The price varies based on the type of pest, how severe the problem is and how often professionals must visit the home.

I've been with Terminix for a while. The mosquito service is awesome. I love the girl who comes. She puts a machine on her back and then she goes to where I instructed her to spray all my trees in the back and some of the yard. I have no complaints about her. I watch her work and she does an excellent job. When it comes to pest control, I'm not so happy with it because they come in and they leave in two minutes. It's impossible to spray a whole house in two minutes. I don't like that at all but for what I'm paying, I'm okay. I have flies and spiders. I tell them every time they come to spray my kitchen door completely because that's how they get in. Every time I leave the dogs out, I get flies in. The service is never satisfactory. I don't think they're giving me my money's worth when it comes to pest control. But if I call them, they'll come out again and spray again.

Overall, Terminix is a good company to work with. If you have any issues, all you have to do is call and they'll resolve them without a problem. The value for your money is good. I don't think I pay a lot of money for pest control. I did but when I called to complain about something, they lowered everything. Now, I'm paying $69 for mosquitoes and $89 for pest control. I can't beat that anywhere. The mosquito service is good for the money. I have five dogs and I don't want them bitten by mosquitoes. I've got other calls from other services wanting to do the same service. I'm like, "Well, you know, I've been with this company for 10 years. I don't feel like I'm gonna be switching. The price is good." Plus, when I had termites, they came and treated them. They put bait stations all around my property. It was expensive but they did work. I have no termites now.

    There was an issue about seven years ago that was not a good one but in recent times, the customer service with Terminix has been very good. For the most part, the experience has been good. One year, we had some kind of crazy ants and the techs came out immediately and took care of it. But we have little flies in our house that come with plants and I've had the techs come out a couple of times and spray but we still have them. I have three services with Terminix which are for termites, pests, and mosquitoes. And in the recent past, I got a bill for the mosquito service. So, I called customer service and I said I wanted it all to come out of my bank account. I don't wanna get a bill. The rep said it was not a problem and we did all these over the phone.

    The next month, I got a bill again. The letter said I was in arrears. It wasn't the sweetest letter I've gotten from Terminix. I called and got a different lady. I told her I took care of this last month and she checked on it. The first lady had done all the work but she didn't hit enter. So, I wasn't a happy camper about that because it's aggravating. I don't like my time wasted and it takes a hot minute to go through all the routing processes from the bank. The rep from Terminix got it fixed. But they wasted my time. I had to get it fixed twice. Terminix should have a bundling fee. Other places like AT&T say thank you to their customers by giving them a little financial break every now and then. We've been with Terminix for at least 15 years and they should consider that.

    Seuraj was the most upbeat, uplifting personality that I have met in quite some time. My entire home loved his presence, energy and spirit. What a beautiful human just being. Kelly has answered all my calls and questions. You can literally hear her happiness through her tone. She is the very first person that I have called for questions about services and pricing that didn't make me feel like I was bothering her to do a job that she is receiving compensation for. She sounds highly energy and upbeat. She is truly an excellent first impression for your crew and brand. She was very patient and knowledgeable. I truly enjoyed her assistance, just delightful. Suraj? Our pest control person is more than welcomed anytime for serious. We actually would prefer his energy in our home because he too has a very happy and upbeat energy/attitude.

    Last but, not least Brandon the outside Technician was very attentive and very professional during service. He answered all of my questions and concerns. I was very impressed with his approach regarding a suggestion for Termite services to be added to our home's care. His approach was one of forthright, highly professional and well conducted in manner. I am truly happy to have made the change to Terminx Pest Control. The only thing that could have made this experience better, is if it was free! I would have anyone of these personalities over for coffee. Exemplary Customer Service was truly given. We truly feel positive about our experience. Thank you. It's truly difficult to open my front door anymore or continue having a Q&A over the phone anymore. Your Terminix Team is spot on, A+ and a 11 out of a 10! Excellent Management hired this team.

    We get a report when Terminix comes on a quarterly basis, then we get the termite inspection once a year. We normally would get a report with a photo of a gentleman who would come out and that would usually be Gene. But the gentleman who recently came out was different. I didn't have any problems with him other than the fact he didn't show up until it was after 4:00 in the afternoon. We were getting ready to go out to dinner, then he said he was 20 minutes away and asked if he could still come. I hesitated but I didn't want to inconvenience him because we already had to change the date of the appointment. So, I told him to come on over and he did. He was polite and seemed to do his thing.

    For this recent service, I had a scheduling issue but it was not the technician's fault. I had to reschedule and when I was all set up, the tech didn't arrive. I called Terminix and they said I was not on for that day and that I was scheduled for another day. But I told them that I couldn't do that day and asked why they changed it. I knew who I spoke to and I gave the information. So then, I rescheduled the appointment. Whoever has been doing their scheduling the last several months is not doing a good job. I never had this problem last year. I understand there's some scheduling people that aren't local and I don't know where they're from. But they don't communicate very well with the customer.

    Other than that, Terminix is always good when they come out and I have no complaints about their service. They're efficient, too. A lot of people use another company down here and everybody tells us to use them. But Terminix has been taking care of this house since before we bought it and we don't have any reason to change.

    Over this last year, I've had the same guy with Terminix, which has been great. But what they ended up doing was they kept transferring the techs to different areas and that was how I ended up with someone new. But this guy that came was very nice and thorough. He talked to me and answered all my questions. So I was okay with him. I felt comfortable with him. All was well.

    I have had some pests and it's been disturbing where I keep seeing them. I call Terminix and then they come back and it straightens up a little bit. But for the most part, it's been one or two pests here and there. When Terminix comes, I let them know when they come in, and they service the inside as well as the outside. This most recent time, I saw a bug in my house after they left and that was the only one I have seen. Their spraying probably stirred the pests up a little. Most of the time when I see the pests, they're already dead. I've had trouble in the past with mice and they helped me out with that in my basement and garage, which really was not fun at all. But they got that straightened out for me.

    I've been happy with Terminix. The only qualm is getting different people. I like to stay with the same person. But I know that isn't always doable. I just spoke to someone because my price had went way up. She said it won't be reflected on this bill. So I'll be paying more on this next bill coming. But the one after that, she was able to take a little bit off of what they now raised the price to. They just raised it a few months back, and now they were trying to raise it on me again. So I was a little unhappy about that. But overall, Terminix is a good company.

    Terminix is a good service. We had infestations of carpenter ants, and those were all cleared up, but we live in a rural area and there's a lot of possible infestations that occur. Terminix comes on a quarterly basis and it's the same person, which is fine. I like to deal with one person. On the recent visit, the gentleman came to the door, smiled and told me what he has been doing.

    I was out of town and they inspected the property. The tech followed up on previous inspections. They checked the outside. Another time, they will also wander inside the house to be sure there's no indication of termite activity in and around the windows. If you have the opportunity to hire them, hire them.

    Inspector thought we had a termite issue and technician thought otherwise. Technician successfully took care of the black ants which I am very happy about. We have a termite warranty and would like house to be retreated as it has been many years since initial treatment but have had no follow up on that issue.

    The director of the Terminix office in Sterling VA is a highly regarded & very competent individual. He knows all his people and checks to make sure his clients are completely satisfied with the work. He has managers for different aspects of the business and I've met all of them and they are excellent and stand out from employees that I've worked with in other companies. They are competent, responsible, reachable by phone, and will come to your house as requested to coordinate with you.

    I was very pleased with the good service, competent workmanship and the responsiveness and intelligence of the managers. The next group are the people that have special training with the material in the attics or with the gutters or with the termite canisters. All of these employees are very well trained and competent and I found nothing to be upset about. I'm grateful for everything they did. In fact, I would like to point out, Mr. Chidi ** who is the expert working in the attic. He's a very competent man. I would like to point out Mr. Duan ** and Mr. Roger ** who are the two managers who work for Mr. William **, the head of the company, and help him run this outstanding American company.

    Communication-wise, they always call me before they come and call me after they leave. The tech leaves a voicemail. Or if I pick up, it's very professional and to the point. He'll tell me what time he's gonna be there, what he's done, and when he's gonna leave. Since their service, there's been no pest activity.
