    I've had Terminix treat our home for cockroaches. My mother-in-law moved in with us from an apartment and my son stored some of his belongings in my home from an apartment. I got critters from an apartment and Terminix helped, so we bought a year with them. They've done two treatments for us. We also purchased termite protection from them. We call them when we see an issue, and we have a year to have them come out as often as we want them to.

    For our year-long contract with Terminix, we have had the same technician. For the termite plan, that's another whole portion of the company, so we don't have the same technician. They won’t look at the traps again for another year. I've scheduled service with Terminix once online and once through their 800 number, and both methods have been very satisfactory. Both are very viable ways to get ahold of people and that allows the person to have the preference rather than forcing them to go online. My parents would hate it if they had to go online.

    We've been with Terminix for less than a year and it has been a very satisfactory experience. We've been very pleased with the way they communicated with us, the way they contacted us, and the way that they carried out the instructions that they gave us and the questions that we had. I've been impressed with their thoroughness and their ability to come when they say they would. It's an amazing thing in this day and time.

    I spoke with a gentleman from Terminix and he's the same one who comes out. He called several days before. I shared with him that I know he does the exterior but I saw some activity in the home and I wanted him to spray in the home. He told me he would and he would give me a call when he was on his way. He came on the day he said he was coming, but he never gave me a call to meet him there. He did the exterior of my home I guess because he left a piece of paper saying that he did. I didn't call and complain. But before then, I was able to call the 1800 number and someone got on the phone immediately and addressed my concern. Also, since the tech came out, I haven’t seen any pest activity. Terminix is good as long as there is no heavy rain following the treatment.

    Terminix came a month ago to exterminate the basement. The contractor was professional and he's the same one. When I'm not home, my parents know he's coming and he does the work. The last time that he was here, he exterminated when there were kids in the house and my sister was upset about that. The products are supposed to be safe but she wasn’t happy with that and she has been asking for natural products which is hard. The contractor and I talked about it. He said the products are not harmful but I don’t think that’s the case. Nevertheless, the pest activity has decreased since he has been coming out.

    About 10 years ago, we signed a contract with Terminix. They guaranteed our house would remain free of termites and the contract sort of got dropped. We stopped getting the renewals from Terminix and one thing led to another. I called the local office and they started sending the technicians again, but we never had any kind of agreement. So it was this really weird thing. But Terminix continued to bill us every year, but we never had an agreement.

    Then, two years ago, we sort of revisited it with the local office. They sent out one of their supervisors and he was somewhat helpful. This guy decided inspecting the house wasn’t good enough anymore and now they have us set up on this new plan. It used to be they just came out and inspected for termites. Now, they don't really inspect for termites. They put all these canisters around the perimeter which cost more money and they check those to see if anything has been eating the bait. Nothing ever eats the bait, but that’s kind of the plan we’re on. It’s more of a preventive plan.

    The scheduling works okay and as far as dealing with the technicians on time and what they’re gonna do, we have no complaints or issues with Terminix. But when we have to deal with bigger things like what is the agreement that we’re signing, getting a copy of the agreement, getting them to explain to us what the agreement is and is not, they fail miserably at that. Getting all that, that gets left to their supervisor or the guy who manages the office. That has not been a good experience. They come out, tell us one thing, and then when we get something in the mail, it’s different than what we thought we talked to them about.

    Also, we always end up talking to somebody different. We never get the same person twice. But we’ve had the same technician the last two times and that has been kind of nice. The people at the office just kick us to the central office and the central office doesn’t know anything. I’m probably gonna drop Terminix at the end of this current contract. It doesn’t feel like it’s worth it anymore.

    I purchased a home and in the past, it had termites. It already had Terminix for coverage so I just kept it. Their tech came out recently for an inspection and he was very nice. He has been with the company for several years and he did a thorough job.

    Terminix holds a termite bond on the house. I have a normal contract for maintenance and upkeep and they come four times a year so I have very little interaction with pests. My normal guy would call a day or two before to say that he's coming over unless it rains. Then, he comes out, does his normal stuff, and leaves me the paperwork.

    However, they sent a different guy one time which was not a good thing. This one just popped in as an email reminder. I've developed a relationship with the guy who does our normal stuff and that has importance. You don’t change that arbitrarily. Also, my normal guy already knows my dog and doesn't worry about it. He understands all the other little intricacies of the dog being here, and so I don’t have to tell him not to spray places because the dog is here. This other guy didn’t do it like it needed to be with an animal in the house but he showed up within the time block and did a wonderful job. But then, I blundered along for a little while and then, I got a postcard saying that they'd increase my rates. So I called them up and said that if they would be raising my rates, I'd be going to fewer services a year. And if they would raise them enough, I’m gonna go to no services with them.

    We had ants and after I called Terminix, they came out, did the inspection and started treating. We had Terminix for a year and a half and the reps on the phone were great. They did exactly what we asked and were really helpful. The technicians were great as well. They were friendly and they gave us a lot of helpful information on what we needed to do to help prevent the critters from coming back.

    Terminix would come out and treat the area of the house that we were seeing the ants in. Within three days, the ants would be gone and it would be months before we would see them come back. It's usually the ants that would start showing up in a different part of the house. And it's usually after I had done something, like some sort of little construction project, and disturbed the outside of the house that they would find their way into the house. So then Terminix would focus on that part of the house. It was like chasing the pests around. But the service significantly reduced the pest activity.

    I've been with Terminix for 50 years or so and they've done us good. The only thing is that their fee just got out of range. We’ve had this contract with them since way back in the 60s and they sprayed the house one time. They come every year and inspect it, and that’s good, but they’ve been charging me way too much money because they've never had to spray it again. And they agreed with me. Thank goodness they gave us a discount. Last time, they visited for a deduction on the payment and they did it so I'm well-pleased with them. The technicians were good too. They did all they could. They did that one spray and we’ve never had another issue since. It must have been a good job and if it’s lasted 50 years, it’ll outlast me. I’m 85 now. So far, we’re pleased with Terminix and I would recommend them to a friend.

    Due to a mouse problem back in July, I called Terminix and they put out traps, put in the chemical they need to into those things, and then put out the flypaper kind of stuff. I paid to have the whole outside checked, and so, the tech walked through the different places with me and showed me the pipes where the mice might be coming up from the basement into the first floor of the house. The guy also went up on the roof. The techs have done all that I know for them to do and everyone that has been sent out has done excellent service. The last time a tech was here we did everything inside, and since it was a different guy, I also walked him through to show him where the traps were. He replaced the bait and those traps, and gave me another trap or two because he thought the mice might be coming in the furnace room in the basement.

    My only complaint, however, is that there is a breakdown in communication with the service call because when I call the 800 and tell them to do a different time, that doesn’t always go through in communicating. So, it’s between the 800 number’s communication and the people in Roanoke to come over here. Other than that, it has been a wonderful experience. I’m completely happy with what Terminix has done.

I started calling in October and I didn’t get anybody to say that they would come back until December. Finally, when he came, he found the problem was in a closet in the study. He treated it very well and explained it to me, and it was a good service. However, when Terminix sends out techs to do treatment, they leave the toxin all over the sidewalk and the porch. Then I track it inside and my kitties lick it off my shoes and off the floor and then they throw up. A tech also broke the spring that opens the screen door on my front porch getting the ladder in and out. They also upended a shoe rack in my closet and the shoes were all over the floor of my closet so when I opened the closet door, I could hardly do it because the shoes were in the way.

    Long story short, I called Terminix to come and exterminate for bed bugs. It cost us over $1000 for service and a 90 day treatment was guaranteed also. They want you to also continue treatment yourself, which defeats the purpose of you paying them for it. They expect you to make the appointments after the 1st initial treatment so if you have a busy schedule, you won’t keep up with the 90 days treatment. Long story short, after 3 treatments from them since June, I still have bed bugs. I had to throw out my living room furniture which I’ve only had for 2 years and now I have to throw out both the beds in my kids room which are only a year old. They won’t respond to bad reviews either, only to the good ones. I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone.

They schedule the service and they let us know a week in advance when they're coming out. Overall, we're pretty satisfied with the technicians. When we had some ants in the kitchen, the guy put some things in there. When we had some palmetto bugs at night in the dishwasher, he took care of that. I had some carpenter bees outside too and he suggested I get traps. He also did some extra spraying for those. Occasionally, we'd have something and if we call Terminix, they'd usually respond quite well. They didn’t once and it took us three calls to get the guy out here.

When I opened the door for him, I told him that I didn't have the roach issue anymore and he didn't have to go to my house. He said he was not going to but I had to call Terminix. But he works for Terminix and I didn't have their number. Also, I have their service for two houses and they've always been the ones that called me when the techs went to do the work. So, I didn’t call Terminix and the guy didn’t call me again. I would tell friends to be careful in dealing with Terminix but I'd also tell them that the company does a good job in eliminating pests.

    Terminix has been coming out once a quarter for our service. They usually wanted to know what day we would be available, so I gave them that information. Then they called to let us know when they would come out and visit, and to tell us that they were on the way there. Usually, somebody different comes out every time, but the communication with Terminix has always been good whenever they called to let us know who would be coming out. Today, a tech came for a regularly scheduled visit and he was very nice. When the fellow got done, he explained all that he had done and he was quite thorough. Since our service with Terminix began, pest activity in and around our home has been very minor. The service has been doing its job.

    Terminix normally comes out here once a year for the termites. When we first moved in, there was some old termite damage that we had to have corrected and cleaned up, get the household squared away, and put it under a bond with them. I’ve had it that way for 19 years now. When their technicians come here, they're nice enough. They inspect the house, make sure everything is good, and give us a clean bill of health. They have been out here thrice in the last two weeks about some termite damage. I've had three different guys so far but I still don't have a resolution and I'm waiting on a call from the regional office.

    I would recommend Terminix. We had termites and what they've done did the trick. After the first year, there was one bait station that was close to the location that had the termites and it was eaten. When I had to rip out a wall and replace some stuff, the termites were all dead. However, Terminix is supposed to come out and check the termites every year and I am confused as to whether or not they are supposed to replace the bait stations every year or just check them. I have to constantly keep on them in order to get them to come out when they're supposed to. Other than that, the person who came out to replace the bait stations in our most recent service with them was very good.

    I have fire ants and wasps around my house. But Terminix is scheduled to come out every so often, so I was only dealing with the problem for a few weeks before I scheduled a respray and they came out within the next week. I scheduled the service online and it was super quick and easy. Also, my technician called me to verify when he was coming out. It was fantastic and I wasn’t home when he was here but he left a nice note about everything that he did on my door.

    To my awareness, he sprayed the house and some of the bushes that had the wasps in it. He also kinda swept some of the areas that he was noticing that nests were being built and sprayed on the ground to ensure that the fire ants would go away. It's only been a few weeks now and I haven't seen any fire ants. I haven't seen any wasps either, so it looks like the treatment has been working. I'd refer my friends to Terminix. I've used them for years and they're a very great company. They also come when you call them.

    Terminix has been searching out and trying to take care of our pest problem with underground critters that are digging holes all over the yard, around trees and bushes. Derrick from Terminix has been putting out traps, baiting and trying to see and monitor the results of that. He has been following up and so far, so good. This problem has been going on for three years. Terminix treats a hole and it closes up, but then another hole appears. We might have made some progress, but it's hard to really quantify.

    Other than that, Terminix has also sprayed the whole house and outside for pest control. The incidence of sightings and infestations, such as scorpions, getting into the house has been reduced significantly over the last number of years that we've been treating. The tech does a very good job on site. He's very courteous, good at following up, answering, investigating, and coming back to double-check on things even if we're not here. So, he's very thorough in that respect. I would recommend Terminix to others. Occasionally, when people are a little lax with open doors and not following up, things do get in. But all in all, we've been lucky.

    We have the Terminix service for pest control every three months. They notify us as to the date that the tech will be here and give us a timeframe like from 8:00 to 11:00. And we are going to be here. If not, we’ll try to notify the tech, especially the one that has to come inside the house. Most recently, a tech came and treated the house. Everything was fine and we really liked the tech. He was a good, friendly and seemed genuinely concerned about providing us service. He was probably the fifth tech we’ve had since we’ve lived here. All of the techs were very cordial. But this person was extra special in that sense.

    The only issue I have with Terminix is that it seems as though they are raising prices faster than our income rate is going up. I called them last time that there was a notice of a price increase and the representative I talked with asked me if I was a veteran, which I am, so she gave me some kind of a discount on that basis. When all was said and done, the price for the quarterly service was reduced to a few dollars less than what I was paying at the time.

    I also feel that the termite service is overpriced for the annual cost. We pay around $300 plus just for that service. Terminix techs come out every so often and do something including an annual termite inspection, which for the last two times we were not here when it was done. But we were notified that it was going to be done. We have also asked Terminix once for a special treatment when we had a kind of a special infestation. With Terminix, we haven’t complained very much. We would be complaining if we had a huge problem with bugs though.

    One of their representative first get into your door by advertising a one time spray for 150$... once he is in and you are about to sign their contract my husband ask again it is for only a one time. The guys then say, "Yeah well every 3 month..." so my husband wasn't happy because this wasn't mentioned at the door. We decided, "Well let's try it." The technician who was suppose to spray arrived 44 min late. Then 5 min later is about to leave my house. I ask him how long will it take to spray... he said they do not spray the inside and again not what was promise. He only put some gel behind my oven when my entire house had spider.

    My husband called and complain... another technician was suppose to come and spray the house... my husband took a half day off to be there. No one show up... no one called... we tried to have our money back for wasting our time and money but 1 month later we still can't get them to reimburse us.

    Surprisingly, I received a call from Jeremy, a manager in the local office. He was accommodating and provided a couple of telephone numbers for local contact. I was NOT surprised that he was unaware of the problem. It seems that the Terminix communication system is designed to consolidate all customer contact to a call center in Florida, thereby eliminating the need to deal with annoying customers on a local level. My experience with that call center is dismal. The employment criteria seem to be limited to being able to walk and chew gum simultaneously. I revise my rating upward based on Jeremy's response, but my critical comments of Terminix's approach to customer relations stand.

    Original Review: Dec. 1, 2018

    Terminix does a monthly pest control service and they let us know when it's time for the service by telephone and email. The technician, if we're home, tries to make contact with us when he's here and the techs that have come out have been fine. However, we've been a Terminix customer for more than 30 years and the thing that I find absolutely amazing is that in that 30 years’ time, I've never seen or talked to anyone above the level of their service technician. And that only way I've ever been able to get anything accomplished is because I became friends with the service tech. When I call Terminix, I end up talking to a call center in Florida and they are next to useless. I need to speak to somebody at the management level in the local office, not in Florida.

    We have canceled two services that were on-going, the annual services because of the fact that we couldn't schedule. They would tell us, arbitrarily when they were gonna show up, and they did not show up and didn't reschedule. If it wasn't for the local technicians, we would terminate the service. The only line of defense they've got are these guys that show up here every month. Beyond that, it's a mindless, uncaring organization.

    Terminix is horrible and the most unprofessional company I have ever met in my life. They were supposed to spray for bugs and they did. But the technician came out unannounced, so when he showed up at 10:30 in the morning, I answered the door and I was in my underwear. Then said person went to his company and told everybody about it. About a couple months later, that technician told the neighbor that lived down the street that I said that the other technician that came to my house and sprayed for bugs was a wife beater. He also said that I got that other technician fired because I said that.

    The two managers that run this Redding district, Ken and Robert, are like family members with the first technician that was at my house spreading rumors. So he’s not fired but they fired the other one. I called them 40 times but they wouldn’t even call me back. Then one of them called and said sorry that he hadn’t called me for three weeks. He said he was hunting and he was talking about it, but I didn't care about that. They also tried charging me for cancelling my membership because I didn’t want the first technician out here anymore. They said they didn't understand my reason and that what I told them would never happen.

    Other than that, while I was with Terminix, I got the service where they were supposed to come out quarterly and spray outside. After the first time that they came out, they said I wouldn’t have a problem for four months because of whatever they sprayed. But I live by the river and there are so many spiders and bugs. They're everywhere, so it wasn’t enough to be a quarterly service. So I was gonna have them come out more, but they didn't wanna do that.

    Terminix's service hasn’t been the same and we’ve been having issues with it. We had to keep calling back. The technician that was doing the service before would give me a heads-up call and say that he was about 45 minutes or half an hour from our house. My wife works 10 minutes from the house and that way, I can call her and she can go over to our house. However, Terminix stopped doing that. We had scheduled services a couple of times for the past year and a half and the tech had shown up twice. The young man that used to come to our house went to another company. He was great and I tried to tell the other technicians how that kid worked, but they weren't worried about it.

    We like Terminix, but there is another company out there that I can switch to if they are not gonna give me service. They are quick to send me a bill for the three-month service and every time that I would call, they would say that I am still $36 short. I would say, “I haven’t even gotten a service in a couple of months. Do you expect me to pay you now when you haven’t even serviced me?” It is about $85 every three months and it isn’t chump change. I told them that I can go to another company if they kept that up, although I’m giving them a chance to service us.

    We had a good experience with Terminix prior to that. If the tech was very busy and the appointment would be at 4:00, he would say, “Hey Pete, I’m running a little late. Tell your wife I’m gonna be around 5:00.” I'd tell him I appreciate him calling me, and then I’d call my wife. However, this past year, my wife was not too happy with the service. I’ve been with Terminix for more than 10 years, so I expected to have a bit of customer service. I wish that they would give me a heads up or even send me a text on the phone. The guy that called my wife and said, “Well, I’m gonna be there around 7:00 or 6:00,” never showed up and never gave her a call back to say sorry. I’m hoping it is gonna get better.

    I have been with Terminix for four years, and for a couple of months over the summer, I had to make several calls back because I was having consistent issues with roaches, spiders and ants. I felt like a couple of times, it was just literally a run-through. It wasn’t very thorough and I feel like that’s why I had to call back to have two more service calls. With one of the guys, he tells me that I'll be fine, that he'll come back and drop some things off. There was even a time when a guy came through to do a treatment after one of my calls because I was having issues. And some of my blinds were messed up and it was not very customer service-friendly.

    I didn’t feel like my home was treated as if they would treat their own. And if they would treat their own that way, then that’s definitely now how I would like my house. But it wasn't done with care and consistency. It was like, “Let me just go ahead so I can mark this off my list and get off work for the day.” Because I was towards the end on all their service calls because I work. I can’t sit at home from 9:00 to 3:00 or 9:00 to 12:00. I’m the type to do an end-of-the-day appointment.

    Meanwhile, the customer reps over the phone were great. They say all the right things. The last time I called, the lady I spoke with was very helpful. I got frustrated ‘cause literally the day before, the guy had come out to spray again. I was in my closet and I saw a roach crawling from under a dresser. So, she took the time to put me on hold and talked with the manager and came back. She said that the reason that’s happening is that they’ve treated. She then told me to give it four days and if I still see something after, then I should call them back. As for the technicians, there was this short guy who was sent out because I also had problems with wasps.

    The tall guy told me I needed to call back and have somebody else out because they couldn’t do a whole home assessment to figure out why I was getting wasps. And the first guy, who treats, gave me the wrong information. He didn't do the job there. And the other man who handles termites didn't even come to the house. He told me to just call in for the treatment. And if you keep calling for extra treatments, then that would alert the manager that your home is not being treated properly, and they’ll make the person come out and do the right thing. So, that was a little frustrating because I rushed home that day for him to come in and do the whole assessment that I was told would be done, and then he said he doesn't need to do that.

    So far, I’ve had a few spiders, but that’s because it’s getting cold here. It's not the result of a bad treatment. And then there has been a couple of roaches but that even hasn’t improved since August. However, this past summer, there seemed to be an increase in pest activity out of the blue and I don't know the treatment that I'm on. There were times that Terminix came out and treated it from the exterior and I wasn’t home. They put a crate on my door, but I don’t know what they did. So, when those exterior treatments were happening, in my assessments, they didn’t do anything because I was having the same if not, an increase from the interior, which is an appalling thing.

    Still I need to see how between now and the next summer’s gonna go because if I have to deal with what I dealt with this year, I'd likely go work with somebody else. I paid too much money to have issues. Every year, I have an issue with wasps, spiders, as well as ants and roaches. It’s the same four things every single year. Other than that, there's this tech I had two years ago. When he came, he literally spent about an hour and a half on my house. He treated every corner, he was up in the attic. He was the only thorough field service person I‘ve ever had.

    We bought an older house and at one point, it had termites. It didn't have termites when we bought it, but we wanted a preventative kind of thing. So, we contacted Terminix. They're mainly screening for our termites. They also let us know if there's any problem under the house since my husband and I are both older now and we don't crawl under the house very well. We've been with them so long and they do treatment every so often. We usually get a letter from them that says that they're gonna schedule a service for such and such a date. If we have a problem, there's a phone number on there but we usually don't, so we just go with whatever date they're gonna show up.

    The technicians that they send out are good. They're courteous when they come and they're helpful. They do what they're supposed to do and they usually show up on time. One time, we had a water leak that we didn't know we had under the house and the guy told us about that. Luckily, we haven't had any further issues.

By the time I was done, he was done and he was gone. I have one complaint though. My Terminix service payment is yearly and due in March and last month, I already got a bill that said, “Pay your bill now.” It’s not due in October, so it shouldn’t be bad if people can’t pay it half a year early.

    Terminix comes to my home once a year for termite inspection and prevention services. Everything went fine the last time they came out. They scheduled their visit, came out, checked well, and gave us a report. Contacting them is all done through their messaging service. We do what we can, but I would like to get a better price. Nevertheless, the techs have always been friendly and they've made my wife and children feel comfortable.

    Every three months, someone from Terminix comes to do pest control. And we're now at a point where they just come in the middle of the day and I don't even have to be there. I just get a phone call from the person saying that they did the service and I'm all set. So far, I'm not seeing spiders and bugs so it seems pretty thorough. Overall, the service we have from Terminix is cost-efficient. And they did what they said they were gonna do.

    Terminix is priced too expensive compared to other places. Nonetheless, roaches are my main concern and since using Terminix, there’s been an improvement. Their team recently called me to schedule the tech's time window, then he came out and sprayed the outside.

    6 to 7 months ago, we started seeing insects in our kitchen. We have been customers of Terminix for 11 years and had no complaints until this year. After 2 or 3 focused treatments in addition to our routine pest control, there was no improvement. We had the direct contact number for our technician, but he stopped returning calls or responding to texts requesting help with our insect problem. After speaking to a regional service manager over the summer, communications improved for a while. Sadly, as fall approached, our technician became unreachable again.

    Most recently, the regional service manager also can't seem to be bothered with returning calls. Terminix continues to bill us and collect on the routine service despite its ineffectiveness. Since no one is willing to return our calls to seek resolution, I will be terminating our relationship after 11 years. If you are considering hiring Terminix, be prepared to fend for yourself if you have any problems requiring more than minimal response or service.

    We schedule our service calls to Terminix early on for their team to come over on Thursdays and it has worked well. The technician comes over initially to do a walk around the house and it is when we set up the schedule. I could not believe he came out yesterday because it was in the middle of the rain. So, I had a quick chat with him about delaying the service until next week because I did not want the poison to spread around my house while it was raining. That tech who has been coming here since I started the contract is nice and prompt. He comes in and does a walk around the exterior of the house to make sure that there are no gophers. Since Terminix came, the pest activity has been kept under control unless caused by the rain. So generally, it has been great.

    We live in a woody area and we have problems with the number of bugs in our house. There were 10 ladybugs in my ceiling when I woke up two days ago and I’ve been finding bugs all over our place which is unfortunate. We've had Terminix for about four months and a tech comes out every three months. We get texted when the three months are up with possible times and I tell Terminix if the times work.

    The first tech visit we had was great and all the bugs were gone for a while. Unfortunately, the second one was not nearly as thorough. The visit three weeks ago was not great. My roommates said the tech was in and out in about an hour. He sprayed the outside again. But when I came home that night, there were still ladybugs on my ceiling. None of the traps that were set the first time were changed and they still have the bugs that have been there for months. We still are having the same bug problems we’ve been having. There have popped up in recent times. I don’t know if we’d have another Terminix service. It’s all kind of pointless.

    I get an email every three months from Terminix saying that the service is due and that we've got to set up. With the most recent one, I went through the procedure and told them the day they gave me was not a good day. They adjusted it and I gave them a day. They sent me a note saying they were contacting the agent to find out when it would be convenient to come see me and that was the last I heard of it. Then, the tech showed up on the original appointment day and I told him he couldn't do the bug service that day. I could understand if they hadn't responded to my email to not do that but they did.

    I've had a couple of situations where I had to tell them to not do something. One of their techs said they were gonna come whether I was there or not but I like for them to spray in my garage and they can't do that if I'm not here. And they have the tendency to leave the gate open. They went up to a gate, the gate was closed. When they leave, close the gate back. These are all no-brainer things. If I had a Doberman in the yard, and it went out bit somebody, guess who's gonna get blamed. There were techs that were not as exemplary as they could be. Those kinds of things are petty issues.

    Also, they raise the bill every year whether I like it or not. That kind of thing is kind of a wondering for me because they have a tendency just to put it in the bill. "We're gonna go up x amount next time," and then, I get the bill and then I read all the garbage that they throw in there. But those are really not too big of a deal. After all, they do pretty well with the bug service. I don't have bugs and it was just a matter of me finding the right guy. The very first guy I had as very good and he quit. Then, I've gone two or three and the guy I have now seems to be fairly reasonable and a little bit more customer-conscious.

He asked if there were any additional bugs or other problems that we were having, and I said no. He also asked if we're going to be needing the driveway, if we’re gonna go out and I said, “Not for the next hour and a half.” He worked in the yard and around the house without coming inside and then returned to the front door to report that he had finished.

The techs come out every year to check the stations and replace any bait stations that need to be replaced. They also see if there is an evidence of termites on the stations.

    I had ants once and I used Terminix. The man who came that time gave me his telephone number. He told me to call me right away if I see any ants and he would be here to help me. And that was what happened. I saw lots of ants again and he came and sprayed. Then he sprayed again. He was very nice and that was why I decided to use Terminix. This time, I had fleas. The technician sprayed the whole house but when we came back after two days, I saw my gown was full of fleas.

    I called Terminix and they said they would come back on Monday. But it was a Tuesday then and I was going away. I told them that was not fair. I had plane tickets and I asked them to please come. But they said they would come back on Monday. I was very frustrated. I had to go away knowing I had fleas in the house. And because I made that appointment, I had to come early but they didn’t even show up. When I called, they said I was not in the computer. So I wanted to talk to the manager but he also said I was not in the computer. I gave him the name of the person I spoke with but he said he didn’t know who that person is and that maybe they were somewhere else. I was very disappointed.

    After that, I made an appointment and waited for five days. When the man came, he said that he could have come and helped me but nobody had talked to him. The problem was that he had left his name but he didn’t leave the telephone number. At that time, he was still spraying and we had to leave. Plus I thought in one time, the pest problem will be fine. I didn’t think about getting his number so I couldn’t contact him. I just contacted Terminix and the miscommunication was on their part. Nobody knows what they’re doing. We got rid of the fleas eventually but we spent a lot of money. We bought spray and all kinds of things because Terminix had no time to come. They said that they were all busy.

She tells me what we could do to improve or reduce the possibility of recurring insects like cleaning the gutters. I kinda stay out of her way and let her do her work. She asks if there’s anything needs to be done. She sprays and she knocks down outdoor spiderwebs and she puts traps down in the garage.

Mulch and grass covered them up, and they forgot the tool that would check underground, so new ones were put in.

    In the beginning, my experience with Terminix was rocky. Before my first appointment, I never got a confirmation and I didn’t know if anyone was coming. I got an email saying that they would call to cancel my appointment but I never heard of them, so I was surprised when someone just showed up at my house. On top of that, he did not communicate at all about what kind of bugs he found and what the treatment plan was gonna be. He just told me he was gonna spray the baseboards in all the rooms, go outside and do a spray, then that would be it. He washed after that so I thought everything was taken care of but it was not.

    We have German roaches and now I know that they are a little harder to take care of than normal. I had to keep calling back and eventually, the manager came out. His name was Chris and he was very proactive. He attacked the problem head-on but it was not communicated that the problem would take months to fix. I was under the impression that once the treatment was done, they'd slowly die off and I'd stop seeing them.

    So the communication lacked a little bit in the beginning but it's better now and I'm very happy. And while the pests are still there, it's decreasing. Other than that, one guy always came out in the past. His name was Josh and he was very friendly. I always knew when he was on his way and it was cool being able to track where he was. He was very good at communicating with me and he also let me know exactly what he was doing. He let me stand over him and show him where the problem areas were.

    I called Terminix to take care of a small cockroach problem in my home. I was told over the phone that their service was 100% guaranteed. I was also told that the service tech would conduct a 'flush and vacuum' to help exterminate the pests. The technician came to my home and did not complete a flush and vacuum but put bait around the home and sprayed the home. I assumed that the tech knew best about the business of extermination. I was told to wait two weeks to call again if I continued to see the pests. I continued to see pest, called, and the same tech came. Two weeks later, I still saw the occasional cockroach, called again and a different tech came.

    At this point, it was discovered that the refrigerator had never been baited. This is, apparently, a favorite place for cockroaches to nest and breed. I felt this was poor service of the first tech. This should have been done from the beginning. Since it was not, the cockroach problem continued, and possibly worsened. I called to request a refund as I was not satisfied at all. Receiving a refund is very difficult however. The central office requires that the local office issue all refunds. The local manager did not return calls.

    Finally, he called and agreed to refund my money. It has been more than a month and the refund has not been issued. I called the central office only to be told that I have to try to communicate again with the unreliable and now untrustworthy branch manager. The service is poor and the guarantee is not true.

    We pay Terminix monthly but they don't come out monthly. And they come when we're not home because they just treat the outside. I get a text message before their tech comes out and everybody has been fine on the phone and easy to work with. If there was ever a problem, we'd call them. When we had ants that were coming in, they came out and re-sprayed that side of the house. Before we had Terminix, we were with somebody who was more local but they bought that company and we were kinda disappointed because we like supporting the local businesses while Terminix is a big chain. But they do a good job and it didn't make us go and look for something else.

    Terminix comes about every few months and as far as I know, I don’t have any bugs. At first, I had carpenter ants and now, they come mainly for spiders and house ants. Their techs are very kind and give me a chance to get my two dogs in so that they can do their work in peace. I appreciate that they always manage to shut the gates when they are finished so that the dogs don’t get out. I've been very satisfied with their service and I would recommend them highly.

    I've have been using Terminix for several years now. I’m on a quarterly schedule with them and I don't have any pests anymore since they’ve come to service. However, they’ve sent a different technician this last time so I’m unhappy. I like the guy that I had.

    Terminix came about a week and a half ago, checked outside, and charged me $105. The reason they were doing that in the summer is because of the bees, which I don’t know why they came out to do it now to check when obviously there are no bees. I was a little bit upset because we got $105 taken out of our account without me realizing it.

    They come out every three months until I call to cancel it. I'm also on another contract to where I'm paying over $2,100 for two years for them to come and check pest controls because we had squirrels in the attic. When I signed that in February, our understanding was they were gonna come every three months and walk through the house to make sure we had no critters up there again. But they have not done that one time and I'm paying $125 a month for absolutely no reason. I feel like I wasn’t getting the service that I signed up for.

    Now, we also had them come out for termites. They laid these little boxes all over the house. They’ve not been out again, and they said they don’t come out again for those. They just did their one-time service and that’s it. But the rep set up an appointment for Terminix to come out next week to replace the box on the ground that the lawnmower ran over. Then she’d have the guy look around. He'll look at these boxes to see if we have termites in the house too.

    Terminix got rid of the bees. The wasps were bad and we didn’t see any at the end of the year. They also got rid of the squirrels. They were really good. But where they put the closet, it looked gaudy. Even the neighbors said that they thought a dead animal was hanging out of it because of the way Terminix closed it up. It just looked bad. They could have done a better job at it. But as long as there are no squirrels up there, I really don’t care.

    I had a very friendly and efficient Terminix tech out here for their quarterly pest control treatment, and as with everything that they do, the experience was fine. They scheduled the service and I had no problem with what they had set. But when I do, I just call the number and reschedule it. Pests have been pretty much nonexistent around our home since we had Terminix. Occasionally, I would see a bug, but it's usually nothing.

    When I rented this house in 2014, I called Terminix because they were at our house previously in a different city. I’ve had them for years mostly for maintenance although we did some carpenter ants this year. The technicians that come out have been fine. They spray and do what they do. With their service, I rarely have any pest activity in the house. However, they’re getting really expensive and I wish they quit raising prices. Other than that, Terminix is great.

    The first time I called Terminix was for spiders and their tech sprayed everything for spiders. The second time he came out was in the fall. It was all those stink bugs and he sprayed again. Then, this last time was for mice and he set out traps all over. The tech was a really nice guy. He was very professional and very good. He always asked, "Have you seen any of this or any of this?" and asked what kind of traps I wanted to be used for the mice or if I wanted poison. I was glad he didn't stick all poison because I didn't want them dying all over in the house. We haven't seen any mice that we haven't got any in the traps in a long time so he must have got them all. He even walked around the perimeter of the house outside and sprayed. If you have a problem with something, call Terminix. They did a good job.

    Terminix usually comes out to spray for fleas and get rid of rats. I normally call or text them to schedule a service and their reps are good. They're courteous, timely, and they try to answer my questions. The techs let me know or ask me what problems I’m having and if they don’t have the product to put out, they say they’ll be back.

    But the last time, I got a phone call that said they weren’t gonna come out and they forgot. They said they got stuck in another place and told me that they would be at my house at a certain time. So, I made my appointment later in the afternoon because of how I work. I do not get off until 3 o’clock and sometimes it’s 3:30, so I made it later than that. They said they were gonna come at 3:30 and I left my work just to be at home in time for them to be there. But until 5:30, I sat there and I waited and I never heard from them. So I called the guy and that was when he said that he got caught up somewhere else and it was gonna be another 30 minutes till he could get there. But I had to make another time for that appointment because I really had something to do that day.

    So we made it for a different day. It was on a Saturday and it was supposed to be only that morning. But 12:30 came around and I still had not heard from him. He called me about 1 o’clock and he was again caught up in another house and couldn’t make it. This is the person that comes and does all the way around the house. He came that day but it was later than he was supposed to be there.

    We got bedbug treatment done from them 6 months back. But they were never able to help us get rid of them. They treated our place 4 times over a period. Every time they had different reasons for failing. Every time they had different requirements (1st without any specific requirements, 2nd - throw away your beds, 3rd - remove carpet, 4th remove carpet, and now they are telling to remove the wooden frame below carpet which no vendor does. Not even the carpet company. And now we have again to pay almost $2000 to other vendor for treatment to get done.

    Because these people are not able to do the treatment till now and now they even refuse to do it. And they don't even refund for not being able to solve the problem. Please don't go with them. It is complete waste of money as well as time because every time you spend time preparing for treatment and also following up with them. I wish I could give them negative star rating which would take away their average rating. Even the manager over there is so rude and doesn't have any sense to talk. We spent too much time and energy before we finally give up on them now. I would really suggest you all to find another vendor who at least has sense of talking and understanding problem rather than just avoiding it.

    I called Terminix to de-web and for rodent control. When I signed up, their reps came out the same week and did what they had to do. There was one individual who came out and explained everything. He was really good in giving a detailed description of what he was gonna do and what he did. He was very knowledgeable. They were gonna put some chemical down to prevent from ticks, termites, other insects, and parasites, and I was told by the salesperson that when they sprayed whatever foundation they put down, you could see it's gonna be looking like little grains of soap on the floor.

    But when I went to look, I didn't see anything. My father that was living with us at the time said that the guy who came out just ran through there really fast and didn't really cover much ground. Then, when I looked at the ceiling from the outside, the de-webbing was not properly done. I had done a better job on my room, so I had to call them to come out again.

    Another guy came out and I wasn't satisfied with the service that he provided. He kept on coming over to check the traps that they set and because I wasn't there, he said that he wasn't gonna enter and check. But there were constant people at the house. And when I finally looked to see where he set the traps, he set them in the attic space where it was completely clean. He didn't set them up where there may have been rodents and it kinda looked like he just put the traps down right by the door of the closet and didn't even walk in. And it wasn't even on the side where we heard possibly rodents scratching a little bit. It was on the opposite side. And the thing is, when you go into that crawl space where he didn't put traps, you can literally see the little droppings. So he was lying.

    He also put the traps on the garage side where there's absolutely no insulation. He should have put them in the side where we told them that there were rodents and in the area where there's a lot of debris but with the insulation. So, when I told him to come back out again, he did and said that there were no rodents. But when I went to the area where they set up the traps for the rodents, he didn't put anything on the traps. There was no food or anything like that. So, I grabbed dog food and put it on the traps. Seconds later, I caught a rodent. Then I set it up again and I caught five. That was in a matter of days and obviously, the tech didn't do anything to catch anything. I called him again but he told me that he was in another town, so he would come back at a later time. But that later time never came around.

    So I was not happy at all and in the end, I cancelled everything and I no longer want the services. My experience with Terminix was insane and I have never gotten some type of service like that where it was ridiculous in nature. Then, when I contacted them again so I could get a 100% refund, I got transferred over to the manager who was in charge of that, then I was sent to voicemail and no one ever returned my calls.

    The technicians that Terminix sent out the last time I was having a flea treatment in my house were all right. I asked them to spray every room as a precaution, even if they don’t notice anything, because these things hide sometimes and if you spray every room, they have nowhere to hide. They said okay but when I saw the bill, it said no evidence of fleas and that they only sprayed a certain spot.

    Also, scheduling for a service with them was always tough. We had an issue and I didn’t want a certain driver to service my apartment but they said they had nobody else. They scheduled him to come and when I got home from work, I waited but nobody came. I called and asked what happened and they said somebody cancelled and he thought it was me so he didn’t show up here. That can’t be an excuse for a business. They should know who the person is. They can't just assume that it was me. If you cancelled somebody, you should have the information where not to go. Furthermore, when I called their customer service to explain why I didn’t want this particular driver at my house, the rep got upset at me. I called the supervisor and her supervisor was supposed to call me but never did. I called back again and another supervisor called. Right now, I probably won’t use their service again.

    Terminix has good service. They come to our house on schedule every so many months. They were very thoughtful and considerate. When I could not make it at the time that was scheduled, the technician made it at my convenience. He was on time put on his little booties and went to work. He did what he was supposed to do, got it all done and left. However, the cost went up by $6. Being a one owner household, I get in a bind and $6 here and there can mean a lot.

Then, many times, when we were out of town and without email, I would get to a place where I can check my email and they would say they were coming that day. One time, without any email or even a call, a Terminix guy showed up at the door. It was a new guy who had no idea that I had a dog in the backyard that would bite him. I wasn’t very happy with those times and that happens a lot. Lately, they seem to wanna just do the outside. We were gone for a month and then when we came back, the tech came and I told him that he could just do the outside that time. Within that month, all of a sudden, we had a whole bunch of roaches in the house. That was the first time that it happened in the 30 years that we've had their service.

    My experience with Terminix has been good but it has been very frustrating to keep appointments with them with our annual because of our work schedule. The only time I dealt with them was during our annual renewal time and the annual inspection. They have a tendency to schedule a visit without asking, and then change the time of that visit, and call on short notice and tell us when they’re coming. They are not organized, and they do not consider the consumer in the scheduling.

    Also, the last time the technician came out, I mentioned about the problems with scheduling because they need to come in the house, and how much the treatment cost. He let me know that someone should have told me that there was a new program that they could put out traps outside and that the technician would only check the traps, and nothing else would be necessary unless there was a problem with the traps, and it would have saved me a considerable amount of money. No one told me that until the technician came out. Despite that, the technicians have been great. Earlier on, we had some issues and Terminix took care of that. They’ve treated and re-treated. They came out and did some repairs. I’ve seen a difference because we’ve had no more issues.

    When I started with Terminix, I was okay and happy. I was a satisfied customer. They were very responsive and it was very easy to get through to them. It was easy to talk to them the first time into scheduling appointment and it was very simple. After that, I don’t know what started happening with them and it seemed like every phone call after another, there was one problem after another. It was difficult to get through to someone and then I got tossed around like a basketball trying to figure out who I was speaking to. They wouldn’t return my calls. I had to keep calling back. My calls would get disconnected. I would be told to call someone else. When I did call, it was always like a constant problem. I became a problem to Terminix instead of being happy with my pest control services. And then they kept sending all these different people out to do the house.

    There were about two of technicians that really knew their job very well though. They were very professional and knowledgeable. They knew what they were doing. But then the others that they sent out were very unprofessional. They were in a hurry and wanted to get out of there like they had to get to their next job when I had a question for them or when I showed them what I wanted done. They also destroyed things like they would step on my gutters. One broke my gutter and one broke my flower bed. I would ask them not to do things and they would get upset or they would tell me, “I know my job. I’ve been doing this for a long time, ma’am.”

    They started to mouth off with me and there was no room for that. I said I’d just put a stop to it. I got tired of it because I kept requesting after that for them to send out a certain individual who was very good on his job. Then finally when they had a supervisor contact me, at that time, my phone was broken. When I did call him back, I never got a response back from him either. They were getting very unprofessional in their job and I didn’t like it. Terminix is unreliable. They’re not constant and a lot of times inefficient in what they do. I was not a happy camper.

This has been going on for at least three years now and they'd say they'd cut it down but after they'd cut it down a dollar or two, I'd get a postcard that says my bill's gonna be $5 more. I’ve checked prices in Cabot with some of the bug spray and they’re cheaper. But I like Keaton and if he's still my bug-man and he’s doing good, then I’ll stay with him. So, if it wasn’t for the technician I’ve got, I would’ve left Terminix a long time ago.

    Keaton is always very friendly and very nice. Terminix is also always good about scheduling the services. They’ll call at once and schedule, and Keaton is always on time. I have no qualms about him at all. In fact, he hurt his hand and when he had his surgery, they took him off this route and put somebody else out here. That guy hardly sprayed and it was like he wasn’t even here. So I told Terminix that if they wanted to keep a customer, they should put Keaton back on this route or I would get somebody else. So, Keaton is still my technician. He told me that if I had any problems, I should call him and he would come back. I’ve had to a couple of times and he came right back with no questions asked. He’d show me the spiders or whatever he got and he’s very knowledgeable.

    Terminix came out to our home recently for a routine spray. Their technician knocked on the door, told me he was there and sprayed. If I had any areas I needed him to look at even further, they sent him. We had to schedule a few extra times for them to come out because of spiders and ants getting into the house, and every time we did that, they came and did a good job.

    I had another company that came around and did pest control. They would take care of everything but they were a bit expensive, so a couple of years ago, we stopped them and never got back on it. When Terminix came by, they said that if I do the first time treatment with them, I could get a discount and get the termite and pest control. I thought I was getting a great deal and that it was for the house as well, but it wasn’t. I went for the cheap deal and got confused.

    We have termites on the fence so they're not part of the house which is what Terminix guaranteed. We have rats under the pool which are also not related to the house. We also got bugs all over the inside of the house and they were saying they were treating for pest around. But the guy just sprayed outside and we still have bugs, rats and termites. They did a crappy job.

    Nevertheless, everybody at Terminix was nice and the techs were great and sweet. I just don’t get what they were saying. And with Terminix, there's always another guy unlike before when I had just one guy who comes out every couple of months. I never had to pay attention to bugs or who was coming then. He just did his thing. I should have just stayed with my previous pest control company. If anyone would ask about Terminix, I would tell them to read the fine print because I didn't so didn’t know exactly what I was getting. I wouldn’t recommend them again.

    I used to have Terminix for many years in the past. I used to fumigate every month and I've never had any roaches. They used to provide good service but the accounting department misplaced some checks so I stopped using them. And then, all of a sudden, I called them back and I've been with them for the last year. Terminix is very flexible with the schedule. They would give me a call when scheduling for a service and sometimes, if I'm not available for that day, we could schedule it any day or they would tell me what day they'd be in the area. We work really well as a team.

    Their technician has great communication, not only with me but with my parents who are Spanish speakers. The tech speaks Spanish well, gets along great with my parents and provides a good service inside the store. He sprays the entrance and the rear door. Since using their service, the pest activity has improved a lot. We have almost gotten zero roaches here. And although there's still a little bit left that we need to work on, he's pretty flexible. We switch around between bait, fumigation, and try different methods that could improve everything here in the store.

    We had an issue with bed bugs and at first, I was bewildered. I didn’t quite know which way to go. I’m renting the house out to a family member and I was living 350 miles away. But with her being a family member and a tenant, I had to do something right away unfortunately. So I surveyed my options and looked on the internet. I thought Terminix was a familiar name and a big enough company that has a significant footprint. So after getting some estimates from smaller companies that settled off the Philadelphia area, I decided to go ahead and try Terminix. They came on over and gave an estimate, and I was really amazed at how expensive things were. The fact was that with bed bugs, you don’t just go in and spray once. After I was revived from fainting after hearing the price, I went on, bit the bullet and had Terminix do their magic.

    I had three days if I wanted to cancel that contract or not and I remembered that in the conversations I had with their office, they offered a 10% discount for senior citizens. So I called back the following day and asked them to rewrite the contract because I wanted the 10% discount because it was significant. It would have been around $200. But the person I talked to was an underling and she didn't appear to listen to me as well as I thought she should have. She couldn't get ahold of or put me in touch with the right person. But I had three days before I was really bound to the contract. So then I called the headquarters. I skipped everybody and went right to the CEO. The CEO put me in contact with this group that represents them and of course, she was the right person to talk to. She so smoothly and immediately got it taken care of.

    Everything worked out great. They certainly knew what they were doing. They must have had to come back four different times before they completed the job. I imagined that getting rid of those pests was much more difficult than some others. But they did a wonderful job and they seem to have eradicated the problem. The only drawback with Terminix is once I signed on to them, I've been getting an email from them every day and a half just to let me know that they're still alive and to reel me into something else. Nonetheless, I'm very happy with them and if I were to need them again, I wouldn’t hesitate in calling them. I would tell others to go to Terminix too.

    It's been a good experience with Terminix. I get an email notification from them two weeks before the day of the service and then, I get an email notification that the tech's en route. He also usually calls a day or two days before to let us know he's coming and to confirm. He shows up, does his service, and then leaves. Most of the time, he just does an exterior service. He also asks if we're having any issues and if we have, he'll walk around the house and identify them or do some treatments. I like Terminix's service.

She was rude and hung up on me when I was trying to explain why I canceled my contract. I pretty much paid $200 just for 2 regular visits which was supposed to cover 6 visits. What a ripoff. They won’t tell you that the last two weeks of the 3rd month is transferred to the next payment 'cause I was paying every 3 months. Plus, they won’t spray in certain areas where it’s needed. Yes, they did get rid of some pests, but not all, and they promised that they would get rid of all of them. DON’T trust Terminix... they will get you like they got me.

    We had both pest and exclusion services from Terminix and they supposedly sealed up the house. A week later, we had a dead rat underneath the house. They put down traps. I had put down traps before and been catching rodents under the house. I called and told them about it, and said that I wanted them to come and look at it, and nobody ever showed up. So I got down, cleaned it up, and reset the traps. I called and asked them what was going on and how come I can’t get anybody here. All I got was an answering machine with the four people who worked on the house. Each one had a specialty and one was an area supervisor. The answering machine on one of them said it’s totally full and can’t take any more messages.

    Then there was another dead rat. I made another call, and that was around October 1st. I cleaned up the problem, got rid of the rat, and reset the traps again. I called everybody and left messages but nobody returned my call. We had to go away for three weeks on vacation. When we got back, I looked under the house, and sure enough, it caught two more rats. I’m not convinced that they were trapped inside. There has to be an access point so the exclusion isn’t working.

    I called Terminix on Thursday and on Friday, but no response from the four people that I called. This morning, I called the office and figured the weekend was gonna be dead. They told me that they can’t get someone out here for a week and a half. It was ridiculous. When their guys came and sold me the program, they said that if I have a problem, they'll be there right away and take care of it. But no one has shown up since before October. I told the rep that I need someone here and that I’m not cleaning it up anymore. They took over $2,000 to do this, and I’m doing all the work. She said that she was sorry but they just don’t have anyone available.

    When the original service was done, I was promised a person would be on a certain day, and they didn’t make it. Then they would follow up a couple of days later. I didn’t frankly see how they could seal the whole house in less than four hours. They weren’t good and didn’t do it well enough. They didn’t spend enough time. The old contract I signed said 100% satisfaction, and I have not gotten 10% satisfaction so far. I’m still waiting for someone to do this.

    In July of 2017 I contacted Terminix concerning a ant problem I was having at my home. I had advised them that I had an exterminator for 30 years but he was unable to take care of the ant and spider problem. They assured me that they could take care of it and I was in good hands. The technician came out a very pleasant and professional gentleman and worked very hard to try to take care of my problem to no avail. I learned they are called crazy ants and some info about them. As the ant problem got worse and worse instead of any better. I was finally able to get the district manager to come and take a look at the situation. He advised he had never seen an ant problem that severe. I was advised that there was a pesticide that they were waiting on approval for to try to combat the situation.

    After calling the 1-800 number religiously asking begging anyone that would listen to me what the name of the chemical was. Who was I waiting on approval from and if we had any timeline when we could get it as the ants were in the bed with me at that point. I never have received that information if that's even a fact that it was ever in the works but I kept waiting and calling. I was finally advised that a supervisor suggested that I cancel my contract as they could not help me. Finally to be advised that they could not take care of my ant problem and that it would be best for me to go ahead and cancel my contract and call the County Extension Office although I received letters and a phone call of my payment being late after them canceling it. (Which was never late).

    I requested a full refund of all monies sent to Terminix for this pest control or for them to please take care of the ant situation which I hired them for in the very beginning. The district manager advised that he would not give me a full refund - that he would give me the last quarter refund which I have not received either. I have called Terminix's customer service numerous times and left numerous messages and although they try to be very helpful I still have not received a call, email, text, or letter from Terminix's regional office. Their one hundred percent guarantee is untrue.

The previous technician I had was excellent in doing the treatment. He explained things as to what he was doing, why, and kinda looking out ahead at what I might be facing. But for whatever reason they changed. I hope they could send my old technician back. But the new tech is also fine.

    Terminix comes out and sprays for bugs when I call. They recently sent me an email and they came out when they said they would. The technician was friendly enough. He sprayed inside and outside of the house, and it looked good to me. I had a little pest activity and since he sprayed, I haven't seen any anymore. I've talked to a few people who had some bad experiences with AHS, but I haven't had any and I'm satisfied with them.

    We have a lot of fire ants in the summertime and we try to keep them down. Terminix has taken care of some problems I’ve had with ants. Dale, our tech, had to go around and check all of the hills and he did a good job of coming and taking care of that. He knew what to do about the ants. The first guy that came didn’t know what to do about it, but Dale knew he had to go through the trees to treat it. It was in both of our houses, over there on Walker South, that were affected, and he got them out. They were everywhere. They were causing my renters heartaches and Dale went in and killed them, and took away the source.

    Dale has been a good friend. He comes by and calls me and asks me ahead of time if I have any problems inside or outside. And usually, I tell him and it goes from there. One time I had some bugs in my pantry, he came and sprayed the bugs and we got rid of them. He's a good guy and he takes his job seriously and takes care of my houses. He has done a good job of keeping up the whole of it. The only bad experience I had with Terminix was I pay every three months and they kept going up on it. I have three different contracts for three different houses. Dale said he will take care of it and get it down to $30 per house a month again. I told him that if he could do that, I will stay with Terminix. Sure enough, he did.

    I would first like to begin saying that our sales rep, was very nice and "accommodating" when we inquired for service (over a year ago). By accommodating, I mean that we were given misinformation. Unfortunately, it was verbal and there was no phone or paper trail to confirm this, so the company has sided with the sales rep, and for doing so is receiving this terrible review that I hope others will read and consider when choosing a pest control company. My husband and I signed up for preventative termite service over a year ago on a home we bought and knew we would only be spending a couple years in. The sales rep "assured" us that we could take the termite service with us to the new home (or transfer it to the new owner of the current home). He also sold us on going ahead and renewing in advance for 5 years in order to save a little bit of money in the long run.

    The ONLY reason we agreed to this is because we would be "able to take the service with us to our new home" in the upcoming year or two, which was already planned and discussed with the rep in advance. Let me ask anyone reading this... Why would we agree to paying 5 years in advance for a service we would not be able to bring with us to the new home? Can anyone answer me that? Why would Terminix think that it is OKAY for us to still be paying for a service for the previous address that has a new owner?

    So here we stand, after paying over $6,000 to Terminix, unable to (A.) get out of or cancel our service with them, and (B.) unable to have the service transferred to our new home that is less than 15 miles away. Our answer that was just given to me, was to go ahead and cancel the service (pay for the old service in full to wash it clear) and then go ahead and set up a new service for our new address. The manager was also "sorry they would lose our business." People, for anyone looking to set up a pest control service, please do not even consider Terminix. We have since been with a smaller company that is leaps and bounds better, more attentive to detail, and works under a much higher level of customer service. And I would be happy to share that contact with anyone that is interested in a great referral in Tampa Bay.

    Got them to come out and spray for termites. They will not quit calling to sell warranty. Have told them repeatedly to not call but they still call several times a week. Work was good but I don't like the annoying calls that won't stop.
