I love Orkin. I called and inquired about them on my own, and I've used them a couple of times. I have them on a quarterly rotation. I get the necessary emails when they're coming, what time they'll be there, when they’ve left, and how much I'm being charged, and it's also automatically taken out of my account when they do the treatment. I'm very pleased so far. I've just seen water bugs here or there. I've had a gnat problem in the past, and the technician treated the sink drains. That's definitely gotten better in the past few months, almost to where I see none. Every now and then, I'll see one, but I know that's just hard to to treat.
I've had the same technician, Israel, the two different times I've used Orkin, and he is wonderful. He's very attentive and treats what I need treated and explains things to me if there's something new that he's using. If I or my son couldn't be there, he's definitely able to accommodate me when he could come back. If he was gonna be out of town, he would rearrange the schedule so he could get the treatment in either before or after. Israel is also friendly as well as very respectful and well-mannered.

Orkin comes and sprays around the house and spray inside when I need them to and they do a good job. They come out every other month. They raised the price without telling me. That was a little surprise, but it's okay. I never had a pest problem. So, I called them in originally because somebody sent my niece a present, and when we unwrapped it, there were a couple of roaches in the box. And I was devastated because I don't do well with roaches and bugs. So, I called them out and they have been servicing me ever since because I don't want a problem. Orkin does a great job. They do my porch as well. And I get to sit down on my porch and not feel traumatized because spiders might come down on the awning. So, I love it. And I will keep them because I feel safe.

Since getting Orkin, we have not had a problem with bugs, mice, or other pests despite others in the neighborhood having difficulty with them. I wouldn’t consider any other service. Additionally, the employees are polite and do their job well.

I have had the same Orkin man for 15 years. He is so pleasant and nice. He works around my schedule and does a good job for me. And I've been very satisfied. Owen has won a lot of trips with Orkin, which is wonderful that Orkin still does that. I hope they continue to do that after COVID. And he really is deserving of that. Owen is a good representative. I had normal bugs. It's an old house built in 1965 and I'm sure there are cracks and crannies that they can crawl in and then mosquitoes. You should use Orkin.

He usually comes out every other month, but we have a problem with scorpions around here in the hill country. I asked that Orkin bump it up. So, Ed comes out now every month. He's always here when we need him. Even if we need a re-treat. I have his phone. I just text him. He usually texts me before he comes. And he's always here.

Been dealing with an ant issue for over 4 years. Orkin has yet to control the condition. Always a new person shows up. No one is taking control of resolving the situation.

Routinely able to rely on the responsiveness, quality of coverage and results for our residential needs.

I forgot to mention to the guy spraying that I felt I needed new boxes (those black boxes) they put down, but I forgot. The black boxes have been there a long time and might need to be switched out.

Orkin Pest Control came in and did their bi-monthly insect check inspection, and sprayed around the outside of the house as I requested. Did what I asked them to do. I had the least of all things, a ladybug infestation. They helped me with some ground wasp that I had at one point. And they did some fire ants. Everything’s going well. I just got a new person this time. My previous pest control person was very personable and followed directions. What I really appreciated about them is they know the boundaries for the house. Sometimes, “Hey, don’t go in that room over there, if you don’t mind,” and they don’t go down there.

I gave Orkin a try because I get blind ants and carpenter ants in my house sometimes. It was horrendous. A tech named Tyrone looked at the situation and he was so nice. When I have questions, he listens to what I have to say then he tells me what it is or he'll spray. For the ants, he started putting stuff and went, “They're going to take this to the queen and then where they come in, I'm going to seal it up afterwards." He wanted to make sure they do that so it could destroy the nest. That seemed to have worked. He came and he plugged it up. I also have problems with hornets sometimes coming into my house. I've had Orkin now for a little over a year and I have not seen or heard of anything, which is great. So far, so good. Get Orkin. They may be a little pricey, but they're worth it.
Reviewed April 20, 2022
Orkin sets up service schedules then I get an email saying they would be coming next week at such and such a time. I then get an email saying they're on their way. A person shows up and if I'm home, they'll ask me if there are any other issues. If I'm not home, they just go ahead and spray. Recently, they sprayed for mosquitoes around the house. The experience with their techs has been very positive and they're very pleasant to deal with.
I use Orkin not just for mosquitoes, but also for any kind of bugs. I used them when I had an infestation outside of yellowjackets and they had built this massive nest in one of the bushes. A guy got the suit out and he took care of it. That was the end of it. I also used Orkin when I had a mice infestation. The guy that came in set traps and did everything.
In my previous house, I used Terminix because there were termite issues. When I moved here, I had a problem with some other things. I called up Terminix and they told me, "No. We don't do that." Orkin did. Since I've been in this house now since 2014, I have exclusively used Orkin for spraying for bugs. They do that four times a year. They also spray the bushes for that type of thing. I'm very pleased with our service.

Most of the time, I enjoy the program, the notification process, and all of that. Lately, I've been having trouble getting a service window. They told me that they would come on a specific day, but I don't get my service window. So, I have to call and say, "When are you coming?" Because I can't sit around and wait all day. I need to know. And they would give me a two or a three-hour window and it works just fine. But we schedule in advance, I always know when they're coming, I get my text messages and an email. So, it's great. They're always on time. Quick and easy. They do their service and they get it out of the way.
The techs have always been very helpful. I'm partially disabled, so the tech would even get up and knock down little wasp nests as they start so that I don't have to get up on a ladder, in addition to spraying and checking everything. Also, they have always explained to me what they were using, whether it would be harmful to my pets. They have always been very clear and helpful in the years that I've had them.
I've only had one issue where I had some mice come in my garage, and into my basement. And they dropped those little sticky papers and that took care of the issue. Unfortunately, I had to pick up the critters stuck to the papers, but it was less traumatic than I thought it would be. And that took care of the problem and he explained to me where he believed they were coming in. So, I took care of that issue. He was very clear on what he thought I could do to prevent it from reoccurring and I've not had an issue since. They were mice. They were just coming in because it was cold.

We had some tiny ants in the kitchen and other places in the house. Orkin was able to resolve the problem by coming down bi-monthly. We don't have any problem with the pests while they keep up the treatment. Our tech is fine. He's not the first one, but he was a good replacement. I like knowing ahead of time when he's going to be here. Before, Orkin was not giving me enough notice of when they were coming by because sometimes I would be out of state and the tech couldn't get in the house. But they resolved that issue. The technician himself now makes sure I knew ahead of time when he was coming by.
Reviewed April 17, 2022
When I first started, the ants were gone for a long time. But now, I've had to call almost every month about seeing more ants. There were a couple of months in the really colder months. But then, I'm still seeing ants. That was one of the main reasons that I contracted with Orkin in the first place because they were taking over my kitchen. But anybody who's ever come has always been very nice. They listened and did their job well.

Every time they come over, they’ve been very, very thorough, which I really appreciate. Normally, they take care of the yard and everything outside the yard. They took excellent care of the outside of the house. But about three weeks ago, we found some ants in one of our cupboards. The ants came in with one of the boxes of cereal that we had. So I had Orkin come out and the tech took a look at what we had and what I saw. He said that there was no trail of ants. But he still sprayed around that little area there to be sure and there have been no ants since. Now, we check our cereal boxes when we bring them back from the store.

I am incredibly impressed with them, or I wouldn't have kept them on for three years. They're amazing. I am into eight months after losing my husband of 41 years. So when they come to the house, they're also very empathetic and kind.

They make their regular visits and everything's under control. The biggest problem that I had was sugar ants. They come in and invade the kitchen. But we didn't see any ant inside the house last year. Then, getting into this late summer, I hate spiders with a passion, so Orkin keeps those away too. The tech who comes out is very professional. He always stops to chat for a minute to make sure there are no problems.

They quoted 10,000 for termite work and charged over $12,000. Did not answer repeated requests for help. Service itself was mixed - the sales rep not corresponding with the technician about what was agreed. I feel like I’ve been fleeced.

Hope you can inform viewers about this before they hire Orkin. I hired Orkin Pest Control to tent my home for termites at a charge of 2,890 dollars. At first I thought that this was a pretty high price. The Orkin Salesman told me that none of their competition could do what they do. As soon as he left I called a company named Absolute Pest control and left my number for a call back quote. While waiting for a call back from Absolute, my wife told me not to go with a generic or no name company. I decided to tell the Absolute people never - mind, I would go with Orkin. After I signed the contract with Orkin, they (Orkin) sub-contracted the job to Absolute, the same company that I turned down for the job.
The point I'm trying to make is Orkin does not tell customers that they themselves do no do the fumigation, instead they jack up the price and then hire generic companies to do the job. I'm not looking to be on the news but I felt ripped off after I found out that the company I turned down got the job without my knowledge.. I can provide all relevant information so you can inform your viewers about this.

Orkin explained things that needed to be done and how much it would cost. They were courteous and professional about it. Also, the techs were very professional and friendly.

Orkin is dependable. I have a monthly service with them and they worked great. We moved to the country, and there were spiders. It was a seamless move, in terms of my service with them. The techs have been very friendly and informative. As far as pests go, if it's out of the range of what they do, let's say wildlife, I didn't find that they were very helpful in figuring out how to handle that.

I no longer have that and it really went away in six months, but I still have Orkin. But I see ants and fleas in my yard so I treat on top of their treatment. Every time they come, I have to pinpoint exactly where I'm seeing activity and then have them focus on that.

We have Orkin come out quarterly. They send a text and an email saying when my next appointment is a week before. Then, they send out another reminder the day before. Also, Greg does a wonderful job. I get a text when he's on his way and he does what he needs to do. He asks if there's anything going on, anything that needs to be addressed, or any questions I might have. We talk and visit for a bit about what's going on if there is anything and if there's nothing, he does the normal stuff. He’s very thorough.

Orkin has been among the companies that have treated us the best. They've got a gal named Jennifer in the Kokomo office. If they do anything to that woman, I'll drop Orkin like a hot fire. She is everything anybody could ask in the way of a workman, in the way of a representative for a company. She's getting her office work done like nobody's business, and there's nobody who can replace her. When Orkin loses her, I don't think they'll find a replacement half her value. The man that comes here every first week of an odd-numbered month does an excellent job. He's thorough and still very friendly. He comes in talking like he’s your neighbor or maybe a brother in Christ at church for that matter. He's so personal. I'm not sure how many men like him they've got at Orkin, but I would dare say they don't have anybody better.

I signed up with Orkin to get rid of carpenter ants and now the ants are gone. Their technician comes every three month. I like him. We called him one time because we had some debris in the house, and we wondered if it was ants or mice or what. He came, looked it over, and took some samples. He said he thought it was just the house settling, and that's indeed what it turned out to be. He goes above and beyond. He seems to know what he's doing.
Reviewed March 23, 2022
I like that we have had the same technician from the first visit for every visit. We love him. He is polite and always friendly. At first, it was awkward but once I got used to him coming out, it was always a very nice interaction. It's gotten to the point where if I can't be home, I'll call them and let them know I left the door unlocked. He has my permission to come in and spray, and do what he's got to do. He always locks the door on his way out like I asked. He always makes my toddler laugh when he's here and he always chit-chats with my older kids if they're home and he happens to come by.
The issues on the billing have been my thought for the most part. Orkin has easy pay where you can pay 48 and some change each month instead of the 96 on the date of your service. They make that very easy and I never had any issues. The only issue I have on my part is when I have to cancel the card and I always forget to call back and put it on file. On their end, it's great, though. They're always good and polite.

I'm a very pleased customer. I started Orkin especially for boxelder bug issues but they've also helped with other issues I've had with flies and those that look like they’re bugs, but they're not. They have come and done inside and out several times and the boxelder population has decreased considerably inside my house. I don't mind them on the outside. It's just when they're crawling around all over the inside. The difference is unbelievable, just three weeks later. My normal starting month would have been April but when I called in March last month because I was having so much trouble with boxelder bugs, they came out right away, even though I wasn't scheduled for a date yet. So that was also very helpful.
All the techs have been awesome. The last gentleman who came out in March was probably the best I've ever had. He was so fun to talk to so I enjoyed his personality. He explained a lot of things that I didn't know about my home, the wood siding, what lives in it and how I can best deal with the pests that get inside. I shared some of that information with my neighbors and I said that I got this from Orkin. So, I'm trying to also be a PR person for Orkin's services because I appreciate it very much. If I thought of something I would ask the technician. If I have questions, they answer them right away. My whole home is more comfortable because the boxelders aren't crawling everywhere. We had two boxelder trees in the backyard, which we got rid of over nine years ago but I have a wood siding house. They still live in that wood siding and that's where Orkin is trying to take out that population that is still in my home.

The customer service has been outstanding. I know the girl that I chat with there. I call her direct and she makes things happen because I have to schedule their appointments when I’m down at the property, which is about two hours away from me. There's a new tech. The old one, Joe, who I knew for years, retired. The tech that they had last time was phenomenal. He was very thorough.

Orkin made signing-up with them a no-brainer. It was simple to do, not expensive and they get the job done. We are at a maintenance cycle with them and they come out about once every two months. But if I have a problem, I call and they come right out. Billing and scheduling are as easy as pie. They couldn't make it any easier. Dealing with the techs has always been professional. They’ve been very nice. The guy complimented us on the remodel we did in our basement.

I really like Orkin. The pests are gone. I live where there are lots of trees and everybody has a problem with ants. I don’t. I had a different technician each time, and I had a certain requirement because I have an area for a cat. So, I had to be home all the time to explain to not spray anything around this area. But I've had this one now for almost two years, and I love him. Even when I'm not home, he’ll call me when he gets here, tell me that he’s here, and ask me if I have anything that I need him to do. So, that's really going beyond. I love that part.

We're on a good payment plan with Orkin. I was not at home when they came for the latest service. They came to the door, they were cordial, they talked to my daughter, they told her what they were going to do, and they performed that service. So, everything was as normal as it typically is when they come out and I'm at home. I’d recommend Orkin to other people who have pest issues around their house. Everything that Orkin does is quality work and they stand behind their product and take care of anything that changes in between services.
Reviewed March 10, 2022
When Orkin came out, we were happy with their service and continued. We had a new technician come and I asked him to check under my house and all the little areas where critters could go and he was very thorough. He spent more time than previous technicians and did a very thorough job.

I’m on a quarterly and I don't know when Orkin is coming so all I do is ask for a heads up. They always give me one because I have dogs and they've been very good about that. But we've been working from home too, so it's all good. When they call, I tell them my concerns. I haven't had ants in my house since I've hired them so I have no complaints. We had termites but we didn't use Orkin and when I told the Orkin tech that, he said he could beef up in that area. It’s always been wonderful. We have these black outdoor black cockroaches that live in the dirt and under the rocks and maybe once in a while, I find one by the washing machine garage. I’d assume they're looking for water and I tell the tech that. He says he'll put more granules here and there.

Orkin initially came out for chicken bugs and fleas, and they are phenomenal. They come out, do what they say they’re gonna do, on time every time and returned phone calls. I used a pest control here in South Florida, and they could learn a lesson from them. The Orkin group that I use is in Greenville and I live in South Florida. They come once a month. The guy would send an email when he would be coming and would show up when he said he was gonna come. They put a lockbox on my property and because I’m not there all the time, they let themselves in and out, and lock up. The billing goes right out of my credit card every month. I’ve had zero issues with them in a couple of years. I don’t need any additional services but I would highly recommend Orkin to anybody.

Scheduling and billing with Orkin is perfect. They usually come out once a month and if I need them to come in between, I text my person, and she lets me know when she can come. I've had the same technician since we started and she's a friend. So, she comes in, talks with the kids and does her thing. The bugs go away. It's been an awesome experience with Orkin and people should use it because the stuff they use works. They got rid of a bee's nest and the tech got rid of a ton of ant problems.

As soon as we bought this home, we started right in with Orkin. We called them before we even moved in. I love their service. It's great. I have my Orkin man that I use because I like the same person to come to my home every time, and they've been good at that instead of sending different people. The only thing that I've ever had anything that I do is sometimes they want to schedule the appointment a little sooner and I call them to move it out a week. They always send me an email and all I have to do is either call Jacob directly or call Orkin and they reschedule it for me for a week.
The pest activity is very much under control. When I called them the first time and set up with it, they had to come three times a week to begin with, because when we bought the house we saw signs of termite. We also saw sugar ants in our closet. With the cold weather, this last year and the fires the year before, on the neighborhood app, everybody in our area was having problems with rodents. And we did, too. But our Orkin man came out and went under the house and stuffed the coily stuff so that they couldn't get through it. My husband was in the house and anywhere they could see a light, they were both stuffing from both directions. We haven't had any problems since. The tech still goes under the house and takes the traps out, empties them if anything's in them. So, we're extremely happy with our Orkin service.
Everybody's always polite when I call to pay my bill. I don't like strangers knocking on my door and if they couldn't get somebody steady, even the owner or manager of this area would be willing to come do it himself for me. So, I have nothing but good things to say about the company. The reps are all good and I like them all. I know them by name.

Greg, the person who comes out, is great. He's nice and always asks me if there's anywhere else I need to spray other than my basement. Occasionally, I've seen spiders in my back bathroom and he sprays back there too for me. During spring, he does spring spray around the foundation. I’m still getting spiders in my basement. So, the stuff isn't totally working, but it's not as bad as it had been. If the monthly cost was not so expensive, I'd probably have Orkin come out monthly. But as it is, I had it reduced down to quarterly so I could afford it.

But sometimes, they just didn't get what I was trying to say. We had a couple of people in between that were not good and who mouthed off to me and I will not accept that ever. One of them even said, "We're just gonna have to talk to your husband about that." That pissed me off and I said, "You don't have to talk to him. I'm the master gardener here and I know what I'm talking about. So, if you don't want to talk with me, you can just pack your gear up and you can leave," and he did. At which point, I called Orkin.
But, we've been really pleased with most of the Orkin services. We've always had great service and we love our Orkin man, Robert. He is a superstar. He shows up 5 to 10 minutes ahead so that he can get all of his products out, get his suit on and he has a mask.

The nice young man always calls when he's on his way, and then he will call from the driveway and let me know he's there, and then he knocks on the door before he leaves. He always does a good job.

Orkin comes every other month and they mostly spray and treat around the foundation. They also check my crawlspace for mice and set insect bait traps inside. I like the technicians. They're a good local company.

We started with a different company and they were bought by Orkin. They text or call and leave a message and say they're coming. We have a regular person that comes out every other month and he's just in and out.

I've been with the agency for years, and I've had a nice experience. I've always worked with very nice people, except once when they sent me somebody who hardly did his job. He was a young fellow and I thought he was on something. It was scary. He stayed 10 minutes, and he wasn't right on his feet. It was peculiar and I thought, "Why did they send me someone like that?" But it never happened again. Whoever I had recently was good and he did what he had to do. The one before this one was excellent as well, but he's no longer with Orkin.

The technicians are great, and I only had to change one once. I have been with Orkin over the span of 30 years and in two different states. They always take care of the problem and they've done a very effective job at helping to control pesky ants. One of their best features, besides controlling pests, is when they're walking around the house, they notice things that need to be fixed. There have been three occasions where they have noticed minor water leaks that we were not aware of, that we were able to take care of because they saw it when they were doing their inspection.

When they come out, they do a fairly good job. But the technician they have now is not very dependable, and I don't really trust that he's doing the job that the other technician was doing. I have reached out to Orkin about him and they put it on as this is someone that's not used to doing my area. He's kind of new. But when you tell someone you're going to be at the house, and you don't show up for two weeks, that's not acceptable. We have two small dogs and I don't want them outside if something is being sprayed. Also, this technician is not really a people person either.

Orkin's number one in the business so I'd definitely contact them. They're all local guys so I like that. Plus, they can tailor. You can get them monthly, quarterly, three times a year depending on how you want them.

I thought Orkin was coming out to treat for bedbugs. One technician made us think that he was treating for everything, including bedbugs, when they come out every other month. I didn't know that we'd only get a bedbug treatment once a year, but anything's better than nothing. On and off, it's been around professional service. I've had good technicians in the past, but I don't particularly care for the technician that comes around recently. He doesn't want me watching him, and sometimes, I tell him to do something and it looks like he's too fast.

I would definitely recommend Orkin. It's top-notch, and I haven't had any complaints at all. I have the cell number of the guy that handles my cabin, and if I have an issue or need him to do something, he would come by and handle it whenever I need it. He texts me in the week that he's going to be in that area and asks me if the cabin is vacant or if anybody's there. We try to work it out where he comes between clients, when they're cleaning, and he'll come that day and do the work.

Orkin Pest Control has always been good and between times, they always showed up and addressed the problem. I'm happy with that. Recently, I was notified online that they were setting an appointment, then their person called me saying what day and time they were coming. The lady was very nice, and when the techs came, they ran around the whole house, did everything, and gave me written instructions as to what things I should do to help. They were very nice, cordial, and left their note. Everything went well. They were very diligent about telling me that my rain gutters needed to be cleaned, that they were full of pine needles. I said, "Yeah, I know. I've been meaning to do that." After they left, within a few days, I had it done.

In my most recent service from Orkin, the tech sprayed the areas that weren't normally sprayed and he did everything right. A lot of the activity is gone. The main one with the shower, there's one here and there but they're dying. I've been very impressed with the way things are done.

During the summer months, Orkin services the outside then, in the winter months, it's inside. To me, it's all about the person servicing my home and the gentleman is very conscious of how he services his customers. The technician, Tom, is always very professional, which I truly respect. He's very good, stays on his schedule, and if there's any time that he needs to make a change, he normally gives me advance notice saying, "Hey, I'm going to be on vacation," then he finds out what days would be available for him to come out when he's on vacation. He gives me some options.

Orkin comes out quarterly and they set mouse traps, spray for bugs and kill bee nests. The technician has always been the same guy and he's remarkable.

They take care of ants, mice, and any bugs that would come in around the perimeter of the house. I have a mousetrap out there so they don't come in the house for the winter because I really hate mice. Also, they treated the carpenter bees in my garage. They keep everything at bay and they are always very accommodating and polite. They're also very aware of COVID and stay mainly outside unless we have an issue inside. They're very alert to all the precautions and whatnot. And they tell you exactly what they did, what kind of chemicals they use, and what they noticed. If they noticed anything, they would take care of that and let you know on your work order. I've never ever had a bad situation ever with them. I lost my job and I'm living on less money now, but I want to make sure that I still have them taking care of things like that.

Orkin's customer service is completely understanding and reasonable with anything I have questions about - like if I can't make a payment right away.

Every technician who comes has been very respectful, knowledgeable, and friendly.

I've been happy with Orkin. Every three months, they come and spray around the house, inside and outside, for bugs and rodents. Most of the time, it's the same person, but we're not there.

Orkin has been great. All the people near me knows the Orkin man comes to my house. The secretary at the office calls and asks me if I'll be home a certain time for service and a nice gentleman named Sam has been taking care of it for six years. He's always so cheerful and whenever I notice a problem and point it out, he takes care of it. I have my house on the exterior treated every month for fire ants. I'm deadly allergic to them. In February, I was out in the yard when I got three fire ant bites. I collapsed and my neighbors called 911. I was not breathing when the paramedics got here. I just added the whole yard treatment this year after my fire ant experience, so I can go in my yard. It lasts six months.

When Orkin's tech arrived, my husband mentioned to him what problem we had with mice, because we always do, and he dealt with it. He put the traps out that we needed and at the time, the summer was pretty much over, so he also dealt with all the wasps that we had beautifully. He knew exactly what to do, so that was great. Before him, we had this fabulous guy, Bruce, for years. We adored him but unfortunately, he was in an accident. So, we had this other chap coming out and we're quite happy with his service. He comes in very quietly and he's very courteous. He does what he needs to do then he leaves. Living in a log house at the foot of the mountain in the forest and recreation zone where we have everything here, Orkin has dealt with squirrels, bats, lots and lots of bees and wasps, carpenter ants, and mice.

I saw a mouse and it scared the bejesus out of me. I called Orkin, and we haven't had any creature since they've been coming. They've been good about that.

As we've gone on, there have been fewer questions from us, but the ones we have had, they've been able to answer. They also made some suggestions on things that we should do, preventative measures on our part, and that was good.
We had one guy who used to come regularly, but lately, we've had different people. That's one thing.

Orkin is top-rated and I love them. They initially came out for rodent control. They come out about once every two months. The same guy comes out and he's wonderful. He is cordial and makes sure his little boot shoes are on before he comes into my house. He puts me at ease and lets me know that if I see anything crazy flying around there, I can call the company. He gives me that assurance that Orkin has things under control. Last winter, a rodent came through and the tech came out. We never found it but we found how he got in. The tech blocked it and I haven't seen anything in pretty close to a year.
