Very professional, friendly, courteous and prompt. It is difficult to find anyone needing a subcontractor for maintenance or otherwise here in the Hill Country. I'm happy I contacted Terminix for a critter problem, like scorpions!

I have been a customer for at least ten years. The service is affordable and the team has been responsive to my needs. Each season comes with its own pest control challenges, but I have to do is call and schedule service. My technician is very respectful and has been protecting my home for at least seven years. It speaks highly of the company that there is limited turnover. I highly recommend that you consider Terminix for your pest control service.

I have had Terminix for about 20 years. Never really had any issues. Whenever a new technician starts, they always listen to the way I like things done. If I ever have activity in between services, I just call up and they do a retreat, no questions asked. I've always had very friendly techs. I wouldn't ever consider using anybody else. Thank you Terminix

We have used Terminix in Waco Tx. area for over 10 years. They are excellent. The service people are always responsive to our requests, they return when requested and do a great job. They sweep down the wasp nests, kill the fire ant nests, and treat for all types of bugs! We have a problem with scorpions which took several treatments to resolve. They returned each time we called.

We have been using Terminix quarterly service around the exterior of our home for 15+ years. Living near a great deal of open space we get a lot of varmits and bugs. Terminix helps us keep that in check and they make spending time in our yard pleasurable. They are professional and inform us when they will be on our property at least 48 hours prior to. For us we have enjoyed having the same gentleman service our home for nearly all of the time we have been using Terminix. That make their service in our eyes the absolute best!!!
