    I get a bimonthly outdoor service at my home from Terminix and I'm usually not on site when it happens. Joe is my regular guy and he's very communicative. He always calls me the day before, lets me know he's going to be there. I also get a text telling me the window of time that he's going to be there. When I am there, he usually knocks on the door and lets me know he's there. I make sure that I have my animals in, then he performs the work. He’s always really very good and thorough. Then he usually sends a text saying that he's finished. We get spiders in the fall and he's really good about brushing the eaves and getting the cobwebs away from the house. I would recommend Terminix. They're efficient and have good communication. They're reasonably priced as well.

    The guys from Terminix came and checked my traps. There was nothing there. They were on time, they were quick, and they were out. I have a termite mound. They come out twice a year for that if there are no signs of any activity. If there's any sign of any activity, then they'll come back more and check it. I have the bait traps, and they added those in at no cost. They've come in and looked at stuff. If they spotted something that they thought might be a concern, they would point it out, but I've never had to have them come in and treat anything as far as for activity because I haven't had any.

    The only thing is they always seem to send me my annual bill about three months in advance, so it's like, “Okay. I'm paying you now for 12 months. But my 12 months doesn't end from the last payment until May or June." It's like they want you to pay in advance, and I always call them and say, “I'm not paying until it's due at 12 months.” They go, “Okay. No problem.” Other than that, so far, so good.

    I've had a very good experience with Terminix. The manager who came out was really good. His name was Rich and he was very professional. He scheduled the inspection, so that it was easy for us. He was very professional and pleasant. He respected the house, put on the boots, and I was very happy. The gentleman who did the treatment, Luis, came out for a follow-up because we had the issue with the mice again. He was also very pleasant, courteous, and neat. I'm set up for four treatments, the first and three follow-ups, and things always seem more than what you expect, but they are almost getting under control already. So I'm very pleased with that. Also, the way the service is paid out over a period of time makes it much more workable since it's not a big bill.

    Years ago, I found swarms of termites outside my house and knowing the Terminix name, I called them. Over the years, I was still having the termites. At one point, a couple of years ago, I called this one fellow. His name is Keith. He's an older gentleman. He's a veteran with Terminix. He came out and gave me a suggestion as to what the problem could be. Then Terminix came out. They drilled in and they put this liquid in by the front door and the side door where I was getting the swarms. Apparently, the termites were between my stair, my cement porch, and the foundation. The fellow came out and poured the stuff in there. Thank God, the termites haven't swarmed the past couple of years.

    The fellow that checks the baits come out every year, and he has not found any activity either. So, we're hopeful that they got them. For years, I was very frustrated because we couldn't figure out where that swarm was coming from, even though we had the bait traps. But after Keith came out and he suggested this and he sent out a fellow and they put the liquid in there, we haven't had a problem since. So, I'm very pleased.

    HORRIBLE! Terminix is a FRAUD company! NEVER sign any contract with them you. They will take your hard-earned money and will not do their job! We signed a contract for the exclusion and pest control with Terminix for several thousand dollars. The inspector was explaining us how they will do about 70 things on our house to exterminate and protect our house from mice, bats and all kinds of insects.

    After we signed a contract, the Terminix technician came to our property for 30 min, sprayed chemicals around the house, got on a roof, supposedly installed ridge vent guards and patched cracks on a roof. Then he left and send us a paper that the exclusion work is now complete! I was trying to get them back to finish all the promised work, or cancel the contract, but customer service kept telling me that the local manager will contact me within 24 hours and no one ever contacted me. What we found next, was even worst. We asked two local pest control company for the inspection on our house and they both told us that ridge vent guards are not installed properly, they done about 30% of work, and only half of the cracks on a roof are patched. And the patches that they did already falling out.

    We still have mice, bats, ants and spiders, and lost $4835.00. The customer service is very rude, they simply hang up on me when I asked to transfer me to her manager. The technician that came to our house looked like he was under the influence of some substance, I did not feel safe around him. He, literally, walked through me, not answering my greetings. IT IS A FRADULENT COMPANY! I will report them to attorney general, but will not get my money back, or time, or get the compensation for the stress I had to go through.

    I have a quarterly maintenance with Terminix and they do what I need them to do. I don't have any bug problems. I had an ant problem outside the house and I don't have any problems with that now. I go to their website whenever they send me a report after my quarterly service, and I look at what they put down. It's hard to get around on it to me but I'm an old guy. I had a guy named Shane that's done my service for a long time. He was excellent. He was personable when he came out to the house.

    I wish Shane was still doing it because we had a good relationship. They changed to another tech and not having Shane made a difference. I don't like the upsell thing and Shane never did that. He just did my service because he knew what I wanted. He notified me, knew when my day off was, so I didn't have to reschedule. For the last service, I asked them to do it on my day off but they scheduled it on the day I was at work so we had to reschedule. Apparently, they didn't have notes to know when to notify me when they could come out.

    There's always communication before and after the service a few days prior, just to let me know that it's coming up. The technician always makes contact with me again the night before, the morning of when they're on their way, and when they finish. I've been using Terminix for about nine years and I haven't considered going with another vendor. So, I'm satisfied. I don't have a mosquito problem but I added the mosquito service. Often, I'm told about a problem I didn't even know existed on the side or the back of the house, which is another thing that Terminix does. They will tell me about things that they saw and took care of. You don't have to call them and schedule the service. Once you're enrolled in the program, they keep track of when your next service is. So that's beneficial not to have to make a call to see when someone will come out.

    Reviewed May 7, 2024

    On Tuesday, April 9, 2024, a Terminix representative (Alan **, Home Inspector) came to my house, performed an inspection, and spoke to me about the services needed to remedy my termite issue. His verbal recommendations were as follows:

    1. Install bait traps around the entire perimeter of my house - including drilling holes into the concrete where there was no dirt;
    2. Build a trench around the perimeter of the house;
    3. Treat the tunnels the termites created; and,

    4. Treat the dirt underneath the house for the subterranean termites he found.

    As the cost seemed reasonable based on his explanation, I booked the gig for the very next day. On Wednesday, April 10, 2024, the day the service was to be performed, I called the company to inform them that I would be home, on time, but I would not be there any earlier. And, here is where my problems with Terminix began. The person who answered the phone was Alan, but he indicated that I was not scheduled. I was a bit put off, but I got over it, and asked if the service could be performed the next day. He agreed and rebooked me. On Thursday, April 11, 2024, the technician showed up and finished the work within less than an hour. That alone gave me cause for pause. The next cause for pause was seeing how fast the money was deducted from my banking account.

    Once the technician was gone, I looked around at his work. I was not satisfied with what I saw. There was an additional charge that was to be removed prior to my service being performed but it wasn’t. Terminix charged me $315 for an annual service agreement! Alan told me three (3) times that the fee would be removed from my quote before I paid. But, this never happened. AND, he stopped returning my phone calls. So, I contacted a competitor and had them inspect what was done. And, I am VERY glad I sought a second opinion! The second inspector pointed out several things that were not done appropriately or at all, which include:

    1. Not enough bait traps were installed, and the ones that were installed were installed improperly;
    2. Foaming should have been applied to gaps and openings in the house where termites were entering; and,

    3. It appeared as if I received a localized treatment versus the full treatment that I was told I was getting.

    The competitor indicated that foaming the inside of my house, where I discovered I had hundreds of dead termites, was a pretty basic treatment that should have been performed. Additionally, the competitor indicated that what was done by the Terminix representative did not meet industry standards! Lastly, the competitor stated that what work he did see was a pretty basic, shoddy, hit-and-run job!

    I got a copy of the technical data for the traps, which state that traps should be installed within three (3) meters (10 feet) of each other. No two (2) traps are within three (3) meters (10 feet). Most were in excess of 15 feet. Some were 30 feet or more apart! As well, some of the traps were ~12 inches away from the house, which is too close!!! Even the installation of the bait traps that were installed were installed inadequately (e.g. They were not flush to the ground. Some were sticking out and others were partially buried.).

    In summary, the areas of concern are:

    1. Too few bait traps were installed;
    2. The bait traps that were installed were too close to the perimeter of my house;
    3. The bait traps that were installed were positioned with too much distance between them to be effective;
    4. Drilling into the cement under the crawl space was never done;
    5. The trenching of the exterior perimeter was not done at all;
    6. Foaming of the openings in the house should have been done; and, to add insult to injury….

    7. Terminix added an annual service agreement for $315.

    Based on the second professional opinion I received, I am appalled. Most importantly, based on industry standards (or the county rules) I am now handcuffed to continue to deal with Terminix, for 120 days, before another vendor can even touch my house! What happened to a vendor providing what is promised to the customer? I was deceived and ripped off! I will NEVER do business with Terminix again!

    Terminix was supposed to complete an exclusion service in August 2023 on my 97 year old house for $1800. Didn't do it properly. They "missed" a huge gap by my 2nd chimney which continued critter access. 2 techs came over and said it all was good in my attic. 3rd tech came over and said, "Omg. I can't believe they missed the rodents (after an AC guy from another company saw one)! Now you will need full insulation replacement for $6800, but we will seal it all up first so insulation is all new and fresh. It's also rodent resistant(!) and we won't charge you until the job is done." All lies. They didn't seal up the house properly at all (that crew didn't even show up on job day), but they changed insulation anyway.

    This is not industry standard! Exclusion must be done 1st per 3 other companies who inspected my home afterwards and all found fresh rodent droppings! Terminix showed up 2 days later though and drilled holes in my original almost historic brick house to only cover vents without fixing other gaps. 42 holes or more to be precise which I now have to fix. Still have rodents. They won't fix their damage, won't replace my insulation (now rodent contaminated) and charged me 100% upfront which they said in writing they wouldn't.

    They passed me off to about 4 different managers who each could fit me in days later knowing that I was afraid to sleep at my house and staying elsewhere. This is a dishonest thievy company with no respect for properly, honesty and especially not single women. I'm out about 10k and have to hire other companies to repair their damage and redo all the work not to mention 3-4 weeks of stress and aggravation. So add 2k more.... Plus attorney's fees. Add 3k more.... They apparently are also mostly subcontractors and owned by a non-US company. Buyer beware!!!

    I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the termite services provided by Terminix, which have not only failed to resolve our termite problem but continue to waste my time. We initially chose Terminix this year due to its reputation and promise of effective termite control. Our house showed signs of termite activity, posing a severe risk to the integrity of our home’s foundation. Upon contacting Terminix, they were quick to install bait stations around our property, advising us to allow a few months for the treatment to take effect. However, instead of a reduction in termite activity, we observed an increase, prompting further calls for assistance.

    This is where our troubles truly began. The responsiveness and professionalism initially displayed by Terminix vanished when it came to follow-up service. We have made multiple attempts to address the increased termite activity, scheduling appointments for further inspections. These appointments have been repeatedly missed without explanation. Each time, I reached out to customer service, receiving no clear answers or solutions, just a cycle of rescheduling and ineffective escalations. This not only wastes our time but also prolongs the termite damage to our home.

    The situation has reached a point where the lack of accountability and effective response from Terminix has left us more vulnerable to termite damage than before their intervention. It is unacceptable for a company of this stature and specialty to display such a lack of commitment to their customers and their contractual duties.

    We are incredibly disappointed with the service provided by Terminix. We trusted them to help protect our home and they have failed to do so. This experience has not only resulted in wasted time and money but has also increased our stress and anxiety about the safety and longevity of our home. I urge potential customers to consider this experience when choosing a termite service provider. A company that cannot follow through on its commitments or provide timely solutions to escalating problems is not one that deserves your trust or your business. We expected far better from Terminix, and they have failed to deliver. Too long, didn't read summary: Terminix failed to control our termite problem; instead, it worsened. Repeated missed appointments and unhelpful customer service have left us frustrated. I would not recommend this service to anyone.

    We had a heat treatment done at our residence on March 5th, 2024. As a result of the heat treatment, there was damage to various vinyl fixtures, windows and recently installed vinyl plank flooring. Some of the damage was addressed, but not the flooring damage. I have called several times regarding this and nothing has been resolved yet. Due to the cost and extent that a large portion of the existing floor will have to be removed to be repaired, and the lack of response received so far, we are looking for at least a full refund of the cost of the treatment. $4200.00 I have contacted what I believe is our local Terminix location in Bakersfield several times, as well as the corporate toll-free number. Every time get the same answer, "Someone will contact you regarding this issue in 24 to 48 hours." It has already been several weeks.

    I scheduled an appointment with Terminix on 04/17/2024 to move some termite stations due to some landscaping taking place. I received a text message confirming the date and time slot. I took off part of the day from work to ensure I was at home during the scheduled time. Of course, no technician showed up. There was no phone call to let me know they wasn't coming. There was no text. No email. No nothing. I just sat at home waiting on Terminix who never showed up.

    I called about 30-45 minutes after the end of the scheduled time period to inquire what happened. The customer service rep attempted to call the service technician multiple times with no answer. She also attempted to call "cooperate" to make them aware of the issue so someone could help me. Of course no one answered the phone there either. So she submitted a ticket to them and told me they would get back in touch with me within the next 24 hours. That's been 2 and a half weeks ago and still no contact from Terminix. The customer service rep kept saying they would "make this right". Not sure what that means but it only got worse.

    This isn't the first time they have scheduled an appointment and simply didn't show up with no communication at all after I took time off of work to ensure I was here. Terminix absolutely sucks in customer service. They are very quick to get that annual renewal statement out to you each year to collect your money, but when it comes to showing up for service, they seem they could care less about you as a customer. Don't waste your time or money with Terminix. Choose someone else you can count on and who values you as a customer.

    I contacted Terminix for squirrel removal from my attic. A very nice man came out to access the problem and explained that there were 2 entry points from my roof and that a one way door would be need, gutters were slightly off (and could also be entry points) needed to be aligned, front of the attic would be accessed via crawl space and entry points closed off, 38 foot ladder (added to the bill) to access roof, all wrapped up in a 2 year contract that included all pest and wildlife removal. I only needed a squirrel removed from the attic. With a senior discount we were still at almost $2 grand.

    One tech showed up 2 day later with a “32 foot ladder” and a one way wire piece so that the squirrel could get out. I explained that I was led to believe that the job was much more extensive than one man with a ladder and a small wire door. He went outside and called his supervisor (25 mins) who I asked to speak with before hanging up and before I would allow any work to be done. Came back in and told me that I would get a call back but didn’t know when, probably tomorrow. I canceled the contract and went to Home Depot, met a man who referred Mark from Burton Wildfire Removal who came out the next day, set up 2 traps, came out 2 days later, removed the squirrel and her babies and saved me hundreds $$$$ of dollars in the process. I would NOT recommend Terminix. Careful because Googling Pest/Wildlife Removal will bring up what appears to be various companies with various phone numbers that are actually still Terminix.

    If you want the short, abbreviated version, do not use Terminix. They are dishonest and have an inability to do a professional job. Save yourself the hassle and use someone else. We contracted Terminix to remove all the insulation from our attic and close any holes on our exterior where they may be getting in. They gave us a quote of $19,000 to do the job. They were contracted to put 13 inches of insulation throughout our attic and close all of the holes around our house.

    They told me they completed the job, but when I checked, they only put half as much insulation and did not close most of the holes. We gave them an opportunity to correct the blatant effort to purposely be deceptive. They spent the next week not answering the phone until I filed a chargeback with my credit card company. If you made the mistake of already using Terminix for your insulation, go back and measure. It is supposed to be 13 inches, and I can assure you, it is not.

    We use Terminix for termite exams and they come once a year. They could do it without me being here. It seemed that the person who did it, which was a woman, did a very thorough inspection with taking the pictures, and they present them to me on the internet so I could review them. If they saw stuff piled against the house, they would suggest to not do that. Like firewood. But the good guys we get would move on to corporate level. I said, "That's not fair." But they made more money. The guys get a clientele that they serve. But I had two years when nobody came. I wasn't charged, but nobody came. And all of a sudden, they started coming again.

    The guy who supposedly came last year never came, yet he supposedly made a report, but he was never even here at the door. I refused to pay for it. I reported him. I said, "This gentleman is lying." I said I could tell when somebody's on our property. He might have been parked up on a hill and look with a telescope. They're supposed to notify me that they need to make an appointment. We already refused in February. Termites aren't active until it warmed up. And what good would that do? Nothing. I refused to do it. June, July, April. April was fine once the weather warms up. When the ants start to crawl around outside, I would know the termites are active as well. I didn't like the fact that they kept pushing it.

    The last time, they wanted almost 400-some dollars. That's the yearly fee on top of everything else. I pay a good amount just for whatever the treatment they do in the house. The house was thoroughly done before we bought it back in '81. Holes were put in the concrete block of the basement to treat. And it wasn't that they had active termites, but it was a preventative. Because this house was built in '51. But to get a loan and to sell our house, we have to have a current statement of termite activity or none or if it has been treated.

For the other two contracts, it's harder to get ahold of them. But when I do, they come and they're good. However, there's not a local number that you can call and you get people overseas. It would be good if they had a call center that's local and you could get ahold of them without jumping through hoops.

    I haven't even had the opportunity to work with Terminix yet because TWICE they have failed to show up for a scheduled appointment. TWICE I went through the Terminix website to schedule an appointment for them to come to my house for a free initial inspection and quote. I scheduled for a 6:00 appointment, that according to THEIR website was available. I even got an email confirmation for 6:00. A few days later, I am contacted by the pest control agent who said he couldn't make the 4:00 appointment. Yes, 4:00 appointment that I didn’t schedule. When I replied that I didn’t schedule for 4:00, I scheduled for 6:00, I didn't get any apology or even acknowledgement that it was an error on their part. I couldn't make 4:00 because of my work schedule and had to reschedule at that time.

    A couple weeks later, I tried again. I went through THEIR website and again picked 6:00 that was shown as available. Once more, after making the appointment, I get a text from the agent who said he couldn't make that appointment because his child was in a school musical. Hesitantly, I agreed to reschedule because I understand family commitments. I reschedule for the following week. He gives me a time of 5:00. I agree. So, the day arrives. I make sure I'm home from work by 5:00. He doesn't show up. 6:00, doesn't show up. I have another commitment at 7:00, which I cancel because agent STILL has NOT shown up or even reached out to notify me of his plans. I text him to see if he is coming. NEVER got any response.

    I have been a customer for several years now, with just the basic exterior pest control. I have been very happy during those years, with the spiders and other pests in our house now at a minimum, and our tech, Adam, is phenomenal! My issue is with a different employee and the customer service following an incident. I had an exclusion rep come out to investigate the attic after hearing some type of critters up there. This rep was not entirely truthful with myself and spouse, telling us that by signing up for a different plan, we would be getting more services but paying less money. Unfortunately, this was not the case. While the payment itself is lower, it is billed monthly rather than quarterly, resulting in paying more overall.

    When I called customer service to change back to our original plan, I was told that we would be charged a cancellation fee that was almost the same amount as continuing our contract. After getting nowhere with the customer service rep, I decided to submit a request online, which said I would get a response within 1-2 business days. It has now been a full week with no response. While I would like to continue being a Terminix customer, I do not feel I can continue doing business with a company that I do not trust to be honest.

I asked them that when they finish, before they leave, to let me know and to send me a report, but I don't remember getting the report. The price was also higher this year. It was 300 and something dollars. But the tech who came out was down to earth and very polite.

    Terminix was hired to tackle our subterranean termite infestation located in walls due to a shower valve leak. Bait traps were installed around perimeter of home and something was sprayed in partially opened up walls. Since then, we have had swarmers and more workers infest the bathroom. A month later we called to get someone to come out to explain why. Every call made is to a 1-800 number, there is no way to personally contact a manager. Every person ends call stating a manager will contact us in 24-48 hours. For almost a month, no call backs, no shows. Finally had 3 technicians come out to tell us they don't have the proper chemicals to treat and that it will now take multiple appointments to correct the issue.

    Finally made contact with a manager and he had no explanation for the no return calls. They just give you the runaround. Choose a local company that gives you a direct number so you can have clear communication. Trying to work with Terminix is frustrating, maddening and complete insanity that a company can treat customers like this. Conflicting information each time, prevention of contact, it's all shady business. Honestly not sure how they can still be in business. Take your hard earned money to someone else. The 3000+ complaints on the Better Business Bureau speaks volumes. Wish I read those all before wasting my time and sanity with them. I can go on and on and show emails demonstrating all the times we have been neglected. I've reported them to BBB and now the FL Dept of Agriculture.

    Updated on 03/29/2024: Terminix has horrible service. Would not recommend this service. I first contacted them on 3/16 for a fraudulent charge on my credit card. No one contacted me. I am now trying to just terminate my business relationship with them but have been unable to schedule someone to come pick up the termite devices. I received an email on the 25th that stated someone would contact me in 2 business days. As of the 29th I have not been contacted. I also received a response to a Consumer Affairs review on 3/26 that someone would contact me soon. I have not been contacted.

    Original Review: The Terminix technician that provides service to my house is very good. However, he can’t not help you if there is a problem with billing. Terminix billed me $2,970 by mistake. The billing call center has confirmed that it is a mistake. They have been very non-responsive in correcting their mistake. I would not recommend them for this reason. No one has even returned a phone call.

    We've had Terminix for a very long time. They did a great job doing all the treatments. After the initial one, we had one reoccurrence, where everything was retreated properly. We're happy with that. We've had two snowstorms this year. The tech came the day after we got a foot of snow. He never even came to the door, which my husband and I were home. He wrote on the thing that we weren't home. The front walk wasn't shoveled. So, how could he see around the front door? We had termites years ago. Never came into the house. So, I requested that it be reinspected sometime in the spring when there was no snow. We only have it done once a year. We haven't had any problems. We pay $400 a year. So, I wanted it inspected correctly. He did not do a good job.

    He's usually in the spring. But I have complained before because they had come out in the winter. And they came out again. So, I requested to put in my file not to inspect in the middle of winter. It was the same guy for a while that came. And he would come in and inspect where we had termites. It was in the basement downstairs. Not that we have any concerns, but it doesn't seem right that he would come the day after a snowstorm and say he inspected and no signs of termites. How could you see anything? There was snow all the way around the house. He didn't even walk around the house. Because we could see all the tracks that he did. All he did was walk into the backyard and went back up. Other than that, once we had an issue, Terminix was on top of it and took care of it properly.

    It's easy to schedule a service with Terminix. I just call the office and, within a matter of minutes, someone answers the phone and we go ahead and schedule. I recently had an extermination job done at my home and the Terminix technician who came out was pleasant. I've been working with this gentleman for a while and I have no complaints about him. The outside had ants and they were really bad. He said there were colonies, so he had to use a little more potent spray because a regular spraying wasn't doing the trick. But the ants keep coming back and we had a conversation about it. He said he'd go ahead and treat it, and if I continue to have an issue, to call him back.

    I had another experience with them when I had fleas. I had two cats and they were really infested. The techs came out, put this powder down, and sprayed this powder which disappeared. It didn't stay in the house. They were all suited up and we had to leave the house. We couldn't come back for a couple of hours. But they never had to come back for that issue and I was very pleased with that. Every time it's time for renewal, sometimes I don't want to renew because it's getting too expensive. But Terminix would come back and counter offer me. Then I'd continue to stay with them. As long as they can meet me halfway, I will continue to stay with them.

    Buyers Beware! Would give zero stars if I could. We were sold a wildlife exclusion policy due to "rats, squirrels, and raccoons" being in our attic per the sales tech. We were told that live traps and one-way doors would be used to properly remove the animals and they would not seal the attic till all animals were gone. The tech at the first visit sealed the attic and set mouse traps. A few days later when we smelled a dead animal it took 3 days, multiple unanswered phone calls, and a call to the corporate office to get a tech out to remove the dead animal. At that point, we mentioned the live traps we were promised and a few days later the tech came out to place a live trap in the already sealed attic. We then had a tech show up unannounced after I specifically gave the other tech my availability as I am unable to keep leaving work early for techs to spend 3 minutes to look at a trap.

    At this point, we had enough and called to cancel our policies only to get told we can't due to a financing agreement. A manager has talked to us once about looking into a refund for services that are not going to be completed as agreed upon but has never called back as he promised. We have had to call corporate multiple times and each time we get told they "escalated it to the managers" and we should "hear back in 48 hours" only to have to call corporate 48 hours later again because no manager has called us back and will not answer their phone. At this point, we don't want to pay over $3,000 for services not rendered but are stuck with no resolution. In 48 hours we will call corporate again for the same speech we have gotten the last 3 times we called. Choose a different company.

    Recently, Terminix came and checked everything out when we first contacted them. They made sure that there was no termite damage in the house and then planted the little traps for the termites and checked for the other bugs.

    My experience with Terminix has been good. I've been a long time customer with them, and I've had the same person doing the work almost all the time. Scheduling our service has been sometimes difficult because apparently, they schedule it on the internet, and I don't check the internet. I don't get an email. I don't get anything. Then somebody may call and say, “We're coming tomorrow,” and they know that I don't check their website to see and I don't get an email. So, that's been a little difficult sometimes because it's not convenient for them to come. My long term technician has always called me a couple of days in advance to let me know, and that was always helpful. We have a business account and a personal account, and it's been more difficult with the business account.

    My technician comes and sprays, and we chit-chat a little bit because I've known him so long. And if I can't do it that day, he'll make arrangements to spray the outside on the scheduled day, and then I will call him where he can come and spray the inside and when I will be here, so he's really accommodating. I was trying to get rid of roaches mainly, and I now don't have any. The spraying works. Back in the last year, my regular guy I've used for 40 years wasn’t able to come, and they gave us another guy to spray the house. What happened was he came in with a spray can. The other guy always had a little pump sprayer, and he would spray all around the house. I told this temporary guy, “Look. If that's what you're gonna use, I don’t want you to spray it.” He said, “Well, that's what they tell us to use.” But he left the house and came back a few minutes later with a pump sprayer and sprayed that way. That was what I wanted.

Yes, it is not cheap! The sales person, Travis ** was knowledgeable and professional. The crew came out twice for the exclusion service and to place mouse poison inside the house.

    Despite the service, I continued to see mice droppings and other evidence of mice in the house. I called Terminix and they came out again as part of the service. The rep inspected the mouse poison traps only to find that none of them have been touched. He then placed a different kind of mouse poison under the stove and left. Within a few weeks, the new poison under the stove was eaten and I saw a dead mouse under the stove, but it was dead and rotting causing an awful smell!

    No dead mice since from any of their 7 mouse poison traps, but Terminix failed miserably to solve my mice problem and to extricate the mice. I still see evidence of mice droppings in certain locations, i.e.,, under the stove, inside my baking utensil draw, by the refrigerator, etc. I even found a mouse in my bed on one occasion!! Finally, yesterday used a glue mouse trap and peanut butter and caught two mice within two hours. Terminix is a Total Waste of Money. Don't use Terminix!! They won't get rid of your rodent problem.

    I would like to ask the internet to see whether my unhappiness with Terminix was reasonable or not: We called Terminix for help to get rid of the minor ant problem at our house. They came to do a service on November 21, 2023, initial service charged $US281.79, and said that they would have a 3 month warranty, and to call them back if there was still ant problem. By mid January 2024, we noticed there were still ants coming into the house, and we called the technician back to deal with the ant issue since it was less than 2 months. The same technician did not come back right away, but came on Feb 8 to apply more ant baits etc, but never mentioned extra charge for his coming out to check on the persistence of the ant problem which they did not resolve with the first visit.

    Since he did not mention about the extra charge and I thought it was within the 3 month warranty period, I was shocked to receive a bill of US$172.99 (the amount they would charge for the subsequent quarterly service on contract). When I called the Terminix to ask about the charge, the lady on the phone said that she would ask the manager to call me back. But the manager never called me back. I called them again, and was informed that the manager already made up their mind that I would have to pay for the extra ant bait service without calling me back. They simply did not want to value customer's opinion and they would not keep their words of 3 month warranty and insisted that I would have to pay for ineffectiveness of their first treatment. The gentleman on the phone said if I did not pay, they would put into the hand of collection office. I felt threatened. So I asked to talk to someone about cancelling our service.

    The lady with the account cancelling department said the same thing that I needed to pay for the full amount even after I offered my compromise to pay half. so I said "fine, I don't like to deal with company that does not keep their words. I would pay the unreasonable charge, but please cancel my agreement". They agreed to cancel the contract and I paid the unfair charge right after the phone calls.

    I have no problem with our technician, he was a nice guy. I am just not happy to deal with Company that does not do what they say, does not value customer service, nor like to compromise. Normally, I don’t like to put negative comment on any business since it is hard to do business nowadays. However, in this case, I just felt very unfair and threatened from a customer point of view.

They told me that they would get ahold of the manager and have him call me. He never did so I had another appointment the next day. No one showed up again, so I just waited that out. I did then got another appointment for the next week. Still, no one calling me or anything. Again, even though they scheduled at this time, no one showed up. I then called them again and they called the manager. I then get a text message from one of their workers don’t even know if I was a manager saying they don’t do that service and sorry for the inconvenience. OK for number one they should’ve called me last week and let me know they didn’t do that. Or they should have more communication with each other on what they do and what they don’t do. And you want to say sorry for the inconvenience. Well I just missed three days of work. Thanks to this, and you don’t really seem to care that this happened do not use this company. That’s the best advice I can give you.

    We contracted with Terminix for a rodent exclusion. They were to identify and correct places rats are able to enter our house. They were to place traps and sticky pads in our ceilings and crawl spaces and return to check them within 14 days. The day they came to place traps, they informed us that they were out of traps so they put out sticky pads and said someone would be out to finish in a couple of days. The 14th day has come and gone and as of day 22 they have not returned. We called 4 days ago and asked to speak to the manager and again yesterday. They would not connect us but took a message. We have to think they do not plan to respond. We paid them $1,500. We are currently considering next actions since they have not dealt with us in good faith.

    Sometimes, we ended up calling Terminix to get scheduled rather than them calling us. In some cases, their left hand didn't tell the right hand what was going on. I had an emergency. I had to go to Texas. I called Terminix. My wife called Terminix and said, "Don't call my husband's cell phone anymore. Call our landline." But they kept on calling the landline. I dealt with the problem in Texas. I ended up calling my wife to get things straightened out with Terminix. How many times I gotta tell them? Call the landline, don't call the cellphone. It would be nice if they listened.

    Terminix did their last thing a month ago. We had bed bugs and we had to get rid of them. It took forever. We didn't know how bad bed bugs were. The minute we discovered them, we threw the mattress out. We thought the majority would be in the bedroom, but Terminix found them all over the house. They would find one or two, but eventually, gone.

    I reached out to Terminix because I needed a different system and group to get rid of a mice problem. I've had to call them to come out and the most recent time, I had messaged the tech to come out and get one that was in a trap. It's caught a couple. I had told the guy that I knew there was at least four because we had seen three and I heard of four. So, I knew there was at least four and I don't think he believed me because he didn't wanna put a trap one spot where I told him I had seen them and my son had seen them. He finally did. The first time there was one that got caught, I messaged him. He said he'd try to make it out. I messaged him again and said, "There's another. I need you to come out." He told me he wasn't sure if he'd be able to come out, but he did. Then the next time I called him, I said, "Hey, I have more." He came back out and he said, "I can't believe you have still more." I said, "I told you there was at least four."

    Scheduling that service was frustrating. When I signed up, they gave me their numbers and said to call them whenever, and they would get somebody out within 24 hours with no problem. But all the times that I've asked for them to come out, it's been a hassle. It's been, "I think I can come. I'll see what I can do" or the supervisor guy didn't even answer. Then I reached out to the guy who's supposed to come to my house, and he told me that he wasn't working that day. He'd come the next day. I was like, "Okay, fine. I'm not touching it because it's poison. I'm just gonna take my kids away from it."

    Then he didn't call. He didn't show up. I was like, "Hey, just checking. Are you still coming today?" He said, "Oh, my work truck broke down. I'll be there tomorrow." So, that was 48 hours and my husband ended up taking care of it. I told him, "You gotta get rid of this. This is ridiculous." I think the mice are gone. I just wish that the tech would have listened to me more from the beginning. I might not know how to get rid of them, but I knew what I was seeing. It was frustrating to be told that it could be this but probably not.

    The Terminix technician was here a little over a week ago. He gave proper notice, and he was on time and very professional. He treated the house, interior and exterior. He was really good and I was totally satisfied with his latest visit. Scheduling the visits is really easy. All you do is log in the website, pick a date, and they'll come out. Typically, they come out every two months for me. But if I need a treatment in between, all I do is log into the website, pick a date, and they generally have pretty good availability as far as time frames and the dates aren't too far off in the future.

    They also answer any calls I have quickly and they're very customer service oriented. Their technicians that come out here are always very nice and courteous. They ask me what I want them to do first. I have a crazy dog and I have to put the dog away for when they come. I have the dreaded German cockroaches and they're hard as heck to get rid of. But since I got Terminix, the roaches have greatly reduced. Terminix is doing the best they can, and they're keeping the roaches at bay. Terminix has a fair price and good service. There are lower cost alternatives out there, but you get what you pay for.

    Terminix would come out and do a very good job of making sure that what is in the house is people and what are out of the house are pests. With scheduling, everything went well. The tech gave us a call two days prior to him coming out, right before he came out as well when he was half an hour out from the house, just informing us when he was on his way. The tech checked everything that needed to be checked. He saw nothing specific that was happening, which is great. Checked the attic space as well. And we're doing fairly well. No issues with rodents. A year ago, I wouldn't have said the same thing because we still had issues with rodents. But now, we're clear and clean. The majority of the rodents were caught by myself. But Terminix caught a few of them. I have recommended them to friends in the past.

    On May 2023, I paid for the Terminix exclusion service, which cost more than $2,200, to seal my property in order to prevent rats from entering the home. I called Terminix every other week with continued rat issues and lack of technicians properly sealing the exterior of the house. This became such an issue that I lost tenants that lived in my property for two years.

    In November 2023, after countless calls and lack of proper service, I requested a cancellation and refund. The Terminix manager (Clearwater Office), Hector **, called requesting another chance to rectify the issues identified, which I accepted. He went to the property and made some minor improvements that did not fix the rat issue. Mr. ** didn’t have the decency to call or text me to inform me of the issues found during his visit, as promised. At this point, I canceled the service and once again requested a refund. From late November to beginning of January I’ve called Terminix to request an update.

    On January 11, 2024, I spoke with a Terminix representative that informed me that Mr. ** attempted to contact me on January 5, 2024, which was a lie, as I never received a text, call, or voice message from him. The representative mentioned that no refund would be provided. She highlighted that Mr. ** informed the company that a lot of work was performed and that my new tenants didn’t allow them to place traps inside the home (tenants have two children under 4). The problem wasn’t inside the home but several dozen openings that were never sealed, as paid for, by Terminix. Highly recommend not hiring Terminix for anything in the Saint Petersburg and Clearwater, FL area. I have several dozen pictures to show the all the openings Terminix never sealed. Terminix never asked for the pictures of course. I had to hire another company to properly seal the property. Within one week of the new service, we no longer had a rat issue.

I usually text them back immediately to tell them that I need them to be inside, too, But when the tech came when we agreed he'd come, he only worked outside. For him to do that and charge me that whole thing then miss the whole experience of what I need is ridiculous and redundant at this point. I'm also not pleased because Terminix keeps raising my amount and I'm not getting any real service.

    Right now, my concern is having roaches to the point that they are in every room. I have bought stuff, did stuff, sprayed stuff, and I cannot get rid of them. It would be one thing if we just had been working on this for a couple of months, but we've been working on this for over a year. They're getting into my Keurig, and crawling out of my dishwasher, my bathroom, and out of my nightstand. The tech said that there are certain things he could not do because it's against the law to spray inside the dishwasher and I understand that. But my question is, these squirts aren't doing anything and am I ever going to get rid of these roaches? They should have been gone by now. Other than that, I'm very comfortable with the tech and wherever I tell him to go, he'd go.

    The major issue that I usually have is ants once it starts to get warm. There are areas outside the house that, thank goodness, Terminix treats for because then I can keep them out of the house. They do treat for spiders indoor if I'm having a problem with them and I can let the technician know if there are any bugs that are out of the ordinary. The tech, Vance, is so helpful. He knows what things are so he can do the proper treatment. He would tell me to call him if I see pest activities again and he lets me know if the spray that he uses will treat and create a barrier to keep whatever I might see out of the house. If for some reason there's a conflict and the inside of the house needs to be treated but I won't be home or somebody can't be here, then he changes the schedule to come on a different day, date, and time.

    Most recently, I had a maintenance and treatment that Terminix does for outdoors and areas of concern. Vance told me the month that I'll be due again and to let him know ahead of time if there were any issues or if anything came up in between. If he was not the technician doing the work and providing the service, I would seriously consider going someplace else because my mother and my dog are familiar with him. There's a certain amount of trust you have to have with a person if they're coming in your house if you might not be there. But the nice thing is that Terminix has consistent service representatives that regularly come out. That's an asset when you're looking for pest control service, because then you know exactly who to contact when there is an issue and they've always been very quick to respond if, for some reason, there was something that’s pest-related that needed to be dealt with.

    Absolutely worthless and way overpriced. Customer service useless. They charged me almost $6,000 for attic insulation replacement for about 2,000 sq ft attic space because of a rodent problem about a year ago. We had just come back from a long vacation and work was busy. Also since it’s a rodent problem we wanted to get it done quickly, so I didn’t have time to ask or shop around. The insulation is supposed to be nonflammable but I tried and saw that the cheap insulation material they put can burn!!! They missed some of their follow up visits, too! Can you believe that? Every time I called them to raise and resolve my concerns they kept transferring me, eventually to a dead end. The insulation material was also supposed to be rodent repellent but after a year now, I am suspecting another rodent activity but I am not going to even try calling them anymore. Waste of time and money!! Avoid them! Especially for attic insulations.

    Terminix comes out once every two months. They do the outside, inside, and any other problems that I have. If I point out things that I noticed in the house, they take care of that. And they would recommend things as well. The techs let me know when they were done, and would advise me on what they've seen, any problems, or what they felt I need to take care of. I've had a very good experience.

    I was looking at prices for pest control on the internet and Terminix popped up first where it had an online estimate option which seemed very convenient for me instead of calling in. They made it easy for me to get their services. When they first came out, they were checking for bedbugs and they found some termite damage so they offered a service to do them. Every three months, they're supposed to do the outside and the last time they were out, maybe in October, they did the perimeter treatment. But the other times were a little bit more specialized. The termite treatment was a one-day thing and for the bedbug treatment, they came out and then there were two more appointments. The technicians have been great, very informative, super helpful and gave me the rundown and pictures.

    Terminix serviced a house of mine in Florida that's a rental property and did a great job. They had an ant problem and it went away. They've been out there more recently, but they're out there once every couple of months. The plan that we have is one visit every quarter, but they come out more when there's stuff going on. Terminix is great. It's is expensive but it's worth it.

    Completely unprofessional, undetectable and downright shady company I've ever dealt with. They don't come when they are supposed to but show up with no advance warning while you're at work. Trying to talk to their management is pointless. Just a low quality outfit all the way around. Would not do business with them.

    DO NOT RECOMMEND. I saw some termites in my garden in April. The rep came out and signed me up. I specifically told him I only wanted to treat the termites until the fall. We had a full discussion around it. I called in October to cancel and was told that I was locked into a year contract. It was then that I realized that they never sent me an email with my agreement to begin with - the people at Terminix could not find an email of it being sent to me either. I was also given login to my own portal with Terminix and found it odd that my agreement was not attached there.

    There are 3 different package options for termites on their website. I asked the young man on the phone what the difference is, and he told me it was based on my credit. Umm ok. I then called back a 2nd time and spoke to a women - she told me that I "signed up" for the preventative package and that is why I was locked into a year. She goes on to say that if I had termites when I initially called them, they would have just treated them and not signed me up for a year. I told her - I did have termites when I initially called and requested for them to be treated.

    Finally, I wrote a letter complaining and received a call from the branch. I was told that they would cancel my agreement and stop charging me. After the call, I received a confirmation email. That was October. I was still charged for service in both November and December. I called today to ask for a refund and was told that even though my agreement was cancelled that I would still be charged until they removed the bait stations from my yard. How is this possible or fair? Terminix has had 2 months to come out to remove these stations and have chosen not to do so - yet I am being charged? So basically, they can decide to never remove them, so I have to continue to pay? This place is so fraudulent, it is unbelievable. Absolute liars and thieves.

    When I first started with Terminix, the rate was $99. But now it's 159 every time they come out. I can understand that everything is going up and I don't know how long I'll be able to keep the 159 every three months or whenever they come. But we like their services so we'll keep doing it unless we can't afford it anymore. The techs are very, very polite, and they do what I tell them to do. They're very helpful. The pest activity has gotten less. The only thing that we get a lot of is mice. But they give us the hotels and we get them, and then they're gone. We also have had less spiders around the house.

    I hired Terminix to get rid of a cricket issue. I have inside my home they claimed they would be able to get rid of an infestation of crickets within a week did not have an infestation, but there was activity so when I called them, they came and put down sticky traps and they sprayed in all the areas three weeks later I was still having the same issue so I called him back he came. He sprayed again put down a few other sticky traps and three months later still dealing with the same issue so when I called them back, I called them back two months later and booked an appointment on the day of the appointment. No one showed up and when I called them, they told me that the service manager canceled the appointment because my 30 day service was expired which no one ever told me that I had a 30 they expiration.

    On top of that no one ever called me to tell me that my appointment was canceled so I sat and waited all day and no one showed up on top of that. I had several calls into the service manager and the corporate office and no one ever called me back a big rip off company, don’t waste your money on them.

    Our tech, TJ, is very friendly. He is great. Terminix normally tells me when they are coming. The last time I pointed out anything was back in the summer to check for wasps because I'm allergic to them. The tech went around and took something underneath the gutters. It looked like a giant Q-Tip. Terminix isn't the cheapest pest control out there, but you get their undivided attention. When I went with pest control, I went with someone with deeper pockets and the guarantee that if something did happen to the house with termites, they would not only fix the termite problem but they would replace any damage that happened to the house. I've also had Terminix do my encapsulation. They did my gutter guards and my insulation. They came and took all the old with a great big vacuum and vacuumed out all the old insulation and put in the new insulation.

    I liked Terminix for the price. I had two experiences with them - one with the actual termites and one with spraying for mosquitoes. With the mosquitoes, they come monthly during the summer and warmer months. With the termites, they come whenever I call them. They’re very good and there aren’t any pest activity. The termites are gone and hopefully, it'll stay gone. Give Terminix a try.

    I've had Terminix for a long time. Years ago I used to have an ant problem and I called them. I haven't had an ant problem since. Terminix usually notifies me beforehand for service and they may give me a call. The technicians come to the door and they tell me they're there. I let them do their thing. Afterwards, they will give me a report and maybe some pictures. It all goes smoothly. They might have found a spider here and there, but I don't have any major problems. Terminix has been good.

    Terminix came to our house to assess a possible termite problem the first week of May 2023. Their consultant looked over the house and noted possible problem around concrete stoop at front door (no other problems). He advised injection of chemicals in stoop area and termite bait traps around other areas. We carefully discussed where NOT to place bait traps due to buried water lines! A technician came a few days later to drill into stoop and inject chemicals. After making holes in the concrete he discovered that the chemical compressor was not working and he would return with a working compressor in a few days, but I reiterated not to place bait traps unless I was there.

    My wife and I had to leave town. When we returned we found bait traps placed in an area I specifically said to avoid. Also, we found a bait trap in our backyard on its side, not even in the ground. Of course, when we turned the water on we quickly saw that one of the incorrectly placed bait traps had punctured the water line and was pouring water into the yard and sidewalk area. Fortunately, we were able to turn off that particular water line.

    I called the local Terminix office but I soon found out that all local numbers are directed to a central answering system throughout the U.S. I was told someone would contact me within 24 hours to arrange a repair. Had this occurred I would not be writing this scathing review. After another few calls I was told to get it repaired and I would be reimbursed and the poorly placed bait traps would be properly located.

    I had the repairs done and then a local supervisor came to the house to see what had happened. He determined that the bait trap not placed in the ground in the back of our house was not needed so he took it with him. I showed him the damaged section of pipe that had to be replaced and he said to email the paid bill for water line repairs to him and he would see that it was processed. (This was July 5, 2023). He also mentioned that the person who placed the traps and injected the chemicals had been fired for incompetence. My last attempt to communicate with this supervisor was on 8/10/2023. Still no response. I called and talked to another out of town person in a call center. Again I was told an area supervisor would contact me in a few days.

    On August 25, 2023 I was informed during one of my calls, that the supervisor who came to my house in July is no longer employed by Terminix. Another area supervisor did make contact with me the middle of September. He found the repair bill I had paid and he would send it immediately to be processed. He also said a tech would be out soon to move the improperly placed bait traps. (That was done the first week in November). I have been told several times that the request for reimbursement was placed and approved on September 18, 2023, but I have received nothing as of today November 30, 2023. I presume the check is "lost in the mail".

    And through all of this, Terminix has been charging my VISA card a monthly fee to support their protection plan. They are more than eager to take money from me, yet are loathe to pay me for the damages their technicians caused on my property. Terminix is lacking in basic business integrity. How do they select their employees such that three of those who worked with me are no longer there due to incompetence? They refuse to take responsibility for the actions of their employees. I do have over 34 documented contacts with Terminix with dates and names from 6/5/2023 when the broken water line was discovered through November 3, 2023. Isn't this too long to wait? FYI the repair bill was $101.33 and Terminix charges me $118 monthly. I urge anyone who seeks termite assistance to avoid Terminix.
