Already the leading provider of termite and pest control services in the
United States, in 2014, 7HUPLQL[ took dead aim at new varieties of vermin
and varmints, applying decades of pest control expertise to a whole new set
of solutions to maintain and protect homes and businesses. Broadening its
portfolio beyond traditional pest and termite services created new growth
opportunities. In 2014, new mosquito, exclusion and encapsulation services

“As the largest pest control provider in the U.S., we’re in a unique position
to bring innovative, industry-leading products to the marketplace,” said
Terminix President Bill Derwin. “We’re excited to bring more services to more
customers and provide a line of defense against dangerous, damaging and
annoying pests.”

Exclusion services not only ensure that damaging pests are evicted from

crevices and holes to block access routes for rodents, birds and other critters
– and avoid the destruction they can cause once they’ve entered a home.
Mosquito control, targeting perhaps the most unwanted party guest of
all time. Unlike other mosquito control products that simply repel, Terminix
offers a sugar-based bait solution that attracts – then kills – mosquitoes.
The solution, which uses a patented, environmentally friendly technology
exclusive to Terminix, kills more than 90 percent of mosquitoes within two to
three weeks following application in areas surrounding a customer’s home
or business.
Encapsulation, a solution that helps control the moisture in crawl spaces to
prevent future or additional structural problems and protects against pests

walls to create a tight seal that prevents outside moisture from seeping in –
and dollars from leaking out.
Insulation, which protects against 11 types of pests while improving
homeowners’ energy costs. Terminix insulation is made from all-natural
materials and recycled newsprint.
