As far as Terminix is concerned, it’s not enough to offer The Ultimate Protection Guarantee — the strongest guarantee in the business — for qualified residential homes.

They also offer an easier way to manage your concerns and requests with their online account management option and FAQs. And the company prides itself on providing hassle-free service with 24-hour customer support assistance to all their clients.

Eco-Friendliness

Terminix is both QualityPro and GreenPro certified by the National Pest Management Association.

To maintain the GreenPro certification, Terminix must show that it combines treatment methods and innovative practices that reduce the use of pesticides that are harmful for the environment.

One example is Terminix’s revolutionary mosquito solution that has a natural active ingredient that’s safe for the environment, people and pets.

And their attic and crawl space insulation is ENERGY STAR certified, meaning it’s been proven to reduce heating and cooling costs by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Terminix offers both one-time and regular service plans for your termite control needs. Installation fees may apply for some services, but they’re happy to provide free inspections and evaluations.

They’re also so confident in their customized services, that they’ll come back at no cost to you in between scheduled services if you are ever less than 100% satisfied.**

The online advertisement for 24/7 service is not accurate. We were just told we had to wait 48 hours before service could be provided to respond to a flurry of flying ants or termites that swarmed into our front door. Other than that, I'm sure their service is great based on their 5-star rating. Recommend to modify the response time so no one is disappointed...we immediately contacted another service (4 1/2 stars ) that not only provided insight on what could be the issue and could attend to our dilemma first thing in the morning! At least their advertisement did not mislead they could respond with 24/7 service.

Terminex said they would be here Monday 1-3. No show/no call. I called them then they said Tuesday 3-5. No show/no call. I called again. Now they say Thursday 3-5. I called again. They had to send the manager an email! I will never use them again. Unreliable!
