Our technician is Errol. He is fantastic. Years ago I noticed foot tracks in the snow around our house following a snow storm. I could not figure out who had been walking around our house. Later that day I noticed a slip in our mailbox. It was from Errol letting us know he had been at our house. I was shocked. Even in a storm, when a lot of people would have done a drive by, Errol was trustworthy and did his job. That, in my opinion and in this day and age, is extremely rare. Terminex better never let Errol leave because when he goes so do I. Errol is like one of the family.

Yes I’m in need of someone to come to my residence and spray for bed bugs! It’s a 3 bedroom home. I believe I do have an infestation? I have called another exterminator and he failed to call back! I talked to him to set up an appointment he said he was sick! I have been waiting and calling for 3 weeks!! I need this done ASAP! It’s getting out of control! Can you call me back please? (989) 912 8210 Thank you

The service is top-notch. From the first phone call to schedule service to the last day of application for pests, I was treated as a valued customer. Their explanations of what the pest control entails were understandable and thorough. I've used their services more than once and was pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend them!

Terminix is a wonderful company. I, do not like critters or bugs and am much happier when I do not see them. As I know, they are wonderful and needed for our environment, it is best we don't meet. Terminix is efficient to ensure that all bugs and critters stay away. In the off chance the bugs and critters make their way in, I give our Terminix specialist, Jesus, a call and he comes out within 24 hours. Jesus, is a family friendly, understanding gentleman. He doesn't judge the mess left behind by my children and the business of our family. We had a few mice running around our garage, Jesus put out the traps, after I noticed the trap worked, he came back to dispose of the trap. I was... Read More

I had a bedbug infestation. I called Terminex and they sent someone the next day and set up my appointment for the following day. I cat tell you how creeped out I was over this so I truly appreciated the super fast response. When the guy got here he told me that it could take up to 3 visits to completely get rid of them but after one treatment my bedbug were GONE! Very friendly and professional staff all the way around from phone service to exterminator. I would highly recommend this company for all pest problems! Thank you Terminex!!! You have my vote!
