Attorney General Steve Marshall s office on Monday announced that current and former Terminix customers in Alabama, victimized as a result of the pest control company’s unconscionable price increases and failure to provide paid-for services, may now file claims for restitution.
From the news release:
In November, the Attorney General’s Office announced a historic $60 million settlement with Terminix International in response to the company’s alleged illegal business practices targeting Alabama consumers, and Terminix began cooperating with the State of Alabama to correct these wrongs.

MONTGOMERY The Alabama Attorney General’s Office and the Alabama Home Builders Licensure Board are warning residents of the potential for home repair contractor fraud, as tornado cleanup continues.
“While residents of Fultondale and Center Point are still struggling to recover from the destruction from this week’s EF-3 tornado, they should be aware that unscrupulous home repair workers may seek to victimize them financially,” said Attorney General Steve Marshall. “Shady contractors often seek out vulnerable victims in the wake of natural disasters, offering to make home repairs and clean up, charging exorbitant prices or inadequately performing work. Persons can avoid being victimized by asking for the contractor’s state license.”
