The non wood eatin Termirtes cost me over 18k three years ago, dang near ate up my master suite in less than 2 years....... I found out when I tried to hang a picture and the hammer went thru the wall and hit the brick facade on the outside.... Nothing but the paint and insulation left.

We noticed the baseboard in the middle of the house has these areas where you could put your thumb through. Called Orkin back and they retreated the house and replaced the baseboard. The little suckers has come up through a crack in the foundation in the middle of the house. They told me they can come up through a settlement crack like only 1/32 of an inch.

I found out later that Terminix had a life time guarantee where Orkin was only like 7 years. I'd check that before I got the house treated.


Yelp Terminix has a lifetime guarantee. I worked for them for 10 years. It will take me a lifetime to get over it too... No, they have a good guarantee. If you get a price from them DONT buy right then let them keep calling you back they will drop the price... :D
