I Recently became a widow and I have moved into a new house. I quickly realized that I had a problem with ants. BIG PROBLEM! I was referred to Terminix by a friend so I gave them a call. They came the next day! I was very pleased with the service tech. He was super nice and helpful. I am glad to report I have not seen one ant since the guy left my house!! So happy!!!

I have always had prompt service. The young man treating my home is polite and friendly. He jokes with my 87 year old mother and makes her feel comfortable with the entire process. There are no bugs except occasional dead bugs.

A great company to deal with, prompt and effective service and follow up. The service technicians arrive when they say they will and are always polite and professional, and listen to any concerns we might have. The termites and fire-ants are gone, which is why we contacted them in the first instance. Highly recommended.

I have been a customer for over 5 years and I had a Bed Bug issue. I called there call center and they told me my ultimate protection plan would cover my bed bug issue at no charge.

I thought they would have valued our business a little better and worked something out with me.
