We started with Terminix 20 years ago in Florida for termite protection, and they've been really good. They come quarterly, or if I need them, they will come on a call. Since the beginning, all the technicians have been wonderful, friendly and helpful. The pest activity in our home has been nonexistent since their service. However, they send their bills out way too soon and they're always trying to get me to pay in advance. It's not really a problem and some people like it, but I don’t. Still, we've been satisfied with them.

For the two years that I’ve been using Terminix, they did well on some things and not on other things. I use them to get rid of fleas, and I haven’t had a flea since they’ve been spraying. They come regularly and they’ve been coming on their own about every two months. The technician is good and he does his job.

We have monthly service with Terminix. We started about a year ago on the monthly pest control because of the little bugs and stuff inside the church. Our church is not open through the week as far as 8:00 to 5:00 and when the technician comes out, he doesn’t call us or anything. He just services the outside. We’ve had Terminix for termites for a while, but also last year we found out that even though they were coming out inspecting for termites, we have termites on the inside. But we have nobody to actually stay down at the church until the technician comes.

Terminix wanted to spray, so they came out. Todd, the tech,was a good and cool guy. He was also pretty knowledgeable. But once he left, some more ants were there the next day. I called Terminix back and Todd came back out again. He said that he could try to make it in one day but I wasn't there when he arrived and I missed him. But initially, he came back on the scheduled appointment time and my wife wasn't there. But he went out and did some other things around the house, so it was okay. So far, the ants are still in and it's kind of frustrating because every time I call Terminix, there's a two or three-day wait. I wouldn't recommend them to anybody else. I want to quit my services as well though I don't think I can. But after this contract, I will no longer be with Terminix.

I was having some work done to finish some spaces in my house. I wanted to have a service to kinda spray before I close stuff in. I went to Terminix online, requested an appointment and somebody called me. One of their guys came out to review what I wanted to do and everything was fine.

Terminix has been coming out regularly once a month for at least 2 years now. They do routine maintenance. The technician does his whole thing outside and then asks if there's anything going on inside, and usually there's not. He was here Thursday or Friday and it was fun! He's doing great! He's doing his job and we're happy. We don't have bugs and we're satisfied with the service.

We bought our new home and we needed some service. We chose Terminix and we have service from them every three months. When the technician comes out, she's very courteous. She also does what she's supposed to do. Since our service with Terminix, the pest activity in our home has been a whole much better. But sometimes, the chemicals they use are not as effective as I hope it would. From time to time, I see these little bugs, so Terminix techs had to come back. And when they do, they recheck and do what they need to do. I would suggest them to others.

There seems to be a huge gap between Customer Service and local branches. I received a notice that my account was delinquent and "suspended" for non-pay. I called the Manager at the branch to discuss immediately. Left a voicemail message indicating that my account could not be delinquent as it was on "auto-pay" to my AMEX. When I called Customer Service they said that my account was cancelled by the Manager back in July of 2018. I did have a conversation with him but we did not leave the call with cancelling my contract.
I called again today and advised that I had not had service in over two months and that I had not cancelled my contract and that there was a service interruption. I asked for an accommodation to the billing since this was not my error. I also asked for a price for a 2019 renewal and was provided a lower fee. When the CSR called the branch office she was told that no accommodation could be made because the local branch did not have internet service. She said I could wait to hear from someone or just "cancel the contract".
I have only had service for a year and during this time had over 4 different technicians due to turn-over. Additionally, I was advised by a technician that I had to pay for service between my quarterly visits while I still had pests. The CSR said this was inaccurate information. I have tried to continue service to no avail. Terminix is very difficult to do business with in my opinion.

I had ants inside my weep hole and they had crept into my home. I called Terminix and since Terminix came out, I didn’t have ants anymore. I’ve been with Terminix about two years now and I’m on a routine schedule with them. This past year, I called them out four times in between because I might have seen a spider and wanted to get it sprayed again. Their service is going fine. However, I had a problem with the new guy who had started to come during the summer. At that time, he wasn’t very professional. I didn’t like the interaction between us and I didn’t like the fact that he was calling me ‘Bud’. I wrote a little report up. I sent an email back to him voicing my concerns about it. After that, it seemed like it was taken care of because the interaction between us now is totally different. So, it’s okay now. Other than that, everything is fine with Terminix. I appreciate what they do and I’m very happy with it.

Terminix is very good. I have a yearly thing with them where they come out and check for termites, and they let me know about the schedule by phone or mail. Their reps do the right thing and the techs who come out look and crawl all over the place. They come and really do their own thing. I just follow and watch them. And so far, I don't have termites.

Terminix comes out for an annual termite inspection. I'll give them information and they would forget all that so, it seems like every year, I have to start all over again. And at the very least, I have to reschedule with them when I won't be there. Then once I get an inspection schedule, the first people that I've worked with have been satisfactory.

Terminix gives you your money’s worth and their service works well. I've had their pest control for about 6 years now and I've only had a few interactions with their reps because most of them have accomplished what I needed to accomplish. There have been different technicians and some of them have been what I consider good. However, there was one time some of them have ignored what I told them, which didn’t make me happy. So, I'm satisfied with their service most of the time because I'm still taking it. There are fewer scorpions now and I'm happy about that. I knew from the get-go that they would likely not get rid of them 100%, but they’ve been cut down tremendously. I would recommend Terminix.

I use Terminix for termites. I've been using their services since 1996 and they come out for year-end inspections. They did a spray that's supposed to last and kill everything out. They just come back each year to see if there is any termite activity. I get an email in the evening telling me that they made an appointment and that technicians are gonna be here the next day. But a lot of times, my schedule doesn’t reflect that so they need to improve their customer service in making their appointments. Also, their technicians have been very young and questionably experienced for the last couple of years. They've been polite, though.

I live out in the country, and Terminix came out because of the bugs and the rats. They come out ever three months, and they tell me when it is time for a service. The tech who comes is very nice and accommodating. The job he does is very good. As far as bugs, I don't really have much of that anymore. They seem to take care of the rats when I do have that problem. But, the rats and the mice come every year, and we are not getting rid of them permanently.
Also, the bill goes up and up, but I can call and get it back down to a certain amount -- I am a senior citizen. So, I do like that part. I told the technician, "You know what, I guess I'm gonna just have to quit. I just can't afford more than $80." He said, "Well, let me call, and I'll get it down for you." And, so, he did. Because I had a different technician and I wasn't home when the technician came when they billed me, I called him and told him, and they downed it. If they are gonna give me the discount, they should just do it. They don't just automatically give it to me. I shouldn't have to call every month to get it done.
The billing process has changed. It was that I could pay the technician-- because most of the time, I was here as he told me he was coming on a certain day, the night before. But the way they've got the thing set up now, I can't really do that. So they have to bill me, and then I have to pay them. I had a little problem one time when I gave the technician a check, and they had put a new system in. As to how to get the check to the billing department, it wasn't getting done. They called me and they wanted me to pay for it right away. I said that I've written the check, and I'm not paying for it. Nevertheless, I only had that problem once.

The previous owners of my place signed up with Terminix and I kept it going because of the termite problem. Also, Terminix has a guarantee that if I stay with them, then future treatments and future damage would be covered. I've had their service for 10 years now and I haven't had any termites. Apparently, their treatments are effective. My interactions with the technicians have been favorable. They call me, they schedule, and they're very timely. They come out and look and they are polite.

When we moved into our new home, there were termite ants, the black ones, on the front walk. Our friend did the construction work and he said that we better get it because it could do damage. So I called up Terminix. They came and then they came back a couple of weeks later because it took time for them to kill the ants and they were inside the house as well. The man's name was Anthony and he sprayed the windows in the back and the front where we saw the ants. He also did in the house wherever we saw the ants.
What happened though was that I had paid all the way through November. But last time, he came and said he would see me in February. I called up and they said that the bugs were in hibernation because of the cold. I didn't feel like paying for something like that. I called to cancel it but the woman I spoke with said that I didn't have to. She said I could just not pay for that quarter and that's what I'm doing. My daughter was also afraid that there would termites because the first time that the plank was removed, there were termites there. Anthony told me that it's a different contract but I don’t see anything and if the termites do get to the wood, we're gonna know it.
Anthony was very nice and thorough, and he explained things. You can't get better than having a stranger come to your home, who's gonna fix the problem, and he explains to you what you have. There were also bees on a deck leading into the house where I left the dogs sitting. He told me that these black ants were coming from a tree that's over 100 years old. I've had other people that I didn’t want here. They were here once and I got rid of them. Initially, my Realtor got me someone but this guy was charging me an arm and a leg, and nothing was being done.

They are very inconsiderate. You are afraid to ask for help. They do not return your calls or texts at appropriate times. They did not bring mouse or rat traps with them and try to get your money and then give you really bad service. I am so disappointed. I'm disgusted. I have been very patient. I have wasted days waiting for them and they wouldn't show up. I want a refund and I even don't think they deserved one star. Will hire another company.

I have been working with Terminix for a year now and I had a good experience with a particular gentleman named Juan. He was good and he explained a lot of stuff to me. Some people come and they wanna rush because either they needed to go to their next job or something else, but Juan took the time. When I asked him what a particular bug was, he took the time to tell me that. He also made suggestions and even suggested that I cut my grass and the weed around my house. Sometimes, people are timid and don’t wanna tell the homeowner what they need to do, even though it’s their home, and sometimes, we need to know those things.
I noticed a difference in the pest activity within the inside of my home since the techs started coming out, but outside, there is a bunch of spiders, roaches, and scorpions. I don’t like that if they have other homes that they need to do out in the neighborhood, sometimes, I can't get the services done or it is hard to schedule an appointment outside of my quarterly service. If I’m trying to get them to come because I’m seeing an activity, sometimes it’s hard to get the extra additional service. I can call and have them come in anytime, but that is not always the case. Nonetheless, I’ll tell my friends to give Terminix a try.

We were doing preventative care, but we had a big issue in our house with spiders. We were with a Colorado local pest service before but we switched over to Terminix because they were cheaper and they said that they might be able to deal with the spider problem a little better. The first time they came through, they came inside and did all the baseboards in all the bedrooms and around the house whereas my previous pest service didn't because they only did the exteriors. From what I could tell, we've been doing a little better on the spider side with Terminix which is good 'cause I hate spiders. I have a quarterly plan set up with them and overall, they're a pretty decent pest control.

We’ve had Terminix since ’78 and they check the house for termites in the ground. They did the grounds when we first had the house built and they’ve done it every year since then.

Whenever I need something, I would call Terminix up and they would come out and give me a date. If they have to change it, they always let me know. Last time they came out, they removed those dark things they put outside on the side of the home and they gave us some extra ones to use, just in case we would need them. During the winter time, there is more pest activity and my granddaughter says she can hear them like scratching in the walls. But I don’t hear anything. We check them for droppings. Then I would put a trap there. About three months ago, I heard something squeaking in our living room behind the couch. So I looked there and I saw two. So I figured those were babies. They got caught so we're catching some but I know they're not all gone. I know that much because it's an old house.

We've been using Terminix's services for 12 years now. We initially got their services due to the water bugs on the side of our house that were terrible in the fall season.

Over the years, several different technicians have come out to our house and they've always been friendly and have done a good job. We would usually talk about where they were from because they were usually from the Des Moines area and we're ways out.

I had a problem. I went to Terminix because I had mice. I told them I wanna get rid of the mice. They said no problem. But it was a year of spraying for bugs, not mice! I said, "What's this gonna do for the mice?" They said, "Oh, you have a mouse problem? Okay, fine." They put out four traps and that was it. A man came out in January of this year. He actually looked at the exterior of my property. The front and the back. Then he came in and he looked at the walls. He said the problem was that the mice were coming in from next door. He said they do have a treatment for that. They came along and they treated it with caulking and that closed it off. There were no mice after they did that. They were very good. They seemed to know what I was talking about and they handled it very well. The last couple of calls did not go very well because I expected them to treat for the darn mice, and it wasn't happening!
The last thing that I had with them, they said they sprayed the front of my property. But they never called to tell me that they were coming out. They did not leave a note that they had been there. I live in the City of Philadelphia and I live in a row home. My house is 15-foot wide. They said they sprayed the exterior of my property. The only thing they could have sprayed because they wouldn't know was the back of my property. The front of my property is 15 feet. And they charged me $110. I asked them about that and they said they'd get in touch with somebody. I don't know whether they ever did it or not. They never got back to me. What I did was I paid the bill 'cause I wanted to be done with them. I didn't want to have anything to do with them in the future.

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 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.

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.

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 just had a regularly scheduled treatment for exterior insects and rodents. It has reduced the occurrences of insects in the house. It’s done quarterly, so they just text me when they're coming out again. Usually, interactions with the technicians are very good. They're always polite, come to the door and tell me they're there and what they're doing. We're happy with the service that Terminix is providing. They're not the cheapest guys around but they do good work.

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.

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'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.

Terminix's tech came a day early, but I was able to accommodate him. I had a total of $1,200 treatment in August for subterranean and dry wood, and then I found pellets and wings upstairs. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 don’t wanna leave Terminix because they’ve been very good over the past years.

Terminix did an inspection of encapsulation service on our crawl space. They do that once a year. They make the schedule and if we need to change it, we give them a call. The technician was very thorough and efficient. She gave us a full report that everything worked okay, 'cause she had to reset the dehumidifier timer. Pest activity since we started with Terminix has been pretty minimal. Occasionally, we see some wasp, but they take care of them. I can recommend Terminix.

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. We haven't had any issue with termites since we've lived here. So, the treatment that they do, the regimen that they follow for that, has been effective.

We had some bugs initially and Terminix took care of them. Then, about a year ago, I happened to see bugs inside the house and the tech came in and treated them. Rey, Terminix’s tech, waved when he pulled up and about that time, I had to go into the house. I had some stuff I was doing and I saw him out doing his inspection. 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. I’m throwing that money rather than use it. Terminix should not be sending out bills half a year before they’re due.

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 live in a woody area and we have problems with the number of bugs in our house.

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.

We schedule our service calls to Terminix early on for their team to come over on Thursdays and it has worked well.

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.

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.

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 get quarterly visits from Terminix and Ronald, the technician that comes to my home, has been doing it for a few years. He is professional, thoughtful, and gets his work done. So far, the treatment is working but occasionally, I have to call Ronald and have him come spray inside the house. The wife's such a freak when it comes to any kind of bug and when there's lots of rain or it gets really cold, sometimes some get through.

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. I would choose another company.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

When I moved into this property, I had lots of bugs everywhere in the house. When Terminix comes in, the bugs are dead a day or two later. I'm pleased with the service I've been getting from them. I have the standard quarterly service and it gets auto scheduled. Recently I had their service and I had Hopeton as my technician. He worked outside my home. He knew that someone had recently come to seal up some places that mice were getting into my attic. He said that although it's warm now, the bait wasn't touched in the traps but when it gets colder, that's when mice tend to come inside. He said he also wanted to check in the attic when he comes for that winter inspection and spraying. He really knows his bugs and it's almost fun for him.

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.

Scheduled canceled without informing me. I asked if I can speak to the manager, never call me to explain why my appointment was canceled. No one made an effort to resolve my issues. Not a good company. There's many pest control that you can go cheaper and good customer service.

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.

We had ants and mice so we sought for the help of Terminix because I trust them. My parents and sisters have used them. They've come out four times during the year and they’ve always been good to me. They’ve been very polite. The tech had me walk along with him. Since the treatment there had been no ants, no mice and no bugs. It’s been really good. I’m on the road as a truck driver and the tech just did the outside. He said to give him a call if there’s any problems, and next time he’s in, he’ll check the inside.

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. Since we've had them, the pest activity around the house is less.
