Our take
The free first application looks like a slam-dunk and it kind of is — TruGreen will spray your weeds at no upfront cost. The thing nobody mentions is that "first application" is the entry point to a recurring service that re-bills automatically every 6–8 weeks, and the next invoice is $65+. Take the first treatment if you want a real chemical knockdown of crabgrass without the trip to Home Depot, then call to cancel the same week. If you're not ready for that fight, just don't sign up.

“This one's a stealth charge waiting to happen. You buy a $99 doorbell, the trial auto-starts the moment you plug it in, and 30 days later you're paying for Multi because you also have a Stick Up Cam in the backyard. Ring is genuinely worth $5/mo for Solo if you only have one device — but if you bought Ring assuming "the camera is the cost," budget for it now or cancel the trial inside the app the same week you install. Without the plan, the camera basically becomes a $99 motion notifier with no video history, so most people cave.”
