Terminix is a prominent pest control company founded in 1927 in Memphis, Tennessee. Initially established to combat termite damage to hardwood floors, it pioneered termite control with the creation of the first termiticide in 1932. The company was the first to offer termite protection contracts that included annual inspections and damage guarantees, evolving into a franchise network and an international corporation.

Terminix provides a wide range of pest control services for residential and commercial customers. Their offerings include termite prevention and treatment, general pest control for ants, roaches, spiders, and rodents, as well as mosquito control, bed bug remediation, and wildlife management. The company emphasizes scientifically backed solutions delivered by trained professionals to safeguard homes and businesses from pest-related issues.

With its headquarters in Memphis, Terminix operates through a network of franchises and company-owned branches, including local franchises like Terminix Triad in North Carolina. The company was acquired by Rentokil Initial plc in 2022, enhancing its position as a leading global pest control provider while maintaining the Terminix brand.
