I have been a loyal Terminix customer for several years; however, I am extremely disappointed with the ongoing service issues every year. Technicians have repeatedly been sent to my property every year without a scheduled appointment, which is unacceptable and disruptive. In addition, there have been recurring problems with the bait stations, causing unnecessary stress each year--despite my account being paid in full. Despite paying $466.25 a year for bait changes, techs are instructed not to change them by their supervisors. Managers need to be sent to customer service training to be able to address simple issues. Due to yearly issues, I have canceled my account. Not worth the yearly stress. read more

A year and a half after getting their initial termite treatment we discovered major structural damage due to a major infestation that went undetected. Mind you they came a few times after we complained about persisting signs of termites. "Elimination takes a few months" they will tell you.. the only thing that was eliminated is our structural beam.. We are about to take a huge loan to fix all the structural damages. The "inspection" is basically a sales pitch, without a detailed report or action items. These guys are really incompetent and don't understand termites beyond the brochure they give you. read more

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!This company i agree is the worst. They mislead you and false advertisement. I had the service of exclusion since 2016 and was told if j stop one yr of service i would have to restart and pay another couple of thousand. So pretty much i was mislead they would always show up as many times as needed if i had rodents present. This year the technician found several holes and i asked him since the first year no one has gone under the deck To see if there are new openings he said to call again bc he had to go we weren't able to open the lattice covering the area *.So i called and another technician came and said he wouldn't go under the deck be called his supervisor Henry and he confirmed he wasn't allowed. After several weeks of trying to get a supervisor on phone HENRY said he would follow up and as always they never call back. I called headquarters they said they would get this resolved. Henry appeared at my house 12/2024 and said no my men cant go under there its to Small it has to be at least three feet . Its actually 4' he is so incompetent. Came with the excuse that their policy has changed since 2016 about going into crawl spaces. I asked when was it changed and can i see it. He had no response. If there Was a policy change they should inform consumers of this and i would have discontinued then. This is false propaganda that they check the total perimeter of the house . I paid 1800 2016 to start and decided to keep it because they did a thorough job that first time and only time and now that i have issues they refused to look under the deck. This company is deceiving and manipulates you to believe they will continue to service you as from day. I intend to report this to consumer affairs for fraudulent advertising. I advised anyone and everyone to stay away from this company they need to be shutdown and stop stealing peoples money and false advertisement of what they do. read more

This company takes your money without actually soving the issue. They prey on the fears associated with the issue at hand. Customer service is non existent. They do not call back, they do not return calls or messages. Even managers that tell you to call or text do not reply. They send text messages to customers only to realize the messages were sent to the wrong customer. When you call multiple times and there are no notes of your call, that is another concern. 2 years later, all baits are clean and your pest issue still exists. Negative review is what this company needs. As long as they have your money, that's all that matters to them. Stay away read more

Still waiting on this joke of a company to refund the money they had promised and I have documented a month ago! Do not waste your time with Terminix they strive to steal your money! I have been contact by "AI" Message, "Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We apologize for your recent experience and would like to help you. Please send us an e-mail at social.support@rentokil-terminix.com along with a copy of your review.-Erica. This is BS don't be fooled shop else wear, I wish I had check Yelp first there is no positive review on this company at all. I have placed attention on this to Facebook and Twitter. I also have reached to all the local MOM groups in the area. All these group hire from reference in these groups or don't you hire based on bad experiences. Time to end Termnix. read more

0 stars!!!!!! Here I am wasting my time with this review. First, they are NOT 24/7. It's the customer service center that is 24/7 and they are a joke. They just relay your appointments to the local stores. Even after I "successfully" made an appointment with them, I got a call from the manager Kevin less than 24hrs from my appointment time and he just canceled it. He reschedules me for a month later, and the night before my appointment the exterminator texts me to confirm my appointment. Still, he ends up being a no show because he had 16 appointments that day. How the heck do you give the exterminator 16 jobs when you know that's impossible for him to finish. It's not like the jobs are located in one area, it's all scattered. You would think that if they never got to your appointment, they will put you first for the next day or reschedule you as soon as possible but common sense is just not so common. It's been a week and I still haven't heard from them to "try" to reschedule. 90+ years experience and they can't get their stuff together, just pay a little more and use another company. Luckily I found another company for a little bit more money but well worth it. The other place came the next day! No stress and reliable people!!! read more

I moved into a new home and saw something, so I called Terminix to come. Terminix told me I should expect someone, gave me a time 8am-5pm so I stayed home all day waiting. When no One showed Up I called and they told me I had no appointment. I have called numerous times and no one calls back, and several times, while I'm on hold, the representative transfers me to another. Bottom line., they don't return calls and no appointment made :( read more

Do not use Terminix. The absolute worst company. 1 - The Staten Island branch is completely unresponsive. You can't even leave a message because their inbox is full!!!! 2 - Terminix "technicians" are terrible. They show up for less than 3 minutes and then leave. Other than being able to use a spray can, they are completely useless. I asked them why do I continue to see carpenter ant related dust in my garage and they look at me like I was the problem. 3 - Calling the 1800 number to get my "100% satisfaction guarantee" is a complete and utter failure. You just get a runaround. read more

I Paid $2000 3 years ago to eliminate termites from my house and Lord and behold we still have termites 2 years later asking for a refund and they give me the run around Terminix is not a good company read more

Worst experience ever! I got an appointment and a quote. My card got charged. Then I had a call back from the local office, the expert was extremely rude, they told me they will actually charge me the double of the initial quote and couldnt make the date, and couldnt for over a week. read more

If I could I would give a 0. I've been using terminix for years now and the service has gone downhill the last 2-3 years. They make appointments and never show, not even a call. Made an appointment 10 days ago and this morning they left a message while I'm at work to say the service person had a death in the family and they rescheduled for July 11 between 7-11! Really two weeks later? You don't have extra help to cover? Regina who keeps leaving messages is beyond incompetent, does she really think that's acceptable to leave a message for an appointment two weeks later? Not even an apology, guess she doesn't know how customer service works, you accommodate the client not the other way around. She needs to find a new profession, customer service is definitely not for her. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY, don't waste your money. Reporting them to BBB. read more

Terminix is fantastic when they actually show up for a scheduled appointment. Not so great when they change you appointment, don't notify you, and leave you sitting on your ass with a wasted day off work. Next! read more

WOW holy crap! DO NOT USE this TERMINIX!!! OR ANY! Seriously there is no customer service. It's non existent. You have been warned! read more

DO NOT USE!!! HORRIBLE! After I booked my appointment they never showed up. They never called nor did they answer their phone when I called MANY times. Eventually, I called a corporate number I found online and was told that the company was aware of a problem with the Staten Island technicians. I was told there was another appointment before mine that the technician never showed up to either. AND, to my surprise, the corporate number advised me that a S.I. technician rescheduled my service to another day without my consent or knowledge! This is a horrible way to run a business & I will never call this place again. On a sidenote, Staten Island has a serious prescription drug/heroine epidemic. I can't help but wonder if the people working in this office have issues with drugs as well. I just can't imagine why/how someone would run a business this poorly. So beware, you never know. According to the reviews here on yelp this seems to be an ongoing problem. Shame on them and shame on Terminix for allowing themselves to contract out work to truly incompetent people. read more

DO NOT USE THIS BRANCH! READ THIS OR YOU WILL LOSE MONEY LIKE I DID: I had a roach problem and signed up for a contract with terminix, after reading about their 100% Money back guarantee within 30 days. While the company and its website might paint a picture of great customer service and prompt responses, THIS BRANCH in particular is terrible. Here are some key problems: 1. Their first inspection was supposed to be on Tuesday between 2-4 pm. The representative never showed up, and never bothered to inform me. After making a call to the national customer service, they tell me the rep is not even at work today! They then proceed to reschedule me for an appointment a week later. 2. After this second appointment, during which they sprayed insecticide, I was dissatisfied with the service. I called to ask for a refund (based on their website guarantee) and this branch said NO!! Particularly, one (unnamed) employee and the manager, Remir, were curt and have ignored all attempts from the national customer service to provide refunds or even speak to me. Terrible experience. I really hope you don't give them business, I'd suggest using another (better) extermination service. These people are crooks. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. 0/10. read more

Worst customer service. They don't return messages and never call you back as promised when you try to schedule appointments. There is no way to contact local branch. When you call the main number they never relay the message to the local office or the local office just chose not to call you back. When they do show up unannounced they check maybe 3 or 4 termite bait stations out of 18. Will not renew at the end of contract period. read more

I signed up for new subscription and I did not even get a tech to show up on the scheduled day or time. After 1 hour of waiting past the 10-12 pm window they assigned me no one called to say they were running late. I called the company and that's where the nightmare began..unanswered calls, transfers to different numbers, callbacks from representatives with just dead air, chat lines with a greeting and after my request was given I got no response, a total disaster. Please stay away from this company. I gave a 1 rating because zero was not an option. read more

DO NOT USE TERMINIX!!! worse service I have ever experienced. ..took 6 months for them to not even complete the job of installing termite bait stations around my house. they started and then told me another technician would come and drill in the concrete areas around half the house. this never happened after multiply appointments made and phone calls no one showed up. finally got a hold of a regional manager after 6 months and they offered a refund read more

Have a yearly contract. They called to do a complimentary "inspection". Never showed up for the appointment. Four days later called to come by in 20 minutes. Turned out to be over an hour. Cancelled the appointment. Not waiting for people who can't keep their word. Or decide to stop for coffee. read more

I don't ever leave reviews but this time I felt I had to. today I had terminex come to my apartment and spray for bugs and mice. All was good until I came into my bedroom and seen my white walls were all scratched and damaged. I use the wall everyday for a projector that I watch and now it's all scratched up and ruined. This is not acceptable at all. If you use terminex make sure you stay there and watch what they do. they don't care at all so you need too! read more

Very poor customer service. I made 2 appointments. No shows. No call. Nothing. Finally, after throwing a fit to Terminix customer service, they show up on December 28th. I have a service agreement that is not being appropriately honored. Then, today I get an email at 1:09 pm that technician is on his way. How?! What?!!! I never scheduled anything with them for today. Then a 2nd email that states job completed. What job? Just lies! I doubt if they ever came. They cannot get into the backyard. It's locked. Lies! They are staying that they are completing jobs that they have not done. read more

When I first contacted Terminix they came and did an internal and external service. Now over a year later, I got a different tech to check the traps. He informed me that one trap was done incorrectly, and he told me to contact the company. I did and explained the situation. They sent the same tech whose job was not to repair traps. He didn't have the equipment necessary. He contacted the manager and that was the last I heard from them. They are very good about sending requests for more money but nothing else. I am sorry I ever started with them. Worst company ever. read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!! The salesperson Matt, pressured me to sign a contract which you can rescind, cancel in a few days. If you are reading this - cancel your contract now,now,now. They never showed at the time scheduled, came when no one was here, and did one door, not the entire house as contract stated. Called to scheduled to finish job, one ever came back, but I did get a bill for $1,200. Still do, I can't believe they are still in business. read more

i wish i had seen the reviews before using this company. i see everyone else is having the same problem. do not use this terminex! they take your money then r3fuse to come! they have dodged me for weeks, they block my number from calling to make an appointment, refuse to call back, they make faje appointments then make more fake appointments which they then cancel last minute! they will steal your m9ney then refuse to provide the service you pay for! do not use these people and make sure you file a formal complaint with the bbb! read more

There is not enough time in the World--or space in this post--to tell you how awful my experience with Terminix was. But if for no other reason than to vent my rage, here I go (in order of atrocity): * I set my appointment for a 3-5 PM time slot. When the tech did not show, I called customer service to follow up. I was told that they never set my appt. and it took half an hour to sort it out. Eventually I rescheduled for later that week. After I hung up the phone, the tech showed up. It turns out I did have an appt. the whole time . . . the tech was just late. * Since I was concerned about my cat, I asked customer service (in advance of my appt) what chemicals were involved. The rep told me that they do not use kill agents "because that would be harmful to kids and pets", so they use repellants instead ("the equivalent of a stink bomb to a human"). Satisfied with this answer, I made my appt. When the tech showed up with a canister of chemicals, he told me the customer service rep was dead wrong and they use straight-up pesticide. * While spraying, the technician--who inappropriately asked me about a picture of me and my husband--accidentally cracked the gas line behind the stove. He acted unaware until I said I smelled gas . . . and he concurred. To test for a possible gas leak, he asked for a match to light around the gas valve. His theory was, if the flame grows, there's a leak. The flame didn't grow so he left assured I'd be fine. Long story short, the next morning I called the gas company who said I had been leaking gas all night. When I called Terminix to complain about this, the customer service rep defended her technician. * Although I pointed out to the technician that the invoice had the wrong price on it--and made him manually correct it--I was still overcharged. I called and was assured that they would credit it back to my credit card. When the credit did not appear, I called again. It turns out they chose to put the credit towards future service w/ Terminix instead. * The treatment did not work so a couple weeks later I called for a free follow-up appt. under their 24-hour service guarantee. When I could not get an appt. for 2 weeks, I was told that their "guarantee" doesn't really take into account their actual schedule. Not until I spoke to a cancelation agent did I get an appt. in 2 days. * When the 2nd technician came, he told me that there was no way to solve the problem (without getting into my building's unaccessible basement); that the last tech left the wrong bait traps; that he did not have enough time to talk to me about other possible solutions because he had other appointments to get to; oh, and did I mention that he spent the ENTIRE conversation staring at my BREASTS! Basically he just wanted to spray and leave, which he did. Ummm, I think 'nuff said. Call Orkin instead. read more

Poor Customer Service. They failed to show up for one appointment and I had to reschedule. When they failed to show up for the second appoinment, I called and found out my appointment had been rescheduled without my knowledge. I was told a branch manager would call me back and they never did. I cancelled my contract with this location. On the other hand, I have Terminix in another state for over ten years and I have been satisfied with their service. read more

Do not use this service. I can confirm what all the other reviewers said. This office is completely unreliable. It is impossible to get an appointment and when they do show up, they are not committed to solving the problem. I purchased a very expensive exclusion service for mice. The techs were to block all entry to mice, filling any cracks or holes inside and outside of the house. The salesperson was very friendly and so were the first techs to service our home. Afterward, it was downhill. I have had techs try to cancel at the last minute; refuse to do any work to fill holes that were missed the first time, claiming it was too soon. My initial payment was not credited and to get anything done you have to call the 800 number several times. Very unprofessional. read more

do not use terminix. you sign a contract and pick a time slot and no one will show up or call you. every number they have listed goes to the same call center. i have made 2 appointments this week and no one has showed up. i dont know how they can run business like this. i am currently trying to get a refund. i do not want to deal with this company, i hope that i should see all this feedbacks before i call them. Please DO NOT CALL TO THIS COMPANY. I WANT MY MONEY BACK. read more

DO NOT USE THEM!! Burn your money before you use them! This company is a waste of money- Call ORKIN- I cancelled them a year ago after they came out 6xs for fleas- Called ORKIN and they where gone after 1 application- I called them again thought I give them another try- :Unprofessional- and always late- come back in the house after they spray and no chemicals- complaint after complaint and still a long suffering summer of fleas-- and threw everything out- no rugs bathed the dogs twice a week- washed aggressively- and I still 3moths later have larvae- IGR suppose to kll the life cycles- WHAT ARE YOU USING TERMINX? Is not working! you SUCK! read more

DO NOT CALL OR USE THIS COMPANY. This company to reevaluate there business model because I had scheduled an appointment for service and the technician didn't even call or show up the first time. Then to find out that my account was canceled. After being on the phone to get service reinstated the next technician did call but did nothing and said I needed a flush and vac. So i say yes lets do it and he proceeds to said that he was going to put in a new appointment for the inspector to come and they never showed up again. Only for me to call and find out that my account was canceled again read more

DO NOT SIGN A CONTRACT with Terminex!!!!! After months of calling trying to get an appointment, they failed to show up 4 TIMES!!! Even though you have an annual contract with them, it doesn't matter, as the manager who called me after my contract expired explained. $1,200 fee only covers the initial appointment, they are not obligated to come and fix the issue if pest come back!!! So they just didn't show up. The worst company ever!!! No one cared, no one called back for months read more

i've been dealing with terminix for over a month now for dealing with my ant problem. it's a long story so i'll try to make it interesting but you guys should be as bored and frustrated as i've been dealing with termnix for hours on end. the first time i had someone do service, they were more than an hour late. thanks for wasting my time and being unprofessional. they spent all of 10 minutes spraying in the kitchen and outside. the ants were still there but i was warned that would happen for a least 2-3 weeks. how convenient for you guys to take advantage of an industry where people don't understand how something works. you can say the ants have made their home here and biologically speaking it would be wrong to move them, it'd have the same affect. to do a job and say it'll work in 2-3 weeks is crazy but ok. in 3 weeks more ants than before were back so i called to schedule an another appt. the times available were during the day when people are at work. i scheduled for a time i can be home. taking off work! using a vacation day! the person never showed up. never called to cancel. it wasn't until i called that they told me he wasn't showing up. again, thanks for wasting my time, a vacation day and money. still battling with ants. rescheduled for saturday so that i don't have to take another day. 9 am - 11am . at around 9, i call to confirm we're still on. yes, we're on expect someone to come within 2 hours. 11:30- nobody came. i call back and the tech or manager cannot be reached. hope he's ok but do i really care. no! they asked if i can reschedule and told to go about my day, nobody is coming today ok so i want my money back. apparently not so easy. i call back, stay on hold, talk to someone else. they still can't find the manager of the branch. i'm promised a phone call back the next day. father's day. lovely day to spend waiting for a back that never came. monday, i call back again. nobody in cs is authorized to refund me money. tuesday i get a call back in the middle of the day from someone at the branch but alas i'm at work making up hours i missed the day before on the phone with terminix and the week prior waiting for a man to never show up. isn't that life, ladies. call back. long wait time. can't hold. have a life that i'm trying to keep together. call back again today. i'm told that someone from the branch tried to reach out 3 times. total lie. like the same lie that they'll call back and the lie that they'll actually do the service they're contracted to do. or the lie that satisfaction is guaranteed. lies! they called back once. i call back. what a surprise, the call goes to the call center where nobody is authorized to do anything. i yell at the poor girl i'm speaking with because i'm at my wits end and my blood pressure has risen. i'm only 31 terminix shouldn't be able to make me sick but you do. you make me sick.my voice is hoarse now and angel had a shit morning because of me. not cool. so now i'm waiting for a call from the branch manager and the regional manger, akim bamgbose. i'd love to put down even more money to bet on how this will be resolved. hope this was both entertaining but i do need my money back. i do need to not spent anymore time with this. also, i can make friends with others that his has happened to. look at the yelp reviews attached. i'm not a person to mess with someone's life or livlihood but how anybody at the staten island branch still has a job is beyond me. i picked terminix because it's a big company and should be good at what they do but when you contract people who have no respect for people time or money and don't do a service, you're tarnishing your name and reputation hope someone can help! read more

Terrible service, complete rip off. I paid $1007, they came 5 times, within a month, made my parents life a hell since each visit requires so much preparation and bed bugs were still in appartment. I had to cancel their service and hire another company. right now I filed small claim suit. read more

TERRIBLE SERVICE TERRIBLE COMPANY TO DEAL WITH. Wish I could give -0 stars. The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing so to speak. Would call 877 number to schedule appointment then days later Staten Island location would call to reschedule appointment that I made because they were completely booked for that day. Mind you this didn't happen once or twice it happened probably about 5x from the beginning of my contract 2/17 till now. It became a vicious cycle of me calling, them rescheduling and me calling the 877 number to complain. Each time I called the 877 number the matter was escalated to make the branch location aware of the situation. Mind I am taking care of a terminally ill parent. I wasted time and energy on the phone with no resolve. Everyone passes the buck. If you decided to go with terminix you will play vicious cycle of cat and mouse. If you want to waste your precious minutes on the phone and have your appointments rescheduled several times then go with terminix. Oh I forgot to mention they refunded me $118 for all my aggravation. HARD LESSON LEARNED SHOULD OF STAYED WITH ORKIN. Never had a problem and manager always got back to me the same day. read more

I used them and their treatment works however they lock you into a regular 4 times a year treatment with 140.00 due each time. After canceling they continue to show up at your door unannounced, and spray then bill you. Then you go back and forth with customer service. They credit your account. The following quarter, they show up again and spray and bill your account. You will literally have to get a Pest Control Service to remove Terminix from your life. They are WORSE than the pests themselves. You cannot get rid of them. read more

Staten Island Branch, BAAAAAAAAAD, SUCKS, HORRIBLE. DO NOT USE THEM. If i can give them negative stars i will. Worst company i ever delt with in my life. Horrible customer service. Your house will be overrun by insects and everything else before they acknowledge your problem and give you service. Once they got the contract signed and got their money, then see you later looser. Their technicians are pre madonna, they don't touch anything and the spend less than 10 minutes on 3500SF home. My issue got worst after they came in, and i had to make 12 calls, no joke 12 phone calls with massive amount of notes in the their system, and no one ever contacted me nor provided any service that i paid for. The only time the local office called is when i canceled the contract. DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING with THIS BS company. Go with your local small business company that have pride in their quality of work and better customer service. read more

S T O P ! ! ! ! DO NOT CALL THIS COMPANY!!!!! Called 347.201.4309 and explained the need. Waited several days for local Terminix team to call and pin-point an appointment time. Finally had to call them, only to find that the local team still had not been sent the request from corporate answering service. We selected a 4-hour time window, and they were to call in advance -- and never did. The issue is much too urgent to rely on a company that cannot even properly schedule appointments. Decided to contact others for our need. Dont let this company waste your time!! read more

I would give negative -5 star if possible! Being such a big company who claims their specialty is help families resolve pest issues, I expected a lot more than what I experienced. We found termites in our basement and we called terminix to come our for an inspection. The inspector came out and said we have termites (which we already knew) and said the solution was to put baits around the house. We agreed and spend over 1500$ for the bait stations. Since termites are a seasonal thing, we hoped next year the stations would have resolved the issue. Now fast forward a year, we again saw termites, so we called terminix to come out for an inspection, which they didn't schedule until the following week even though at the time we signed the contract the rep told us they will come out the same day. The inspector came and I told him the activities are in the basement, he went down, took a look and got some spray to spray it. At this time, I told him, the termites are likely inside the house and I see there are wood damages on the door frame, spraying is not going to resolve the issue. (by this time, I have done enough research about termites to know) He just said, oh lets wait a few days and see. Then, I asked him, is terminix going to do anything to fix the issue since I can clearly see there are damages in the door frame and potentially the wall. He again said, lets wait a few days and see. It's clear to me at that point the inspector didn't care and did not want to do anything to help. As he started to leave, I asked him if he's going to check the stations, he said it' s not necessary, there's likely no activities in the baits since the termites are inside the house. After I insist that he opens the stations, he opened 6 out of the 12 stations and said see, no activities. I asked him, it's been 1 years, if there is no activities in the stations, then obviously the issue is inside the house, likely under the basement. Is there any actions going to be taken to help resolve the issue? He answered, it takes time, lets wait few more days and see. At that point, I just knew, it was a waste of my time and money. The company does not stand behind their promises. I contacted the customer service at terminix website and told them of my dissatisfaction and all she told me was there is nothing she can do , and told me to tell my inspector of my concerns, which I already did and nothing was going to be done. The Manager then later called and asked what was the issue, we told him the same about our concerns and all he said was "we will check the station in April" and that was the end of the conversation. I obviously will not renew my contract with Terminix and will NEVER recommend anyone to using this company! read more

One of the worst companies to do business with they miss lead you they have you pay a monthly pay and then say that you can call them as many times as needed when you call them they don't call you back. I had an ant problem and reached out to them several times for service which I never got so I basically paid for something I never got. Proceed with caution when doing business with this particular company. read more

When you see these guys coming run! Because the bugs will not. These guys are theives. Their adverstisement says if your dissatisfied 100 percent guaranteed is lies. I Ms. Andrews have been calling for my refund for the longest. They dont explain the process properly and nasty when you ask for your money back. They sent fat lazy bastard to my home to make a mess and then the roaches come full speed ahead. Ultimate protection Guarantee all lies.....Terminix give me my money back! The roaches are laughing at the water you sprayed. Corporate Offices need to leave their vacations to come back and give me my money they are spending. The one star is for coming out. read more
