    I feel completely embarrassed, stooped, and quite frankly a fool. I call in to request a one-time pest control service for a rat sighting. Somehow get swindled into a 1-year all-encompassing pest control service agreement. The sales call center states one-time service isn't an option. Ok, no problem as it was explained to me you can cancel anytime and that the contract is billed monthly after each month onsite visit. One visit each month and payment due after each visit. WRONG. Yes, you pay monthly, but they only come onsite to spray every other month. Oh, and then they only spray outside. Oh, and they also give you 0 warning on the day-of service, despite what you had requested to be wrote in your account notes. They literally had set multiple rat traps inside the visit before which weren't even checked upon the return visit because they didn't feel the need to go in! This was the whole point for the initial call, they completely forgot about their customer base and request.

    For those interested, this all equates to $126 per onsite spray visit. In which the tech will only be onsite for a total of 10 minutes. And only spray outside. Seriously!? For that much money, I want to see if they are hiring. This experience was a total scam, with an unethical lying call center. I could swallow the originally explained $63 per visit but $126!? Ridiculous. I wouldn't recommend Orkin to my worst enemies, that's how poor of an experience.

    Hello Dean. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we sincerely apologize for the frustration, confusion, and inconvenience this situation caused. We understand how upsetting it is to feel misinformed about services, billing, and visit expectations—especially when your original concern involved an active rodent issue inside your home. Your feedback regarding how the service agreement was explained, the frequency and scope of treatments, missed interior follow‑ups, and lack of day‑of communication is concerning and not the experience we want any customer to have. We regret that your expectations were not clearly aligned with the service provided, and we’re especially sorry that your specific requests and safety concerns were not handled appropriately. We take concerns about communication, transparency, and professionalism very seriously. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

    Orkin may have been the worst decision I made with pest control. I have never experienced such ineptitude and lack of ability in a "professional". Their scheduling is absolutely abysmal, having to give a 2 hour window to be there, during which they may or may not show up at said time. Once there, the technician practice and knowledge varied so widely, but in almost every case I had to be the one to tell the technician what to do and where to apply the treatments needed. Their so called expert review didn't seem to carry any weight in their actual treatment plan, and each one did something different for the last, with several of them having no regard for property and spraying with reckless abandon.

    Treatment is sparse and haphazard, and in one particular example when applied externally felt as though the individual couldn't care less. Their pricing policy is predatory and feeds off the discomfort you have with your home having pests without certainty of correction, and you cannot get out of the contract. And to top it all off, they placed rat poison in my garage without informing me, while I own dogs, and they got to it. I would sooner burn my house down than see another orkin truck in my driveway.

    Orkin has been really great. They have done a really good job in scheduling our appointments. They were really friendly and understanding. There were pest problems at my mom's. They had bedbugs. The service guys took their time doing their job and they explained everything, what they were going to do step by step and it didn't take time and they got rid of the problem. My mom's place has been completely free of pests. I haven't seen anything, and that was after the second treatment. We've had four done so far and we just had the fourth one done. In the last two visits, they haven't found anything. I'm very satisfied. Orkin has really good people.

    Do not call the service center for anything. They are not helpful and are not honest. I signed up for the monthly pest service and was told it would cover everything we need to get rid of mice and box elder bugs, but when the service guy came out he pretty much said they just check the mouse traps each month. They didn't do an inspection of the outside of the house (which should have been included in the $200 initial fee), we had to call to get someone to do that.

    I just called the service line again because we have moles in our yard and the lady said she'd get someone out right away. Well, when the inspector came he said they aren't even starting their mole services for another few months. Had to stay home from work for that. Although the employees are nice (which is the only reason I'm giving some stars), I feel like we were ripped off by paying the initial $200 fee and $50 a month because it's still not clear what service we are actually getting. Do your research before committing to a year of Orkin, and speak to an inspector first NOT the service center.

    Three people from Orkin have visited our home, and I like that because you get used to knowing who is coming to your home. They did what they were supposed to do. There was one guy in particular, Andre, who always went above and beyond. We’re in a rental and we had an issue in the attic. They came out to assess what we thought we heard. One of the guys who came was more of a supervisor named Jose, who said he could almost guarantee there was rodent activity. But Andre said he didn’t think so, but he would put some sticky traps down just in case. So, we never had any issues. They both addressed it, though Andre’s approach was a little better.

    I had a mouse problem and Orkin was able to assist in the normal yearly package I use. I originally called them up for a hornet and ground bee problem, and I subscribed for the year. Then I had a mouse problem and I wondered if they covered that. I called them up and they came out. They set traps and pointed out where the holes could be, which they would fill with the foam stuff. So, it was good. Since the service, I've noticed a difference at least with the mice. Also, I've had an ant problem last year, which I held out from calling them, and eventually, I just called because of the bee problem. So, I'll be curious to see if they are able to help with that ant problem that I had last year, if it comes up again this year. Other than that, whenever I call Orkin, I get a different person every time and their customer service has been great.

    My most recent experience is the only one that I've had with Orkin, but we had the home inspector come out. We thought that we just had ants. The home inspector found out that we had bats in the attic and found a problem with the insulation as well. So, we unfortunately had to have our insulation completely removed and re-blown. But it was definitely positive to have him find that, because our original home inspector did not when we bought the house eight months ago. So, that was good.

    We did get everything repaired. Everybody that came to the house was extremely friendly. You could tell they actually cared about the problem and took care of everything. The only downside we have was it was almost $10,000 to get it done. We got charged 5,500 even though our contract stated 5,000, which we told them, we're like, “Whatever. It’s an extra 500. Not a big deal.” But then, the next day, they charged our account again for another $500 out of nowhere. So, the only issues we really had were with the incorrect charging. But other than that, everything's been good. For everything that they did, it's not a bad price.

    Have had the termite pest control for 3-4 years through Orkin. They continue to make appointments without customer confirmation even after though we’ve requested it multiple times. They don’t show up when they are scheduled. Ex it’s currently 1:30pm and they were supposed to arrive between 10am-12pm for our annual inspection. When we had the mosquito control they also would call and confirm appointments even though we asked because we have a dog and fenced in backyard. They would show up when we aren’t home and unlock our gate to “work”, good thing our dog wasn’t out back. They are overpriced especially for the lack of professionalism.

    The recent termite control service was my first time calling the number. Someone came out. The experience was okay until I had to call Orkin back twice and let them know that they didn't do a great job. They're supposed to come back out to finish tomorrow. My carpenter had to go underneath the house and fix it up for me. He told me that the vinyl white paper Orkin put in there to keep the dampness from coming up into the house wasn't nailed down corner to corner. It's supposed to be corner to corner, coming to each side of the pillar of my house. They used concrete block instead on top of that. I was very unhappy about that because I paid a lot of money for that. You have to make sure they do the job properly. You shouldn't have to go back and check behind them. That’s what they are being paid for, a professional, but they didn't do that.

    Corey has been so thorough, and so conscientious with my problem. The last time that he came out, he listened and saw what I was talking about. He's now treating the entire house. Thank God for Corey. He really stepped it up from what I had, and he worked with Travis, who is the district manager. He was very good. He was very attentive when I was able to get to him. Travis put me with Corey. Scheduling my service now has been really good. I have a good system now. When I first started with Orkin, I was commuting to Chicago. They knew I was commuting to Chicago but there were times that I didn't even get a text message that they were coming and they just showed up. That was not how it was set up at all. If I had a text message earlier on that they were on their way, I could have had my husband here and instead of having the technician come back and forth because I wasn't here.

    When I started with Orkin, they were going to charge me for a problem, and that was unacceptable because I had ants. The tech wasn't even gonna treat the outside where I had video of ants. He thought I meant the whole perimeter. But I told him it was just the window. It is a miracle I still have Orkin. The only reason I have Orkin is because of Corey. I wish I had him at the beginning because maybe I wouldn't have such a problem.

    Scheduling the service was a hit or miss. I was on hold for 33 minutes one time, and I blasted them for that. They told me because I was on hold for 33 minutes, the manager was gonna credit me $30 off of my bill, but he never did. I made it a point because I was really mad. They have been rude to me at the beginning of scheduling. I was completely put out at the beginning. Now that I have everyone's telephone number and the problem is under control, it is pretty much automatic of a visit now.

    When I moved one piece of furniture, there was a nest, and it was an inside wall. They were all on inside walls. The manager and the first technician didn't want to believe me. I'm the one who lives in this house. I'm the one who cleans this, and this is I'm seeing where the problem is coming from. I sent a picture but crickets. I had to yell at customer service to get somebody higher up in this house who could help me. I could not fire Orkin because they created this problem. I wasn't going to pay more money to have something fixed by what they created. So my service didn't stop. I continue to pay for your visits.

    I've gotten stories that the managers never got the message. After talking with a couple of the technicians, they said the office does not contact the technicians about canceling or about coming here because they're not allowed to be on their phones. I get that if they are driving. But I don't know how they can get somebody here on an emergency. There was one manager who I had a telephone call with when I was in the middle of hell with earwigs. My house was inundated with earwigs and that was after I had Orkin for almost a year. They were in my napkins and my towels. They were everywhere, shoes, pillows and on my head.

    This house is meticulously clean and for this to happen after almost a year of having Orkin was unacceptable. The technician did not do his job. He did not care about doing his job. He did not listen to me. I don't even understand why he even has a job. We also had the expense of caulking the entire house on the floor. We sealed pretty much everything. We have dug trenches. It's still a little too raw because I still have to have boxes all around my house. It's a constant reminder of what I had in this house. My house is only 2,400 square foot and there are almost 20 boxes throughout my house. That is how detailed that they have to be to try to watch where they're gonna start coming from this spring. I would only recommend Orkin if Corey was doing their yard. If it was not Corey, I wouldn't recommend them at all, because I would not know what type of technician they had.

I made them come back and babysat them. She paid for it by check then they stated they were wanting interest which she paid in full. Then they called my business for plumbing work after sending w9 and my info they requested. They never paid me so will seek legal help. STAY AWAY FROM ORKIN IN PLAINFIELD IL.

    It has been a very positive experience. We're very pleased. We moved into this house as a new house. Initially, we had some roaches. Orkin took care of that. Also, they are consistent. We know they're coming. They send me a text and tell me what day and time approximately. We don't have to play a guessing game. Our person, Sid, is always good. If I had a problem, I just tell him and he would take care of it. Occasionally, after rains, we'll end up with ants, but we don't have any issues. If I need something extra, I just text Sid and let him know that there's a problem that we need to do an extra treatment. I pay my bill online and that works very well.

    I called Orkin to address a spider cricket infestation at my weekend home in Pennsylvania. This is not my primary residence and sometimes we aren't up there for several weeks at a time. I explained this to the technician and he said no problem, they would return as many times as necessary till the problem was resolved. I returned to the house a week after the first treatment and the problem seem to be resolved, but when I returned 3 weeks after that, the bugs had returned as well. I called and explained that I wasn't sure when I could get back up there, but would call to schedule when I knew. In the interim I received the bill for $140.

    It seems that when I signed the invoice, indicating the technician had completed the work. I was also signing an agreement for monthly service, which was not made clear to me, unfortunately, I did sign it. When I called to question this and request another service based on the original contract I was told it had expired that now the monthly service contract was in effect and each additional service would incur an additional charge. I feel they were deceptive, and my advice would be find a local contractor in your area, preferably a family owned business who is invested in their neighborhood and has reasonably good reviews.

It’s disappointing to hear that expectations around follow-up service and billing were not clearly communicated, and we regret that this left you feeling misled. Transparency and clear communication are very important to us. While service agreements are reviewed at the time of service, we recognize that they can sometimes be misunderstood, and we take feedback like yours seriously. Thank you again for your feedback.

    The technician came in and did what he was supposed to do. I have a different technician now, but the service is the same. It’s excellent. The last time the technician came out, I didn’t have any concerns. But right now, I have been hearing noises in my attic again. So, when he comes again, I’m going to let him know. The last technician went up in the attic and put some stuff around because there was something up there and I didn’t like it. Orkin’s prices are a little too high, but they are doing a good job. If neighbors have a pest control problem at their house, they should call Orkin and not try to take it into their own hands, because it’s not going to turn out too good.

    I tried a different pest control company but it seemed like when they came and sprayed, the pests were attracted. Then my neighbor told me to go with Orkin. He said after my second spray, I'm not gonna really see any pest activity. I scheduled with them and the first time they came out, I could see the pest activity die down after a couple of days. It was like they weren't really there. Then Orkin came out a second time and sprayed again. From the last time they sprayed, which was a month ago, I've only seen two of the pests.

    The technician was great. He explained everything that he was doing and everything that he had done. He also explained to me that he collected all of the glue traps and if he missed any, to just squeeze them tight, flatten them down and throw them away. It's been a great experience with Orkin and I'm gonna keep their service. I was thinking they'd have a ridiculous price as they're known but when I got my price, that wasn't the case.

They came while I was at work twice. And they charged me even though I didn't renew the contract. I still was billed for $97.even though in good faith I paid half over the phone off my bank account, and promised to pay the other half this month (February).

    Well they took it out my account Friday February 13,2026 after I'd called them and told them Thursday that I would call and pay the money on Tuesday February 17,2026. Do not give Orkin your bank information. They take money when they want to once they get you bank information. When I first did the contract I asked them to take the money every 10th of the month due to other bills I had to pay. Well they took it on the The 6th of the month and didn't change it. This is not a good company to deal with. So unprofessional and no respect for customer desires. Never will I deal with them again. And preparing to take them to court for how they did me.

    Orkin was doing "service" for my folks and come to find out, gave my elderly parents a highly overpriced estimate when mouse droppings and a bat was found in the house. They wanted $17,000 for remediation and we were able to have an independent company do that work plus more for $6800. To make matters worse, it was right as my dad passed.

I have also left messages and never received a callback. In addition, my service professional has stopped responding entirely.

I did call twice to make sure the instructions and everything was good to go in the notes for the exterminator.. I put all the mouse traps in a cabinet besides the refrigerator and let them know that they need to be reset because the mice already took the bait and I had a realtor come in and took pictures so I didn’t want them in the pictures… I got called by Jesse and let him know the whole spiel as well since he didn’t realize I was going to be home… (mind you I left notes for the Exterminator) I told him everything that was in the notes that I gave the Orkin operator to let the Exterminator know what to do and where the traps were…

    After I got the message he left. I called and checked to see how it went and realized he didn’t even set any of the traps or listen to what I said, that I told him and that the traps were in the cabinet beside the refrigerator that needs setting… He only did the few of them that were out… So now the key was locked in the house because I told him to put the key in the house and lock it inside when he was done… Thank goodness I was on my way to Pleasanton because I live in San Antonio…so he could go back in and do what I said needed to be done in the first place….

    I understand sometimes people are set in their ways and think they know what they gotta do cause it’s their job but I really wish he would’ve listened a lot more to what I had to say. That way I wouldn’t have had to go back to Jourdanton to go unlock the door again… Communication is a big thing to me, especially when I know I told Orkin on the phone two times and I also let him know probably a couple times talking to him…. Hopefully we can get this straight next round.. Maybe a little more training and listening… This is the only reason I gave it a three star instead of a five.

Didn't put any bait boxes at the entry points at the back of the house. The inspection was after the technician had placed the bait boxes which was unusual I thought. And when the technician came out to collect the bait boxes it wasn't my original technician and I had to retrieve the boxes for them. All in all I canceled my service. They wanted $197 up front and the bait boxes that were to be put at the entry points were going to be an extra $50.

    Please do not use their service. They charge a lot of money but provide no real help. The first visit cost us $250, and they did almost nothing — they just closed one hole and that was it. No treatment, no solution for the mice problem. Later they asked if we wanted a monthly subscription for inspections. I clearly said no, but they still signed us up and charged us anyway. The money is non-refundable.

    After they closed the hole, the mouse left, and we are sure it exited through that same hole behind the dishwasher — it was the only hole we had. However, they kept insisting the mouse came from somewhere else, which is not true. Overall, this was a complete waste of money. Very disappointing experience. I do not recommend this service.

    I have used Orkin Denver pest control for several years for control of mice in a rental house, but I have been rather dissatisfied with their service. The house is in the mountains, which drives the mice inside in the winter time, but I see little impact from their service. I frequently set traps and catch mice, but their traps are rarely updated or re-baited, yet they have me on auto-billing for hundreds of dollars per year. When I call and tell them there is a problem, they are very polite and say they'll do more, but I can't tell any difference in the traps or the results.

I’m truly sorry to hear that you’ve been feeling dissatisfied with the effectiveness and consistency of our service — especially after trusting us with your rental property for several years. Given the challenges of a mountain home, mice activity can definitely increase in the colder months, but you should still be able to rely on us for proactive, consistent support. The fact that you’ve had to set and maintain traps yourself, while our visits didn’t show meaningful updates or re-baiting, is not the level of care we aim to provide.

When the technician arrived he stated the house is clean and no need to worry. Clean houses does not equal no pests. After signing a contract and no service was performed this is unacceptable. I will continue to let everyone know what type of business this is and to never contract with them unless you want to be ripped off.

    Response from Orkin
    Hi Jan, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are truly sorry to hear about the frustration you and your mother encountered — especially when you were trying to do something supportive and thoughtful on her behalf.

    It concerns me to hear that the technician dismissed your mother’s concerns simply because the home was clean. You’re absolutely right — cleanliness does not determine whether pests can enter a home, especially when the issue may originate from a neighboring unit. What’s even more troubling is that a agreement was signed, yet no service was mediocre. That is not acceptable and does not reflect the level of professionalism or care we aim to provide. You deserved transparency, action, and respect for your time and trust. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback helps us improve, and we truly want to earn back your trust.

    I hired Orkin to get rid of mice in my house. Their estimate was $10K but Kody, the sales rep, stated that Orkin was the best in the business and worth the cost. He promised reliable, professional service and warned me how toxic mice feces/urine was to respiratory function. The techs left a mess of insulation and the toxic feces smashed into my carpet and spread throughout the house. They tracked the feces into my bathroom rugs and left a mess on my sink. They broke my closet door and frame.

    I have called repeatedly over the past two months and talked to the Hickory, NC manager, who promised to fix my closet door. Then no one follows up. For an unknown reason, the techs store a roll of painting tape and scissors from my house, which isn't a big deal but is unprofessional. I have asked for the door to be replace or to receive a refund for the cost of a new door. They have provided neither. Also, there are still mice living in my house so they didn't solve that either.

    Orkin schedules appointments without contacting me first for confirmation. Even worse, there's no way to reschedule or cancel through their website or app - you must call, and they won't accommodate appointment changes based on your availability. This rigid, outdated system shows little respect for customers' time. In an age where most service companies offer convenient online scheduling, Orkin's inflexibility is frustrating and unacceptable. The lack of customer-centric service makes it hard to recommend them despite the quality of their pest control work.

    I had/have a termite infestation in my house. I called Orkin because I thought that they would take care of the problem and if something went wrong it would be a hassle free resolution. I spent several thousand dollars with them for tenting and perimeter of treatment. According to the salesperson, this was the only way they would guarantee the work. I had "live" termites a week after the treatments were done. I thought they were a random termite, but I was wrong. Four months after treatments, I have piles of droppings all over my house. In the last three weeks, I've had four agents visits to collect samples and still no resolution. One was unannounced from the company that tented. Orkin does NOT TENT your house.

    Canceled our service because our technician told us multiple times he couldn't treat drain flies, so we found a company that could. We canceled at the beginning of the month (Oct 2025). Then I get a text reminder about my service on 10-20, so I call again to make sure they know everything is canceled. The technician still showed up, seemed confused that he wasn't supposed to be there, wasn't willing to listen to the adult that was at home telling him he wasn't supposed to be there, so I was called at work, and thank God I wasn't with a client at the time, because normally I'm unable to take personal calls at work, and it seemed that he just wanted to speak to myself or my husband directly so that he could blame us for him not doing his job and lie directly to me telling me that my husband never mentioned our drain fly problem, when it had been brought it up at last 3 times to the technician.

    I had also brought it up with the lady (really tall redhead) who did our initial inspection, and she stated she wasn't sure what Orkin could do because they had to be careful about what chemicals they put in the water supply. Needless to say were shocked to find out that Orkin did in fact treat drain flies, which we didn't find out until we called to cancel.

    At best, the company has a lot of communication problems because we very clearly stated we were canceling service weeks prior to the guy showing up. But even if we were willing to continue working with Orkin, it could never be with the same technician; the blatant lies and attempt to blame shift would only make for awkward interactions in the future. I'm not saying you need to build the same level of trust with your Orkin guy as you do with your doctor or hair stylist, but you should at least be able to trust that they are going to behave honestly and professionally.

I called them several times and requested this but the guy keeps coming out while I was at work and they keep charging me. I finally talk to a different person who seems like he’s from higher up position and can cancel my service but can’t take the 75$ off that they are charging me again and has to have the office manager Jeff call me back. They have maxed out my credit card even after multiple requests of canceling.

    Both receptionist Dawn and Trisha were very monologue and didn’t seem like they could give a crap, both said on multiple occasions they would cancel my service and I wouldn’t be charged but yet when I spoke with the last gentleman he said he would go ahead and cancel it which tells me those two ladies are NOT doing their jobs and will he cancel it? I have been using them since 2020, I will call them every time I need service because they had did a great job in the past. I don’t know what all has changed in the last year but they are awful.

    If I could give zero stars, I would. We contacted Orkin after their bat exclusion job across the road caused over 100 bats to move into my 78-year-old mother’s barn - a barn that had no prior infestation. Instead of helping, Orkin sent someone who didn’t even go inside, said “holy cow,” touched my mother several times without permission, showed us photos of someone else’s bat problem (seriously?), and implied we were lucky to have our land (land that’s been in our family for over 150 years and that we’ve worked extremely hard to maintain).

    He told us Orkin would take no responsibility and might not even do the job at all since they “guarantee their work.” Then we got a vague text saying the “big boss” would come out. He never showed. No estimate, no proposal, no follow-up. I filed a formal complaint - twice - and never received a response. Nothing. My family has deep roots in this community. We know just about everyone here, and I’ll be telling them all exactly what happened. Orkin was dismissive, unprofessional, and completely unaccountable.

LOL ok so I called another company and they wanted money off my credit card before they even set up an appointment.

    I heard a noise that night I was petrified,called Orkin and they had someone out here that next morning. I have had the pleasure of meeting a lot of the crew as in the summer they sealed all enclosures to my home. They followed up 3 days later to make sure I didn't have anything in the house. Oh and I did have roof rat back in December my husband trapped 3 before orkin came, never had we had rats the 15 years we owned our home. I was beside myself.

    Ryan one of the first guys to show assured me I was in great hands. He was absolutely right because the last one caught was before they came in. They set all traps and sealed home since and nothing has ever been caught ever since. I highly recommend them. All the guys are wonderful and go above and beyond. They have eased all of my fears and mostly addressed all of my issues moving forward. Even though my home is sealed I will keep my monthly contract which is so worth it because they come every other month to inspect. And compared to other companies out there they are well dressed well spoken ans well informed. I have never had a hard time with getting a hold of anyone either. Some gave me personal cell phones in case of emergency because they knew how scared I was. They said since I didn't put it off they didn't have to worry that even if something comes up ever agian I will be taken care of.

    Joe who does the main inspection came out the day of the exterior work had also been out here to explore financing, so if you need finance they help with that too. We didn't fortunately and were given a discount to pay in cash. The guys came out and spent a few hours doing the work and all were very polite, clean and just amazing. Had a walk through today and it was later only because I had been busy but they came out and adressed any concerns today as well. And I am still rodent free not even a mouse trap was set off and the guys will be back in a few days for their regular inspection. These two guys today looked everywhere that I was afraid of and assured me that I'm good

    So if you want peace of mind and professional service that goes above and beyond call Orkin, you will not regret it. The biggest mistake is to put any rodent problems off as they can get bad real fast and these guys will tell you that. I'm so happy I decided to use them. A+++++ and definitely 5 star services.

    I have a commercial account with Orkin, including a Termite Bond for a 34-building apartment community. While I’ve only had to call for termite issues a few times over the past two years, the process of requesting service has become increasingly frustrating and difficult. More often than not, I cannot get through to anyone by phone. When I do manage to speak with someone, I’m told that a service request has been submitted and someone will follow up. Weeks go by, and I never receive a return call. This most recent time, I’ve been waiting over two weeks with no response. I pay over $5,000 annually for this service, and frankly, I feel like I’m getting nothing in return. When I do request service, I can’t even get a call back, let alone a visit.

    To make matters worse, their required “Annual Inspection” this year was completely inadequate. The technician was on-site for no more than 20 minutes and never even checked in with my office. Instead, they flagged down a maintenance tech to sign off on the inspection paperwork. With 34 buildings to inspect, I have to ask — what exactly did they inspect in such a short time? Fortunately, my contract is expiring soon, and I will not be renewing. Based on my experience, I cannot in good faith recommend Orkin to any other commercial property manager. I will absolutely never use them again.

On the new service day, a Orkin technician showed up, the first thing he wants is to sign the service contract, which is not a problem. But the problem is the contract is different from the one their salesperson sent to me, after I showed the technician the contract I have, the technician said he needs to call his manager, after that the technician left without any note.

    I have had a horrible experience with Orkin's customer service. They falsely started a payment plan for my $15,000 service package. I paid the charge upfront, before the service was even performed, yet I received notice of my payment schedule. I contacted them immediately and they acknowledged that they had made a mistake. The person I spoke with was Nick. He asked me to send him a copy of my statement notice that shows I was charged $86.68 interest. He also asked for a copy of my credit card charge history showing that I had paid in full, which was prior to any payment due to their 3rd party collection agency. I sent him both. That was 4 weeks ago and he has not reimbursed me for their error. I have tried to contact him 5 times but he won't call me back. Their customer support staff say they will give him a message to call me but he doesn't. DON'T USE ORKIN! And this NIck guy should be fired.

    This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. First, you can never get a hold of a live person to talk to. Tried for two days and finally got a live person. Who, by the way, was not the epitome of friendliness. First they charged me $200+ and then wanted to charge me an extra 65.00 for simply laying pellets. Plus they came with 4 men. Simply to lay pellets? Now on top of that, they are charging me monthly an extra $51+ dollars. Trying to cancel the service is nearly impossible. Said I signed a year contract and if I wanted to cancel would have to give them 30 days notice. Which I did today but they are still charging me an extra month and don't give cancellation notices! Oh, yeah and I haven't got any service yet at all. This service covers PA 17111 area.

    My experience with Orkin has been a nightmare. Three times their associates have arrived only to admit that their equipment was faulty, and they could not render the full service. The first installation of the bait stations was so inconsistently spaced they had to add 6 or 7 more stations to comply, after I complained. On two of the semiannual inspections the person failed to arrive with a working "locator" and missed numerous bait stations. Had I not been here to catch it they would simply have sent me a report confirming a total service. Pedro, the salesperson has been the only person responding to my desperate calls. A month after he assured me the manager or service manager will call, as I would like to cancel any further services, I still await those calls. They seem to be utterly undependable and unprofessional. Homeowners beware.

    We had a very disappointing experience with Orkin (Fayetteville location). From the start, we were not given an honest assessment of our pest issue and ended up paying for a service that wasn’t needed. The work was poorly done—my husband had to re-check their work in the attic himself. As a new mom with an infant, I felt especially vulnerable and trusted their expertise, only to realize later that we were misled and taken advantage of. We were continually passed around without honest answers or returned calls from Brandon **, Freddie **, and Sean. While the branch manager, James, eventually gave us a partial discount, the service should have been fully refunded given the dishonesty, poor workmanship, and unnecessary treatment. We will not be using Orkin again and do not recommend them.

They put the same powder and liquid poison outside the nest you can buy at any department store.

As a homeowner you cannot wait one year for yellow jackets to die in your walls or you will have a massive problem.

    I paid for Orkin’s carpenter bee treatment (receipt attached). After being promised by their representative that the service would be guaranteed for a year. Within three weeks, the carpenter bees came back. When I called to report the issue, I was told I would get a call back. That never happened. I called multiple times and was ignored. My wife also called, and they told her the same thing— “we’ll call you back”—but again, no follow-up at all.

    Orkin never again answered our calls. Orkin is extremely quick to take your money, but when it comes to actually solving the problem or honoring their guarantee, they vanish. If they can’t handle the job, they should have the professionalism and maturity to say so upfront, instead of stringing customers along. This was a complete waste of money, time, and trust. I would not recommend Orkin to anyone.

    I normally don’t write reviews, but I feel it’s important to share my recent experience with Orkin in hopes that it helps them improve their service. I reached out for help with a rodent issue and was eager to resolve it quickly. While every representative I spoke with on the phone was polite and kind, the actual service delivery fell far short. I made nearly 10 calls trying to get an appointment honored. I even took time off work and stayed home for a scheduled visit, only to have it canceled without explanation. It wasn’t until I called multiple times that I was told the operator was unwell and couldn’t come out.

    I understand emergencies and illness happen, but the lack of communication, follow-up, and flexibility in scheduling was very disappointing. Reschedules were only offered during my work hours, despite my repeated requests for alternatives. Calls often required a 4-10-minute wait, and although I was told the scheduler would reschedule, no one followed up. Meanwhile, I had already paid for the service, yet no treatment was delivered—and the rodent problem only worsened.

    What would make a difference:
    Clear and timely communication if an appointment must be canceled.
    More flexible scheduling options or backup operators so customers aren’t left waiting indefinitely.
    Proactive follow-up from the company instead of leaving the burden on the customer to call repeatedly.

    Ensuring that payment is tied to service delivery, not just booking.

    This was, unfortunately, the poorest service I have experienced to date. I truly hope Orkin reviews this feedback and makes the necessary changes, because customers like myself are reaching out at a stressful time when timely and reliable help is critical.

However, what they don't tell you is that an "inspector" will be out to assess the issue. Your issue is not resolved that day. We had no idea. The inspector did not come out the same day. They gave us a window of 2 hours, no show, no call. I called 45 minutes after the 2 hour window and no one had any idea why there was a no show. She put me on hold to check and we got disconnected. I will assume I wasn't hung up on. NO one called me back. I waited for over 5 mins and called back. They told me they can only call out so dropped calls are not returned. Turns out we had a large amount of rain and a few roads were flooded out so he was unable to come. Not a problem but no one could call us to let us know?

    Another employee called us after my call. He was to come out the next day. We still are not aware at this point that he is only there to assess the issue. He came out and was a nice young man. He informed us he was only assessing and someone would call to make an appointment. HOWEVER, we needed to pay him for the appointment ahead of time; we paid. Another day goes by and we now have an appointment on the calendar. I asked the person on the phone how the process would work, do we need to be out of the house, are the chemicals safe; she informed me that she only makes appointments and can not answer any questions. So I ask, can someone call me to answer my questions. She said the tech will answer when he comes out. Again, can someone call me ahead of time. Her response was that she will ask him but can't guarantee it. What???

    The tech comes out and I ask about the process. He at first said he didn't know. He walked up our stairs to the room and left a trail of mud on our stairs. I mentioned it and he went back down the stairs in the same shoes trailing the mud again to put on shoe coverings. Maybe you should have led with that? Then he talked with the inspector and told us he was going to poke holes in the wall and put powder in it. I asked about spraying where they come in. He can't do that because he doesn't have a ladder tall enough. Again, WHAT?? Why is there no communication between people at your company. This makes no sense to me.

    He poked holes, sprayed out the window close to where the bees are coming in but not where they are actually coming and couldn't get out of our home fast enough. He told us they are not allowed to go on a ladder above the first floor. So in other words, you were the wrong company for the job. HORRIBLE customer service, HORRIBLE communication internally and externally. We will NEVER call Orkin again. My husband had to get the ladder out and spray the outside of the house himself.

The work they quoted was expensive but based on other quotes they were on the high side but in line.

    They quoted 5 things to do. 2 of which they did not do at all, the other 3 they did attempt were complete fails. They incompetently or accidently unencapsulated our crawl space as well. We had to fix that ourselves. They came out 4 times and we had to be there to watch them since each time they did less work, and worse job. The managers came out the last time and it looks laughable. If Orkin's goal was to keep doing so bad we'd say don't come back and quit wasting our time then they succeeded at that!

I disclosed this very important fact to the Orkin representative who came to my home 8 months ago. They assured me that Orkin could protect my home from scorpions. On May 15th, Orkin came out to treat our home for scorpions. This morning, June 13th, I was stung by a scorpion in my clothes as I was getting dressed. Had that been my wife, she would be in the hospital, fighting for her life.

    When I called Orkin first thing this morning, they refused to talk to me, stating that I would have to communicate through email. Four emails and 3 phone calls later, I get a response via email that they will resend a technician to treat again tomorrow. They refused to address the fact that the last treatment failed to work. I asked for a plan that Orkin could give me that would be effective (via email). Their only response is to send a technician out and do the same thing that they did less than a month ago, which failed. No discussion, no review of their failed treatment program, no concern for my wife and her life or health, "Just send out a technician again."

    I advise anyone serious about the health of family members, looking for a caring, competent, and humane company, to look elsewhere. Orkin would not even talk to me until, after four emails, Corey called me with the same old response, "Let's do it again with the same technician." Zero, zero concern for my wife and her safety. I fired them.

    The company advertises 24-hour support through sales, paperwork, marketing items, and phone hold messages. However, except for two people, no one returns calls. They do not show up, and if they do, they don't call in advance. In their presence, pest control has been "uncontrolled." My tenants have mice in their bathrooms and on their beds. No one returns calls. The emergency line only escalates into a vacuum and never reaches the right people. It always takes months to resolve issues. I have them for three properties and removed them from my personal today. I am getting rid of them.

    I’m extremely disappointed with the repeated cancellations of the pest control service by Mr. Paul ** scheduled in Minneapolis. This is now the second time your team has canceled on very short notice. I arranged my schedule and waited at the property, only to be notified again that the appointment was canceled. This is a serious waste of my time and incredibly frustrating—especially considering my tenants are dealing with an active pest issue that cannot be delayed any further.

    Ever since the Rentokil merger, our service has been non-existent! Had one tech show up, sat in our parking lot for 20 minutes, waited until we went out on property, didn't call the number on the door, didn't leave a "missed you" notice, sprayed a line across the front flower box (not in service contract) and left. He charged for the service he didn't provide, all on cameras.

    Called, they sent another tech the Saturday after, did a decent job, and told us we had been moved to the South Bend office for service from Indianapolis (again, no communication from anyone at their office). Then No one showed for regularly scheduled service at beginning of May. Called them and complained, said they had moved our service date to mid month, again no communication until we called. Then, no one showed again. Waited until today, 5/30/2025 to call and cancelled service altogether. Customer service agent gave basic apology, but didn't even offer to try to fix the issue. 0 stars if I could, do not recommend!

    I recently had the house treated for termites. I had a problem and called for an inspection. They set up an appointment, I waited all day, and no one showed up or called. I called the office at 3:30 and was told no one would be there today. I'll have someone call and set up an appointment with you. It's been 5 days, still no call. Over $3800.00 for 10 hours work, and I can't even get a call back. I went and purchased a bait station and installed it myself. My advice is that you can buy all the material for about $300.00, real simple to install. Save yourself $3000.00 and do it yourself.

    I called Orkin to say I had carpenter ants. They were going to have technician call me. After a few days of not hearing from them I called another company. About 2 weeks after my call to Orkin my neighbour said a technician came by to say she had an appointment with me. Not true. I got a report/invoice by email. I called to complain and they said a technician had tried to reach out to whereby I explained there was no call from anyone at Orkin, no voice mail, no text, to email and certainly to appointment made.

    For the most part they are nice and professional, and I am happy with the services, however I would make sure to get accurate rates as they misguided me as far as the payment. I ended up getting charged more for each service when I was told a specific amount initially. I'm not very happy with that at all and may be ending my services on behalf of misinformation. I feel as if I was lied too. When I spoke to a representative about it all she said was "I'm sorry, I can turn off your autopsy". I would have been happier if she would have looked into my initial call to see what was said and make it right. If I would have been explained correctly the first time I wouldn't be so upset. I do plan to cancel my services if they don't make it right.

    I scheduled a free estimate for termites. They gave me a window of 2pm-4pm. I awaited them to arrive, but instead, at 3:40pm I got a phone call from them. The technician said he can give me a quote over the phone. So they never even came out to meet me and have a look at the house. If they were going to just give prices without looking at anything, why waste my time waiting for someone to come?? So, I called Terminix instead, and their technician actually showed up, offered advice, and made suggestions as he walked the whole property to look at things. I decided to go with Terminix. Orkin's approach was very unprofessional.

    I called Orkin to get a quote on their services, price and the type of pest that they would treat for. The lady I spoke with let me know their company was the best in the business several times. She then said, "Let's get you scheduled" and I told her No, I would need to speak to my husband about the pest you said you could treat and the price it would cost because he is the one that pays the bills. My husband wanted me to call around and get quotes and services from several sources in our area. I told the lady on the phone that my husband was currently working and would not get off from work until 4:00-4:30 PM and I would speak to him about the quotes. I was upfront with her that I was only calling for quotes at this time. She asked again to get me scheduled, I had to tell her again that I would speak to my husband BEFORE I would schedule for services. The call then ended.

    4-6 minutes later my phone rang, It was Orkin calling me to let me know that I did not get on the schedule for services. I told her that I know I was not scheduled because I was calling to get a quote and that I had just gotten off the phone with them and that I needed to speak to my husband about it before getting scheduled. While on the phone with the 2nd lady from Orkin a man from Orkin calls kind of irritated because he said I was not scheduled for services and that he tried to send me an email and that it did not go through. I gave him my email and told him it was 590 not 59o and I also let him know that I had the other lady from Orkin on hold and that I was only calling to get a quote.

    I went back to the lady on hold and had to explain to her that I had to wait to speak to my husband about the price and services and I ended the call. That was yesterday, at 7:55 AM guess who calls, Yep Orkin and I was pissed. He asked how I was doing and I told him that I was sleeping and that it wasn't even 8 AM. He knew I was not happy with his very early phone call and then I asked him rather rudely what did he want. I then had to explain once again why I was not scheduled for services and then told him to stop being so damn pushy about getting me scheduled and hung up on him! Within 40 minutes of all these calls, I received 5 emails from Orkin one of them letting me know that they would be calling me soon to get me scheduled for services. This is getting down to be harassment at this time. Sorry I ever called them!!!

Been fighting bugs for 7 months at 100 bucks a month. Get told we are lying and they treated it. This company is terrible. Call anyone else or go buy some spray at Walmart.

    We've been using ORKIN for ants for a few years and recently we decided to give them a try for mice control. For 12 years, we would catch 3-5 mice each Spring and 3-5 mice each Fall. The quote was $1,900 for a mouse barrier to be placed between the foundation and the siding and then be covered by a wire mesh so mice could not chew through it. Sales guy advised we would may an uptick in mice for the first month (as they try to get out of the house), then promised no more mice after that.

    After the service guy completed the work, I noticed that finished product wasn't quite what the sales guy had quoted so we called them back. More steel wool was placed in a few areas and then an explanation provided on why he couldn't apply the mesh as quoted. When he finished his work the second time, he assured, "he has been installing mouse barrier for 17 years and stakes his reputation that we will see NO more mice".

    The final results; Paid ORKIN close to $2k, caught two mice in the first six weeks and nothing for the next month so I started to think it may have been worth the investment. However, when the weather got cold, we've caught close to 20 mice in the last two months. This was a major waste of money and I would not recommend.

    Justin came and performed a very thorough inspection of our home, from going in the attic to crawling underneath our home making sure to document (with pictures) every opening the rodents were using. Afterwards, he showed me the pictures and went over his plan of action. Within a few short days his crew arrived and executed the plan to a tee. Justin even came back out to take pictures and show me the work that was performed. We have not had any issues with rodents since. This program was worth every penny spent.

    There's a lot to like about Orkin but beware of a couple of issues. They are expensive ($95 per month, in my case), but maybe that's to be expected for an at-home service. Also, some of their associated services—particularly insulation—were not competitive with other insulation contractors. When they came out to do the estimate, they were not thorough, and their price was higher. Having said that, I still strongly recommend Orkin Pest Control services.
