    Terminix is doing mosquito treatments for me, and my service is supposed to be done routinely. However, I signed up for the service on the 25th of May, and I've just been treated a couple of times because of scheduling issues. I had some problems with the scheduling. I called and got one of the call centers. The person I talked with was very nice. This was a week before last, and I made sure I was available for the two or three hour window that was scheduled, but nobody showed up.

    I called in, and, apparently, somebody put in my service schedule on the wrong column. So I know the company's too big. But the regional sales or the local people are very good. They will just call me directly. I called one of the guys at Terminix yesterday to get the retreatment done, and maybe he did see on his computer screen that this was scheduled for the day, but I never heard from him. I called him on Monday, and, so far, he hasn't called me back.

    The biggest problem that I have is the nature of their product. If it rains within 24 hours of application, they've got to redo the treatment. But in the summer here in Memphis, Tennessee, it's probably going to rain at some point every afternoon. So by the sheer nature of their product, it's a real hassle. It doesn't seem like it's the right product and they need to perfect that product a little bit. They were out there last Friday, and in fact, the Terminix fellow did the retreatment today.

    Mike, the guy who came out last time, was excellent. He knows what he's doing. Apparently, he's been in the business for a long time and he's very thorough. The people that I've met and dealt with before have been very professional and have done an excellent job. But the young guy who came out today, although he was a nice fellow, wasn't adequately trained and Terminix just cut him loose by himself, so the service hasn't worked at all with him. I didn't have time to show him around the yard, and I think he was just looking to do the very minimum. I actually increased the acreage coverage this last time in the hope that maybe this would do some good, but even that was a hassle. It wasn't for the fact that the regional sales people were coming out shadowing another salesman, the tech wasn't allowed to increase the coverage area on his own, so that wasn't even going to happen.

    It's the scheduling and getting something accomplished that's very poor. I thought I'd give their mosquito treatment a shot, but it seems like the company's too busy trying to sell me something else, without a warning. They sent a guy out trying to do a termite inspection, but I've already got a termite treatment with another company. I looked out last Friday because the salesman was in the area. He came out and they've got all these nice computers and cool tablets, but if he doesn't have the authority to make an on-the-spot call, it's useless.

    I'd just be happy if the service I signed up for and that I'm paying for would be done and would work. I'm not even sure yet if it would work because they say that you have to be treated for two to three months before you see any results. But the season will be over before I'm treated for two or three months consecutively, so I'm at a loss. The people that come out on the field are very good. It's just that there's some disconnect between the headquarters and the people on the field. In my experience, the service needs work overall.

    We have a new house, so we needed to make sure that we're well-protected against termites and bugs. The main thing Terminix is doing for us is getting rid of mosquitoes and keeping bugs away from our house. We have their service performed routinely and the people that were helping us have been courteous, and have done an excellent job. We've had two different guys that have come out and both of them have been very professional and have done all that is needed to make sure we were protected. Since the last service, we have no bugs and have not seen a single mosquito around our house this summer. I'm very satisfied with the service that they gave us.

    We have the Ultimate Protection Package with Terminix, and according to that contract, they are to come out quarterly AND whenever we call them to do so. They were just here three days ago to perform our quarterly service, and everything looked to be effective... until this morning. We have SWARMS - HANDFULS - of stinging insects entering and exiting the wall of our main bathroom. I can hear them inside the bathroom but don't want to get close enough to determine if they're hornets, yellow jackets, or wasps. When I called Terminix, they acknowledged that it was an urgent problem, in need of immediate service, but they are unable to reach their local office. When I asked if they could not reach the office, how would the office know to reach me, they had no answer.

    The best they can offer me is that the local Terminix office will call me in 24 hours to let me know if they could come out today or not. Really, they can even call me tomorrow to let me know if they can come out today? Yes, that is the best they can do. Meanwhile I have a horror movie-worthy and ever-growing collection of stinging insects coming into my home in the room where I bathe my two young children. When I threatened to cancel my contract (as they are obviously unable to fulfill their end of the agreement), I was told by "Sara", a customer service MANAGER, that "That's fine. Go ahead." Call my bluff, Terminix!

    I had called Terminix initially because we have their service for termites but we've been noticing mosquitoes around so I asked them if they service that, too, and they do. The area has been reported to have the West Nile virus in mosquitoes right now, so it's another reason why we got the service. The technician did his job, sprayed everything he needed to spray, and he was gone. So far we've had only two treatments and Terminix is coming out tomorrow for the third. Their techs were prompt, very knowledgeable with the products and what they would be doing. They were also very courteous in asking us to keep the dogs in and in giving us certain rules that we need to follow while they're spraying. They go out of their way for us, which is nice. When they do their job, they make no mess nor get anything broken. Because I’ve had people in the past come and service us and they broke things.

    The treatment seems to be working very well and isolating the mosquitoes. We haven't seen any more floating around lately and there was only one mosquito in one of the traps that were set. The test would be when we're going to have a function on the sixth for my mother-in-law's 88th birthday. It's another reason why I wanted to make sure I didn't have mosquitoes around because a lot of the people will be in the backyard.

My service schedule was changed three different times. On one of these, the technician came out on the regular time. My service is scheduled routinely, but they keep changing my dates without me knowing, and it gets confusing. Like when they came yesterday, I had to go for my COPD checkup, so I wasn't here when the technician came to do the service. But he came back out, knew exactly what he had to do. I had no problem with him - he did a very good job.

    The last time when they came out and did the mosquito treatment, a couple of days after that we had no problems with the mosquitoes and I never did call in. But this time, on the date they were going out and coming around the house, I didn't want the mosquito treatment done in the house, so the technician took care of that matter. Some areas in the house are limited when I have a lot of stuff for my COPD machine, and we want nobody to go inside the room where it's in. The technician was very courteous and did whatever I asked him to do. I would recommend Terminix to a friend. Since I've had them, I haven't had any major problems with pests. Anytime I ask about a situation, they try to address it to the best of their ability and help in any way they can.

    I love my exterminator from Terminix. I have the same one all the time and he is great. He listens to me and he does what he thinks is best for what's happening in my house so I'm very happy. He came recently but I didn't see what he did because he knows what and how to get where he has to spray. He took care of everything and it seems to have worked. He's very personable. We share personal, not intimate, things about family so I feel like he's almost a friend. I was always afraid to have an exterminator but I'm very pleased with what he has done.

Scheduling took me a couple of minutes and it was very easy. They came right out and took care of it. I had no problem.

    Terminix comes out to spray for mosquitoes monthly. They usually let me know in advance what day it's going to be and I call them if I'm not available or for some reason they can't do it that day. Otherwise, I wait for their guy to show up. Every technician who's been out has been friendly and really nice so far. I haven't seen any mosquitoes since their service and we haven't had a lot of rain where we are so that keeps the mosquitoes down anyway. Nonetheless, the experience has been very positive and I'm very satisfied.

    I've had an excellent experience with Terminix. I have their mosquito treatment and the general pest control service. The mosquito coverage is new for me and it's going to be once a month for a couple of months. The general pest control service is going to continue as long as I think they're satisfactory. Moreover, I get to schedule my service. Sometimes, they notify me when they'll be coming, but if I'm not happy with that schedule, I can cancel it and get another appointment and that's how both services work. I get their clear email notification well ahead of time. I print it up, put it on my fridge so I don't forget and have the schedule marked on my calendar also.

    It was fine and excellent with the technicians. They said I don't have to be home when they come for my service, but I like to be home whenever anybody comes to my property and that's fine with them too. I don't really watch them out there and just trust that they're doing what they promise to do, and I'm hoping I won't have mosquitoes this summer. I've always felt that if I had a complaint, I could call Terminix and they would try to handle it for me. The guys and the woman who do the spraying are really nice, completely polite and friendly, and I like that as well.

    Since my last service, there are spiders along my fences in the vines at the back, so I'm not sure if they spray along there. I'm not surprised that there are spiders when I've got vines since the spiders are very attracted to making their webs on vines. I once had pest control that would sweep the spider webs away, but I don't know if that's part of Terminix's service. I could ask them if they'd spray the fence and I think they would do it, too. I don't have too many spiders in the house though and that's my main worry.

    I like Terminix as the formula that they're using for the mosquitoes works good, I'm pleased with it. However, to send out the technician was the poor part. Alabama weather is going crazy. It's a lot of sunshine in the morning and you never know what happens in the afternoon, it's pouring rain and storm. They have a monthly schedule then the guy comes in and sprays. They said the formula of the spray has to be dried within 24 hours and it would work. Two hours later, it just rains and washes the formula of the spray out. Then I noticed that the mosquitoes still come in biting the next day or two, the formula didn't work.

    So I called and explained that we needed them to spray the formula again. They gave me the schedule, date, and timeframe then they never showed up. I waited all day then I called them and they said that they were sorry, they didn't know what happened and they would schedule me again. They said I don't have to be paranoid but I wanted to make sure that they'd spray. I had to call over and over, and that was a little bit frustrating. They don't seem so consistent and keep the right schedule.

    The last time that they sprayed on our house and it got rained, it was the 4th of July and we had the company and a barbeque in our site. We got big bites, and the company as well. I was so upset and so I called them and we scheduled then they didn't come out. Our guy apologized and he said that their schedule is so busy and he couldn't make it. But they should at least let me know if they can come or when they're gonna come. But hopefully, it's gonna be smooth until October as mosquito season is over that time.

    My daughter is going through the same thing. I recommended Terminix to her as I had a good experience the first months. She's pregnant so she was very scared about the mosquito then she called them and started the service. Then they got rain and she's trying to call Terminix again and set up a schedule. They never showed up and she got really frustrated too. She said she's been calling and she doesn't know what to do. I told her she should've kept calling, but then we never have to do that.

    But the technicians were very nice and hardworking, and I'm satisfied with them. The last service was good as well. The technician apologized then he came in and sprayed, and I don't see the mosquito. I went outside in the morning and afternoon, doing some of my flower and garden stuff, and I didn't get bitten. I just wish they have more technicians, especially during mosquito seasons. And then when it rains, they should come back and service again, so we don't get bitten by the mosquito. They're a very good company and their product is excellent. We are still on contract with them for the termites. So once year, I have service with them, and I'm continuing. This is the first year we have the mosquito service and I hope that their scheduling would be better and satisfy the customer.

    I wrote a review earlier about the technician not showing up the last time. They contacted me and tried to reach a solution. They offered me that the manager would come by himself to do the service. I agreed and he came and did it. I change my rating to three stars because they tried to fixed what happened. I would give 5 stars if that happened from the beginning.

    No stars if possible. I had an appointment from 10-12 so I had to drive down to open the door for whoever was suppose to come. I waited for 4 hours and no one showed up. I called the customers service 4 times and this is hands down the most useless customer service I have seen in my life. First, they told me they a phone number for the person who was suppose to come (like seriously?). Second, they said that they tried to call the branch and no one answers because the branch manager is in vacation and the service manager is not pick up!!! (Are you kidding me?). I ended up cancelling the service. I pretty sure there are other companies who respect their customers more than this one.

    So I had termites and purchased service thru Terminix around 5 years ago. I paid the initial thousands of dollars to have them treat and take care of my issue. The salesman, inspector decided to use the liquid treatment on my property. I pay my yearly renewal fee to keep the warranty/guarantee up to date which I find out recently that I'm not 100% protected/covered like the salesman/Customer Service told me I would be initially. Great to tell me something different 5 years later. I'm assuming I get told that over and over again so they can get that initial huge amount of money and renewal fee each year. So all the sudden instead of renewing your yearly protection over the phone, an inspector has to come out to "check" your property. Lo and behold I'm told we don't use the liquid system anymore, doesn't work as well as the bait system and I believe some other reasons.

    So they want me to pay around $1500 to update my property to the bait system now?? I'm sorry but it's not my fault your salesman and inspector chose the liquid system. I called in yesterday to express my concerns and the customer service didn't help so he sent me to someone higher up and he was called a Liaison??? He was not helpful at all and kept suggesting having an inspector come back out to the property for I guess go over the same thing?? I said that would be a waste of time for everyone and more importantly the customer service is just terrible anymore with Terminix. How about helping the customer out??? I know that seems strange with a customer service department. Why don't you update my system since I already spent thousands of dollars on a system you don't use anymore and say it doesn't work well??? Really. If this doesn't get taken care of...I'll explore other ways so myself and others aren't taken/treated like this anymore.

    My recent service with Terminix was for preventative services. My primary issue is mice and the techs have laid down bait traps. They do a great job at controlling the population. But when they come out, I'm never home. It's a scheduling nightmare but it's not necessarily their fault. Generally, I speak with somebody on the phone to schedule a service because I can't work through the web interface. Either I'm locked out or it tells me I don't have an account. I end up doing three service calls a month, which they provide free and that's wonderful. Then, the techs come right out. They are amazing and without exception, really friendly and nice. They do the job and the job works. Now, the mice problem is almost completely gone. I haven't seen them out for months.

    We were scheduled for May 23 to be tented. The men came to tent at 5:15 PM and said they couldn't do it because we have a covered lanai (decking). My husband and I were with them and suggested they put plastic covering over the deck. They then called supervisors and went to front yard to talk, and after a few minutes, I went to see them and they had left - did not even tell us they were leaving. Called Terminix as we had all food out of house, arrangements made to drive 1 hour to Stuart to stay with friends, and 2 dogs - one that is 15 and can hardly walk. Of course, you do not talk to a local Terminix person when you call - EVER - no matter what day or time. You are sent to a call office in Tampa and they relay the msg - and someone will call us within 24-48 hours!!!

    Since we were packed to leave, we did. I called and complained the next day but to no avail. The 'message center' sent msg to 3 people: Vincent, Thaier, David, and Mark. A couple of days later, David came with a 'Fumigation Expert', who left before I got to talk to him as he was in a hurry. David proceeds to tell us that these 3 deck boards *about 3 ft long - had to be removed. I told him 'that will not happen' because you would have to remove 70 x 30 feet of decking to get to those as it is screwed from underneath. Two days later, David comes with a company from Miami. The Miami guy looks at our deck and says 'no problem - just buy plastic and cover the boards'!!!!! We have never been fumigated in 30 years here and we knew what should be done and you - Terminix - did not!!

    It was common sense - cover the 8 x 10 ft of deck with plastic so the fumes could not get out. This happened about 4 days later and I told them to please get it done within a week so I wouldn't have to unpack and buy food, etc. Well, again, Dave said it would be June 23 (one month after our original date) BUT he said we would be the first one to be put on a list for a cancellation and that it would be sooner. I told Dave, so what you are telling me is that it will be done June 23 (no fitting me in earlier as that was salesman talk making promises) and so that was the case. I had several other termite people come to give me estimates - all which were lower. But I am a person that wants everything done right - even if I pay more. I searched the internet and found that Terminix was #1 of a list of 10 companies and that it had the 'Gold Metal' award and 85 years of experience.

    Not wanting to deal with a smaller company because if there were problems, I do not feel confident they will handle them. Thus, I choose Terminix. It was a horrible experience and I will be writing it up on other websites. You, Terminix, like many other large companies are living off your name - but your work and ethics say otherwise. What a disappointment. I would not recommend you to anyone.

A couple days later I changed my mind and decided to tent now. Kim said she would process a refund for the $1,100 I had already paid and also said she would tent all 5 units connected to mine for $750 and later that changed to $810 just because... Last week Tuesday the 21st of June I called to see where my refund was since I had not seen it come back into my card. Kim asked I call the main number and once I called I was told it would take around 3-5 days for my refund to go back in my account. Today the 29th of June I checked and my refund is still not there. The incompetent people I spoke to today at Terminix said the money never came out of my account and I see it posted every day.

    The people who I spoke with today were the rudest I have ever spoken with in the little time I have dealt with Terminix. These women kept speaking over me and would get loud when I got frustrated at their lack of willingness to help and their incompetence was so extraordinary I had to just call my bank to try and figure out where the money Terminix stole from me wound up. Please do not use this company for any pest control or termite control. They lie to get your business and then they steal your money and claim they do not have it.

    No matter what, go elsewhere. The management could not care less about the quality of service at this location. We contracted Terminix to complete a crawlspace encapsulation at our home on 3/29. They began the work on 4/13, which included just pulling out the old insulation, and have not been back since. It's 5/26. They left 1800 square feet of insulation sitting in my backyard since 4/13. They have repeatedly told me that they are coming out the next day to pick it up, yet here it still sits. I have been leaving messages at every level of management for weeks that the city is ticketing me for the insulation and Terminix has done absolutely nothing but make promises. They consistently pass the buck and make excuses on those rare occasions when I can actually get in contact with someone. And then they have the audacity to treat me as if something is wrong with me because I am upset about the situation.

    I have kids and pets who I have to be concerned about getting into this insulation, and neighbors who are extremely upset about having to look at it. I have literally spent hours on the phone on hold trying to resolve this situation. It seems as if absolutely no one at Terminix cares about anything but taking your money. They may be fine for basic bug services but for anything else, please save yourself a terrible experience.

They finally removed all of the insulation from my backyard and came out once to do more of the work but it's still far from done. There has been no pop-up issues. My home hasn't needed any extra work, Terminix just has not given a damn about coming to my home to complete the work. Corporate still hasn't done anything despite numerous complaints on my part. The local Terminix manager won't return my calls. Yet, Terminix still doesn't have a problem getting those bills out on time or cashing my checks. As I have been talking to others in the community who have dealt with Terminix everyone says run away. Their customer service is horrible. There is no real way to escalate real problems. The folks on the 800 number just "leave messages" with the regional managers who have never once contacted me or done anything to correct the problem.

    And they have made no effort to pay the fine for the ticket that I received from the city for the 1,800 square ft of insulation that they left balled up in my backyard, worse yet, they never even apologized. I really mean it when I say that they truly do not care. Second update 6/25/16. So after I posted my update, Terminix Social Media team contacted me supposedly in order to help me resolve my case. You know what their solution was? Nothing. Yep, the same old runaround, the "we will be sure to forward your issue to the manager at your local Terminix".

    This man will not answer his phone, return my message left directly to him, respond to complaints lodged through the 1-800 Terminix customer service line, nor other messages sent through the completely useless "escalation" specialists. It's like they did not even read my review and just fell back the canned reply that is supposed to give me hope. What part of it's been since April do you not understand. I have tried this all before. NO ONE CARES AT TERMINIX.

    Terminix was the first to call when I inquired about pest control services. Initially, the first person I spoke to was very friendly and helpful. I got my estimate and my appointment for the next day, which was between 5pm - 7pm because I work. I left work 2 hours early the day of my appt to ensure I was home in enough time to meet Terminix. I have a huge spiders problem (tarantula sized spiders but they are called fruit spiders) so of course I was desperate to get it done right away. No one showed up so I called to find my appointment was switched to the next day between 5 - 7pm. Highly disappointed I thought maybe it was my mistake on which day, although I swore they said the day before. So I left work early again the next day, which was an inconvenience with all the work I had left on my desk.

    I get home and no one shows at 5pm so I CALL AGAIN... Voice service told me my appt was changed to Friday morning between 8am - 10am. I work, I'm not available that time and they didn't even call me to tell me they needed to switch my appointment. They just kept switching without notifying me of any changes. Good thing I called. I was very upset so I told them how this was inconvenient and they got an attitude with me and cancelled my appointment. I got transferred to someone who was nice but unfortunately, they couldn't get anyone out to me right away.

    I ditched Orkin because they were second to call but their price was cheaper. I made a commitment to Terminix and they were horrible. So now I have to go the entire weekend without having my house exterminated, may encounter more spiders. I went and called Orkin and they were friendly and ensured someone will be out on Monday. They gave an earlier appointment for Friday but I have a funeral to go to. I wish I would have went with Orkin in the first place and cancelled with Terminix. I would have had my house exterminated by now! I am also calling corporate office on this in hopes they will figure out which office handled this issue so poorly.

    My husband and I have utilized Terminix for the termite control and monitoring for several years. Therefore, when we realized we had a rodent issue, we naturally turned to them for help. They quoted a price and we paid it. They came out to seal up the exterior of the home. Now, one would assume this would result in careful, professional work. Unfortunately, we ended up with bubbling, shotty-looking work that detracts from the home appearance. You can actually see the sections where the material they "injected" has caused a bubbling in the roof area. That being said, we were still hopeful that perhaps it would resolve the issue. That was the level of our desperation, shotty-looking, but if it works, we'll be happy. I cannot help but think now, that perhaps if we lived in a more affluent area, with nicer homes, that this would certainly NOT have been acceptable work for the workers or the company.

    Unfortunately, we now have bubbled looking hole plugs and STILL have a rodent issue that's pretty severe. They laid poison at one point and again, problem continues. We feel as though they did not desire to solve the problem, but rather, continue to get money from us for surface-level responses that did not address the real problems. Recently, they withdrew $111 from our account stating that we had to tell them "not to" do it, or it would simply be done. Who does business this way? Not to mention, they charged additional money for simply "walking around" property on a day we could not be present and were adamant that because the tech logged it in the notes, we had no room to complain nor doubt that anything occurred. Now, given that we have 3 giant dogs in the backyard, I am curious how they can say they "walked around" when they could not have accessed the backyard.

    The money we have spent with NO results has been frustrating and disappointing to say the least. We have canceled all services with them, even though they required us to pay the disputed charge with a threat of sending it to collections if we did not. There was never a concern that we were dissatisfied. There was never an attempt to make things better. No customer service, no integrity, and no concern that the job is not being done well. Terrible way to do business. We will never recommend their service to others and will be certain to let people who ask for recommendations know about our experience.

    I called Terminix for both termite and flying carpenter ants. It was scheduled very easily and it went smoothly. The service techs came very promptly and planted the termite bait traps around the perimeter of the house. When that was finished, another person sprayed around the sides of the house for the carpenter ants. I’ve seen no sign of any termites or carpenter ants since I had the service. Unfortunately, a week after they came, contrary to my instructions and walk-around with them, my spring cleanup maintenance people covered seven of the eighteen termite bait traps with mulch. The Terminix tech had made a chart of the location of those bait traps. No one’s come to check up on the activity in the bait traps since they were installed. I have tried a couple of times to get a copy of that location map so that I could uncover them. I’ve called them, but haven’t had any response. Nevertheless, I’m very satisfied.

    We have Terminix on two different properties for a number of years. However recently, scheduling the service was horrible. I can't talk to anybody from a local office and has to go through a main office. I wanted the appointment for two weeks out and they told me that they couldn't make appointments that far in advance. I called again a week out and they said that they didn't have any appointments on the day that I had wanted. I had to request that they had to send something to somewhere else to find out if we could get an appointment on the day that I wanted. Then I got confirmation of an appointment on the day that I was not available.

    The reason I actually called them out was because we had received reports that they needed to do an inside inspection because of live termite activity. This was in the vacation home where we need to travel to to make sure that somebody can be there to let a technician into the house and do an inspection. I wasn't going to drive four hours to this house unless I knew I had an appointment. Then the appointment came up and the technician showed up but he did not have to go into the house at all. He just needed to go into the crawlspace which has access from outside that he knew where it was and I did not have to be there to let him in. It was frustrating. I'm hoping that he did what he needed to do in order to make sure that we do not have live termite activity anywhere. I only had to trust what he said. This was the first time that we've had a lousy experience with them. Usually, if they come out, they do the inspection and we don't even have to be around.
