Caralyn Farrellre: Terminix
☆☆☆☆1mo ago

Initially my service with Terminix was great - they were responsive, showed up, and did a thorough inspection of the home for pests. Unfortunately, after about 2 months of needing them to come out and spray for termites, they suddenly stopped caring - calls for service would go unanswered, or with the promise of sending a tech out on a given date, only for them to never show up. I ended up in a contract paying over $100/month for bait traps to (apparently) simply exist - that fee did not include

Joseph recently came for our quarterly check & went above and beyond our expectations! He offered to seal up the corners of our garage doors with metal to prevent mice from continuing to chew the plastic to get in & took his time making sure everything was as it should be. We always get a report written up by the technician so we know exactly what was addressed and what was done that day.

All the Meerkat people I interacted with were very professional. They responded to my email inquiry in record breaking time. Eli thoroughly explained the various options available.

I give this Company 5 stars - I had what I considered a serious mice problem and was very concerned what damage mice can cause in a very short time. I reached out to Family Pest Solutions and spoke to Marie Miller. Marie was very responsive to my concerns and scheduled her tech (Bill Lamboy) to come out the very next day. Bill showed up right on time!! This is huge one for me - one of my pet peeves. He did a site inspection and upon completion he went over exactly what was happening and how to

Effective pest control, prompt and friendly service. Mean Green has been serving our house this season, starting with a treatment for an infestation of sugar ants which was very effective, we haven't seen ants in the house for the whole rest of the summer! They also came to address ant hills that were covering our new patio and that issue was also resolved! Lastly they came to deal with a wasp nest in our eaves.

Everyone I have spoken to is very nice and seems like good people. I don't believe this place is intentionally trying to scam people, but I do believe they are poorly run and do give off red flags of this being a scam/shake down. Had a very nice man named Kevin come and inspect the home in June. He went through my whole house and showed me all of the signs of mice and insects. Where they might be getting in and how they treat them. We agreed to a price and set up a service contract right away.

We contacted this service after a rodent issue and had a good initial experience, but there have been a number of problems since. First of all, they have my name wrong name on the account, even though I've paid them with a check that had the proper spelling of my last name, and I've tried to get the senior discount that they supposedly offer, but have yet to receive it. I tried reaching out to them twice by email and didn't get a response. I did get a relatively quick response by text, but aga

Called to see if they could remove two yellow jacket nests from our property. The person who answered the phone, but did not identify themselves, immediately started asking about where I lived, etc. I explained that I wanted to know what would be used to eradicate the nests before I got into details of where my house was located. I was told that I wouldn't understand what it was that he used. I guess my being a scientist (or woman?) disqualified me from knowing what pyrethrin is, where it com
