Terminix gets 5 stars for their customer service and their pest control products. I had a tenant that left my townhouse infested with roaches beyond belief, it looked like a horror film. I called Terminix and I wanted know how often would they come out and spray, lay traps, and etc. They said as often as needed. Terminix kept their word and now the house is roach free! The other great thing is that they did it with a smile, everyone I talked to from the customer service rep, the tech, as well as, management.

They assign someone to you, so the service is provided by the same person each time. I had a few bugs, but ants were a major problem. After my home was sprayed, in a week or two, I saw no more ants except in my tub. In less than a month, I saw no more ants in my home at all. Shortly before time for my next service, I got little spiders in a bathroom. When I spoke to my rep, he put something different in that bathroom, which took care of the problem. He also noticed ants in the yard and put something down for them too. I love the personalization to fix any problems I have and the lack of bugs!
