off of that price given that the warranty itself is free when a treatment is done. Several attempts were made to reach the member by phone to discuss his options regarding the pricing, payment options, etc. with no response. As is always the case, the member can request a full refund of the $73.00 from Angie's List and choose another company for treatment as he wishes. Again, we are not sure why he is dissatisfied 6 months later but we have heard nothing from him and are unsure what more we could have done to ensure his complete satisfaction.
