Seems ad is FALSE -- Terminex claims the dry wood termites just discovered are NOT COVERED under my policy - after been under contract with them for many years - am very disappointed and angry at Terminex. I wonder how many other elderly people like me trusted Terminex only to find a claim denied because they have the "wrong kind" of termites? also this comment did not go through - I'll keep trying though, THIS rejection of valid complaint really makes me angry!

We have been loyal customer since 2004 and just had our annual Inspection and they found NO Termites, again. But, we just received our Annual renewal and it went up from $237.00 per year to $999.00 per year. They say the increase is because of the 'Increase in Formosan Termite activity along the Gulf Coast'. We definitely plan to find another Termite exterminating & bonding Company today.

Terminix bought out the company who had my orginal termite bond. In the last year they have scheduled 2 appointments that they never showed up for. Called 2 other times to make an appointment to come inside but when I gave them the dates that someone would be home they said they would have to call back to schedule those dates. Never called back. They increased from $215 to $999 with no warning or explanation. I would give them zero stars if I could.

We have had a termite bond since we purchased our house in the early 1990s. The rates have increased steadily of course over the years. Last year we paid $318. I just received a bill for $1499.00 for this years renewal. REALLY!!! Supposedly due to the fact that the weather in this area create ideal conditions for Formosan termites. The weather in this area has been this way for longer than Terminix or I have been around. WHO increases renewal fees five times the renewal amount in one year. All they have ever done for us is wander around our house for a few minutes once a year. NOT happy.

I currently have a termite control plan with Terminix. They have numerous bait stations installed around my home but I have to force them to inspect the bait in the stations each year for any termite activity. In past years the only effective method to force inspection of the stations is withhold annual renual payments.

20% price increase on annual contract for termites is above and beyond normal. When questioned why this large increase reply only small increases are neccessary. Since when is 20% a smal increase? Increase is from approx. $300 to approx. $360. I have always put up with small (5 to 10%) increases in my over 40 years with this company but this increase appears to be padding the profits because there is no increase in service. I live in Little Rock, AR not Dallas, TX

Horrible Customer Service. Recently increased my rate almost $100 and did not notify customer until annual fee was due. When contacted was told they had a rate increase and did not matter what conditions were stipulated in the contract.

I scheduled an appointment with TTC a week in advance. I received an email confirmation. TTC did not show up. I called and was given the inspector's name (Jason). He did not call me at all. This is a lousy business. I will never do business with this company.

Terrible customer service! I phoned two times requesting written information on what is covered in the plan, the second time on hold for 15 minutes while Holly checked with a supervisor. Then I was told the information would be e mailed to me (after checking my e mail address).I never received it. The first time I called about three weeks prior, I was told the local office would contact me within a day or two, but never received any contact. For over twenty years I have subscribed to this plan and I used to receive a warranty with each yearly payment, but that has been discontinued. So I want a written guarantee before renewing the plan this year. As it has not been... Read More
