At Waynes Pest Control, we pride ourselves on delivering honest, expert service that families can trust. Unfortunately, not all companies play by the same rules — especially when it comes to door-to-door sales.
What’s Happening
During warmer months, some national pest control companies send large teams of door-to-door salespeople into neighborhoods. These reps are often seasonal, inexperienced, and trained to use high-pressure tactics to close deals quickly. In some cases, they even make misleading claims, such as:
- Pretending to be local when they’re not
- Claiming to be affiliated with reputable companies like Waynes
- Suggesting leadership or ownership changes at trusted providers
- Pressuring homeowners with “limited-time” offers
These tactics can be deceptive — and in some cases, they’ve led to lawsuits and regulatory action.

What You Can Do

- Report suspicious behavior to local authorities or your pest control company
