Cancel contract — check early termination fee
Step-by-Step Guide
Review the service contract
Check the Terminix contract for early termination fees (ETF). These are often waived with a death certificate.
Call Terminix to cancel
Call 1-877-837-6464 to cancel. Provide a death certificate to waive any early termination fees. Get cancellation confirmation in writing.
Cancel any recurring payments
Remove saved payment methods and confirm no future charges will be processed.
Transfer service if property is occupied
If someone is still living in the home, they may want to continue pest control service under their own name.
