Quarterly Pest Control Services

Pests are active year-round. While some may only appear in the spring and summer, others will find shelter in your home during the fall and winter. With year-round pests, you'll need year-round protection.

Terminix's Pest Control plan offers flexible treatment plans that take into consideration pest activity, location, and the season. Homeowners can expect a technician to treat the outside of their home every season - a total of four treatments a year (including the initial service).

As a part of its 100% Satisfaction Guarantee* Terminix states that if the pests come back, it will too.

100% Satisfaction Guarantee

Terminix attempts to respond to its customers within two hours of the initial contact every day of the year, 24 hours a day. To accomplish this goal, the pest control company deploys the closest available exterminator to the location. With more than 300 locations across the United States, Terminix is equipped to respond quickly to any ant, tick, or termite problem within its expansive service area.

Many Terminix plans, such as the Residential Termite, Pest, and Mosquito plans, are protected with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. Under this guarantee, Terminix will do whatever it takes, including coming back between treatments at no cost, until the pest problem is gone. If the bug problem persists, or the customer is not completely satisfied within 30 days of an inspection or treatment, Terminix has a money-back guarantee and will refund the treatment charges and cancel the current service plan.

Wildlife and Rodent Control

Alongside providing pest control services for common pests, Terminix offers homeowners and commercial properties a wildlife control plan. This includes effective, humane traps for raccoons, possums, squirrels, and other nuisance animals that can cause hundreds — possibly even thousands — of dollars in damage. Wildlife can chew through wires, eat drywall, tear insulation, leave droppings behind, and destroy personal property and belongings.

A Wildlife Control plan with Terminix includes a free inspection — where a technician will identify any entry points the wildlife are using to get in — a guarantee to come back and eliminate, and remove trapped pests, repairs to any new damage, and the company will seal any new entry points the wildlife creates**.

Additional Services

Terminix covers more than just insect and pest infestation problems; it also provides crawl space services and attic insulation services. Terminix not only treats for pests but works hard to identify and correct conditions that encourage their presence. Many homeowners aren't aware that moisture in their crawl space attracts several pests — many of which who can cause thousands in property damage.

Terminix uses advanced solutions to help protect homes against water damage, fungi, mildew, and minimize the conditions that attract pests. The company also offers an Attic Insulation service. Terminix's attic insulation is made from 85 percent recycled materials, is ENERGY STAR certified, is flame retardant, and able to reduce noise. As insulation degrades, it increases the wear and tear on the air conditioner and heater. Terminix's attic insulation can help homeowners regulate the temperatures in their homes, therefore, lowering heating and cooling costs.

Terminix has been in business for over 90 years and has locations in 45 states. The company has a network of over 300 local branches that can provide residential and commercial pest control. Each branch employs trained pest control technicians who specialize in local pest and termite control.

In the event of a termite pest issue, Terminix will provide its termite control services at no cost to the homeowner.

The Bad

  • Pest Control Plan Exclusions
  • Service Available in Most but Not All Regions

Pest Control Plan Exclusions

Before signing a contract with Terminix for a pest control plan, be sure to read the fine print and make sure the treatment plan provides the right coverage. For example, Terminix’s Guaranteed Pest Control Plan covers treatment for cockroaches, mice, rats, silverfish, “house” ants, clothes moths, non-poisonous spiders, scorpions, centipedes, millipedes, earwigs, house crickets, and paper wasps.

It does not include coverage for carpenter ants, fire ants, pharaoh ants, tawny crazy ants, termites, wood-boring beetles, bed bugs, and mosquitoes.

Homeowners who want coverage for these pests will need to purchase an additional pest control plan for an additional charge.

Service Available in Most but Not All Regions

While Terminix offers coverage in most of the United States, there are five states that Terminix does not service: Alaska, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Vermont.

The Bottom Line

Terminix is one of the most well-known brands in the termite treatment and pest control industry and has more than 90 years of experience. The company offers free inspections for services that require an inspection before purchase, a variety of plans, a money-back guarantee, and 100 percent satisfaction on many services.

However, be sure to read the fine print on the contract before signing. The Standard Pest Control plan doesn't cover all pests and to receive coverage for certain pests (mosquito service, termite activity, bed bug issues, etc.), you'll have to pay a separate fee for an additional plan.

Terminix does stand out with its superior customer service. The pest control operators strive to respond to customers and deploy a local technician to any location as quickly as possible to ensure customer satisfaction. The Terminix C.O.D.E provides customers with 24/7 customer service, on-demand solutions, 100 percent satisfaction, and effective pest control strategies.

Overall, we recommend working with Terminix for your professional pest control needs.

My experience with Terminix was a complete disaster. They escalated the situation by involving a debt collector for a service that was never provided, and then avoided all attempts at communication. Managers Derik T, Antonio B, and Luis S were unresponsive and unhelpful in resolving the issue. This company's lack of professionalism is appalling.

I was hesitant to call Terminix because of the mixed reviews. I called anyway and I have not regretted the decision, even though someone had suggested that I use Orkin instead. I want to thank Howard A and Christopher M for being a great asset to the company due to your professionalism, congeniality, diligence and being knowledgeable when explaining the situation. Even the scheduler, Lakisha was very helpful to work with me regarding the timeframe for the services. Now, I saw a water bug afterwards; however, he didn't make it far. That sucka was stretched out. RIP! LOL! I cremated him with the vacuum cleaner! The chemicals work! Yay! Thank you.

Kenneth Morris Harrisburg, PA

At first they did a good job and got rid of my termites. The same time they sprayed, they drilled a bait station into the concrete patio of my house and patched the holes with concrete. They kept coming back the next 4 years to check the bait station and I was being charged over $300 each year for basically nothing. On the last visit, the man didn't know why he was here as the bait station in the concrete lasts a lifetime. I don't have a yard, just a patio, so there were no bait stations in the ground to be replaced. The report I received would just state the weather temperature, nothing else was ever done. Yes, I paid $350 for the temperature reading from the Terminix guy over the past 4 years. Once I found out the bait station in the concrete was for life, I called to cancel the service. I had to fight with them to let me cancel. It was a stressful, horrible experience. I was finally able to get my contract cancelled and they said I would receive a confirmation in 14 days, I will never recommend their service as much of it is a total scam. If you need someone go local.

We have been customers with Terminix for almost 10 years. We often have people knock on our door and try to get us to switch over, but we're really happy with them. The seem reasonably priced (compared to others) and I think our tech does a great job. We recently had a mouse problem (first time ever) and they really did a great job setting up traps and taking care of it. I also like that you can call in between your services and they'll come right away. They've been good! The only thing I DON'T like is that they will occasionally increase our price out of the blue by just a few bucks.

We have had a pest company coming for several months. Never saw any dead pests and population of pests kept increasing. We cancelled service and hired termi ex to come out. After the service was complete we left for the night. Came back the next evening and there were dead pests everywhere. We are very grateful for the quick precise elimination of them. We will keep terminex recurring services indefinately.

I started working with Terminix about a year ago. I was having a problem with palmetto bugs in my master bathroom. Since I fear those things worse than most crawly things. I called Terminix. My tech is a great guy. He is on time polite and texts me a few days before he’s due to be there. He sprays the outside of my house every three months. I’m happy to say my house is bug free and I don’t have the creepy crawlers any more. I have recommended Terminix to my sister and a few of my friends. I have had a great experience with this company. Since I have an older homes and live near the water and a bunch of trees I had a problem with bats. They also took care of that problem. Polite, on time and helpful. I love the politeness of my tech and the kindness.

Terminex always shows up on time. They are always quick and delivers top notch pest control from roaches to bed bugs and more. Easy instructions to prepare ahead of time is key to success for all customers. I live an apartment building with about 40 more neighboring units. Terminex service is used here at least twice a year for preventative measures and maintenance. I appreciate the service and comfort of a pest free home. I know I can't control others with their pest, but I can control mine. Customers may need to evacuate the property for a couple hours or so. It's a nonissue. The Terminex employee is respectful too. Highly recommend. Outstanding solutions and services. A++

About 2 years ago I was experiencing small ants in the house, and a few other non harmful bugs. I contacted Terminix who provided a comprehensive review of the house and provided a clear path towards addressing these insects. They went into the attic to check to larger rodents (there weren't any), and any signs of rodents. They also looked for termites and found nothing. I set up service with them, had termite baits installed and find Terminix prompt, regular and provide notification of their planned visits and the opportunity to share any concerns that need special attention and I have request that support once. From a service perspective, they are comprehensive. They are a bit pricey, but it's nice to have the peace of mind that comes with this and the total absence of insects in the house throughout the year.

I signed up with Terminix when I discovered a bug infestation in our home. A technician came out within 24 hours and identified the bugs and the treatment needed. As these bugs were tough critters, we had technicians come out between our regularly scheduled applications to retreat problem areas, at no additional cost. Within months, the bugs were gone and we have not had any problems since! Terminix is great about notifying me about upcoming treatments and giving me a window of time when they will be at my house, then, on the day of treatment, letting me know when they are on their way. Their autopay billing is easy. When I have called into their customer service center, the agents have been professional and easy to work with. They are mindful of my pets. They are thorough. I have been very happy with my service with Terminix but most importantly, the results that I got in taking care of my bug problem!

I had a truly terrible experience with Terminix when I discovered bees inside my house. I reached out to them for help, and that's when my nightmare began. Here's a breakdown of the problems I encountered: Deceptive Sales Tactics: When the Terminix inspector arrived, he informed me that the only way to address the bee problem immediately was to sign a year-long agreement. Feeling pressured, I reluctantly agreed. Failed Appointments: The following day, I was promised that someone would come between 12-2 PM to resolve the issue. Nobody showed up during that time slot. I called again, and they rescheduled for 5 PM, but once again, nobody showed up. The same thing happened when they rescheduled for 5:50 PM. The lack of punctuality was not only frustrating but also inconvenient, as it disrupted my plans. Lack of Communication: To make matters worse, I had to call multiple times before anyone took my concerns seriously. It took until 7 PM for them to even consider connecting me with a supervisor, and then I was told it would take another 24-48 hours to resolve the issue. Incompetent Service: When a technician finally arrived two days after the initial inspection, they were clueless about the problem because Terminix hadn't shared the inspection report with them. I had to explain the issue all over again. Even after some work, they said they needed a handyman and another visit to resolve the problem. Cancellation Hassle: Frustrated and fed up, I decided to cancel the agreement. Calling to cancel wasn't a straightforward process either, as I had to endure long wait times before they promised to cancel the agreement within a day or two. In summary, Terminix is a company that cannot be trusted. They use high-pressure sales tactics to get you to sign agreements, but when it comes to delivering on their promises, they fall short time and time again. They were unprofessional, unreliable, and ultimately failed to address the pest issue I was facing. My experience with them has been nothing but a nightmare, and I strongly advise against trusting this company with your pest control needs.

If I could give 0 stars, I would. I had a service done in the beginning of May. There was supposed to be a consultation before hand and the day chosen was not the day they arrived but I digress... After the service was done (or not done) I called back to let them know. I was told by the customer service representative that they would be able to send someone back out. When I asked if I'd be charged, she replied no, it's within the 30 day period... Now fast forward to the second service, I was billed again. I called to sort out this issue and had the rudest customer service rep. who claimed nothing could be done. He (Aaron) would put me on hold for 5+ minutes at a time and come back on the phone saying "sir" after about the 3rd/4th time I called him out on it and asked for a supervisor. He refused and hung up on me. I called back shortly after this and spoke with a colleague of his and she "sent the issue to the branch". Still 4 months later trying to get this resolved... I've tried using the "chat" option and received another rude representative who did not want to help...I called back and spoke with another representative and he let me know I shouldn't have been charged and this claim would be "sent to the branch". I have been trying to have this dealt with but there are no supervisors in reach. I would never recommend Terminix for any type of pest control.

I haven't even had my first actual service yet and I am not pleased. I have two dogs in my home and (obviously) they cannot be home during the initial treatment. I had to contact my kennel to get them in, in July (prime vacation time). It took two weeks for her to fit us in. No big deal for me. I contacted Terminix to reschedule our initial treatment and it was apparently a huge ordeal. They had to transfer me to a different department that informed me "instead of dropping your service we have you rescheduled for X date." As a paying customer I should be able to schedule MY service at MY convenience as long as it is in line with their operating business hours.

I've had Terminix on and off for years (I lived in a part of the country with fewer bugs for a while so did not have it). Overall Terminix is pretty good at bug prevention. There are occasions where some bugs are just great at coming back (tree roaches and ants for instance) and I do wish there was more Terminix did on that front (hence four stars) HOWEVER they always, always send someone out to follow up and respray when that happens. Overall a service I won't live without living in a southern humid climate.

I paid a year in advance to get the discount on my quarterly service with Terminix. I got the basic pest treatment which covers most the inside and outside of the house.

We used to use Alterra, but they were bought out by Terminix in 2015. We did not love Alterra because of how difficult it was to get a technician to come spray when we found bugs inside. Terminix not only kept our pricing as we had with Alterra, but they are much quicker to respond and take care of our needs. Only reason for a 4 star instead of 5 is because it still does a phone call to get someone to spray between quarterly sprays. Would be nice if we could schedule it online or through an app.

We have been with them for over thirty years. While the level of service is always dependent on the technician, we have almost always been pleased with the overall level of service we have received. They are careful and responsive to our pets, to the removal of spider webs, and to other tailored treatments. We have had no issues: if there are any problems, one call, and they are taken care of.

Terminix is by far a very popular business from where I am from. I remember one of the very popular retail chains where I was a pharmacy technician, they used the company Terminix. I know that they came every single month, like clock work to spray the building and the pharmacy. We never had any issues while I worked there. I ended up using the company for personal use in one of my rental properties and they were very quick, fast, and friendly service. They were also able to rid of the issue we were having.

Before moving into our present home, I lived in a least house. I noticed that there was some activity that I assumed were ants in certain areas of the house. I had notified the owner several times about my concerns. I had talked with a coworker about my concerns and they suggested that I call Terminix. Once the Terminix service representative came out, I was informed that my "ants" were actually "termites"! After a thorough examination of the "termite" situation, I received the good news that my situation wasn't as urgent as first thought. Terminix started the process of isolating the termites, sealing the protective areas of the house, and exterminating the pest. This process could have been much worse, but thanks to the expertise, professionalism, and integrity of the Terminix representative the inconveniences and expense was minimal.

I recommend Terminix to all of my clients when a pest inspection is needed on a home. They’re extremely quick to get a technician out and in several instances have found, and eradicated pests on my clients behalf allowing them to move forward with their home purchase. Their customer service is top notch and I’ve never had a loan held up waiting on their inspection.

We switched to Terminix when they hired our previous bug guy. He was so good my wife wanted to change companies. Of course, he continued to do an excellent job. While our neighbors had problems continuously with ants and mice, we never have. He also does an excellent job controlling the spiders that seem to breed in the Redwood trees behind our house. They don't want him to spray, but he keeps them away from our yard!

Our specialist reached out to us when we first moved into the house back in '17. He took the time to inspect the exterior and the interior basement. He had a range of options that fit our budge. We don't need a lot of pest management. The specialist took the time when I had questions and concerns about the care and management of the building with pets inside the home. He made recommendations that wouldn't interfere with our daily lives.

DO NOT USE This company. The customer service is terrible. I was scheduled for a Friday, got a call on Thursday saying it needed moved to Saturday between 8-10. The time came and went with no call and no one showing up. I called customer service, one rep lied, and hung up on me. Called back and was refused access to a manager. Called to cancel after taking my business to Orkin, they didn't even bother asking why I was cancelling. Do not waste your time with this failing Company.

The cost is steep, they schedule apps then tell you the day before (if you're doing this for a rental, one day's notice is unacceptable), their communicating is terrible, & they don't tell you that the seething is auto-renew unless you call & cancel. Customer service needs serious people skills, especially when the customer is pissed off. I will never use them again.

I use terminix for monthly service. Last time they came out, the inspector reported Termite Issues. This led to someone else coming out and inspecting concluding that we had a major infestation, pointing out termite "waste" all over our patio floor. If we didn't pay $1970 on the spot for a plan we would end up needing to tent the house at a cost of $8200. We reluctantly signed up. When they came out to treat the house, the rep said we did not have a major issue. The only problem we had was a small one in some wood on our patio roof (which is 90% plastic) which he treated. The "waste" was wood shavings. He looked in the attic and said there were no issues. He was here for less than an hour, and most of that was on the phone with terminix trying to find out why we were told we had a major problem when we did not. I called to complain. A very understanding rep listened, appalled st my situation and promised it would be addressed. A few days later I found out that a neighbour is getting their house tented for $2100..not exactly $8200). A 'manager" finally called back and proceeded to ignore everything I was telling him, refusing to refund a penny, stating I signed up so I have to pay...I was completely misled by the 2nd person that came out. 1st and 3rd were great. I feel like I was given worse than the "used car salesman" treatment scare mongering at its best. Be very aware and careful before falling for their lies and conman approach, preying on people that don't know... Shame on you terminix. Suffice to say I will be cancelling my monthly service. Do not use this company, they just want your money and will lie and exaggerate issues, then when you find out "tough luck, you signed you pay" I run my own business, if I ran it like this I would not be in business long. I was bullied, and scared into signing up and I have nowhere to turn to..out $1970 for a job that took about 15-20 minutes...I wish I could have left zero stars

$1500 and I didn't even have termites to begin with. CUT AND PASTED FROM THIER WEBSITE CHAT ME-Cancel my service. -Hello, I'm sorry to hear that ... My name is Brandy ... Could you please verify your full name...? -Hi, William! Do you mind me asking why ... cancel services...? ME -I got this service because I found a soft spot in my floors and was worried it might be termites. However, I was under the house this weekend and found that I never had termites only a bit of dry rot. Your inspector should have confirmed that in the first place. -I understand. I am very sorry for that. This is a preventative and curative termite system. (To save words, I'm redacting the sales pitch to renew at a lower rate next year). ME -That first sentence you just typed is a workaround for your inspector scamming me. However, I'm too busy for small claims court, so continue the service until the end of the month but then do not renew it. -You will need to contact us after your July 26 payment to cancel, as we do not do pre cancels. I have reversed your cancellation request at this time, to keep from charging you an ETF! If you do receive a survey via text within the next 2 business days about the cancellation request, please disregard since it has been reversed. Is there anything else I can assist you with? ME -I'm saving this message and if you charge me again after the 26th, we will go to court. I am not giving you permission to stonewall me and renew my contract. -Sir, I'm advising you of our policies and in order to NOT be charged after the 26th, you will need to contact us again. If you do not contact us again, you WILL continue to get charged. ME-I'm advising you of my policy and you better not charge me after the 26th. -Well, then you do need to call us back after the 26th! I won't continue to argue. Have a wonderful week! ME-Let me speak to your supervisor 2:39 PM The conversation has ended. I WAS DISCONNECTED.

The company does good follow up. They are responsive when you call them for any issues with insects. My only frustration with them is the billing system. Their website for billing is very poorly done. You sign a contract for monthly services that occur every two weeks. They bill you every two weeks. They will not bill you monthly. We have two properties and I cannot figure out which one they are billing for which services they are do. They cancel one property more than once without notice. I have consider for the past 20 years of cancelling because I am so tried of having to monthly figure out what the bills is

Horrible customer service over the phone (especially the cancelation department). Made me feel like a "number" rather than a valued customer. Essentially, was told one thing by a representative then a completely different by another. In the end, I had to pay for an extra three months. For this mishap on THEIR end, they didn't apologize or even empathize with me. It's frustrating because to them, $130 is nothing, but to the average hard-working person, that can be a lot. My advice to anyone that uses Terminix, be very cautious of what they tell you about your cancelation dates. Again, the worst part is that my previous service to them didn't matter, I was only money NOT a valued consumer.

Terminix came out to asses our pest situation in a quick manner and was very informative on the options for service. After servicing the entire perimeter for termites, they informed us of how to prevent these pests from returning. We have since become loyal customers with yearly check ins!

Terminix had my contract for termite inspection at my former house. The technicians were always very professional and polite when they visited. They have a good, user friendly website that tells you what you need to know.

I have had Terminix coming out for over a year because my neighbors fumigated for roaches and the roaches ran to my home. they have been treating once every 3 months and the roaches are worse now then when they started. I have told the guy that my son has sever asthma and that he also has a sever allergy to roaches and he said that this would not take but a couple of treatments because they were not bad. The guy said he would come back and retreat every two weeks until they were gone and he has not been back out in almost 2 months. Very disappointed with the service that I have received and will be going with another company.

In August 2019 we had Terminix Pest Control provide our home with a professional estimate for bug infestation of bed bugs. Terminix staff professionally and courteously provided us a prompt estimate. After x3 applications and treatments for bed bugs we believed we had the pest problem under control. We followed all preparation guidelines required by the company before treatment. Including but not limited to: Washing & or heat drying all cloth material clothing in closets, dresser drawers, cabinets and cloth curtains hanging on walls. Washed / heat dried & doubled bagged in plastic containers and plastic bags. We even removed bug infested furniture pieces in living room x4. Over $2.200 spent on services dollars 11 1/2 months later and Terminix wants to charge us for a new application. While this house is under a 12 moth warranty for protection from bed bugs. We are greatly dissatisfied with service. Marty O. Wichita, Kansas

I asked them to come out 6 times to fix my roach issues, they sprayed every crevis, & outside around my entire house. maybe its not due to their lack to resolve the issue, my neighbors have the same problem.

Great job, as promised! Novato, CA

Despite 40 years of Terminix high-end service, small bugs weren't exterminated. The bugs ate holes in $100K of art and rare musical instruments. When I called the service manager to report the disaster, he had a lackadaisical and refused to cover the loss with insurance. Plus, their mosquito eradication is worthless.

This was my first call when scheduling pest control and they were great until I tried out another competitor that was amazing. To be fair, they did nothing wrong but didn’t go above and beyond which isn’t expected just I wouldn’t give excellent as a ranking but they absolutely did not fail me or breach any agreement. I would still use their services as a 2nd option as they are good no doubt.

I only liked the fact that they came out the same day when I needed them. They did a thorough inspection. The quality of work was very good. Their price is reasonable and they guarantee their work. I was told if there are any termites, no extra cost to me.

The people that come out to spray are knowledgeable. If you are having problems with pests, they bait and treat the area of concern. They are friendly. I live in an apartment complex so they come and spray every month or when there are problems.

Our landscaper alerted us to the ugly fact that he found a nest of termites in our sill! What a sinking feeling. Who to trust with your home?? Thank goodness we called Terminix! They showed up on time, confirmed the problem, gave us best and worse case scenarios and a reasonable estimate. The job was quickly and thoroughly completed. Recommended!
