MEMPHIS Terminix’s new campaign, “The Best at Nixing Pests,” created in partnership with The Martin Agency, features five spots that will air on TV and social media in select markets, starring “Flight of the Conchords” comedian Rhys Darby.
The Martin Agency aimed to create a campaign that helps make Terminix synonymous with the word “nix.” The creative team was inspired by the insight that nearly three out of four residential consumers will not call an exterminator until they’ve tried to treat a pest issue themselves, rarely getting rid of the problem and often leading to DIY fails.
In the campaign, Darby shows up in the middle of a series of DIY pest control mishaps, reminding consumers, “The only way to nix it is to Terminix it.”

PARSIPPANY, N.J. Churches are getting ready to open their doors to more and more parishioners as the capacity restrictions start to loosen. Pests and pathogens could put a damper on that and to all the people that have missed their church community. In order to help prepare these churches to have in-person services, Western Pest Services stepped in to help.
The First Presbyterian Church of Rutherford, N.J., has been a place of worship for over 150 years. Their community outreach programs – before and during the pandemic – reach far beyond their local community. After the destruction brought on by Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, the First Presbyterian Church of Rutherford adopted a Presbyterian Church there to assist in the rebuilding and recovery of their building. They have been providing online services but based on the loosening restrictions, they are ready to open their doors again.
