About Terminix

No one likes unwanted guests in their home, especially those that carry disease and crawl around your home at night, threatening your investment. Terminix can help you sleep easy knowing your home is bug-free -- at a cost that won't break the bank. Does this Spark an idea?


What is Terminix?


Termite infestation is a leading cause of major home damage in the U.S., and one company that homeowners have come to trust with their investment is Terminix. A front-runner in the termite and pest control industry, Terminix provides a variety of pest control services at an affordable cost, all designed to give homeowners peace of mind. Headquartered in Memphis, TN, Terminix employs more than 12,000 people and services more than 3 million customers throughout 45 states and the District of Columbia.


Terminix Background Facts


Terminix was the first pest control company to patent a pesticide to kill and successfully control termites in 1932. Originally known as the Bruce-Terminix Co., Terminix was also the first termite control company to offer franchises. Terminix was so confident in it's product and service that in 1955, the company became the first to offer termite protection guarantees and contracts to its customers. In 1986, industry giant Service Master purchased Terminix from Cook Industries and has expanded to more than 450 service centers across the U.S.


Terminix Adds New Services


In 1958, Terminix continued to capitalize on its growing success by offering full-service pest control services, in addition to its termite services for both homes and commercial businesses.


Terminix Provides Low Cost Protection


Termite damage and protection are not usually covered through homeowner insurance policies, and once a home is infested, the removal and treatment of a termite colony can be costly, averaging at least $2,000 to $3,000. Terminix has fine-tuned their pest control products and techniques, and homeowners can fully protect their home from destructive termites for less than a dollar a day. The patented Terminix Termite Baiting Program is receiving accolades, not only for its effectiveness, but the fact that it is environmentally friendly -- a plus with the push for everyone to go green.


Other Pest Control Services


Whether it's ants, roaches, spiders, mice or other unwelcome invaders in your home, Terminix provides homeowners with a complete line of service for the treatment and removal of pests, and offers both interior and exterior services.
