We Don’t Knock — Why Defense Pest Solutions Rejects Door-to-Door Sales
In the last few months, we’ve seen a sharp rise in door-to-door pest control sales in our area — and along with it, a flood of complaints and concerning stories from homeowners.
At Defense Pest Solutions, we want to be absolutely clear: we do not go door to door. We never have. We never will.
What’s Happening?
Lately, more and more people have contacted us with reports of unmarked individuals knocking on doors, using high-pressure sales tactics, and making questionable claims — including saying they’re 'in
the area' or 'just treated your neighbor.'
We’ve heard things like:
- "They wouldn’t leave until I agreed to something."
- "He said my house had signs of bugs and insisted I needed immediate service."
- "They had no ID and no marked vehicle."
- "They said they were with a local company I recognized — but it wasn’t true."
This isn’t just annoying — it’s deceptive. And it’s giving our industry a bad name.
Our Stance: We Serve, We Don’t Pressure.
At Defense Pest Solutions, our goal is to help, not to hustle. We don’t believe in showing up uninvited or pressuring anyone into a service they didn’t ask for.
You’ll never find one of our team members knocking on your door unannounced to pitch pest control.
What you will see from us:
- Uniformed technicians with name tags
- Clearly marked company vehicles
- Friendly, professional service — only when requested
- No pressure, ever
We may leave a door hanger at a nearby home if we’re treating a neighbor, but we don’t knock, ring, or
pressure. That’s not who we are.
Pest Control Should Be Built on Trust
We believe your home is your safe place, and any service provider — especially one dealing with pests and protection — should earn your trust through professionalism, not pressure tactics.
When you work with Defense Pest Solutions, you’re choosing:
- Honest, upfront communication
- No surprise visits or sales tricks
- Safe solutions for your family and pets
- A local company that stands by its work
If You’re Concerned
If someone comes to your door claiming to offer pest control and you feel unsure — ask for ID, verify the company name, and never feel obligated to sign anything on the spot. You have every right to take
your time, ask questions, and make decisions without pressure.
If you want pest control from a team that respects your time, your space, and your trust — we’re here when you need us.
