May's denied any responsibility for this damage, so the cost came entirely out of our pockets even after paying yearly for termite inspections and quarterly for pest control. Their first response was, "We are not structural engineers." Neither was our contractor, but he spotted the problems in about 10 minutes. Then May's dragged out a contract from 1971 (we bought the house in 1996) and claimed that was the only contract they needed to honor. Our signatures were not on it, of course, and there was no address on the contract at all. That "contract" did not specify anything but the increase in cost for the service over the years. We are currently trying to locate the contract from 1996, but after moving 3000 miles away, we are not sure we can find it. In our opinion, May's has not acted responsibly toward good customers who believed in them for 19 years. At the least, they could have offered to reimburse us for the lumber needed to repair the foundation.
Response from May Exterminating Co
"May Exterminating Company has inspected (member name removed)'s house since 1971. The contract transferred from the previous owner to (member name removed). In 1996, the only type of contract we had was a retreatment only contract. I have asked (member name removed) for a copy of his signed contract which he cannot find so I can only go by the unsigned contract from the previous owner that automatically transferred to (member name removed) upon purchasing the house. (Member name removed) has been notified since 2008 that he had old evidence of termites. Our records have been purged so 2008 is the farthest we go back for inspections so (member name removed) may have been notified of old evidence of termites before that date. Unfortunately, (member name removed) was under retreatment only contract and May Exterminating Company is not responsible for the damages. (Member name removed) has stated that he new about the termites but did not address the problem. Also, he has waited at least seven years (maybe more) before asking for monetary reimbursement. Finally and most importantly, I sent him the only copy of a contract on file and he claims that he has a signed contract, which he cannot find."

They do a decent job but their product doesn't work that well. The people that do it are good people. It is just that I haven't had great success with the solution they used. It seems like the pests come back so we've been having to do our own thing. The people that work for the company are great and very professional. It killed a few of the bugs but they were back within a week. The guy was very nice. I've heard good things about his product; it just didn't work well in our home.

May Exterminating was the company that the builder used just a year ago when house was built. So far no termites. Today they sent a technician, Mike, to provide the annual inspection for renewal. He was very professional, thorough, answered all my questions and explained in detail their process of treatment when home was built. It was an educational moment. If I have other pest issues I will contact May exterminating first. As far as giving a B on price, truly I do not know what others charge. $125 for the year does not seem out of line. I guess its perspective of it all. Really its another insurance premium to protect against termites.

Their price is competitive for this area. I don't ever have to do anything other than let them in the house to inspect once a quarter. They come out, do their thing, let me know they were here and that's it; I have not bugs in my house. I have been using them for over 6 years.

They have been pretty good. The only issue we had is the first guy that came out had to be sent away because his boots were very dirty. I will continue to use them.

I have been using them at the house for the past five years. They have done a great job so far. They just finished redoing my inspection. I started with them on an annual contract of $375. Also, I was paying them $95 for annual maintenance service; however, I'm not sure if it went up yet. They have always been prompt when they come. They always send me my information ahead of time, letting me know when they will come out for an inspection or letting me know when my inspection is due. They always come on time. When they say they are going to be there, they are there.

They did well. They have been providing service for us since 1985. We like the price and their customer service is good. They are reasonable and less expensive than another competitor. When we did have an issue they were prompt and came out in less than an hour to address the issue. They are very professional. They gave us a really good deal but we would like it to be less expensive.
