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.

    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.

      I had a lot of mice and it was a problem I never had in this house before, even though I've got woods right behind me. But it got to the point where it was something I couldn't control. I had to bring somebody in to deal with the problem. I used to be a commercial property manager and I had used Orkin in the past as well as a couple of other companies. I decided to use Orkin and they did a very thorough job of it. The mouse problem was eliminated and I was very pleased.

      I had the same tech for the first several instances that they were here, and there have been different techs since then. They've done work on the exterior of the house and they haven't done any work on the inside of the house recently. But they've all been very professional and they communicate well, especially the first fellow that I had who came out and really helped solve the mouse problem. I've also always gotten text messages to confirm appointments, which I appreciate. And the little bit of contact I had with any office staff was positive as well.

      Orkin Pest Control's tech came and explained to me everything, the process with the first time and the second time, and how long it would take to come back again to do it one more time. I'm pleased with the visit with him. Also, the experience we have with talking to Orkin and making the appointments have been good. The problem we have in my house was just black little ants. We haven't seen much anymore, just one here and there. I haven't been able to see much ants like I used to inside or outside. My daughter sees spiders ones here and there in her house, but not like she used to. It’s working out already with the product.

      We recommended Orkin with some of the neighbors who ask when they see the vehicle up there. Two neighbors down from me and across the street have problems with the black ants as well. I told them that the first time that the guy came over, we would see some activity. He came in the second time, and we haven't seen much activity anymore. I asked the guy to give me a couple of cards, so that's what I hand over to the neighbors.

      I get the same guy for the regular service. He was good. He explained everything to me. He did the treatment and said I should have an inspector out. So, I had an inspection done, and he told me that my attic needed to be re-insulated, that the insulation in there had feces in it, and that was toxic. So, he gave me a bid on clearing the whole ceiling out and re-insulating it. It was 18,000. It seems a little high. So I decided to clean it out myself, remove the insulation, and vacuum. It reduced the bid to 13,000. So, we saved a little money there. But 13,000 still seemed a little high. So, I continued working on it and reinsulated it myself.

      On the regular service, Orkin comes out and they'll go after the roaches and the spiders on the outside. They make sure everything is good inside and out. One time, they will go after more or less the roaches, and then another time will go against the outside stuff, like spiders and vermin. I had a rat problem and we've pretty much taken care of that. The service guys always come out and they are pretty friendly. They explain things to me, and we make a plan of attack.

      When I started out with Orkin, I had beds bugs, and they got rid of that for me. Now, if I got spiders, I'll tell them and then they'll spray accordingly in the areas that need it inside and out. There's a certain part of the spring where the spiderwebs are all around the house. Orkin will go through it, and they'll get rid of all of the spider webs while they're spraying, too. Their guy goes from second floor to the basement. The guy who comes out does a really good job, but they had one guy that came here and all he did was outside and he left. I asked what about the inside because that was supposed to be part of the deal. They said, this other guy was doing a fallacious job. Other than that, I had no problem at all with the reps at Orkin. They send me a note and a text, and I’ll set myself around it.

      My son has a fear of flying stuff like wasps and every once in a while, he'll get a wasp in his room. We just can't figure out where it's coming from. So, I just have the guy come, pull the curtains back and spray up top to see if that does it, and sometimes it's all right. I had one yellow jacket nest, and I showed them where it was. He sprayed it up there and I haven't had problems with them any more either.

      The people who moved next door had roaches and they came over here. My landlord picked Orkin to get rid of the problem and they've been great. I tell the technician the problem and he does his job. He takes care of the problem. I'd tell others to go with Orkin because they get the job done.

      Orkin is a very good service. They are very thorough and professional, and they make sure that my concerns are followed up on. I went with them about 15 years ago, and I returned to them because they did good service. We had silverfish and we ants. They went ahead and sprayed then they will come back in about 30 days to look. There's been no pest showing lately.

      You should make a stronger ant killing spray! These ants are constantly coming into my home. Most are dead but a few are alive but not for long. They’re coming out of the woodwork and although your representative has been here many times and sprayed around the woodwork the ants continue to invade my property. Now I’m finding a few larger ants along with the small ants. Maybe I should buy some Ortho bait traps or your representative should spray heavier and he should bring bait traps to place in the cabinets and windowsills. I’m really upset over continually having ants invade my home. I thought Orkin was supposed to be the best company to deal with bugs. I can deal with bugs but I can’t deal with ants!!

      We were with Aptive Environmental first for mainly mice and mosquito issues, but they were not helpful. I decided to go with Orkin because they have been around for a really long time. The person who came out was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable about everything. He broke everything down for us. He made sure the price was okay with us before he continued. He was very helpful. We've only been with Orkin for a very short amount of time, and everything has been wonderful, but we were told by the man who came to do our inspection that he was going to send us a proposal for some of the work that could be done. And unfortunately, we never received that. We've tried reaching out to him multiple times. I was going to reach out to the Orkin office today to see what was going on there. Maybe he's on vacation, or maybe something happened. It's just a little frustrating. We haven't heard anything about that. Other than that, I've been really satisfied with Orkin.

      I’m very happy with Orkin’s follow-up service. They came back for a second visit to address our yellow jacket problem, did a great job, and removed the nests. We’re very pleased with the results and the service we received!

      Original Review: Aug. 9, 2026

      The first visit was great! Follow-up visit not good. We still have some bees and pointed the two locations we are still seeing them. Tech told us there’s no way to completely eliminate them. He did not have a ladder and he needs to treat the upper floor by the bedroom window on outside of house. He sprayed but did not get exactly where the bees are and we need the powder to totally eliminate them but he did not use powder. We were I unhappy with the follow up visit.
