What is Orkin Pest Control?

Orkin, founded in 1901, has over 120 years of experience with pest control. It has more than 400 locations across the world, including branches in most U.S. states. The company provides pest control for homes and businesses and guarantees customer satisfaction. Orkin technicians go through 160 hours of training, including coursework from Purdue University and hands-on simulations at Orkin’s 30,000-square-foot facility in Atlanta, Georgia.

Orkin uses an integrated pest management approach (called A.I.M.) with the goal of causing the least possible harm to people, property and the environment. Every Orkin visit includes assessment of the situation, the implementation of specific, science-driven solutions and the monitoring of pest activity to ensure the control technique is working.

How does Orkin work?

To find out if Orkin can help with your pest problem and to get an estimate, you can call Orkin or fill out a form online to be contacted by a company specialist. Orkin may give you a price over the phone or visit your home for an inspection.

Orkin uses a three-step pest control process, which it refers to as A.I.M.: assessment, implementation and monitoring. An Orkin technician starts by inspecting your property. They then work with you to come up with a protection program, choosing tools, technology and products that have the lowest environmental impact. After treatment, Orkin monitors results and continues to check for pest activity.

Orkin services come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you choose a treatment plan and pests come back between treatment dates, Orkin returns at no extra charge. And if Orkin can’t solve your pest problem, it refunds your last payment. Orkin also promises to respond to customers within two hours and have someone at your property within 24 hours.

Orkin price

Orkin determines pest control pricing based on a customer’s home, type of pests and other factors. The best way to get a quote for your specific situation is to contact your local Orkin branch. Getting a quote is free and comes with no obligations.

For example, we requested a quote for an annual pest control plan for a three-bedroom home in Tulsa, Oklahoma, that needed roach control. We received an estimate of two $195 payments over two months, followed by 10 more monthly payments of $48. That’s an annual total of $870.

    I tried to cancel today's appointment with Orkin just because I had some family stuff I had to take care of, and I completely forgot about it being today. It didn't go as planned on canceling, and the service guy still came out and sprayed outside at least. So, I'm fine with that. That's been decent. They're very respectful to having animals and young children about and what they spray. It’s been a pretty good experience.

    We had them come out last year for a quote. Then we had two trees fall in our house, so we ended up not doing it then. They were wonderful then, very helpful, and very mindful in telling us exactly what we need and what we don't need. Then this year, we're back to doing it. So, as of right now, it's just been a couple months that we've been with them. We've had issues with spiders mainly and mice. We're still having the spider problems outside. I have found that going and buying a $10 bottle at Walmart works better than Orkin. I'm gonna give it more of a benefit of doubt because I know some treatments take longer than one spray, which I'm fine with that.

    I haven't seen any ants since Orkin has been out here. That was another big problem. I haven't seen any mice, so it's working. The spiders are just a little more stubborn. It's also kind of my fault. I let an orb-weaver stay in my doorway, and the next thing I know, there were 20 of them on my front porch. I'd rate Orkin a 5 all the way. We have started recommending them. We tried other companies prior when we first moved in here, and it was a very dissatisfying process, even getting past startup.

      Orkin has been the easiest, cheapest, and most effective company that I've called. They have been very helpful and family-oriented. It has been life-changing. I thought I had to call and schedule your appointments automatically. But if you don't, they schedule it and send a reminder three days before just in case you need to reschedule it. I was confused about that, and they helped me with that. They started coming out every two weeks, but we're down to once a month because we had an older home, and it was infested. They had to do a bunch of gas treatments.

      Orkin has done a few services to help me out with no charge. And the services weren’t cheap. So, they're good. Also, their tech was fast and friendly. He made sure the job was done before he left, and made sure I was aware of all the instructions, from what he used, the chemicals and everything. He made sure the fish were safe, was covered. He was hands-on and caring. He is super friendly, and very attentive at his job. He saw a bug crawling that he couldn't identify, so he made it a point to take a picture, do some research, and get back to me on it.

      The pest control companies that we have in our area didn't really service the needs that we had. I had used Orkin in the past, so it was an easy thing to just go with them again. I like to schedule every service, and it's always been good. They usually get me in in a timely manner. I didn't really have interaction this year with the technician, but last year, my interaction was very positive. The gal was really sweet. She said, “I wouldn't get near the nest. These are really, really mean suckers.” I said, “Okay, I won’t,” but I knew that because that was why we had them come out. My little corgi had gotten stung in his ear, and I though we got to get rid of it. The gal was very helpful, and she did a walk around the house. She found another part where they were drilling into the house. She found another area, and she eradicated both.

      On the most recent service, I wasn't home. I had put in the notes before the call that we weren't going to be home and we noted exactly where the problem was. They were really great about it. We were in the process of moving, and they were so great. They took care of it. I really appreciated that because I know they typically like you to be home. I told them if there were any problems, they could ring the doorbell cam, and it'd pop up on my phone.

      We have a really old home. I don't think we will ever be rid of wasps or the hornets. They will always find a way back in, but we’ll always call Orkin because they are prompt, they address our issues, and they get rid of whatever nest we have. It is worth whatever they charge me to get rid of it. We do not wanna be stung. If somebody asks, I'd tell them to call Orkin right away. They need to schedule you around their existing schedule, but they'll get you in as soon as they can. Their communication is always great.

      I love the team effort. The inspector was great. The inspection report was detailed. I just went with the rodent/exclusion & the flea and tick treatment part of the package for now. The rest will have to wait. The technician(s) were all great too. The exclusion is preventing new rodents from coming in, and now it just getting rid of the ones that are trapped inside eliminated. We are still in the initial stages of getting rid of the rodents. But it is definitely going in the right direction. I have a 2nd flea and tick treatment scheduled and they will be checking traps and re-baiting them on the next visit.

      The technician who came to treat my problem with ants in the kitchen was terrific. He was experienced and gave me peace of mind that he could take care of the problem. He was very thorough using a gel and spray in the problem areas and left traps in the kitchen and basement. I have not a problem since. However, 2 days later 2 guys from Orkin showed up even though I wasn’t expecting them and claimed they were there to do a home inspection as part of my service. They found nothing in the house and went outside to check for problems. They returned and one guy was holding a clump of dirt that he dug up close to the foundation that he said contained termites. He scared me with a scenario that termites could be eating through the foundation and came up with a treatment plan for $4,000.

      I was shocked but I initially agreed to it. I then spoke to other neighbors and learned that termites are native to this area and often found in the dirt but that doesn’t mean they’re tunneling into the house. I canceled the treatment and the guy continued to use scare tactics to get me to change my mind. I told him I wasn’t comfortable going forward with the treatment and would get another inspection and estimate from another company if there seemed to be a problem. I didn’t appreciate being pressured and that tainted my experience a bit. I did sign up for quarterly treatments with the technician who treated my house and I am happy to continue doing business with Orkin because of his experience and professionalism.

      The agents at the call center will use technicalities against you. I asked if they did corpse removal and they said they don't solely send someone out for just that. So we signed up with them and when the technician got here he informed us they don't do it the way we thought. I called back to ask about this discrepancy and the agents were rude as heck. No sympathy and constantly repeating that since the agent didn't explicitly say that they DID do the removal that I am in the wrong. Condescending the whole time. Might as well pay someone else 200 to yell at me like I'm an idiot.

      I wasn't very happy with the man who took my information over the phone. I think he put his phone number down on my form.

I called customer service and someone corrected that phone number, but then they said they could not resend the form to my email. They said the servicemen would bring me a printed form to sign. However, they did not tell this serviceman, so he did not have it. He did finally get it and send it to me in an email. The serviceman was very polite and put a lot of glue traps around in my house. He said he couldn't go in the attic without another guy here. That was very disappointing since I'm hearing mice in the walls and I think they're coming from the attic. I haven't seen any mice caught in the glue traps in the house.

We were told to call if we saw more live ones and when we did they said it had to be 14 days before they could return but they did return yesterday and still today we are seeing live ones.

      Our service guy is great. Although, do not ever schedule a full remediation with Orkin. Not only is there insulation all the the way down to the basement, but they also just didn't full remediate anything. Should have been a full attic clean out... yet there is still old insulation somehow, and there was scat. I would not be surprised if there was still scat up there. We have tried to get someone here to finish the job, ensure the job was done accurately, and go from there. There has certainly been an Orkin service worker come "approve" followed by my handyman confirming the job was never fully done. Scat was then removed, but insulation is still as it was.
