SUMMARY: The Hardin County Sheriff’s Office addressed concerns about door-to-door solicitors claiming to represent Terminix. There are two Terminix offices: a national one, which reportedly does not have representatives or conduct door-to-door business locally, and a local Bowling Green office that uses contracted employees who have been soliciting in the area. The sheriff’s office has contacted the district manager, emphasizing that solicitors must leave immediately if asked. Residents encountering aggressive or harassing solicitors should contact the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office at 270-765-5133 or 911 if unsafe. Concerns about Terminix can be reported to the local office at 270-391-4569. The district manager confirms salesmen are no longer operating in Hardin County.
