Terminix has been polite and helpful and easy to deal with. Their representative was kind during the scheduling of the service. Also, their technicians got their own time and they were describing what they were doing. They were very good at it. Their service was for roaches and it worked for us. Even though we really still see just a few, the difference is really big. My mom is really happy about Terminix.

Terminix always did what they are supposed to and takes care of the job. I'm real pleased with their service. They just call me and tell me when they're going to do it. The person that came was real friendly, real nice. If you need something done, he'll do it for you. If you wanted to spray for bugs or put a bait in any certain place, he will. I've seen one or two bugs since the last service but I think my neighbors keep spraying and run them back over our house.

Terminix has done a good job, and that's what I tell other people. Their technician, a nice guy, did a good service. He was the same man who sprayed my house six to eight times.

As a retiree, I am dissatisfied with continued increases in your costs. The first major increase I was told was to offset fuel costs. There have been continued unexpected and unexplained cost increases. As noted earlier, I am retired and on a fixed budget. I think it would be nice if longstanding customers whose circumstances have changed could be accommodated to some degree.
Donald, Thank you for sharing your feedback! We will use it to improve our service.

I was not at home when Scott from Terminix came. He said that I had a lot of spiders and since the visit, I don't have as many as I did before though I do notice some wasps and hornets. On all occasions, these guys were fine. They're very professional and I had no problems.

Let me say that the first service from Terminix was great. Had zero issues and the ants inside were taken care of. For the quarterly service, I received a phone call stating to make sure I was home during the appointment, which was good because the ants were back inside. I took 5 hours off work and the tech never showed or called. I called and got no reason, just a $25 credit (glad to see my 5 hours off gets me $25). We rescheduled for a week later after my work hours.
The following day, I got an emailed invoice for my quarterly service. It said he removed cob webs from windows and sprayed. There was no yard sign and I clean my windows on a regular basis. I called immediately and asked what happened and that I needed inside treatment. They agreed to keep the app and come out---nobody showed. Still had ants inside. I called again and had to go through everything again with three different people, kept getting transferred. They had no resolution and could only say they were leaving voice mails on the regional manager's phone, so I canceled the service. Now they are trying to collect for a service that did not get rid of the ants.
I called after I got a statement and they said the guarantee is no longer valid since it's past 30 days. I canceled the service within 1 day of the second missed appointment. The person I talked to was zero help and would not transfer me to anyone else. She offered half off, but why should I pay for something that didn't work. She had to go ask someone to give me half off, but then said she was the top person and nobody else could help me. Who did she talk to then to offer half off??? It was like talking to a brick wall. She then proceeded to tell me it would go to collections and on my credit if I don't pay. I feel like I am out of options for something that is totally unfair. The first service was good and I paid in full. I have no problem paying for something if it is a fair value.

Zachary was the first man who went to our house. He was super nice and conscientious. When he saw some bugs within two weeks he came back and sprayed again. We're well pleased with him. The other gentleman who last came was not very good as he went down spraying the wall. He wasn’t thorough about checking and was haphazard so we're very unsatisfied. The other experiences were good as we did notice that our bug and spider problem was okay. My husband's in the hospital in Dallas so we haven’t made connections and I needed Terminix to have us scheduled as I've seen some bugs and it's time for a re-spray. I had an appointment with them before but they never showed up so I don't know what's going on.

I've had problems with spiders and bugs, and Terminix took care of it which is so far, so good. The most recent experience with them was good, but I've had some bad experiences in the past and I canceled one contract with them because they wouldn't do what I asked them to do. To schedule a service, they would call me or send a letter that they were coming at a certain time. I canceled one contract that I had with them because they wouldnt cooperate with me. I told them that I had to go over to this house and unlock it; I couldn't go on a moment's notice because it was 20 miles away. They didn't call me, they went over and sprayed the outside, so I canceled it.

I called Terminix because we had some fleas. The flea was probably brought in by my son. He went to somebody who had horses so that was probably on his clothes. But when the Terminix guys came out, they only did the outside because I didn't realize that I was going to have to be out of the house for four hours. Nobody explained that to me and I baby-sat. I was not prepared for that so they sprayed the outside. We don't have flea problem anymore even though they only sprayed the outside.
The technician who came was a brand new one. He filled his tank up with my water because he didn't get a chance to do that where he's supposed to. I was a bit upset and I don't appreciate that. It wasn't that big amount of money but no one had ever done that before. For future reference, they should be reminded to do it the night before. They know they were supposed to do that. After all, I've been with Terminix for several years. We're pleased because they do come out if I need extra. They came when I had roaches in the house, and we don't have that problem anymore. Right now I need to have them come back because I'm getting more ants.

Terminix used to bug me all the time about having termite control and I said okay, I'll do it. I did it for a year. Terminix doesn't keep appointments, I will stay at home from 9:00 until 12:00, but then they never show up. They did that to me three times. I can do without the hustle and I cancelled it. I don't have termites now and I don't have the contract any longer.

They did a service and then a little bit of rain, and we had an outbreak of ants. They came out no charge and took care of it. Real happy with them. The pest activity is marginal since the service. I haven't seen anything since as far as ants go. Some of the critters we're seeing they're going to show up even if you spray. It just don't stay around long like silverfish. Also because this is Houston and we have serious humidity problems. Overall, they're prompt, courteous, and professional.

Terminix sent a bill for services not provided. I contacted them on several occasions requesting a date of service and copy of signature for service. No one could provide either. The local manager called and spoke with my son and agreed that no service had been provided due to lack of access (locked gates). I assumed this had been resolved at this point. Now, this bill for $85.60 has shown up on my credit report! I will be contacting an attorney about this. I will not be forced to pay for a service not provided.

The new manager has come by to inspect our property and had immediately said that he would have our policy, that was previously canceled, reinstated. The local Terminix office said the policy was canceled due to non-payment. I told him that the policy was not paid because we were still waiting for someone to do the annual inspection.
Although we received an email saying that the property was inspected, no one came out. We would have had to be notified to gain entry to the property. This manager's common sense approach and belief that efforts to help the customer helps the company is appreciated. It is sad that workers maintain "the customer is a problem" mentality, that makes customers find another company. This is what makes managers valuable to a successful operation.
Original Review: Oct. 19, 2015
We signed on to Terminix's termite plan in 2003 after initially having our houses fumigated. Each year we were sent an invoice to keep the Termite plan in effect. An annual inspection is scheduled every year when the billing is sent out. The invoice is sent out about February-March and the inspections is usually done by April or sometimes May. Years back we got the invoice, paid the bill and no inspection after several months and several calls. When the inspector finally came out they said "don't pay the bill until they come out to inspect". This year, we got the invoice about the same time as every year. We received a call in May stating that someone is going to come out to inspect for termites. No one came. We called and the office said they would send someone out. We waited and several months went by and just recently found out the policy was canceled. Upon finding out the policy was canceled, I called and was passed to the local office in Maui.
Renee admitted they had a work order showing the property had been inspected, but also admitted that they cannot show anyone came out. I explained that I have been with this program a long time and was advised by their own personnel that I should pay the bill after it gets inspected due to some internal conflicts. I asked her if someone could just come out to do the inspection and we could pay the bill. She said we can have as many inspections as we want 5, 6 or more. I told her that someone usually comes out about April May and the invoice gets paid.
She was argumentative and said that it was too late for that. I asked to speak to her boss. She told she would notify him and hung up. I got her email address and tried to send the information to her, but the email was rejected. I am told that this Terminix location is going through its 11th manager. So it seems this is an easy way to collect premiums each year and then dodge having to honor the policy when the presence of termites reoccur.

I've dealt with a pest problem for years. I transferred my Terminix service from Hawaii to Texas to Virginia. The representatives are friendly and flexible with what my timing issues were. My biggest concern is that they just send an automated voice message letting me know a day or two in advance that they're coming out, which I really don't like. I have to go through a big phone tree to get to somebody and it's pretty inconvenient. So sometimes I have to cancel the service or reschedule because it's such a short notice.
The technicians are friendly and they do their job. They go around and spray their stuff and explain what's going on. I show them wherever the ants or insects and they try to get rid of them. They've taken care of the pest activity in my home. Back when I was in Texas, the spiders kept coming in. They needed to do something about the spiders. They did a good job in Texas and in Virginia. I haven't seen any ants since the day they left and the day afterwards. But in Texas, the fire ants just kept moving their ant nest around the yard. It's hard for them to take care of the fire ants.

I have a one year contract with Terminix. My house was full of wasps. After waiting for 4 days for someone to come out, the problem was still not resolved 2 days after treatment. Now I have to wait another 6 days for someone to come out and respray. Customer service was horrible. Not a single person I talk to cared in the least about the problem. In fact one woman was just downright rude. I was told numerous times branch manager would contact me to schedule an earlier appointment and he never did. In the meantime I've been stung by a wasp and I'm praying that my 8 year old daughter will not be because I don't know how she will react.

Scheduling a service has been fine. Terminix had someone come out and pick up a mouse trap that had been left here because the other technician was supposed to pick it up and they never did. Someone else came out and picked it up. He was a really nice guy and seemed to know what he was doing. I would like to stick with the same person. I really liked him.
We had some issues because the first person that came out according to everyone else, sprayed too much and wasted the product. I had another guy come out who apparently, while he was doing his job, dripped all over my house, all over my floor and everything. I have three boys, 1, 4 and 7. The 1-year-old crawls everywhere so that was a little unnerving. I guess he's not working there anymore. But the last guy that came out was probably the best one of all and he was really sweet. So if we could have him every time, that would be great. So I've had an interesting experience. That's the service that we paid for and I want it to be done correctly everytime from here on out and not have any other issues.

Please please please whoever reads this do not use Terminix. First we paid almost a grand for a small two bedroom house to get rid of the bed bug problem. A day after they sprayed there was a bed bug on me I found and put in a bottle to show the guy but the guy said "No. It takes a couple days for them to die so you will see them still." After the month warranty was up they didn't care. They collected their money. It seriously would be cheaper just to get rid of the furniture. Here we are now already paid a grand and still are in the same position we were at before. Terminix is a horrible company. Don't use them!!!

I've been using Terminix for about 10-15 years. I can't say that it was any different than any other time that I've used them. I liked John, the man that did it before, but he quit the company. It's a new man, but he seems to do a good job. I have had a few flies and a few bark beetles, but I haven't had any for a long time because they've been coming periodically and taking care of it.

It was very easy to schedule for a service call with Terminix. Also the technician they send, a very personable young man, was super, as always. He tells me what he's going to do and if I have any concerns, he goes with me to the spot, checks it out, and explains it to me. He then either sprays the area or tells me what I can do about it. It has improved so much since availing of Terminix' services. Every once in a while we'd get an ant, but as long as we keep up the service, the spiders are non-existent.

I had seen an advertisement on TV so I said "let me give Terminix a call". I don't have any problems getting a guy to do the job. The guy sprayed the inside of the house and a little bit on the outside too. He put down what they call rat traps, but they're not doing any good. He didn't spray for spiders as well, so I didn't think that I got the service that I saw was advertised. Nevertheless, I'm still recommending them. After all, the guy might have had a bad day then, and we can still correct things the next time he comes.

I have used Terminix for about 5 years now. For the first few years we had no problems with them. The guy who treated our property was very nice and helpful. We did always need to call before the 90 days was up but he would come treat the yard and the problem would be resolved. That changed a couple of years ago. We started having to constantly call for extra treatments and would find pests only days after a treatment. It just didn't seem to be working as well. The employee who treated my yard for years always put some type of pellets or something in my lawn that would help kill bugs when we watered the lawn. No one does that anymore and we always have problems with ants etc. in the grass.
Now we are having a serious tick problem. We have had the yard sprayed 3 times now and the house treated twice. Both times the house was treated it only took a couple of days before we would end up finding a tick. Today the yard was sprayed for the third time and I noticed he only sprayed certain areas. I asked him to spray everywhere but he didn't. I'm thinking that has to be part of the problem. How can we be tick free if the yard is only getting spot treated? Why do they guarantee me that the ticks will be gone each time and they never are?
The employees who come to spray are always very nice but I'm done believing them that they can solve the problem. This has been going on for a month now. This isn't okay. Ticks are disgusting. The yard is so bad that even on Frontline plus my dogs get ticks on them. The yard has to be controlled. This is a health hazard. I'm not sure why the service used to be good and now is no longer effective. We have decided to cancel the service and use someone else.

On SEPT 10th, Terminix was to tent my home, deck, garage and studio between 3-5PM. They finally showed up at 8PM only after I called and asked for a status. I gave specific instructions to lock all doors and driveway gate when done because a neighbor was burglarized the same day (they were having their tent removed as ours was going up). The crew left my driveway gate entirely open, did NOT lock the front door, garage, or studio door. I called our local police department and asked if a patrol unit can circle the area. The police kindly obliged and luckily, our home was not burglarized.
After carefully double bagging and packing food and even toiletries in the bags provided, the Terminix crew decided to remove packed items from the refrigerator and put them in the garage refrigerator which is substantially smaller. Since the items did not fit, the crew used masking tape to close the freezer which after (3) days of being cracked open, condensation leaked everywhere leaving puddles of water, water damage to cabinets and boxes nearby and all food items needed to be tossed out.
When removing the tent over the house and deck, the reckless crew pulled the tent so abruptly that all patio furniture was tossed, scratched, and flipped upside down. The pergola we professionally had installed and bolted to our deck was also scratched and loosened as a result of the crew's lack of care for our property.
Since our less than capable Terminix representative that inspected our home neglected to note that the garage is adjacent to our neighbor's wall, he failed to get the neighbor's written consent allowing the crew access to their property. When a crew member knocked on the neighbors door at nearly 9PM in the evening asking if they can enter their backyard to drop the tent - our neighbors declined, and rightfully so. Without advance notice from Terminix or at least a courtesy call from us, and after hearing that another neighbor's home was burglarized that day, why would they want anyone on their property? Therefore, Terminix still charged us to tent the garage and studio even though the job was not completed.
I immediately called Terminix to advise them of the property damages incurred and that only half of the contracted job had been completed. I received no response for over 2 weeks. Another local representative came to our home to review the property damage and assured us restitution. On the 3rd week, another crew finally came out to tent the garage and studio. When the tent was removed, they broke our garage flood lights. I've called Terminix 10-12 times and have spoken with the local office, liaison specialist, executive services, and corporate headquarters. I have yet to find any sort of resolution. Instead, I keep getting passed along to another useless representative who assures me someone will contact me 48 hours. It's been 5 weeks.
I strongly urge future customers to use another vendor. Terminix has provided horrible customer service. Save your money, avoid the property damage and frustration, go with someone else.

We signed our paperwork electronically in August after our inspection in July. We had emailed our salesperson's Terminix email account multiple times with no answer. Finally he touched base with us after we called the main Terminix number. He said that his work email wasn't working and asked that we use his personal gmail account.
On 9/12, Don ** came to the house. He put stickers in the house. He told us that he did not have his auger (four people are sharing one auger according to him) so he could not put in the green stations (I asked if there were other colors - and was told there are not). He said that he would be back within a week. I called Terminix on 10/10 - a month later - and the service representative said that it was strange that the stations hadn't been installed and she would send someone on Monday to do the job.
On Monday, that technician called me to tell me that he was running late for my inspection. I explained that I did not need an inspection - I had just had one of those. I needed the green stations. He said that I would have to wait and see if I got the stations after his inspection (Argh!) - He then sent me an email after his inspection (still don't have the green stations) telling me that I was eligible for the inspection plan. I KNEW THAT ALREADY - I needed the green stations. That was why I had called Terminix!
I called again and was told to contact my salesperson because he should never have told me that I was going to get the green bait stations - but I specifically said that was what I wanted when he came to our house the very first time in July. I tried again to reach Don to no avail. I told him that without the green stations - I'd need to cancel immediately. I called to cancel tonight and had to leave a message.

If we see anything, like ants, they come back right away and take care of the problem. Services are automatically scheduled and when I look at the online billing, they automatically show me the next time they'll be out, which will be on the 20th of December.
Their rep asked questions about what we needed and what we thought we needed, was friendly and did his job well. One time we sent a request because my daughter thought she saw some insects in her bedroom when she was visiting, but I didn't think she did. So a guy from Terminix came in, checked everything out, and sprayed as necessary inside the house. Generally, they do the circumference of the house. Since their last service, there haven't been any pest activity.

Many people will write reviews when dissatisfied but not as many with compliments. So I just wanted to write a compliment for Terminix and their Holland, Michigan area representative. What I experienced was a rep that was professional, knowledgeable, thorough and efficient. I will call him “J” and he was polite, helpful and solved my problem. So I would recommend Terminix if you are in this area. Thanks J.

Since Terminix left, our ant problem reoccured. I thought that I would not need to call them back because the problem was going to be solved after they came and did what they needed to do. But the ants came back, probably because of the rain. But overall, we had a great experience with them.

We use Terminix for both our houses, and we have no complaints at all. This whole time, they have been doing great. We love them. We're satisfied with them for various reasons. They always call us before they show up. They're always on time. They're clean and neat. They do a wonderful job, and if they missed something, we'd call them and they could come back.

My experience with Terminix has been good. I called them and a guy came out to do all the rooms like I asked him to. And I'm really pleased because I'm finally getting rid of my roaches. When my ex-husband had left trash bags in the back room without lids, with food on the floor, this place was overrun and I didn’t know what I was going to do. But it's way better now after I got Terminix out here. They really did a good job.

We were selling our home and it was in escrow. We required an escrow clearance, so I called Terminix. I have had a home termite warranty with them for the five years I have owned the home. The inspector came out on June 16th and inspected my home. He found an area on a patio cover beam where he suspected live termites were inside. He poked it with his pen and the wood caved in and he reported to my wife that there were live termites and that it would have to be reinspected.
When I spoke to him on the phone he said that insects poured out of it when he was inspecting it. Weeks went by and I did not receive a report. I called several times and waited on hold for 20-40 minutes at times. They always said they would call my local office and they would get back to me. They never did. I finally just drove into the local branch and spoke with a manager. I told him I needed my report. He said that it looked like the whole house needed to be fumigated and that repairs would need to be made. I told him that I was closing escrow soon and needed the repairs to be honored by the warranty. He said that there is no way he would be able to repair the house within the next 30 days; that they were way too busy. He also said that he needed to go back to inspect the property himself to make sure that it really was infested. He said it would be a couple weeks or so before he could do that.
After begging him, he said he would come back in just two days! After he came back, again it was this non stop calling them to get the termite report. After an entire week of calling, I received a report. The report noted termite damage in writing where the original inspector showed my wife and I, but on the home drawing on the report, they called it fungus. It was obvious the damage was not fungus. After arguing that point, he changed his story and said that there were no *live* termites, so they would not honor the warranty but did say all the noted damage would have to be repaired in order to receive an escrow clearance. Because their refusal to repair the house, I opted to have it repaired by a licensed contractor at a cost of $1900.
I have called them recently and the manager called me back and said he would talk to the inspector. They never called me back. I just want to be reimbursed for the repair I had to pay for, which my warranty should have covered. I used Terminix for other services like ant and spider pest control and the service was always great, but I am so terribly disappointed with the way they have treated me when I counted on them to honor their warranty.

I have a regular service with Bernard from Terminix. He comes whenever I call him and he does what I ask him to do. He did an excellent job in the most recent one. I've had two monstrous roaches and they're dead now, but I would like for the roaches not to come in. In general, Terminix responds very quickly to what I ask them to do, but the scheduling of service was difficult. I have asked for a Wednesday morning service call, between 8 am and 1 pm, and I was getting that constantly. Then all of a sudden, I started not being able to get it. They told me they were not available. I've gotten that same schedule back, but I've had a headache with the change.

4/26, I noticed what to be one of my worst nightmares - a bed bug scurrying across a bed in my home. After calling a few pest control companies the very next morning, Terminix was the one that could come out the soonest to assess the situation and advise us of our options. In a panic, we signed an agreement totaling $850 to treat our home for bed bugs. He Quoted us $550 for the infested master bedroom and $300 for 2 non-infested bedrooms. The salesman by the name of Greg ** gave us his thorough explanation of how to prepare for the treatment, and we did as such the night before our Rapid Freeze treatment that took place the next day. The morning of 4/28 the technician named Victor showed up to my house door 5 hours LATE! He came in started looking at where the infestation was in the master bedroom, then he went down to his van.
15 mins later he literally brought up a beat up tapped up tiny hand vacuum and a white spray can. He vacuumed the back of the headboard, said it was very minor, sprayed it & pushed it back against the wall. THAT'S IT!!! NEVER LOOKED AT THE OTHER ROOMS, NOTHING. HE NEVER EVEN LOOKED ANYWHERE IN THE MASTER BEDROOM ITSELF. My contract stated that I have a 5-day follow-up appointment scheduled on 05-4-2015 that of course no one showed up for!!! I called and called and called the sterling location, left messages, no one called me back, no one came back for the 5-day follow-up appointment NOR the 30-day follow-up appointment per the agreement terms stated on the contract given to me by Mr. **. Called customer service, was on hold for 48 mins, got transferred 3x times then got hung up on!
He made several comments about how we went above and beyond to prepare for the treatment and how clean we keep our home. NOW I didn't get the rapid freeze treatment that I was I supposed//told and signed/paid to be getting. Never had scheduled follow-up appointment on 5/4 per agreement. Treatment didn't work because ended up with bed bugs AGAIN. Have $850 BILL IN COLLECTIONS. CAN'T SEEM TO FIND SOMEONE TO TALK TO ABOUT THIS IN THIS COMPANY! Tried to reach out the resolution department, was told I need to speak with the sterling location manager which is Gregg ** (that signed me up), how crazy is this!!!
Please, do your research on different pest control companies before you utilize Terminix for the treatment of bed bugs. This has turned our lives completely upside down, and it's like all these salesman/supervisors/technicians care about is getting your money. Is this being dragged out so long just so we'll continue to have to pay more and more? If so, I can guarantee we will NOT spend another penny with Terminix.

Be aware: I feel like I've been scammed since day 1. First, I went against my better judgment when I chose to ignore some negative feedback from other Terminix consumers online (big mistake!!!). The initial scheduling was a nightmare, no call backs, to promise to call back and then a technician showing up at my door unannounced the day before my wedding. Desperate to rid my home of these pesty bedbugs after the honeymoon, we gave Terminix a try attributing the previous scheduling horror to holiday craziness (we initially contacted them around July 4th holiday).
I've had 4 treatments since 7/24/15 with the technician only showing up on time within his scheduled time slots only once. On 3 occasions he rushed through my home after getting there late so quickly that I thought he was on a timer. He was in and out within 15 minutes (treating a 3 bedroom apt.). Then the last visit he acted surprised to still see activity after I complained to management. I had a bed bug follow-up service appointment scheduled for today 10/7/2015 from 1pm-3pm. Technician was a No Show and No Call!!! It is now near the end of my 90 day service, I refuse to accept this treatment.
I've been consistently contacting the office due to the handling of my service since 7/24/2015, I am completely frustrated with poor service. I'm continuing to experience bed bug activity and I'm not satisfied with the $1200.00 bed bug treatment service thus far. I would like adequate treatment to resolve this issue or a full refund due to lack of inability to deliver contracted service promised.

After discovering a small amount of bed bug activity in one of our kids bedrooms we did research and decided to call Terminix. They quickly sent out a Senior Field Inspector who confirmed that's what they were, and then sold us a written contract that described the very thorough treatment that included disassembling the frames and RapidFreezing them to kill all the bugs. We had our initial treatment Sept 16 and continued to have live activity every day after. They were notified of this and came to retreat 10 days later. We showed the technician all the bugs where we had dated and labeled what we had found so he retreated and left. We still noticed activity in the one bed after so he came back the following week to retreat and found adult live bugs while he was there.
He simply swept them up with a vacuum sprayed a bit with a pump sprayer and left saying he could only give us "the best treatment he could for the time he was scheduled". An hour later I tore the bed down and found piles of eggs in the joints of the bed. I contacted Terminix and e-mailed photos. It took 3 days and multiple phone calls from my end before Jason the service manager called me back. He informed me that they never disassemble the beds for treatment. But after I informed him it is in writing in their contract that they would, he agreed to bring tools to do it and be there at 10am the next morning. At 9am the next morning Jason called me to inform me that his boss was refusing to allow him to disassemble the frame so they would be refunding my money and again kept repeating that even though it is written into the contract that they will perform this service it is something that they never do.
I called executive services to inform them that I was sold a contract for a service that the branch admittedly never completes and that this was blatant fraud. But they said even though the branches are owned by corporate and all employees are corporate employees they cannot force a branch to honor the contract. It is my personal opinion that fulfilling these contract that are being sold is not in the best business interest for Terminix. As by not disassembling the frames as they are contractually obligated to do, there is a good likelihood that eggs will be missed causing the bed bug life cycle to continue which then they can continue to charge to treat.
While my money is supposed to be returned, all the people who purchased contracts that state their bed frames will be disassembled and did not receive this service should be notified. This is a harmful to the consumer financially and to the general public health as people believe they got the proper treatment that they were sold. But by Terminix's own admission nobody received the full treatment they paid for. The whole situation has been very upsetting to our family and it is shameful that a company would act in such a manner.

I have had Terminix for over 10 years for termite protection and early on also used them for an insect issue with good results. I received notice of the annual inspection scheduled for today and went ahead and rearranged my schedule to ensure that they would get to the inside of the house because there's an area in the basement that I wanted looked at. Shortly before the 2 hour window was up I called to get a sense of where the tech was, very polite service agent passes me along to someone else who tries to call this technician and is unable to get him so assures me that his manager was informed and will call me back in 5. 45 minutes later haven't heard from either so I call customer service again and let's just say my hold time was significantly longer as I was passed along again.
Held for another 10 plus minutes only to be told that again no one can get in touch with Jason and his manager is being informed. Really no cellphone, no voicemail. 2015 people, not the dark ages. It's now almost 5 hours outside of the scheduled time and no one has seen fit to contact me, a complete disregard for customer's time and loyalty.

Cancelled their service after they lied to me twice in 4 days. First off their rep promised an initial treatment by the Tuesday that was coming up. Tuesday came around and nothing. Called them about an hour after the promised time to ask. They told me the computer showed I was scheduled for Thursday. I told them the situation was quite serious and I really needed the treatment asap. I explained that I accepted the service because I was promised a Tuesday treatment. They seemed willing to help and assured me someone would be out either later that day or Wednesday. I gave my callback # and they said they'd call me to confirm the rescheduling. No one called and by Wednesday night I called again. Their agent said he didn't see anything on the notes as far as rescheduling. So I went ahead and cancelled the service. Why not just say you can't reschedule? Why pretend like you care about the customer's situation? This was on September 3rd.
To this day I haven't received a refund after they somehow had the "wrong address" on file. So according to them they have sent my refund check to the wrong address 2 times. After the first time they did it, I called and made sure they had the correct address. So today I call again because it's been over a month and they still have the wrong address on file. Apparently whoever I talked to about the correction just "noted" that the address was wrong but never actually changed it. So now I have to wait until the 15th of this month to get a check issued and re-sent. Terrible experience and definitely will avoid in the future.

We live in a multi-family home and previously had a bed bug treatment in one of the units. None of the other units were treated precautionarily as I later found out they should have been, so the problem spread throughout the building. It has been like pulling teeth to get an inspector and now a technician out here. So far 2 separate appointments have been cancelled or "rescheduled" without my knowledge. I have done a complete overhaul of my house for fumigation today only to have no one show up. I will NEVER be using Terminix again and I hope no one else will either. It's nearly impossible to talk to the same person twice and all anyone can do is write notes in your file. This whole organization is ridiculous. I can't understand how they're still in business. And of course once I read more online reviews they were all negative too. Go read your Yelp reviews Terminix. And considering overhauling your Staten Island office.
