Customer Stories

Baltimore, Maryland I concluded my contract with Terminix at the conclusion of the contract,  June 2004. They keep calling. They provided horrendous service and customer relations during the one year in which we conducted business. They had nerve to send me a bill for $90 that was paid in February 2005. I have sent a…

Sicklerville, New Jersey I have called 5 times to Terminix. I paid $1800.00 for a termite treatment, and the termites are back with consideralbe damage to my wooden windows.  My woodwork is all screwed up, and they tell me I did not have the right contract. Can you imagine?  $1800 for what?  They do not…

Hayward, California I too have been ripped off by Terminix, billed for unauthorized services. For me it is only $100.  I canceled our service last July because my husband had surgery and would miss work for a few months.  I fully intended on reinstating our service once he got back to work. When I canceled,…

Florida I cannot tell you how fooled I was to have chosen Terminex.  They are unreliable and absolutely not worthy of anyone gaining their trust.

Connecticut I have a termite plan with Terminix, when I found termite in my garage, I called Terminix. They gave me a date when they would come out, but they didn’t come out and they didn’t call.  My garage is attached to my house.

Covina,  California I believe we have been sold an expensive Terminix baiting product under false pretenses. We  have had no evidence of termites in almost 2 years, despite being told we had termites. The Covina office manager has repeatedly ignored my phone calls for many months (meaning they usually do not call me back) and/or…

Virginia Beach, Virginia Had contract from Terminix. Semi-annual inspections. Had to replace large sliding window, when removed, there were millions of termites in window sill and frame work. Terminix sent man to inspect and file claim. After 5 weeks, no return of calls and person I needed to speak with, was never there, I spoke…

Encinita, California I have had nothing but trouble with both AHS (2 months to replace a sump pump) and Terminex (3 tentings in 4 years). I look forward to hearing from anyone that can direct me to a better service offering than either of these organizations. I am done with both and am still considering…

Atlanta, Georgia I was searching for complaints against Terminix because I felt they were kind of shady. I bought my house and had the contract transfered to me from the previous owners.  Terminix came out and serviced for a couple of months, but then I get a call from one of the sales people telling…

Manchester, New Hampshire I too am amazed that the BBB reports nothing against Terminix.  I retained their services for carpenter ants in 2001. During their inspection a small area of old termite damage was discovered, (no live termites). I got their pest control and Sentricon contracts. They did, within six months, locate the source of…

Rialto, California I paid my bill on 11/15/04 and canceled my service.  Then I got a letter stating they (Terminix) were going to send my account to Nationwide Credit, Inc. Now again they sent me a letter stating they will send my account to Nationwide Credit, Inc. if not paid by 2/28/05.  I have called…

Yuba City, California It was some years ago that we applied for a bank loan and were told we needed a termite inspection, so Terminix inspected under our house, and in seconds he was out and said, Yep you gottem, well he took me under the house and raised up a little piece of wood…

Vandervoort, Arkansas I have had a termite protection plan with Terminix since 5/1998. This past spring of 2004, we had to move out, termites had complety ruined our home. Every board had to be replaced even ceiling joist. At this date, it still is not finished because Terminix won’t pay contractor on time.  He has…

Indian harbor Beach, Florida My husband and I purchased a home in May of this year.  Once we closed, we began making several renovations, just to find extensve termite damage throughout.  We had 2 inspections and real estate agents — we did everything by the book. We have never been able to move in, and…

Barnwell, South Carolina We have been paying for services that we have not received. We have not seen Terminix in over a year.  We now have ants and roach’s.

Ashburn, Virginia Terminix Manassas location treated my property for ants superficially for $150 with no results.  I asked for re-treatment per guarantee, and they said they would send someone on Wed; never showed up. Called corporate; no response. Terminix is a fraud.

Pasadena, California I wish I had done my search before calling Terminix. The office manager in Covina, CA (Mr. John Cook) didn’t even have the courtesy of returning my call regarding the damage that Terminix had caused in my kitchen.

Derby, Kansas We too have fallen victim to Terminix. We have been trying since March to get a refund on their NON-PERFORMANCE on the contract.  We have e-mailed, left voice msg’s, and actually talked with live people with the company stating “they were in a position to ‘make things happen’. Well NOTHING HAS HAPPENED! If…

Limerick, Pennsylvania I too have had several problems with this company. Each person who came out to service my house had their own way of avoiding doing the entire job I was told was to be the standard routine of each service call.  To date, I have not received an entire routine spraying as originally…

Los Fresnos, Texas I believe Terminix is not inspecting all of the termite stakes in the ground around my house contrary to what they are telling me. I called the area manager for Terminix out to my house and told him I was dissatisfied with their service and if he wanted to keep me as…

Terminex failed to respond to my many calls to come investigate some possible termite or carpenter ant damage. They seem to take it all in stride and even lie about when they recieved my phone calls.  Even though I have a yearly contract with them they just don’t seem to give a @#%$!. Watch out…

River Ridge, Louisiana Terminix screwed me bigtime. I changed different parts of my kitchen floor four times.  They claimed it wasn’t termites when I saw them.  They dropped my contract.  Claimed they sent me four notices.  I can’t believe all four went astray. They wanted $1700 to put me under.

I paid for monthly checks, and they’ve been here twice this year.  They don’t open up all the stations, it’s easy to tell (mud not removed from cover.)

Mays Landing, New Jersey I’m glad to know that I’m not the only one who expected a company with a national reputation to be much more professional and competent than Terminix has proven to be.  I paid for the Sentricon termite control system and had to contact the company online in order to have them…

St. Charles, Iowa We hired terminix after a local company let us down. There was a chemical treatment done by the other company that did not work.  Terminix installed the baiting system 5 months ago. We got a letter from Terminix saying no activity was seen during the inspections and that we would be put…

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania My husband and I are undergoing the same nightmares as those mentioned in the site. We have over $50k in termite damage to our home and Terminix has been “treating” the property for the last 10 years.  We have owned the home for only 10 months.  They issued a clear certification and inspected…

Spring Hill, Florida I was a Sears Termite & Pest Control customer; and when Terminix bought out Sear’s contracts, I stayed with Terminix because I would have to start over again with someone new and it would be costly. Terminix put in the Sentricon bait system. After a couple of months they left a note…

Severn, Maryland Been with Terminix for 4 years and after paying more than $2300 in service I’m now realizing that they really haven’t done anything for me…I still have termites coming out of the walls…when a technician came to my home and looked at the bug…I was told it wasn’t a termite but a flying…

Texas I have had many of the same problems you listed on your web site, including unkept appointments, ineffective treatments, annual contract for monthly inspections that turned out to be quarterly, and being openly treated with contempt by the “service manager.”  He even challenged that with the directions I gave to my house that he…

Altamonte Springs, Florida My landlord has gotten Terminix to service our house in October. They have never come to service the termite traps and have only came out 3 times in the 10 times I’ve called about our roach problem.  They say I wasn’t home but I’m a stay at home mom.  I belive they…
