## The honest read

Terminix holds a 4.9-star average from 227 Google ratings. The company's own site lists general pest control along with ant, bed bug, mice, mosquito and rodent control, and it says it offers free estimates and 24/7 emergency service.

One recent customer wrote that when Nate found termites just feet away from the house on a Friday afternoon, he contacted Dominic, and the two inspected the house and formulated a plan that same day. By 1:15 PM Saturday, that customer said, Nate had all the necessary fixes in, without unnecessary sales tactics.

A recent customer who scheduled an exclusion service said Nate worked to ensure all critter entrances to the house were sealed, and that Nate, Greg and Izzy removed attic insulation and installed new insulation while keeping their work area clean. That customer said there was a hiccup on Terminix's end with scheduling and equipment, and the office manager, Amy, stepped in so the job could be completed without interruption.

Yellow jackets are part of the work too. A recent customer wrote that Nate crawled under the crawl space to reach yellow jackets nesting in the joists. A recent customer with a yellow jacket invasion said Brad did exactly what he was supposed to do and that the nest was massive. A recent customer said Darius inspected every corner of the house and took videos.

A recent apartment customer said an earlier Terminix exterminator placed a sticky trap behind the stove and said he would call to confirm a return time, but the call never came. After asking for Kareem, that customer said he fit them into his schedule and sealed all the holes in the apartment.

A 2026 customer said Mike “Nate” Hamm did the exclusion for mice, eliminating entry and exit points in many spots on the outside of the home, and that the mouse problem was under control. A 2026 customer said they had used Terminix for termite prevention for more than 30 years and quarterly pest control for more than 10 years.

A recent customer said one of the men went through their ceiling, that getting it rectified has been a battle, and that they would not recommend the company for any attic work. A 2025 customer said an inspector did not show up for three of four scheduled home pest inspections, with no call or text, and came well after the service window the fourth time. A 2025 customer said a technician did not show during a two-hour window, and customer service could not reach the technician.

Connecticut lists its pesticide business registration, PMBR.00215, as active, held by Terminix.

**Strengths:**
- Fast termite response — a recent customer had fixes in by Saturday afternoon
- Exclusion sealing — a recent customer said critter entrances to the house were sealed
- Crawl-space wasp work — a recent customer said Nate reached yellow jackets in the joists
- A thorough inspection — a recent customer said Darius inspected every corner

**Concerns:**
- Attic work damage — a recent customer said a worker went through their ceiling
- A missed inspection — a 2025 customer said the inspector skipped three of four
- A no-show visit — a 2025 customer waited out a two-hour window
