By using our Site, requesting a quote, scheduling a service, or signing a service agreement, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.

2 Services Provided

• Attic rodent inspection, removal, and exclusion
• Rodent and wildlife trapping and live removal

3 Service Area & Availability

PestPunt serves locations throughout our statewide service area. Service availability may vary by location, technician availability, and seasonal demand. We reserve the right to decline service requests in areas where we cannot safely or legally operate.

Same-day and emergency services are offered subject to technician availability and are not guaranteed. PestPunt will make reasonable efforts to fulfill same-day requests received before 12:00 PM local time.

4 Estimates & Pricing

All estimates provided — by phone, online, or in person — are non-binding approximations based on the information available at the time. Final pricing is determined following an on-site inspection and is documented in a written flat-rate quote prior to service commencement.

• Estimates do not constitute a contract or guarantee of service.
• Prices may vary based on the scope, severity, and complexity of the infestation.
• Additional charges may apply for access difficulties, hazardous conditions, or work outside the original scope, with your prior written approval.
• Multi-visit service programs are priced on a per-program basis. Prices are locked for the duration of any signed program agreement.

5 Payment Terms

Payment is due upon completion of service unless otherwise agreed in writing. We accept major credit cards, debit cards, checks, and electronic bank transfers.

• Deposits: Projects exceeding $500 may require a deposit of up to 50% prior to scheduling.
• Late Payments: Invoices unpaid after 30 days will accrue interest at 1.5% per month.
• Returned Checks: A $35 fee will be charged for returned checks.
• Collections: Accounts more than 60 days past due may be referred to a collections agency. Customer is responsible for all reasonable collection costs, including attorney's fees.

6 Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy

• Standard Appointments: Cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours in advance at no charge.
• Same-Day Cancellations: Cancellations with less than 4 hours' notice may incur a $75 service call fee.
• No-Show / Access Denied: If our technician arrives and cannot access the property, a $75 trip charge applies.

7 Service Guarantee

PestPunt stands behind its work. Our standard guarantee terms are:

• Exclusion Services: 12-month guarantee against re-entry through sealed points. If rodents breach a sealed entry point we treated within the guarantee period, we will re-seal at no additional charge.
• Trapping & Removal: Follow-up visits included until active infestation is resolved, per the service agreement.
• Insulation Replacement: Materials carry the manufacturer's warranty; labor is warranted for 90 days.

8 Customer Responsibilities

To enable safe and effective service, you agree to:

• Provide accurate information about the infestation, property, and access conditions.
• Ensure safe access to the property at the scheduled time, including attic hatches, crawl spaces, and exterior areas.
• Remove pets from treatment areas and follow all pre-service preparation instructions provided by your technician.
• Disclose known hazards, including mold, asbestos, structural instability, or hostile animals.
• Not modify, cover, or remove exclusion materials, traps, or bait stations installed by PestPunt without our prior authorization.

9 Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

• PestPunt's total liability for any claim arising from our services shall not exceed the total amount paid by you for the specific service giving rise to the claim.
• We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, or special damages, including loss of use, loss of data, or lost profits.
