Terminix is a scam! They take money from you every month and when you schedule a follow up they cancel your appointment without you knowing it. I have cameras in front of my house and in the back of the house. I’ve never saw anyone come spray my house at all! I purposely scheduled the appointments on my own so that I can be present when they so call come to the house. But like I said they cancel my appointments and tell me I never was scheduled. When I in fact I have the screen shots to prove it. This company needs to be shut down!

The employee in Ashtabula
The employee in Ashtabula, Oh was abusive, disrespectful of boundaries, disrespectful of property, and sprayed areas and items without authorization. The spray was ineffective and induced headaches even after the recommended wait period. He went so far as to argue about the boundaries set. DO NOT USE!

A guy named Andy Wagenkneckt came out…
A guy named Andy Wagenkneckt came out from terminex to give me a quote on getting rid of bed bugs.. after looking around for 3 min he told me I had bed bugs. I asked him how much, he said $1300 for chemical treatment.. I told him that we really couldn’t afford to pay that much because I’m on a fixed income.. so I literally asked him one question about how to do it ourselves.. he looked straight at me and said I’m not being rude but I’m not going to tell you how to do it yourself. I was shocked because that was rude. So I said you’re not going to answer one question that I have for somebody that cannot afford to pay that much to get rid of these horrible creatures. And he said no I’m not. I couldn’t believe how selfish and inconsiderate, he was. It’s not like I was asking for a step-by-step instruction on how to do it myself. I wouldn’t use Terminex now even if I did come up with the money. Horrible horrible customer service.

Deceptive Dishonest Company
They came and put bait stations in and charged me over $400. They didn't tell me about the $129 a month maintenance fee. I paid them for 12 months and finally cancelled service because I didn't have any termites anymore. Now they continue to bill my credit card after I called them twice and told them I didn't want the service any more and my contract is expired. They said they would issue a credit to my card but haven't as of yet. I'll have to dispute the charges and Amex will reverse it now. Lousy Company to deal with. Called twice and told it was cancelled and it's not. Probably going to have to sue Terminex for billing me when I don't have a Contract with them anymore. Do yourself a favor. Don't use them. I will never use them again. Deceptive practices and lousy customer support that lies to you over the phone ...

Buyer Beware: Bed Bug service waste of money!
Terminix has a bed bug service that is grossly ineffective, but promises the world, as told to us by Eli Neish, salesman for Terminix. After spending a week fogging, spraying and spreading Borax throughout the house, we felt we needed a pro to get things under control. Eli promised us fogging, steam, spray, bagging our clothes, spraying underneath furniture, and a mattress cover for the bed. They treated the bed, and put it in a cover. Maybe they sprayed the baseboards.
NOTHING ELSE WAS DONE. We left them at 10:30...we drove by at 11:00, truck was gone! We know they didn't do much because placement of pillows and clothes was exactly how we left them. There was also a light film of Borax throughout, which didn't show any spray indications or hand prints.
Given the research we did on the issue, and how hard it is to get rid of them, this service was ineffective, even if done correctly. TERMINIX OFFERED US ONLY $700 BACK, WHICH WAS ABOUT HALF OF WHAT WE PAID.
Their service rep., Kenley Joseph was condescending and unprofessional, and denied most of our issues.
The Branch manager, Tim Love, just passed the buck. We are still working with our bank for a refund, and will take legal action if necessary.
If you have a bed bug problem, do your research and SKIP TERMINIX!

NEVER showed up for EITHER of 2 Appointments!
Had a Saturday morning appt for 8/5/23 for someone from the #LakeCharles #Louisiana location to come between 8-12 for a free inspection. Received confirmation text the day before and I confirmed and received a response from them confirming appt and when I set the appt, the lady assured me that they work on saturdays and it would be no problem. Woke up early on my only day off to do this and they never showed up. At 12:30, I called the 800#. Lady was very very polite and apologized and said she'd get in touch with Lake Charles office and have them call me. No one ever did. On 08/08/23, decided to give them 1 more try and set up another appt with the same office to come out on 08/10/23. Received confirmation text. This time my spouse was up early and waited all day for them. NO SHOW AGAIN. We called 800# and again, very nice lady said she'd contact our local #LAKECHARLESLOUISIANATERMINIX office and have someone call us and let us known when they were on their way. AGAIN, no phone call and no one showed up. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL and will never do business with a company that can't even show up or call for an appt. #TERMINIX please address this, reading the comments, I see this happens quite often. Complete waste of our time and we went elsewhere for treatment. I don't know how this company stays in business. She said it would be someone from Lake Charles or #LAFAYETTE office but most likely Lake Charles #Louisiana

NEVER hire Terminex
NEVER hire Terminex. I hired them to rid my house of rodents. They came once and then wanted a quarterly contract. My tenant said there were still rodents. I called and called and finally after 6 weeks they came.
My tenant had to move out. Now terminex is hounding me for $81.25 for quarterly service. They never finished the original job I paid in advance. They said pay the $81 or were sending you to collection. They don't care about what you hire them for only to TAKE your money.

TERMINIX is the worst company I have…
TERMINIX is the worst company I have ever dealt with. DO NOT HIRE THEM!
They have a money-back guarantee if you cancel within 30 days, listed on their website. I hired them for ants, but canceled within 30 days for poor service. I keep receiving bills charging me $220.00 and saying I had an "extra service" which I never had an extra service. This is why I was told the manager denied my refund.
I have called over 11 times, since March 2023. I keep getting told the manager will call, he never has. Then I was told the manager left a vm, ?? where is the number he left for me to call him back? I never received a vm from the manager. Everyone I talk to has no authority to do anything and keeps saying the manager will call you back.
Absolutely the Worst company I have ever dealt with.
I hired ORKIN and my issue with the ants was resolved within one week.
