Awful costumer service. For my initial inspection I had to call 3 times, and each time I got different information. Finally scheduled it. They gave me time window of 8 AM till 12 noon for initial inspection. I had to get a half day off from work. They never showed up. I had to call them 4 times, to find out what was going on. And nobody was responsive. The final answer was "the technician is most probably busy with other work, and will call you once done." and they never did call me. They didn't even bother to call me to tell me what was next or to reschedule ... AWFUL. read more

I had Patrick Sweeney come out and perform my annual termite inspection. He was very professional and engaging. He explained everything that he was doing and why. I would highly recommend Patrick and was very satisfied with his service. read more

We have been with Terminix for several years (merged with another company I was using) and thought their service was excellent. However, for the last 2 weeks, I have tried to get them to come out and remove wasp nest. I have called a total of 4 times, held for 15 to 30 minutes each time. When I got through, agent was very apologetic (not her fault) -- but have yet to speak to any kind of supervisor. I have been promise an apt. 3 times -- no show, promised a manager would call 3 times, no calls. Agent scheduled me for 10 days out - I won't hold my breath for this service. I am looking for another service -- one that is not too busy for its long time customers. read more

We were very fortunate to have Patrick Sweeney inspect termites for our house. He patiently explained the issues we had. And he made the practical suggestions for the treatments. Patrick is very knowledgeable about pest control, not just termites. He is passionate about his work. Also cares about his customer. I'll always come back to Patrick for pest control. read more

Stay away from San Jose Terminix. I had sign up 1 year contract with Terminix and has been schedule for Saturday services with my 8 units apartment. All my tenants wait for the service technician to come. "Eric Johnson" the branch manager suppose to come to do the service but he did not show up or call to cancel. All my tenants waist their time since 8am to 5pm Saturday. I called to complains many times and request to speak to the manager or Regional manager to call me back, but no one call me. It's has been 4 days in a row I'd call and still no reponse from Terminix accept the customer service try to email my complain to someone. Anyway end of 4 days, no one called. read more

Why do I use Terminix? Russ. Russ. And Russ. His positive upbeat attitude would have me follow him anywhere. He is one of my favorite human beings. read more

Do Not Use Terminix! They will tell you the bad reviews they get are just a small example of what people say about their service, which has to be an absolute lie. We hired them to address a roof rat problem and got talked into a 1 time perimeter spray. They needed my ladder to access the roof and didn't spray where there were small items against the building like a 4' square piece of chicken wire. When they did the exclusion work once again they needed my ladder. Traps were set under the house and in the attic where rat droppings were present. The rats still got in and even after several types of bait was used, they never caught a single rat. I bought 2 bait stations on my own and guess what? No more rats for 4 months. I thought that they returned 1 week prior to the end of the contract and placed 7 calls for service which were never returned. Don't get ripped off by these people. read more

My Terminix technician, Brandon, has been great, working around my crazy schedule this summer. I have a new locked gate so that has made it much more difficult for him to gain access when I am not home. He has done extra treatments for spiders and ticks. I have a huge yard, so extra means 2/3 of an acre. Awesome job! read more

We just set up an appointment for termite estimate, but they never showed up and no follow-up call/update whatsoever. Worst/No customer service! read more

Excellent Service. Knowledgeable. Responsive. These are the qualities one seeks when needing quick eradication of home destroying termites. I reached out to Rick Ventura and he responded quickly and professionally. He visited the property. Diagnosed the problem. Took care of it. I am so pleased with him and his service! I wish every service professional could watch him work! He genuinely cares and is doing this job to serve the people of his community. -- Terminix is extremely fortunate to have such an amazing company ambassador. I imagine one day he will be CEO! read more

I made two appointments for them to come out to my house they never showed up not even a car so after the second time of them not showing up I called and went off on them I told him how unhappy I was so they scheduled me another appointment and said it would be early in the morning however when I called to find out where the technician was they said my appointment wasn't until three to five p.m. which is ridiculous I would've never agreed to that I have small children I'm not going to keep my kids out of the house and out onto the streets until nine o'clock at night please never use these people read more

Farad Azimi did an excellent job in the inspection of our property. I had a few questions & he provided excellent answers.I did attempt several times to reschedule the appointment & was unsuccessful at this. Fortunately, it all worked out. read more

We had our termite situation inspected by Patrick who was courteous and clearly knowledgeable about the subject. He spent time providing us with different options on dealing with these pests which was quite useful as it will help us to look for other places that might have the problem in future. Would also say he was professional as he gave us a heads-up that he was running late from an earlier appt. read more

I really wish I read these reviews BEFORE I hired them to fumigate my house. Paid them to fumigate 3 structures because they are all connected but they only did 1. They charged and took our money for all 3 structures. Keep calling them no response. Patrick Sweeney, Rick, Steven Hurley all avoiding our calls and not making any efforts to rectify their mistake! This place is very unprofessional and all they care about is taking your money. Save yourself a huge hassle and use Proven instead. read more

After 15 years I am calling it quits with terminix. As long as you don't need them they are fine. The minute you do... forget it. I was able to get three other companies to offer immediate response. With terminix I get a lot of can I validate who you are? When did you call? That is not what is on the order? Let me send you manager.. get voicemail. Call, center manager daniel doesn't take calls. Enough. I will also be contacting the better business bureau. The only calls I got back were three customer service survey calls... you can imagine the rating they got. read more

Terminix came out today to do a home inspection. Patrick Sweeney was prompt, professional, funny and quite knowledgeable. I really liked the guy. I totally recommend him. He is not only well versed regarding termites, but is the go to guy should you have any rodent issues. read more

If you live in San Jose and need pest control, look for another provider. My initial visit they were 1 hour late over the window. That was the first indication of lack of customer service. I had a ant invasion, a month later. Called the number, they said someone would spray 2 days later. No one showed up during the window. Called again, they said it was supposed to be the day before, of course no one came then. They apologized, and rescheduled for now a Monday, 3 more days of ants! Monday rolls around, and again a no show. I call again, they tell me it was rescheduled to thursday. No one contacted me the change. Another 2 hours wasted waiting for no one, I am done! They don't care about their customers time. This is not service. Don't waste your time, they will if you sign up for their service read more

Rick is an outstanding front man. I call him the "difficult client Whisperer". Sheila -- grouchy old woman freaked out by rats.

Pam Williams was incredibly nice to work with. She was responsive, thorough, and pleasant when conducting our inspection & helping us get scheduled for pest, rodent and termite service. Highly recommend Pam! read more

We had Patrick Sweeney from Terminix come in to do a full house inspection suspecting dry wood termite activity. He was very professional and humorous in the way he explained about termites. He had the whole house inspected including the basement and the attic for rats. We were extremely satisfied with his service. read more

Michael Barry was very helpful in discussing the pros/cons of a fly zapper and fly control, wasp control and other potential problems. His communication skills in explaining the situation/evaluating my situation was excellent. I have not had any ant problems lately. If you need an exterminator, Terminix is the one. read more

I have used them for the last four year. The protection I receive from having annual inspections is huge and gives me peace of mind.

Dishonest company. The sales person Christine Nicholson overcharged me $394 and I can not get the credit back. Christine came to my house on 12/31. She stated that if I signed the contract for fumigation that day I would get 10% discount on the service and would pay $1530. She showed me the last screen on her ipad (which did not show the amount) and asked me to sign. After I signed and gave her my credit card I received an email that I was charged $1924.10 because I did not receive a discount and was also charged for additional prepaid renewal that I specifically declined. Chrsine promised that she would credit the difference the next day. It has been three weeks and I still can not get money back. I contacted Chrstine several times but she just came up with excuses that she could not get information from her manager Mr. Hurley. At this point I am initiating legal actions against Terminix seeking compensatory as well as punitive damages for fraud. Please do yourself a favor and look for another company. read more

Great service for sales and quick response. Price is for fumigation is reasonable.

A zero-star review: I contracted with Terminix to do a 10-hour, whole-house heat treatment. After preparing (making arrangements for family, pets, plants, and heat-sensitive items to be elsewhere), they never showed up. Was on hold 15-35 minutes with every call to the call center. They confirmed the appointment but couldn't confirm the service and only said that someone would show up by 5pm -- which didn't make sense since the 10-hour procedure was supposed to be over around then. After I asked repeatedly, they gave me direct numbers of 3 site managers, but no one ever answered and the voicemail boxes were always full. At 11:30, the original inspector returned a message I left and said he'd get to the bottom of it. Never heard back from him. At 6:30pm, one of the site managers left a message asking how the procedure went that day. I had to leave a message when I called back (he didn't answer again, though the mailbox was open now) saying it didn't happen. It's been almost 2 months, and no one from Terminix has ever replied or reached out. No apology or explanation. No request to reschedule. Nothing. read more

service rep is friendly and courteous. We have had them for some years. The phone reminder as well as in person contact is helpful because in recent years we got a puppy. Never had concerns about billing or service. read more

They email me and call to remind me they are coming and I appreciate the work they do when they come. I like that they give recommendations for my trees to avoid the Rats that come in the summer. I have never had any concerns with billing or service. read more

Patrick Sweeney sold us on a rodent exclusion plan. Afterwards, I tried to call Terminix to get an explanation of how they arrived at the rather high price. After several tries at reaching a manager, nobody has attempted to call me back. Their customer service number apparently does not reach the local office??? I have no complaint with the workers that came to do the initial work. However, they do not show up when they say they will.... always late. read more

Easy to book online, with fast and friendly service. Effective treatment at a fair price.

Jose Chabre has been servicing my home for a long time now and I really appreciate the work he does. He is so kind to my dog and always listens to my concerns whether it's ants, spiders, wasps etc. He also explains the service he is doing and answers any questions I might have. He is a great asset to Terminix. read more

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE, It's THE SAN JOSE OFFICE IN PARTICULAR, I called terminix for a pest control inspection, on Oct 13, 2016, Pam came out and did the inspection, she said I needed many things done, which was fine, I'm not an expert on this she supposedly is, she told me what the cost would be, over $1,000.00, she said they would close up holes in the basement and do treatment, I agreed gave her a check and she called to see if someone was available to come out the next day, Fri, Oct 14, 2016, someone was available and they came out, very nice person, he said that he has been doing this kind of work for a while now. I discussed with him what pam and I discussed the day before. He told me something different which made a lot of sense and he closed up 1 hole about 1/4" wide and put some metal screens up. The workers who come out are wonderful people, very polite and courteous. It's management that has the problem. This does not cost over $1,000.00, I have spoken to pam then someone named kelvin, who I think got fed up with me calling him because after a while he stopped calling me back and had pam start calling me. I DESERVE A REFUND. I called pam on Dec.6, 2016, told pam that if I didn't hear from someone by Fri, Dec. 9, 2016 that I would write a review on yelp, I have not heard from anyone read more

Reading over some other local Terminix reviews, it seems my experience is about par for the course. The technicians are great, 4 stars for them. However, their appointment system is completely broken. We have been using them for years, and only recently have we needed some in-house service, so it is possible that the system has been messed up for longer than I realized. You schedule an appointment via a call center in Dallas, not through the local office. We have had multiple (5+) no-shows in the last few months - in fact their hit rate is probably less than 10%. When you call to inquire what happened, they often tell you that the appointment was "auto-cancelled" or some such nebulous answer, but it's always you calling them, they literally never call to inform you that an appointment was cancelled. So you waste your time and/or take off work unnecessarily. The call center will offer to contact the local office for you, but they will not allow you to contact the local office directly, and then the local office never calls back. The only time anyone from the local office bothered to contact me was when I submitted an honest, but poor, review through their survey system - however, ironically, when I responded to their email asking me "what could they do to make things better", they again never answered back. It would have been almost comical had it not been so unbelievably frustrating. So finally I gave up and cancelled my service. Do NOT recommend. read more
