Outside at this very moment is the Termite Man. I did my first paid to call on here yesterday and
was to get something like $2.00 but I did not receive it. There was never paid to call offers that
I was legitimately interested in. I'm building a new house and I have a legitimate interest in the
spraying for termites as all new buildings should have. I want you to know, I did not get paid the
$2.00 credit for making the call. The termite man they sent out, is in fact here and he has been
here for over 30 minutes checking out the new house and making his quote. I probably won't go
with him no matter what he quotes simply because I did not get my $2.00 credit!
Congratulations, your post is worth gold. You seem to be a person of principles and you earn
high respects for that......I would have not even let the termite guy on my property and I would have
given them the reason.
BTW, be careful because in this industry there is a lot of rip-off ! Most of the time you will get people coming
to your home to give you quotes and their purpose is to sell at all costs, as they have quotas. They will invent
problems that do not exist and sell you products you don't need. Most of the time if you do research you can
learn a lot about preventing measures inside and outside your house and you can even head over to some trusted
exterminator companies, some sell products on site that you can use, of course assuming you don't have an infestation, then you would need them to come over
I really don't wish you ever have to face a termites problem, that is the LAST thing a home owner wants to deal with, that and carpenter ants, some are the size of mice !
Do It Yourself home owners save thousands of $ every year - I'm one of them, I think so far I've saved over $100k
Keep your house clean, proper ventilation and proper humidity. High humidity is a big no-no. Outside your home,
keep your yard clean, avoid rotten wood lying around. If your window frames are rotten / old, replace them.
If you follow these simple steps you can avoid majority of problems in your home when it comes to insects.
Of course in some cases you might get infestations even if you are doing everything right......
Those termites you get might be coming from your neighbour.......
If you live in an old home you are a good target, because they will look for something that is not really
a problem and turn it into a problem. Like for example if you have really old windows, you might have
the a worn out wooden frame that might look partially or completely rotten on the outside - you
may not have had a single termite or ant there, but they will scare you and tell you that the wood
was once inhabited by termites and ants.......
Sorry you got scammed of $2.00, join the club of scamees.........

Indeed, but if people stay quiet and accept to being scammed, who's going to win in the end ?
ClixSense got scammed from their cut too. You got scammed $2.00.
If you followed the paid to call rules to the T, there is no reason why you should not dispute this and
have them pay you. (by them I mean the network offering the P2C).
Do you have a landline or VoIP ? Those offers work with landlines only.
Now they have your phone number through the toll line's CID. You are now probably on every exterminator's sucker list.......And I guess you can say now you will be "bugged" a lot.......
(Sorry couldn't resist!).
