Our Fox representative, Mike, consistently goes above and beyond to make sure our pest control needs are fully taken care of. He is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and thorough, always taking the time to explain the service and ensure my wife and I are comfortable with the work being performed. We’ve been Fox customers for several years, and Mike has been our technician since day one. His attention to detail and commitment to great service are the reason we continue to trust Fox with our home, and we highly recommend that anyone looking for pest control services does the same.

Jeremy Ives does a great job; he now knows what to look for in/around our home. I also like having the same person come back vs. different inspectors at each visit. It's very helpful to have someone who knows the house and yard and what to look for.

Provider response

Hi Amy, <br>Thanks for sharing! Having someone familiar with your home really does make a difference in spotting issues early and keeping everything under control. We’re happy the consistency is helpful for you!<br>Thanks!<br>Cortney G.<br>Customer Relations Team

I have mixed reviews on the limited services our family received. The pricing was reasonable and the first treatment was ok but certainly nothing to brag about. The second treatment I felt was far more thorough and looked forward to the next treatment hoping it was the same individual completing it. This is where my disappointment truly lies. Even though we’re had a one-year contract they never returned to do the final 2 treatments. We verified it wasn’t just a missed email and verified with our neighbors and security footage. However, the bills continued (which I refused to pay until they came out). Even reaching out by phone was unsuccessful which was extremely odd because they had been very communicative prior. We finally just paid out the remainder of our contract to be done with the company. We’ve added on treatments with our lawn maintenance company and because we’ve never had issues with our newer home this works fine for our situation. I wouldn’t say don’t use Fox, but I would be cautious. I know there was more we could have done to ensure we were getting the treatments we agreed upon but ultimately it wasn’t worth the headache to our family considering this was probably not a service we truly needed to begin with.

The technician was very informative. He explained what service he was providing today. He explained he submitted a report ever time he can. I so not remember previously getting a report for any visits

Provider response

Hi Fred-<br>Thanks for your feedback! We’re glad to hear your technician kept you informed and explained the service clearly. You should be receiving a report after each visit, so we’d love to look into why that hasn’t been consistent and make sure you get them going forward. Feel free to give us a call at, (518) 300-4732 so we can help get that fixed!<br>Thanks,<br>Cortney G.<br>Customer Relations Team<br>

My question is was the covered deck and utility shed treated? I see no documentation that this was done. My security camera's did not pick up any activity in these areas.

Provider response

Hi Kilburn-<br>Thanks for bringing this to our attention—we really appreciate you reaching out and sharing your concerns (and the photos as well). We're so sorry your most recent treatments notes did not address the deck and shed. We appreciate you letting us back out to your home for a targeted treatment on 3/31, and we’ll make sure those areas are specifically addressed and clearly documented. We hope this next treatment is up to your expectations. In the meantime, if there’s anything in addition you’d like us to focus on, please don’t hesitate to let us know.<br>Sincerely, <br>Cortney G.<br>Customer Relations Team

Raekwon was thorough and very pleasant, and explained what he was doing and why as he went along; I actually picked up a few insights from him. Also we had to reschedule at the last minute and he bent over backwards to accommodate us at our convenience. I appreciated him very much.

Every service is supposed to have a dewebbing, inspection and treatment. Hard to do all that in 12 minutes. Close the gates you open so the dogs don’t get out! Try removing any the spider webs that your supposed to. Didn’t see any evidence of treatment on the home. As I pulled into the house he sped away like he had done something wrong. Had to put 1 start so it would let me post should be NO Stars. Really thinking about paying the $200 to get out of the contract.

Provider response

Hi Ben-<br>We're really sorry to hear about your experience, it’s clear we fell short of your expectations, and that’s not the level of service we aim to provide. We appreciate you giving us the opportunity to come back out and make things right with a targeted treatment. Your satisfactions is important, and we hope the upcoming visit helps restore your confidence in our service. If there's anything more we can do, please don’t hesitate to let us know.<br>Sincerely,<br>Cortney G<br>Customer Relations Team

Fox Pest Control Albany is a scam. They lure you in with a so-called “discounted” $280 upfront fee if you sign up over the phone, then they will lock you into $59 a month or $180 every 3 months, plus $99/month March–Nov for YARD PEST — almost $1,900 a year. For wildlife, they don’t even handle it — they push you off to A Local JMB Construction & Rodent Control, who charge $75 just for an assessment, All this runs your bills into the thousands, and the guy at JMB Construction & Rodent Control is nasty and rude. Overpriced, pushy, and unprofessional.

Provider response

Hi Tommy,<br>We're sorry that you were unhappy with our service options. We strive to provide professional and effective pest control services at fair and competitive prices. If you would like information on other treatment options that may better fit your needs, please give us a call. While we do not treat wildlife, we can protect your home and yard from a variety of pests including rodents, ticks, fleas, termites, and more. <br>Sincerely,<br>Michelle B.<br>Customer Relations Team

If I could leave zero stars, I absolutely would. This company is nothing but dishonest and manipulative. They flat-out lied about their prices, promised we wouldn’t be charged unless we were satisfied, then tried to hit us with a $250 cancellation fee for a job they didn’t even finish. When I called, they were rude, unapologetic, and completely inconsiderate. Their pricing is deceptive, their sales tactics are pushy, and it’s obvious they had a hidden agenda from the start. Even after I asked to cancel, they still tried to lock us into monthly charges we never agreed to. I told them I’d leave a bad review, and they couldn’t care less—which shows how little they value customers. They did end up not charging us but do yourself a favor and stay far away from this company. (The only decent part of this whole mess was the tech, Mario—he was respectful, patient, and professional. Too bad the company itself is the complete opposite.)

Provider response

Hi Cathy,<br>We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience with us was frustrating and left you feeling misled—that’s never our intention. We take feedback like this very seriously and apologize that the way our service terms and billing were communicated caused confusion and dissatisfaction. We're grateful for the opportunity to speak with you directly and have close your account and waive the initial service fee altogether in hopes of resolving the situation to your satisfaction. With that said, we clearly did not meet your expectations, and for that, we sincerely apologize. <br>Sincerely,<br>Cortney G<br>Customer Relations Team

Sales guy showed up and used my neighbors as a bargaining chip. Was with them for a few months until i found out none of my neighbors called for them. Rude technicians BUT the last tech that came out was a great guy. If they knock on your door. Don't answer. Wasted 50 a month because i was dumb I got duped.

Provider response

Hi Andrew-<br>We appreciate you sharing your feedback with us. We’re truly sorry your experience did not meet your expectations, especially regarding the sales interaction and initial service. We understand your frustration. As we discussed, we have waived the early termination fee and processed your account cancellation as requested. We appreciate your honest input, and we wish you all the best.<br>Sincerely,<br>Cortney G<br>Customer Relations Team

After signing up we were told that they cannot spray around gardens which is the entire perimeter of the home. A technician came out and made racial comments which were very uncomfortable and unneeded. We canceled the service. 0 stars - they are predatory and are harassing my neighborhood. Natalie is a great service rep she gets 5 stars.

Provider response

Hi Mary-<br>Thank you for sharing your experience. We take your concerns very seriously and want to make things right. Unfortunately, we couldn’t locate your information in our system, but we would really appreciate the chance to talk with you directly. Please give us a call at (518) 412-7516 at your convenience.

I don't know if the service quality is good or not. After being lied to and tricked by the sales guy, I never want to do business with them again. Also, I dont believe most of these reviews are even real. The way these services are pitched is shady and potentially illegal. Having someone sign a blank iPad screen and then superimposing that signature wherever you want it can't be legal

Provider response

Hi Nicole- <br>We're so sorry you had a bad experience with our sales representative. That is frustrating and not part of our values here at Fox. We'd love to discuss your experience further. Please contact us at (518) 412-7516. We sure appreciate the feedback.<br>Sincerely,<br>Cortney G.<br>Customer Relations Team

UPDATE Due to a lack of effective mosquito control, I contacted FOX Pest Control to cancel my service. At that time, I was told they would provide a free "target" treatment if I was unhappy with the results. I agreed, and they performed the service—which lasted no more than five minutes. Assuming this was a goodwill gesture and we were parting ways, I was surprised to later receive a bill for $107 for the so-called free "target" service. When I called FOX customer service, the representative acknowledged what had happened. She explained that my June service had been rescheduled to the beginning of the month, and the "free" treatment was now being considered part of my regular service at the end of the month. I reiterated that I had canceled my service (twice) and had only agreed to the follow-up because it was clearly stated to be free. The rep spoke with her supervisor, who then offered to reduce the bill to half. I declined, as I believe it’s unethical to charge for a service that was promised as free. My advice: stay away from FOX Pest Control. Their mosquito treatment was ineffective. And worst of all, they mislead a customer and then try to charge for services they claimed were FREE. OLD I signed up for the mosquito control program with Fox Pest Control. They serviced my property four times, and I had to call them back twice because of the persistent mosquito problem. Unfortunately, I haven’t noticed any improvement after their visits. While their customer service is good, their product is ineffective. I won’t be using their services next year.

Your concerns are noted. Please accept our apologies for the ineffective mosquito control service. Feel free to reach out to us at (518) 412-7516 to discuss further.<br>Sincerely, <br>Kacie E.<br>Customer Relations Team

Absolutely zero organization at this company - constant cancellations (despite written confirmation and prepayment of appointments) with no communication whatsoever - we were left waiting multiple times with nobody showing up or even calling to say they had to cancel. In one instance, they couldn't even figure out where their own technician was. They would leave us on hold for long periods of time every time we called. They cannot keep their own schedule straight to save their lives. Not sure how they're even operating or have good reviews at all. Use at your own risk, tbh

Provider response

Hi Olivia-<br>We sincerely apologize for the scheduling issues and communication gaps you experienced. We understand how frustrating and inconvenient this must have been for you. We take your feedback seriously and want to address these concerns. Please contact us at (518) 412-7516 so we can make this right. We're committed to improving our services.<br>Sincerely,<br>Cortney G.<br>Customer Relations Team

If you’re considering Fox Pest Albany, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. I’ve never used their services, never contacted them, and never expressed interest, yet they spammed my inbox seven times within minutes. Same message. Sent over and over again. This is not how a professional company operates. It’s intrusive, careless, and tells me everything I need to know about how they likely run their business. If this is their approach to outreach, I have zero confidence in their ability to handle anything properly. If you value your time, your inbox, or basic respect, please steer clear.

Provider response

Hi Alex,<br>We apologize for the multitude of messages you received from us. There should have only been one email, and the repeats were due to a technical glitch. Sorry for the inconvenience this caused you. If you replied to the email and declined service, your email was removed from our contact list. Should you need any pest control assistance in the future, we will be happy to help.<br>Best Wishes,<br>Michelle B.<br>Customer Relations Team

Very poor communication between office staff, service techs, and clients. The service tech did not clearly explain the process when I was confused. They charged me the full amount for the job after starting it, not even completing 75% of the job, and before they (didn't) called to schedule the completion.

Provider response

Hi Kate-<br>We apologize that our services did not meet your expectations. I see our team has been in contact with you to address these concerns. We really appreciate your feedback.<br>Sincerely,<br>Cortney G.<br>Customer Relations Team<br>
