Verification notes
Pest and termite control. The terminix.com footer reads "© 2026 Rentokil North America, Inc.", and the privacy policy is hosted on the parent's site, rentokil-initial.com. Terminix does not publish its residential Service Contract online: the online Terms of Agreement page says the service representative provides a copy of the Service Contract to sign. The contract term, renewal terms, cancellation notice period, early termination charges, guarantee conditions and any 3-business-day cancellation notice in that contract could not be sourced. No Terminix page about scams or impersonation was found.
