Don’t Use Terminex!!!!! Big Mistake!!!!
Actually they deserve no stars but wouldn’t let me write a review unless I gave them one star. Worst company I have ever dealt with. I called regarding mice in my basement but agreed to pest spraying even though I have only seen 2 bugs in my house in a year. The plan was a technician would place traps and poison enclosed in a container (to protect my pets) in my basement and also spray for bugs inside and outside to keep me from getting any bugs. When I asked how much this would cost he said $225 initially. He said they will come quarterly to replace traps/poison and spray. I said how much for that and he said $67. The contract actually said $67 a month not per spray. He misled me. When the technician came she said I’m here to spray your house for pests. I said to her you know I don’t have any pests except for mice. That’s my main problem the spraying was added on as an extra. She seemed surprised and said well we can fix that too. I told her we are not fixing it too; it is the problem and the spraying was just an add on. She goes to her truck and brings in an armload of snap traps to which I said you can’t put those in my house as I have pets. I told her that I was told the traps would be enclosed in a container. She apologized and said she was not aware of this and had none on her truck. She sprayed and left promising to return in a few days with traps in containers. I decided I did not want to continue with this company so according to the contract you have 3 days to cancel. I called the 800 number for Terminex immediately after the technician left and was told that they would cancel the contract and send me an email confirming that it was canceled. The next morning when I checked I had not received the email. I was concerned because when I initially signed the contract I received a copy of my contract by email immediately. I decided to read the contract and see what it said regarding the method to cancel a contract. The contract says you must either send a telegram, or mail or hand deliver a written cancellation. So I drove to the address indicated on the contract only to find the doors locked with no mailbox or doorbell. I went to UPS and paid to have it overnighted to same address and obtain signature even though there probably won’t be anyone there to sign for it. I just wanted proof that I had tried to cancel in time in the correct way. I called back to corporate headquarters and they said it was canceled but the office listed on my contract would have to email me a confirmation. When I asked when I would receive this email I was told whenever someone shows up at that office. I tried to send an email to corporate headquarters as listed on the internet only to receive a message that the emailed failed to be delivered. Unbelievable. So I’ve paid $225 for insects I don’t have and no fix on my mice problem that I do have and I can’t get a confirmation that my contract has been cancelled after 3 calls, driving out of my way to a closed office, and emailing to a listed email that doesn’t work.
