Weird interaction with 'Shield' extermination?

Our take

Today, while housesitting for my in-laws, I experienced a strange encounter with a person claiming to work for a company called 'Shield.' My dogs began barking, prompting me to look outside, where I saw a man in a black polo shirt inspecting the windows and walls. When I approached him, he explained that his company was there to remove 'centipede cocoons' and offered a price list when I inquired about fees. Despite his non-threatening demeanor, I felt uneasy and told him to leave immediately. After researching 'Shield' in Hawaii and finding nothing, I wonder if anyone else has encountered this situation. Should I report this incident to the police for safety? I'm sharing my experience in hopes of raising awareness. Thank you for any advice!

Today my dogs started barking.

We are housesitting at my in-laws. I looked out the door, which is behind a GATE, and a guy with a black polo shirt saying 'Shield' on it was looking at the windows and walls.

I asked why he was there, and he said his company is removing 'centipede coccoons' and other things from houses. I asked if there's a fee, and he pulled out a 'price list". I told him we're not interested, he kept trying to sell it, and I finally said get off our property NOW or I'll call the cops.

Has ANYONE heard of this company? I didn't even think to ask about it, I just figired he's trying to scam. He wasn't nasty or anything, but I've looked up 'Shield' in Hawaii and find NOTHING.

It was in Makakilo. I see a company called 'EcoShield', but their uniforms seem to SAY 'EcoShield' and have different color. I also didn't notice a company car.

He showed up TOTAL unannounced.

Anyone else experienced that?

Should we be more concerned, call the police and file a report or something?

Was totally weird, and looking for advice and to help others be aware...

Thanks in advance ☺️
