Great pest control company. They did a great job and their pricing was more than competitive. The service was fast but thorough and the tech was very good to work with. I will keep using them for all my pest control needs.

We have used Terminix in the past with a regard to bed bug infestation. Bed bugs are extremely difficult to get rid of as they can survive a very long time without food. Terminix was very helpful in setting up a plam for us to help us get rid of them. We were able to get rid of them within a few months with help from Terminix

We used Terminix a few years ago after we found out we had the dreaded bed bugs in one of our bedrooms. They were very knowledgeable and helped us set up a monthly plan to get rid of them. Once we started the plan with them we were able to get rid of them within a few months.

We had a package with Terminix for a couple summers for pest control. The service was good and the price was reasonable. I would recommend them to others because of the results we saw from their pest control service. Nice technicians and very on time.

Terminix is a life saver. They did a fantastic job, haven’t had problems with bugs since they got here! Also, they’re product is safe, doesn’t kill plants or harm pets! Definitely will use them again next year.

Terminix was our pest control service for a few years and were didn't have any issues. They always called to schedule a time to come by. They were in and out pretty quick. Eventually we canceled our service when we decided to cut back some expenses. The cancellation process was relatively simple.

In Texas we have a lot of bugs. After we hired Terminix, we rarely ever saw bugs, and if we did, they were dead. They were friendly and always willing to help if we ever noticed problem areas. They were fantastic!

Terminix had no problem to send their "salesperson" within 48hrs. They charge your credit card $1,200 and "promise" 1 year service. But then their pest control guys don't show up for the service call - twice now !!. John in RI tells me to wait for him on a Friday and on a second occasion on a Monday between 1-5pm.....I had taken time out of work....and he did not bother to show up. I won't recommend this company !!

I would give negative stars if I could. Worst. Service. Ever! Every time you call expect to be on hold for over an hour. No exaggeration. 60 minutes minimum. There is no way to call a local office. There is no option to leave a message or to leave your # and schedule a call back. Nope. You just wait on hold. We just sold our house and I waited over an hour to be able to tell them and then they had the nerve to ask if I wanted to transfer my service to our new home. LOL. Stick with a local company unless you want to spend your time on hold.

These people are scammers, liars and unprofessional, a shame that a company like this is misleading the public. It is the worst service I have ever hired. With lies they impose contracts on someone who did not ask and then make them pay bills for a service that does not work, about 6 times they came to my house for a cockroach problem and they never solved it, but what they are good for is fo the bills. The customer service by phone is even worse, they take more than an hour to answer and sometimes they simply block the call after the waiting hour. NEVER hire these scammers

Run! Their products don't work, and they steal from their customers! I had them come out, when I tried to cancel the service because it didn't work, they said that I had to have two attempts in order to get my money back. They came out the second time and still nothing. Had McCoy Pest Control come out, and the problem was resolved. So not only did they take my money, for a service that didn't work, I had to turn around and pay someone else. Not to mention the first person that came out was very rude and unprofessional!

If I could give 'no stars', I would. They come to your house when you are in need and talk a big game. Once you pay them an enormous 'up front' sum for a 2 year 'on demand' contract, they do initial service and then never respond to follow up requests. It's basically a scam! It would be better to just pay a more reasonable ongoing monthly service (to someone other than Terminix) who is at least held to task for the work they are paid for. The 'pay up front' and 'never show up again' scheme is true fraud!

I'm not happy at all with my service. I feel like the technician did not treat our home correctly and did not return on the follow up appointment. I tried to make contact with him several times and left messages asking for a return call. I had to call Terminix itself to find out what the problem was and request another technician because I'm paying for a service and at the moment it's not a reliable one. Today was the next appointment and no one has shown up. This is ridiculous.

I had a bedbug problem the Terminix tech came and recommended the Heat treatment which they guarantee to eliminate the problem. That was not the case! That same night after the treatment I found bed bugs still alive and still feeding off me. I was trying to get a hold of them and no answer so I called and cancelled the contract and requested a refund just like they advertised on their website. Well that’s not the case they still charged me 1500 dollars and refused to refund the money for a treatment that didn’t work.

Absolutely poor customer service. Made an appointment no one called no one showed. When I called they put me on hold and after 3 minutes they hung up on me and didn’t call back. I took off work for my appointment and it was a no call no show. Absolute a horrible company and you’ll waste your time. Use someone else please trust me. Orkin showed up same day an hour after I called and were professional and kind. Again don’t waste your time with a joke of a company Terminix!!!!!

I lived a nightmare. I signed a contract that my billing will be every 3 month and the visit too. I will move to an apartment and I cancel the service. But they already charged my the money 3 week before the services come because one tech come and did the services outside and i did know nothing because he never contact me. He just took my money. What company is. Now I have a week waiting for a manager and nobody contact me.

Horrible experience. Prior company insight was great, but were bought by terminex. Terminex was poor from the start. They never showed up when scheduled and could not follow the simplest of instuctions. For almost 2 months and 4 different calls made to this company could not get me the 3 small inside ant traps that I requested . I finally gave up and cancelled my contract with them. Strongly advise to avoid using this company, does let the name fool you, you'll regret it.

They don't even deserve the one star. Was told that I had to pay $300 down and then pay $60 every 3 months. Received a letter in the mail 2 weeks later that I was approved for a LOAN!! to pay for services that totaled $900. Beyond furious! I have been filing complaints Since Jan. 2nd, 2020. That's not including the $109 they tried to get me for but I canceled. They are fraudulent and deceptive.

We have been a customer for over 10 years with Terminex, but cancelled due to the company not coming for a service appointment, not calling to let us know and since the inception of this not responding to my calls about their billing, etc. A lot of the calls are taken offshore. Absolutely the worst, waste of time with no customer service or follow through whatsoever.

Beware. If you have “protection termite policy “ with Terminex. They will find any way to get rid of you, including errors made in their accounting department, if they ever return your calls. We are both seniors. Our son took over the payment to Terminex That worked fine for a year, it the next year, they credited both payments to his other house and cancelled ours without notice. They will not renew protection even though they are the ones that made the error. The service technicians are fine men. Too bad they have to work for Terminex. If I could give them no stars, I would.

They do not honor what they print and advertise: "If a customer is not completely satisfied within 30 days of an inspection or treatment, Terminix has a money-back guarantee and will refund the treatment charges and cancel the current service plan." When I called the 1-800 number within that 30 days to cancel the policy and asked for the refund, they said they would cancel the policy but a manager from the local office would have to call me about a the refund. Even after I read that exact statement from their contract to them. I want hold my breath waiting for that call.

Wow! When I decided to report them to the Better Business Bureau, I had no idea there were SO MANY complaints that were precisely the same as mine. Customer service is a joke. The only one I’ve been able to get to listen to me was the man who had come to evaluate my house. He was very nice and kept calling his manager. The manager kept telling him he would call me right away, but I never got a call from ANYONE. I have reported them to the BBB and encourage everyone to do the same. It’s very simple and easy.

I paid $2,500+ upfront for a pest control (termite) plan. I CANCELLED the plan the NEXT day. It was my understanding that the payment would NOT be submitted through my bank until the work was completed. It has been almost 4 weeks and I still have no refund. The OSP that initially helped me is trying her best to get my money refunded but she can only do so much.

Terminix came out to inspect a house I was selling, The inspector, said he didn't find any terminates, but put on the recommendations, that the house need treated. I talk to the inspector and he said" that it is the company policy that if the inspector doesn't see any terminates, or evidence of the house being on any program for terminates, they check the box for recommendation to have it treated. Even with no evidence of terminates. I am so glad that when I go to my Dr. he doesn't say, where there is no evidence you have cancer, but I recommend chemo any way. SCRAM!!! SCRAM!!!

Terminix is horrible. We have been after them for 8 months to come and perform the minimum service for our contract. In the last 2 weeks we have had 3 appointments scheduled and they have missed all 3. The customer service line is horrible. They do nothing for the customer and offer weak platitudes to try to smooth over the anger I am feeling by their lack of service and commitment. I would never recommend them to anyone.

Agent shows up, sits in his car for 15 minutes, and leaves. He then claims to have preformed the service. Agent shows up, performs services, but doesn't perform the services listed in my profile.

After dealing with an ant problem I called Terminex. I wished that I had read the reviews first. They are all true. They promise services that they do not deliver. When you contact customer service they tell you a supervisor will get back to you. They never return your call. They say that they have a 100% satisfaction or money back guarantee. When you tell them about your dissatisfaction they refuse to honor the money back guarantee. DO NOT use this company. Call Orkin or a local company.

The best trap they have ever made is the contract. The only service they did is spray and set the bait base - all you can do by yourself with much less cost. And there is no service scheduled in advance, they just knock your door and start the service. The customer service is nightmare!!! They only call you for money collection and they won't strech their hand when you are in real trouble. Get away from these bugs!!!
