Quick answer
Yes, a Green Guard pest control contract in Boise is real, but it's short. Quarterly and bimonthly plans use a 1-year service agreement that starts with the $49 first service ($150 off the normal first visit). Cancel in year one and the only cost is that $150 discount. After the first year, service continues quarter by quarter with no renewal requirement and no cancellation fee.
Key Takeaways
- Quarterly and bimonthly plans use a 1-year service agreement. That's it. No multi-year contracts.
- The $49 first service is $150 off the normal first visit, and cancelling in year one simply means paying that $150 discount back.
- After year one, service rolls on quarter by quarter with no renewal requirement and no cancellation fee.
- Free re-service between visits comes with every quarterly and bimonthly plan, for as long as you stay on it. Pests come back, so do we.
- Want zero agreement? The one-time service runs $200 to $250 by home size and includes a one-month warranty.

Is a Pest Control Contract in Boise a Long-Term Trap?
No forever contracts here. A Green Guard plan is a 1-year service agreement. After that first year, service just keeps going quarter by quarter, with no renewal to sign and no cancellation fee.
That's the short answer to "is pest control a contract?" for Boise homeowners. It's an agreement, it's one year, and the cost of leaving early is spelled out before you start.
We get why people ask. Plenty of folks have heard horror stories about multi-year deals and surprise fees from big national chains. So here's every term, in plain English, so you know exactly what you're signing.
What Does the 1-Year Service Agreement Include?
The agreement locks in your rate for a year of scheduled visits, plus free re-service between them. Here's what you get on a quarterly or bimonthly plan.
- A $49 first service. That's $150 off our normal first visit, and it includes the inspection and a full treatment.
- Scheduled visits every 3 months on quarterly, or every 2 months on bimonthly.
- Exterior perimeter barrier spray, eave sweeping, and web and wasp nest removal. Interior baseboards and cracks get treated on request.
- Free re-service between visits. If pests come back, so do we. No charge, ever.
- A locked rate for the year, so your price doesn't creep up mid-season.
- An emailed invoice after each visit, with your invoices and service history in our online customer portal.
What Happens If You Cancel in the First Year?
Cancelling inside year one costs the $150 discount you got on the first service. That's the whole penalty. No percentage of the remaining visits, no mystery "early termination" math.
Here's the logic. We drop the first service to $49 because we expect to treat your home for a full year. If the plan ends early, that discount comes back to us. If it doesn't, you keep it.
Most people never think about it again. Most pests drop off within 1 to 2 days of a treatment, and the barrier does its work between visits. Comparing companies? Our list of questions to ask an exterminator helps you get every company's cancellation terms on the table.
What Happens After the First Year?
After year one, service continues quarter by quarter with no renewal requirement and no cancellation fee. You don't sign a new agreement every spring.
Your visits keep coming on schedule, and free re-service keeps working between them. If you ever decide to stop after that first year, there's no fee to walk away.
Honestly? We'd rather earn your business every visit than trap you with paperwork. That's how a local Boise company keeps 4.9 stars across 170+ Google reviews.

Can You Get Pest Control Without an Agreement?
Yes. Our one-time service needs no agreement. It runs $200 to $250 by home size and comes with a one-month warranty.
It's a good fit for a single wasp nest in July, a move-out treatment, or a home that's rarely had pest trouble.
For ongoing pressure (ants every spring, spiders every fall), the plan usually wins. You start with the $49 first service instead of paying $200 or more, and re-service between visits is free for as long as you're on the plan. The one-time warranty ends after a month.
Red Flags to Watch for in Any Pest Control Contract
Most annual agreements in the industry are fair. A few aren't. Read the fine print for these before you sign anything, with us or anyone else.
- Multi-year terms. A two- or three-year commitment on a first visit is built for the company, not you.
- Re-service that expires, has a short window, or carries a trip charge.
- Auto-renewal for another full year unless you cancel during a narrow notice window.
- A cancellation fee that's a share of the remaining visits instead of a clear, fixed number.
- Door-to-door pressure to sign today. The FTC Cooling-Off Rule gives you three days to cancel many sales made at your home, so don't let a salesperson rush you.
- A teaser price with no clear rate for the visits that follow.
Does Free Re-Service Actually Get Used?
It does, and it's a big part of why the agreement is worth having. In Jun 2026, 10 of 14 calls where the pest was recorded as ants were re-service requests.
That's the plan working the way it should. Ant colonies can take 10 days to 2 weeks to collapse after treatment, and warm weather pushes new trails indoors. When that happens on a plan, we come back at no charge.
