Dear Key Termite (Tyler and team): Now that everything has been completed and we’ve received the final clearance, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all you’ve done. What could have been a very stressful experience turned into a positive one because of the way you handled it. Throughout the process, you kept us informed, answered our questions, and followed through on every detail. We especially appreciated your persistence in making sure each issue was properly repaired and bringing in the final inspector so we could have complete confidence that everything had been done correctly. It’s not often that homeowners walk away from a major repair feeling this reassured, but that’s exactly how we feel. We now have peace of mind knowing our home is solid, and much of that is thanks to your professionalism, integrity, and commitment to doing the job right. Thank you again for your hard work and excellent customer service. We truly appreciate it and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you and Key Termite to others. With sincere thanks, Janice and Ted

I am a termite, and they couldn't get rid of me. I have a whole family down there that was just trying to survive, man. I mean, my whole family did and so did most of my cousins. We're still living there in peace now. But what the hell, man? They tried to kill us.

If you value timing, respect, accountability, and competence, run! I’m completely appalled by my experience with Key Termite. I had multiple calls with them before the tent went on, and each time they assured me the tent would come off “first thing in the morning” on Saturday. They knew I had a narrow window with other services, including gas, internet, and other move in appointments, scheduled immediately afterward, and that timing was critical. Yet Saturday came and went, and no one arrived anywhere close to first thing in the morning. After hearing those exact words multiple times, they did not show up until nearly 11am. In what world is 11am. “first thing in the morning”?! They lack any professional process. They sent subcontractors who could not communicate safety information or provide clear answers, leaving us completely in the dark. The safety notice was hidden rather than clearly posted, adding even more confusion. When I confronted the owner about the situation, he was defensive, and the office’s follow-up was hallow. To make matters worse, they appear to have little or no meaningful support available on Saturdays, despite scheduling work that directly impacts whether customers can access their homes. If you are going to make promises about weekend service, you should be available when those promises are not kept. Their communication was a disaster from start to finish.

We’ve been with Key Pest Control for years at our house as well as our business. My mom even uses them now. Our technician, Mike, is awesome! I can call or text him with questions and concerns regarding either account. He is quick to respond and promptly addresses any pest issues we’ve had pop up between services. We’ve had him assist with ants, wasps, mice (one very stubborn mouse), and squirrels. Mike is knowledgeable and friendly making it easy to work with him. Definitely recommend!

Provider response

Hello C R, Your trust over the years means everything! We’re thrilled our team’s responsiveness and expertise continue to earn your confidence. Thanks for recommending Key Termite & Pest Control Inc!

My usual service person was fantastic. However the substitute person just sprayed pesticide in my animal water dishes, all over the hose (including attachment spigot) with which I water my fruit trees so I must now spend hundreds of dollar to replace these and go out shopping when I don’t have time. Something like that destroys all the good.

Provider response

I am truly sorry that you feel we would do something like that. The technician that serviced your home is very conscience of pet items on the exterior and moved them away from the treatment area then put them back after the treatment. If you would like I can come out with the technician and go over the treatment that was performed.

Jacob has been caring for my yard this past year and has been a wonderful addition to my list of "home caretakers." He is always prompt, polite, and extremely helpful when explaining what he is doing, why, what is currently disturbing my lawn and plants, and how we can carefully and safely get rid of these intruders. He treats my lawn as if it were his own. Key Termite is lucky to have him, and so am I.

Provider response

Hi Farida! Jacob's dedication to your lawn care means everything to us. We're so pleased he's providing the attentive service and helpful explanations you deserve. Your 5-star feedback makes our whole team proud!

Key Termite & Pest Control was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. A very respectful gentleman came out to look at the house, and recommended a tenting. Key provided a very detailed instruction packet, along with easy email communication along the way. Key does the complete job, from initial inspection to the final tenting, and this matters, as I have learned from previous experience! You will not be disappointed with Key.

Provider response

Hi Charlie! Made our day seeing this detailed feedback about your tenting experience. We pride ourselves on handling the entire pest control process — exactly as you noticed! Thanks for choosing Key Termite & Pest Control.
