Extremely professional. Resolved my matter with the utmost diligence and respect to the situation.
Original Review: June 9, 2017
My experience began on last Monday when I called to get an "Expert" out and they scheduled an appointment. The Technician also serves my neighbors next door. Well they set me an appointment for Wednesday. Wednesday comes around. They didn't show however I did see them at my neighbor's house. The technician calls to reschedule 5 days further out. At which point I was understanding the stuff happens but then they called me a second time to Reschedule again but this time 6 days out. So basically I wasted two weeks waiting on someone who couldn't have the professional courtesy to fulfill their end of the agreement but they sure didn't mind taking my CC info and personal info: normally not one to write bad reviews but when you have pests and children it's kind of a serious thing to a parent. Wouldn't recommend allowing these people or anyone for that matter push you around!!
We’re sorry to hear about your recent experience with Terminix! We value your feedback and would like a chance to resolve any issues. Someone from our local office will be contacting you to help assist with your resolution.

I had a termite contract with another company and they went out of business. I surveyed a bunch of companies and narrowed it down to Terminix because of the price, company name and services. I’ve been with them for 15 years. Scheduling with them was a positive experience. They scheduled an appointment which is an automatic service and it wasn’t a good date, so I talked to somebody and changed it. Sometimes I’ll do the transactions online or I’ll make a direct call. Their representatives and technicians are very thorough, explained any questions I had and were polite and courteous. In my most recent service, their employee came and did his work, was very responsible, checked everything and I was very satisfied. Terminix has been helpful all in all.
Thank you for allowing us to keep your home pest free.

Unfortunately, we contracted bedbugs from somewhere and it was a bit of a nightmare. I Googled Terminix and I got a 1-800 number which I called and they set me up with an evaluation for the same day. The fellow came out and did the evaluation and then gave me his cell phone number and so every time I needed to schedule a reappointment, I was able to do it via text message which made life so much easier.
They treated inside the walls, around all of the baseboards and the bed frames. They would come out and do several different types of chemicals. Then they just repeated treatment as necessary. We started out every two weeks to every three weeks to every four weeks, then it was once a month. We’ve been doing this since last August. It took almost a full nine months to get rid of the bedbugs completely but we’re doing better now. It was challenging but I always felt safe and secure having the Terminix guys in my home. We’re Facebook friends now. That’s how wonderful they were. Everybody has been so pleasant, professional and fantastic. Since our last service, no one has received any new bites.
Thanks for sharing this great experience, Deena!

Terminix has been great so far. We had some issues with the mosquito misting system but today they dropped by and hopefully fixed the issues we had. There has been some miscommunication. I had sent them some emails. I filed some claims and they're being slow to respond. The representative told me that they were moving their offices so I fully understand that.
Thank you for taking the time to share your Terminix experience with others.

It all started December of 2016, with the discovery of a soft spot in the flooring of my two story residential office. With the discovery we made contact with the local Terminix office in Mobile Al. Sure enough, Terminix declared that there was an active infestation and additionally significant damage to the outside wall and floor joists. He then said it would be best that we could close that part of our house off until the repairs have been made. He then made a call to his branch manager to make him aware of the infestation and damages he observed. So far, I am extremely satisfied that this infestation and damages occurred by the termites would be resolved and we would be made whole again.
Beyond this point is where dissatisfaction starts and still undoing. We felt like, we had leprosy outcast. After initial around the middle of January 2017, a Terminix employee completed treatment to kill off the infestation, communication were minimal and at times none. The poor girls answering the phones, they tried to help us, but it wasn't their sympathy we were looking for.
Finally, a subcontractor that Terminix called upon came to visit the damages, and offer a quote and scope of work to the Branch Manager. Then there was no communications for about 4 to 6 weeks. Finally, the branch manager said there was a third party estimator was coming by to review the estimate given by the contractor that Terminix initiated. The estimator then submitted his results back to Terminix, however, a vast difference (not to the good) in repair cost and scope of work.
Somehow, the estimator neglected to add in for floor joists replacements and other items that damages that needed replacement. This single action, difference in the costs and scope of work furthered delays in resolving our plight. This is now March of 2017. Frustrated, we told the Terminix Branch Manager, that we would seek bids for the repairs. Outside contractors not associated with Terminix placed the damages around 40k to 45k. And the scope of work was identical to those that Terminix contractor.
April 2017, my wife made contact with the state of Alabama Department of Agriculture and spoke of our issue. They assigned us a caseworker, that caseworker came to our residence and took our complaint and observed the damages. He then wrote up our complaint and submitted to Terminix his requests for additional treatment and requested from them our treatment and repairs history. He also requested the case history of this complaint. It was then that my wife received a very gruffed call from the Branch Manager, mentioning this action by us contacting the State would slow the response to our claim. And I now believe it to be true.
Still in April, finally it seems a change of heart, Terminix completes the second treatment of an attached substructure and offered a cash settlement. The settlement approximately 25% less than the outside contractors we've contacted, but, we agreed upon the settlement for the less, to simply put this chapter of our lives into the past. We could only figure strategy the whole time. Now it is the Middle of June 2017, that agreed upon cash settlement has yet to be received. Still no contact with the competent persons to resolve our complaint and the poor receptionist are still receiving the tongue lashing from my wife.
Update: Finally the Regional Manager called. My wife was reprimanded for her frustration. Now, I understandably know that my wife tongue can be sharp, as I have had the pleasures of being on the end of her wrath. Unfortunately, he knew nothing of our case and complaints and will have to respond back to us at a later time.
Footnote: You may be wondering where have I interjected on behalf of our complaint. I unfortunately, am a contractor whose employment is in other states where my ability to respond is difficult. My wife is unemployed, semi-retired status and is obtainable for contact. I believe by writing this is more for therapy and unfortunately it is also my belief that this will not be resolved by the two parties, as apparent by the communication deficits.

Terminix recently came out for our routine service. They schedule it and the technician comes over and does the job. And I will leave and he is free to go on. He’s very courteous, professional, does everything on time and he is very good at what he’s doing. Overall, I want our experience to be better but it has already been very good.

There's a disconnect between the local office and the main office or however Terminix is run. They’ll tell you whatever you want to hear on the phone, but as far as the action is concerned there's a big disconnect. Scheduling is a complete nightmare with Terminix. They will send you an email telling you that they are going to come out between 8:00 am and 8:00 pm or whatever date that they choose. If I call them and tell them that I cannot take off work to sit here for 10 hours then they should respond to that. I work for a living so I don’t have the luxury of having nothing at all to do in my life and just to sit and wait for Terminix to come out. I should be taken into consideration.
There was one occasion that happened last year that I wanted to be home because I had insects inside the house that I wanted to try to take care of with Terminix. I called and rescheduled the appointment but they didn’t do that. They came on the day that they sent the email out. That disconnect is disturbing and it seems like Terminix doesn’t care. They should be more sensitive about people’s time. In this day and age, they certainly have the technology that they can use the same computer system between the local office and the main office.
Jim, their tech, was great though. He is very amiable and nice. He explains to me what he's doing and talks to me. He’s knowledgeable and responsive but he doesn’t have much control over anything. Anytime that I call him he refers me to the main office. They're nice enough, it's just that Terminix needs to be a little bit more customer friendly. As far as Terminix is concerned, they provide a mediocre service. I chose Terminix because they have been around for years and I thought that I would get a better service than that. I hope that they improve their service.
Sometimes, it seems that I have more insects than I did before I started getting the service but Terminix has come out and taken care of it. Last year, I had an issue with fleas but I didn’t have any animals. Terminix said that because I have wooden flooring I have to move everything out and have the place tested. They came out and sprayed the house and got rid of it. I like Terminix, Jim is really nice, but I wouldn’t suggest them to anybody else. A friend of mine asked me about Terminix the other day and I told her to go somewhere else.

Terminix seemed to do a good job as far as inspecting the affected areas. They usually call and I get a follow-up email for the scheduling of the annual inspection. Other than just walking around looking and making sure that the property is free of termites, the technician would explain things as far as what problem areas he could see like if you had termites. Since the service, I have no termite activity and minimal other pests like ants, spiders and wasps.
Thanks for sharing this happy news with us! Have a great day, Robert!

Scheduling the service with Terminix has been good, but the latest one that I had to schedule sucked. I'm having a lot of bugs lately and there is no time when I can get somebody out until two weeks from when I scheduled something, but normally it's not like that. However, their customer service was nice and their technicians were always great. But, the pest activity varies since the service with them. I have a lot of centipedes all the time and it usually goes down after they spray, but it never goes away.

We have been with Terminix for several years. They do an annual visit to our place and they contact us when it's time. They give us a heads-up and they call to let us know if they're going to be late and when they would be here. The technicians are very professional, courteous and answer all of our questions. The result of the service they provide is what I expected. Overall, Terminix has an expert staff, does a good job and they mean what they say.

The technician told us to call if we saw any ants after two weeks, and they would come. That was the guarantee. We saw ants and I called. I got a recording and I left my name, number, and message, but I got no return call. A few days later, I called again. And since I had already called once and nothing happened, I wanted to speak to someone in their Rhode Island office but I couldn't do that. I can only speak to someone in Kentucky, Tennessee, or some call center they have, which is absurd. I told them I wanted to speak to someone in the office in Rhode Island, and they told me to call this number. I called the number and it was just another number for someone else at that office. I was quite upset at this point and told them so, and they basically said that I was being too rude and they weren't going to talk to me.
I said I wanted to speak to someone in Rhode Island as that's where I am and that's who did the work, but they couldn't do that, so I just hung up. I was looking for the Better Business Bureau, for Channel 10, or anybody, and finally, the technician called me. He was very pleasant. He told me he heard I was having trouble, but not to worry as he was going to come over. We set a time and date and he showed up, did his job, then told me that if I were to have any more ants after two weeks, he would come back. The technician was a very nice person, but I would never recommend Terminix and would never use them again.

The staff from Terminix came out, took care of everything, and were very nice when they came. But then, I called two weeks ago because we were still seeing ants and the lady said she would have someone call me back. I told her we were leaving for vacation, so she said she would have the person that normally comes to our house call me back if he had a hole in the schedule. I still haven't heard back from them about the schedule to come out and do another service for us. I wish we had a better callback time. The technician, however, was very friendly. He came in and explained everything he was going to do. He showed me where the problem spots were and ways to help prevent in the future. I would recommend them.

We have Terminix on a quarterly maintenance plan. It's pretty easy to schedule the service, they’ve always been flexible to my schedule and they're very accommodating. I simply called in and they gave me a time. I've also never had an issue with the response time. We had an ant issue the last time and the technician was very explicit on what he was doing and what he was looking for. He was also describing the chemicals he was using and described them as safe since we have pets and young kids. The number of ants has decreased considerably after the service was done. We've had a good experience with them and I'm continuing with their service.
We are so happy you had such a great experience!

I have ants in my 10-month old daughter's room. She cannot go on the floor to crawl because there are ants all over. Scheduling the service with Terminix is alright. However, my most recent experience with them was horrible. Their guy came to do the service and didn't knock on the door. I didn't even know if the guy was there. When I went outside, I saw a paper hanging on my doorknob. I don't know how their guy did the pest control since my backyard is all fenced and only my front door is available to him. I think he jumped my fence, did the job and walked away.
And so I called Terminix and told them the issue. They sent somebody else and the guy took the time to do the job right. Every time Terminix go to fumigate the house or do any service, they need to knock on the door to see what's going on. They need to ask if I need them to do the inside and ask what the issue is. They do service quarterly instead of every month so I expect that they do the job right.

Terminix automatically schedules service for me and they let me know when they are going to be coming. And if I need to change the schedule or if I decide that I want them to come inside to spray, then I let them know. It's super easy to change the schedule or the service. I can either call them or log in online. It's also really easy to pay online. There has only been one price increase and it was just a couple of dollars.
Also, our technician Leon is super sweet and always checks if we're home or if we need to change anything. He always tells me when he's done. Since the service, I haven't usually seen bugs outside but I've seen a couple of spiders inside. And so, I need to have them come inside our home to spray next time. I'll suggest Terminix to my friends.
Thank you for being a loyal customer, Buffy!

I've lived here eight years and never had a problem. Four doors down on the other side of the street, there’s a gal who has roaches. My granddaughter lived with her for a couple of months and then came over to my house. I don’t know if she got the roaches here or not ‘cause I’ve never had any before that. I came to Terminix through a guy that did the service at the church I go to. I talked to him, got his card and called because I saw a few roaches. The same guy came out and initially did my service, but the guy that came out last time said that guy is no longer with them and he didn’t use the right stuff. This guy used the right stuff but he said he wouldn’t be my normal guy because he works Palmdale, not Lancaster, so I don’t know who they’re gonna send out when I call them today.
I live in a mobile home and it's all-metal, so I didn’t realize that in between the metal and the walls, there's wood so I could still have termites. They had a guy do an inspection for termites. He checked it all, went under the house and did a really good job. The guys who have been coming out have been good. One came on Friday; the other one came on Monday. They’ve been spraying and told me if I saw one or two, it’d be no problem and it’s been almost a month since they sprayed the last. It needs to be sprayed again before my next time in June because I saw one in the bathroom and I never saw one in there before. They were little babies when I first called them and now this one’s a little bit bigger. They’re getting bigger.
The reps are pleasant and they help me get my house scheduled. They tell me that the guys would call when they’d come. They’ve called or texted to let me know when they’re done with the other job they’re doing. They do really good service and they answer my questions when I talk to them and I’d recommend it to a friend.

When I moved in a year ago, I scheduled Terminix to come before I moved all the furniture in. Then I got signed up on a quarterly check in. Recently during a six-month spray while we did the walk-through and spraying, there was a hornet’s nest outside on the patio so they took care of that. Their rep was the gentleman that had come before so he was familiar. He was very professional, efficient, polite, covered his shoes which I appreciate and was not afraid of my dog. It has been easy, efficient and quick with Terminix. However, I would rather schedule them when I want them, not just an automated pop-up every three months because I’m usually not ready for it.

We've been using Terminix for the past 30 years but a year ago, we had our house encapsulated and from that moment, we have had problems with them for one year. It was a $6,000 project so it wasn't something that was just a fly-by-night. We had a nest of rats that got under our house so the pest control was not working. And before they did the encapsulation, they never bothered to check for anything. We told them there was a smell but they just went ahead and encapsulated underneath the house. We told them we had problems with the smell and they did not want to fix that. Then the last time they were here, they told me that they put some type of fan in there to keep the air circulating. They installed it after we complained over and over but who knows if that means when the fan is turned off the smell will continue.
After several calls, we told them we wanted all of that ripped out, we wanted the ground treated and we wanted new encapsulation. But they didn't do that. Instead, they came out and put a deodorizer during the Christmas holidays. We have a son that's serving in the military and he was coming home but we could not stay in our house. We had to leave for two weeks, go somewhere else and rent a condo for us for the holidays. We spent thousands of dollars that holiday just to have a place to stay.
From all these, they obviously weren't doing their job. They also came out several times and said there's nothing wrong there and that's when we finally got a lawyer. Then somebody came and said there's definitely something under there. We've not had to use them recently but we still retained our lawyer because they did not do things that were supposed to be done. Moreover, two months ago, they told us that they would order the part and never ordered it until we threatened them. We have also written letters and wrote the home office. So we're waiting now for the next thing to fall.
It was absolutely the worst experience. We're so hurt and disappointed. Everything was a disaster so it's not been a good example. And in my opinion, because we paid half down and we have $3,000 to owe, we should not have to pay them one more dime. We will not recommend Terminix ever to anyone and we will never ever trust them again.

I was having problems with ants and I called Terminix. I tried to schedule the service through a recorded thing instead of having to go through a person and it told me that I would have to wait two months to get service. So I ended up talking to a person and I got someone to come out within two days. That was really funny and ridiculous, as far as the scheduling was going.
Then the tech came out in two days which was wonderful. He was on time and very nice. Also, I have dogs and I was worried about them but he was wonderful with the dogs. However, he initially went to my old address because that's what he was given even though when I scheduled the service the Vivint rep told me my current address. So the poor guy drove all the way out to Glendale Heights when I'm in Bensenville which is at least a 10 miles distance and I felt really bad about that. Then I had to call them a second time and a different tech came out. Both of them were very good, though. Their service was great and I haven't seen one ant since the treatment. So I'm real very happy and grateful about that.

They're to put in boxes for the termites and then come back once a month to spray for bugs. They scheduled to have it put in, and that went well, but I haven't heard from them since then. I was going to have the insulation but decided against it. I had an air conditioning unit and heater put in and the company that did the installation at the time beat Terminix's price. Also, my daughter didn't have a great experience with Terminix. She had a question on the pricing and they charged her twice. But our salesman got that corrected.

We bought a new generator and the gel inside it that protects its electronics attracted ants. So, we called Terminix and Ethan came out and sprayed them. He now comes twice a year and we haven’t had a return of the ants. Signing up for the service was easy. Initially, we called them on the phone, they sent us an email and then they called. Ethan always calls before he comes because we have large dogs that go into the yard.
We’ve never had any problems since the service. We live in a granite house, a stone house built in 1901 with a slate roof so there wasn’t any pest activity inside the house. It’s very nice that we’ve never had a return of the ants. And on top of it, when Ethan was here one time, he said, “I smell gas.” And I smelled it too. So they came out and there was a gas leak in the new generator. One of the things had corroded. Ethan has been really wonderful and professional. When he tells he’s going to be here, he’ll call us and say he’s going to be here in half an hour. And if the dogs aren’t there, he hollers, “I’m outside now.” He’s just great and we have a lot of respect for him.
We love when our customers are satisfied! Thanks for sharing this news with us, Andrea! Have a great day!

Extremely poor customer service. Terminix charged my credit card twice for a $1000+ service. My credit card company removed the duplicate and notified Terminix. Three months later Terminix backed out the remaining charge without communicating with me. Then they sent this mess to a collection agency. This will impact my excellent credit rating. During this whole time their system showed I did not owe them anything and I even spoke to the office and they told me I was all set. I filed a claim with the BBB to no avail.

Terminix comes, they spray, go away and I don’t have any ants anymore. I’ve mostly talked to two of them. They’ve been very good, friendly and courteous. It’s a pleasure dealing with them. They always stop when they come and knock on the door and let me know they’re here and ask if there are any problems other than the standard treatment stuff. I usually don’t have any. They’re always good about stopping afterwards and telling me if they found anything unusual. They keep me informed about what they find which I find very reassuring. Usually in the spring, I have a stream of ants. That’s a thing of the past now, fortunately. And they’ve lessened the spider problem. I keep having Terminix come because it’s really made a difference.

We had some pest that was getting to be an infestation situation. We had a little problem with scheduling the service. It was like they scheduled one time and the guy said he had no knowledge of it, and so we had to end up rescheduling. It was a crazy situation, but we worked it out. The technician was great. He was on time. He was personable and he helped tremendously. He really did the work. He moved stuff around. He did what he had to do. Since the service, I haven't really seen too many, but I know that we’re going to have to have a reapply or they're going to have to come again just to make sure. But the problem is slowly going away. We hadn't really seen anymore. Overall, my experience with Terminix was great except for the customer service aspect of it was kind of difficult. so that would take some away but the actual applying of the pesticides and things of that nature part, the actual technician part was great.

Terminix is well-known and I normally go with a brand that's well-known. I have their preventative service and this was my first time with them.

I was having Terminix come to check for rodents quarterly. They have come 2 times so far. This was going fine and the technicians were super nice. They were supposed to call before coming so that I could unlock our gate as we have dogs. They didn't call but luckily we were home when they showed up so it worked out.The last man who came informed us that we have rats living under our house and recommended that we get an estimate on what had to be done to fix it and how much it would cost. I have set up 3 different appointments to do this and they either have cancelled last minute by text or just don't show up... And don't call to say they're not coming. After 3 missed appointments and wasting many hours waiting I called to cancel my contract. I like the technicians but the scheduling was the worst I've dealt with in years.

I am submitting this on behalf of my 91 yr old mother who had a contract with Terminix for years. I am a contractor and have seen termite damage for years despite their frequent inspections. Recently we had to move her into an assisted living facility and put her house up for sale. During this time we had let the contract expire for 3 months, during our home inspection they found termite damage in 16 different places "Really in 3 months". They refused to take any responsibility and offered to discount a new policy.
Prior to her moving out she had a rodent problem. They came out and set a few traps and caught a few. Her home is adjacent to a creek with many trees, these were big tree rats. The tech removed the rats and told her he did an inspection of the attic, and crawl space under the house. I was there the very next day. Opened the attic access and rat droppings fell to the ground, and there was a nest within 10' of the opening. NO WAY HE INSPECTED THE ATTIC. Also the access to get under the house had never been opened, the house had been recently re-stuccoed. The crawl space screen still had stucco on it. This company truly took advantage of an elderly woman. I watch their commercials saying if termites come back they'll make it right. So not true. I do home inspections myself, and work with multiple realtors. I will never recommend their services. Just another giant corporation taking advantage of people.

Terminix came out initially because I suspected that our mirror has termites and that we also have ant problem and some roach concern. Scheduling was fairly easy. I made the call and we made an appointment to meet. They were here on time when they said they would be, came in and did the initial assessment. It was determined that it wasn't really a termite. They gave me their recommendations and they sprayed. That went well. It was more or less ant and they discovered that the installation and stuff in the ceiling were about gone. That's what prompted me to let them put the additional installation in. That went well too.
Also, the technicians explained to me what they could do and some details of how it will work. Everything was fine and that improved a lot, too, because I had seen a couple of mice and since the installations, I haven't seen any more mice and the ant problem has improved greatly. The only thing that I'm a little confused about is that I signed up to pay a monthly fee for the service but I don't understand whether I need to call them if they needed to come back or they come at a scheduled time. But for the one or two times that we met, I have seen the improvements and so far, I'm satisfied.
Thank you for being a loyal customer, Margaret!

We had some ants, some little insects and we got Terminix to come out every three months. I also have another house on another side of town that they come to every three months for rodent control. The only problem was one time we had them, they promised us a free service and after they got done with their service, they ended up charging us which is alright but I said, "Well, you shouldn't have told us it was gonna be free." And then sometimes they act like we don't pay them. The payments not even due yet when they send out the bill but sometimes they call. It's like you're being harassed so that was why we stopped our service here. We kept it at the other house and it's on the same account.
But the technicians have all been fine. Everybody's been real professional and we're pretty much satisfied with the people that come out and do the spray. They're very informative and they do seemingly a good job when they can get in the house. Sometimes no one's home but they leave a note and say that they've been there and couldn't get in and so we sometimes have them come back out. Sometimes we just wait till the next time. Overall, it was a satisfactory experience.

We originally called Terminix because we were having a problem with wasps getting in from our ceiling. Prior to the technician coming out, we had put balms in the ceiling area and we hadn't seen them anymore. So when he came, he wasn't able to locate where the wasps were coming in from. But he put some powder in a hole that he found. We also mentioned that we weren't sure if we had mice, so the technician put about two traps up there as well. Then he sprayed the outside for us. But then we started seeing wasps coming into the window in the living room. Someone from Terminix comes every 90 days, though.
Other than that, the technician was really nice. He did a good job of explaining everything and gave me a CD to go over the way this product works. When I originally scheduled for service, it was done online. But when the technician was here, he said, “It's every 90 days, so put me on calendar and call me to make sure it's a good day.” That was fine for me. So far, we're okay with our service from Terminix. I'll probably need them here soon to do more general extermination work for the ants. We haven't had too many but we've had a few.

In contrast, the guy from that recently came out did a great job. He walked around the house and sprayed everything.

I have been a Terminix customer for several years now. I have had a different kind of grass in a new house, in the same neighborhood. It is St. Augustine as opposed to Bermuda. I noticed that in the course of the year, the quality of the grass has gotten much worse, not necessarily with weeds but it’s losing grass all over the place.
So I asked Terminix to have the technician give me a call and discuss it with me. It was a Thursday two weeks ago and Monday of last week, the technician came by and sprayed the yard. He charged me and had never called me since, so I'm about to drop my service with them. I also had another arrangement with them a while back where it took a while to have a conversation.
They’re not helping the pest activity and I'm very unhappy and dissatisfied on the customer service side of things. I would rather have a service that I can communicate with directly.

Before I got Terminix, I'd spray for bugs at home and work on chemicals, which I hated. My mother-in-law had a pest control service come out and she felt she had less bugs overall. That's when I went to Terminix and asked the kind of plan they got where they just come out automatically. They schedule it through email and they do that every quarter, then the representative would call the day before to tell me that it's scheduled and what time the technician will come. If it's an outside only service, I don't make it a habit of having to be there. And if I want them to come in or if there's something that I want them to knock down, I'll be there to make sure they get the right one or they know where it's at.
Since I've had their service, our pest activity has been way down and they control the insect population. If I have any questions about something, the Terminix technicians seem to always know it. They also know what kind of bug there is and how to kill it. Last time, I had them come in and do the inside as I always do it once a year. They knocked down the wasp nest I had. They do a good job, they get it done, and I have no issues with them.

Terminix comes out every quarter. They call me and then if I can’t be here, I can reschedule it. I call and ask if we can reschedule for this day and date and we have no issues. But I’m usually one of Compton's last or first stops. He's my pest control tech and is always professional, kind and represents Terminix with full respect. Also, he's cheery and you could take him places in which you wouldn't be embarrassed. That's one of the reasons I'm still with them. If it weren't for him, I would be gone. He sent somebody else one time that I didn’t prefer. I just like Compton because I know I can trust him.
If I know he’s coming out and I’m going to run off, I know he’s not going to sit there and do a halfway job. He always comes out and does it professionally. I feel really comfortable about it and if I forget to put my dog in the house, he won’t spray in the back. That’s understandable because he can’t take a chance, that’s the Terminix rule. Once in a blue moon, I might get one slide in but it doesn’t last long. Also, I’ve never had to really call them out in all of the 10 years I’ve been dealing with them.
Terminix has raised my rate without letting me know and then they tell me my rate is going to stay in one setting. They sneak them up a little bit and then I got to sit there, go back and have a discussion with them about it. Also, they want to keep pushing different techs on me that I keep arguing with them and telling them that if they can’t give me Compton, I don’t want to be with them anymore. If Terminix just keeps sending Compton then we have no issues and they’re going to be around after I’m dead or if I even drop dead. There’s a lot of pest control companies in my neighborhood and I see them all the time. I could always walk across the street and ask for a price and what makes them better than Terminix.

When I called to schedule an appointment with Terminix, the reps took my name and address and said, "Well, when are you available so that we can schedule your home?" and they had something available for the day I said. It was nice and easy and the technicians took care of the cockroaches in the house. However, instead of asking where the critters were and spraying on those spots, they should also spray in areas they think the critters can also come out of. They're the technicians. They know where they should spray or where the critters come out more. That’s what we’re paying them for. I can understand that they want to know exactly where we've been seeing them but we should be working together to do it. They come out of the warmer spots like behind the refrigerator or stove. I felt like they should already know these things.
I must have missed one or some spots they didn’t spray. The first guy was waiting for me because I follow him everywhere and make sure he’s spraying where I've seen them before but the truth of the matter is that’s what his job is. He should figure it out, do it, stop freaking asking me and make sure they’re gone. That was aggravating to me, but maybe that’s just their routine. They should get every crevice and every single little corner. Anyway, we found the critters dead, which is good because whatever they did worked, but the technician told me to call and make another appointment for the following week. They came and sprayed again, but I still see a couple of roaches here and there, so I need to have Terminix come at least once more and hope the roaches are gone then. I'm always busy, but if I have a little more time, I’ll call and schedule an appointment.
Overall, they’re very friendly and knowledgeable. They gave us tips on how to keep the cockroaches away and they got the job done. It was a very good experience. What was really nice was you get an e-mail before they come to your home so that you know that they're on their way. They also e-mail you a statement of what day they came, where they sprayed, inside or out, and what it is they did while they were at the home. We can have that record in our file. Also, the price was reasonable. They sent me a coupon and that was nice.

We started with Terminix years ago because we had carpenter ants. As a school teacher, I had the fear of bringing home cockroaches because my students sometimes would have those in their backpack. We have small ants now but they don’t like Dawn dish detergent, so when I spray them down with it, they don’t last long. We don’t see other bugs in the house. If we see any bugs outside, they're usually dead. Since the service, we don’t see any pest activity in the house as far as what that problem was. But we do have those little ants in the spring when it rains. Jeff, our Terminix man said that wasn’t anything unusual. And though we haven't had any termites, they treated for them. One time, we had two but he checked the other day and he said that it looked dry underneath the area where he was looking at and that everything looked okay. He didn’t see anything unusual.
We have the service done monthly and Jeff usually calls or sends a text message and lets us know that they’re coming within three days. He is very friendly and courteous. He does a fantastic job and something that no other Terminix man has ever done. He'll go around our house and then if he sees a tube like on our satellite dish, he would blow stuff down in that to keep the wasps out. He goes around all our window sills too. He's very thorough and we really like him.
We told him that if he ever quits and then if he didn’t send me another man equally as good as he was, I was going to go and hunt him. We had one Terminix man that was more interested in playing with my dogs than he was taking care of my outside. He doesn’t even work for them anymore. But that’s the only bad one we had. The rest of them have been good. When they come in, they're very professional. They always come to the door first before they go start doing their job. I appreciate that and we know who they are.

I was having some ant problems in my home, so I made an appointment for a pest control technician from Terminix to came out and spray pesticide. After a complete inspection of my home, he informed me that I had an active rat infestation in the attic. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, and was horrified that this could be going on above my children's bedrooms. Sensing my fear and complete disgust with the idea of rodents living in my attic, he informed me that he could send a technician from the Terminix Termite & Rat Department out to help asap. But first, I would need to give him a credit card to be charged $1,100 in full. I reluctantly gave him my credit card, knowing that I had to get rid of the rats.
That afternoon a "Termite/Rat Specialist" came out and did his own inspection of the attic. There were NO RATS in my attic!!! He set multiple traps w/ peanut butter, just in case they came out at night, and he returned every three days to check the traps. NO RATS in my attic. I have spoken to the manager of this department, Mr. Roodeley **, and he has informed me that they will not reimburse me for this fraudulent charge. This is consumer fraud!!! I was mislead and sold a service that I did not need. SHAME ON YOU TERMINIX.

We frequently have ants in our backyard that we were trying our hardest to keep out of the house, which is why we have Terminix. Most recently we were seeing black bugs, and we saw two vinegaroons in our house. The tech came in two days later and we haven’t seen any since. He came on time and called to let me know he was coming. He sprayed very thoroughly, and he was friendly. I don't like that Terminix is so booked that it’s difficult to call and schedule, but I like that they have automatic scheduling where I get an email and as long as the day works, I can keep it. In the past, I've had difficulties that they don't come during their window or sometimes they don't come at all.

I had a bedbug problem and an ant problem and it cost me $1,200. Terminix came here once and treated the ants and the bedbugs. Their sales and the technician that came was a good guy. He was concentrated on the bedbug infestation that I recently got. It has only been three months since I stayed at a hotel and I figured that’s where I probably got them. The bedbugs were just starting to show up so he was able to take care of that. So far the bedbug issue is okay but the ants, I still got them by the trillions. The guys over at Terminix have never called back to schedule anything. I don’t think Service Master bought them. They try to avoid the service as much as they can. Overall, I just noticed that it’s not the same as what Terminix used to be. I’m basing this on what Terminix used to be when I used them before years back.

The first time they came out to spray, the wasps were pouring out. And I was having the house painted so the guy that sprayed did not do the eaves because he didn't want to cause problems with paint. So, he even told me to call and have them come back out. I called, they came out and I haven't seen anything since. Whenever they came back out and re-sprayed everything, it was fine. The last one that is actually supposed to come do the routine, he was wonderful. He called me and let me know what was going on and when he was gonna be here. I told them I couldn't be here but he came on out, did his job, called me and let me know everything was done. Everything was wonderful with him.
As far as the person coming out and spraying the house, everything was fine. It's with the salesperson and with the people that do the contract that I've had an issue. They came out and put the termite bait out. At the same time, the salesperson had told me to do the barrier in my crawl space. They pushed me to make a decision and I decided I didn't want it. I called them and he upped and showed up out here to try to change the contract or talk me out of it and I wasn't here.
Then they went ahead and did the contract for the full amount and charged me and did not take that amount off. Plus, I got the letter in the mail telling me that I still owe the full amount. Whenever I called, they're "Oh no, you've got a credit." I said, "Well, according to the company that I owed money to, I don't have the credit." They told me last week that I will hear from somebody before the 15th because it's due on the 15th, and I have yet to hear from anybody.

Terminix in southern WI can't keep appt straight. As far as the bug service it works fine, but when technicians show up 2 hrs out of the 2 hr window that we are given we have a problem. We have a locked fence with pets that we have to make sure is open for them, and when they don't show up on time it's an issue. After the first year and only getting one appointment right I complained about it. They said it wouldn't happen again. I had to order an extra spray and got a phone call saying they would be at my house between 1-3 on 5-19-17. Well, 330 rolled around and nobody had shown up yet.
So I called the technician manager. He said he would call someone and have them come over ASAP. I said NO. We now had to run errands and would need to lock our gate. I said "Have somebody call and reschedule." He rudely said "fine" and hung up on me, but of course, 3 hours later after we are back home someone shows up to spray our house. He said his paperwork showed the appointment at 5-7. Which was not what the phone call said. At that point I had completely had it with the piss poor communication within the Terminix company that I sent him away, never letting him spray the house. I have given Terminix several chances to get this right and they have failed miserably. I am now waiting for a call back from the Madison Branch manager to see if he cares about his company's poor service, because nobody below him does.

My mom freaked out big time for bed bugs and was stressed out over it so I called Schendel Pest Control that is under Terminix, and they said they could come out within a very short amount of time.

They showed up exactly when they said they would.
I like that they were so discreet that their truck only had their company name on it and the trailer they brought had nothing written on it, so it wasn’t like the neighbors could look at and say that my mom got bed bugs as she was concerned about that. They reassured her that it's not the way it is as it happens to everybody. They had to do the machines and heat the house because bed bugs can't survive past a certain temperature.

The Terminix technician was nice, wonderful, and very professional. He and my husband established a good rapport together, so he was really good and it was an excellent experience. Over 2 weeks ago, he came to spray real good for ants and he told me not to mop the floor yet and let the application work. So my kitchen floor stayed ugly for almost two weeks because I wanted to mop and but I didn’t want to mess up the application. But I went ahead and did it a couple of days ago and the ants are back.
The service was nice. The ants start in my kitchen and I had a swarm of them in the cabinet. I have feeling that I'll never be totally rid of them, but I had it good where I didn’t see any for at least about 12 days. Now they're back and they're crawling across the living room, ceiling, and in the kitchen. The technician mentioned that as long as I have the tree that's over my front yard then I'll probably have ants. So I'm really debating on whether or not I want to do the July appointment because I don’t want to give my money away or waste it by paying something I know is not gonna go away permanently. I'm glad my landlord covered a third of it and I told him that I needed to get rid of the ants because they're becoming pests to me. I can sit on my couch and all of a sudden feel something crawling on me, which is the most unnerving feeling being that my nerves are already old age.
Still, I need some more help with the application. The technician said we could get rid of the ants in 14 days and it's been a little over 14 days this past week. We've really been trying to be careful about leaving sweets out and I put a lot of stuff in my refrigerator so the ants don’t have food to feed upon, but it doesn’t seem to have totally cured the problem. I want to see and know what Terminix's policy is because I paid to have it done and I haven't had much result.

It's been good so far with Terminix, no problems. I signed up with the yearly service and I got the termite thing out there, the one with the baits. I also decided to call Terminix because I had ants. They came out the next day and sprayed and we don't have ants anymore.

I get my services from Terminix four times a year. We have a contract and they email when they're coming. They arrive on a different time than what the email says but that's okay. Everybody that we've had from them has been terrific. 15 years ago, termites ate through two of our picture windows. With their work, they still ate through our house and they settled with us for a year for free service which wasn't even close to what it cost us to repair. Also, they have been unable to control the cave crickets in the basement. The product hasn't worked and after six or seven years, I can still see them in the traps downstairs. It's very embarrassing.
We were going to have a lot of guests and we needed the basement for some of them to sleep. Also, my son brought home, we hope, Ms. Right and they wanted the basement for privacy when we had all these house guests. I wanted to make a good first impression. I was a little hysterical when I called them and a very nice, terrific and wonderful guy came. He did something different from what had been done in the past. He threw some granule instead of spray and it seems to keep them down to a bare minimum which is very much appreciated. He even when went outside for us and saw if there was any hole in the foundation. It's much more under control now.
Astrid, Thank you for providing feedback about your service! We appreciate the opportunity to improve our customer experience.

The work that was done was ok, but trying to get someone to call you or show up on time is very difficult. The original call was for a raccoon in the attic and birds in the soffits. The technicians showed up very late for the appointment, and they cleaned out the insulation where the raccoon was (he had already left) and re-insulated. They found the entry point and installed some hardware cloth to prevent reentry. The soffit in the back was repaired, but to my dismay I heard birds the next day. I called them several times to complain, but no phone call or acknowledgement to come back. I was able to pop the soffit and let the birds out and let it go.
Here it is a few months later, and the birds are back. I called to have a warranty service call, but they have missed at least 4 appointments. When they finally came the guy did not have the correct ladder to reach the high point in the soffit where the baby birds were, and said he would return in a day. Again, to my dismay, the next day I hear baby birds up in the soffit. He had already closed up and sealed the lower soffit (where the birds were gaining entry) and now mommy bird could not get to babies. I understand the birds were probably going to be euthanized, but to cut off food and water from an animal, to me, is just wrong.
Well the appointment time came and went, and when I called I was told they were short-handed and probably couldn't make it. I would receive a call to reschedule. I received no such call. Terminix is has been the worst service company I have ever had to work with. I would never recommend them to anyone. I should have just performed the work myself. The cost of me buying the right ladders and equipment would have been much less expensive, and I would at least know the job was being done right.

We’ve recently bought a place and as spring came along, we found there were ants starting to march through the kitchen, and we decided to get rid of them. We got Terminix for a year’s service. Every quarter, they’re going to come out and spray, and make sure the pests doesn’t come back. There was a guy that we spoke to on the phone that let us know what all the cost was going to be and set up the appointment for someone to come out. They came out right when they said they would and the guy who came out looked through the house and was able to locate where our problem was, and sprayed it, and took care of it. Once they’ve been sprayed, it takes a little while for it to be killed off, but we saw a couple after that and we haven’t seen them since. It was the way you would expect a business deal to go. They did what they said they would, and we’re happy with it. I’d recommend them to someone.

Terminix comes quarterly to spray the home. Usually, I might see one bug or two right when it's time for them to come back sometimes. I get a reminder call for the schedule and if I can't keep that appointment, they tell me to press a certain number. I'd go to a live person and then they set something else for me and the lady I spoke with was really nice.
The technician was fine and a nice gentleman as well. However, the scheduled maintenance was supposed to be between12:00 and 4:00, but he came nearly 5:00 so I waited around all day for him to come. He ended up coming late, so I started to get nervous like if someone rang the doorbell or I missed him as it held up my midday. I had the day off from work when they came. I never knew if it was just a busy day for him, which is fine, but if I have to keep the time, then I would like for them to try their best to keep the time too, or give a courtesy call and let me know that they're running late.

We call when we see some insects out there and Terminix immediately responds. I like the guy they send here all the time. He's very nice, friendly, professional, and he knows what he is doing. He's an open book and you can talk to him. They do their routine and that's it. The only complaint I have is sometimes they spray some poison to the bushes and they burn the leaves. And this is the second time they did that. So, the next time they're going to spray the lawn, they have to knock on the door and let us know because that way we could tell them not to spray any of them, just bushes. We don't want to spray poison not because we believe in organic, it's just because they kill the leaves. Other than that, everything looks good so far. I would recommend them to a friend.

Fraud, and a complete lack of accountability or customer service. Terminix salesperson named Myron ** (TX Plano office) came to our home to assess rodent activity in our attic. He diagnosed the issue as a rat infestation and recommended an exclusion process for $3700. Given past success with Terminix we agreed. Exclusion process was performed but there was no reduction in the activity; if anything, it increased. I reached out to him and after repeated attempts, another technician was sent. HE identified the issue as squirrels and performed additional exclusion services. These efforts also failed. At that point my additional texts and calls to Terminix--to Myron, the technician and most incredibly, the technician's supervisor Todd **, who NEVER acknowledged my communications attempts--all went unanswered.
After six weeks of no results I began calling the national customer service line requesting that squirrel traps be set at my home. Each of the five times I have called, I have received assurances of follow up by regional managers or someone at the Plano office. On only one occasion (this past Monday) was there any response. On that occasion, two new technicians who failed to provide their names or their business cards showed up, and after I walked them through my home and brought them up to speed, they assured me they'd be addressing the problem. When I returned home that evening--nothing. No note, no communication (they too had my mobile number) and no solution. The noises returned in the middle of the night.
This morning (Saturday May 6) I once again called Terminix national customer service, this time requesting a full refund, and was once again told that someone from the office would reach out to me immediately regarding the matter. Five hours later, still no response and none expected. National customer service refused to provide me with contact information for the technicians or managers and there seems to be no way to get them to respond. I am now beginning the process of taking legal action should no one respond to me in the coming week. This is the most abysmal example of customer service, and the process seems designed to prevent customers from receiving any satisfaction for misleading service or the kind of outright fraud perpetrated on me.

He answered all our questions and was very detailed. Any suggestions or any places of concerns that we told them, they addressed them. But they’re coming back because we didn’t tell the technician the first time that our dogs go to the creek across the street and we’re getting fleas again and they said that they do treat for fleas too.

Terminix comes four times a year to spray and we also have a termite contract with them. They are good people and they do their job, but it's the nature in Louisiana that there are a lot of insects and I think around that no matter how many times Terminix comes out and sprays it, we have the same problem. They come regularly and the spraying helps but only for a few days, except that we have a roach and there was that lizard, and mosquito coming inside. Maybe they have to increase the amount of the material that they use or frequency, if there are a lot of spiders which is the nature of the insect that we have.

Our experience with Terminix was good. They have done a thorough good job but I still have bugs running around in my mobile home. We’ve been fighting this for over a year now with Terminix and the bugs are not just gone. I was having them come monthly. But with me being a senior with social security and fixed income, they said they could come quarterly and that they would come in between whenever I call them and save this money which I was grateful for. But I don’t mind paying them. I just want to get rid of the bugs.
I live in a double wide mobile home that’s four bedroom and two bath, and almost 2000 square feet but the bugs are hiding somewhere. We have not found the original nest. We had the bugs bad when they first started and I don’t know where the bugs came from at all but they multiply. At one time, the whole neighborhood was infested. Everybody had bugs. There’s a mobile home right next door that’s empty. When they rented it out the last time, they had to get somebody in there and fumigate it. Something came off the wall like a beehive hanging. That place has been empty now for about three years and they could be infested back, so maybe that’s where the bugs are coming from and they’re making their way to my house.
I’ve got roaches that are running even more now. There are small and big ones and there are the ones that fly and come from outside. There are also German Roaches and I can’t have that. I had to recall Terminix and have them come. Chris, the technician who they sent out, was very good. He said, “This time, let’s empty all your cabinets. I want it totally emptied out, everything. So I can get right down there, possibly get to the extent of the problem.” Everything that we use, I have to wash before we can cook or eat off of them. I’m helpless because if we want to fry an egg, I got to wash the fry pan and the utensil before I use it. He also had me clean all my covers out and take everything else like pots, pans, dishes, and everything else.
Since it seemed that the bugs would congregate underneath the island in my kitchen, we’ve emptied that all up and had Chris dig deep down. He was on his knees and got all the way around. There was nothing he hadn’t covered. But still, they’re coming back. He said when he left the other day that after the stuff he put in the cabinets dry, get down in there and wipe everything down with Corax water and let dry before you put your stuff away. He said no bugs won’t go back there. But they’re still going back there. When Ashley, another technician, came out, she fumigated the place. She was also good. She had us take the animals and go outside and we sit out there for around three hours. She came in here, put on a regular suit and fumigated all the way through. And nobody has done that since Ashley went here.
This is terrible. We did that two weeks ago and I still got everything in plastic bags still sitting on my counter and tables. My kitchen’s a mess. I don’t want to put them back in as long as I see bugs around them. I am to the point now that if Terminix can’t get rid of the bugs, I’m going to call somebody else and cancel my service with them. I hate to say that because they’ve always been so good about coming out and I’m going to have to call them again and have them come back out here.
But I don’t have a problem with the guys from Terminix and I'm not blaming them. I’m sure they’re using the right things that they should use and they’re doing whatever they’re supposed to be doing. I’ve saved all my tickets and they're telling me what they’re using. It’s just that the roaches are winning. I don’t know what they’re going to have to do but I got to get rid of these bugs. It’s driving me crazy.

We were trying to have a wasp problem controlled and I was trying to tell them the urgency of it cause there were wasps everywhere. And all they did was come by and sprayed that little turkey baster type thing instead of coming out with the heavy artillery. I told them that I needed them to come out since we're having guests over and we couldn't go outside. Also, on the second floor, there were wasp hives. They said that they're going to send someone a week from now because no one was available to come and take care of it.
When I called the first time, on a Sunday, they said that someone from the local branch will call me by Tuesday. It's already Wednesday and no one's calling, no one's doing anything. They were courteous and knowledgeable for sure but I feel that they were very limited because of the way that their company is structured. A lot of the call representatives don't have authority or access to the branches. They don't have most of the information so they end up saying it doesn't reach the local Terminix branch here and then there's a disconnection. But they were awesome when it came to things on the inside like ants and stuff. But when it came to something big like the wasps and having them come out urgently, they just didn't step it up.
