I agree with you regarding Terminix. Over the years, I've had the best
results with local independent pest control companies, both for price and
the quality of the work done. I think the worst thing is to get involved
with a year long contract for monthly treatments of any kind. Once you sign
the contract, there is no incentive for them to do a good job. When pressed
to sign a contract, I told the local man that if his work was good he
needn't worry about my staying with him for several years. And if his work
was bad, then the contract wasn't worth the paper it was written on. We have
an understanding and no contract.
