I've been paying for Terminix services virtually nonstop since my wife and I moved into a brand-new Florida home ten years ago. The ants and roaches moved in about the same time, and they have never entirely left. I don't know why I have stuck with this company. Service reps show up when expected (usually). They admit that ants pose a difficult problem. They set out plastic traps, place gooey bait, and perhaps do some spraying, and then for a little while, the dead ants appearing on the floor outnumber the live ones. Most recently, the "technician" did quite a lot of spraying. Within a month or so, our beloved cat grew sick and died. I keep telling myself it was only a coincidence, but who... Read More

Initially went out of their way to assist in financing. Later to accommodate my need to continue with ongoing warranty Terminix allowed for my annual renewal to go monthly. When finally getting damage repaired the local Terminix office sprayed area of initial damage once subfloor was removed giving me the added security of new wood being treated. Just Great overall customer service in a timely manner.
