    Took my credit card # then didn't show! I would give this place 0 stars if I could. Made a same day appointment, gave them my credit card number and they did not show up or call. I cannot get anyone to pick up the phone. It's as if they are screening calls. DO NOT RECOMMEND!

    I had an appointment today from 8-10, nobody came at that time. I called customer service, they said it was an emergency with the technician and promised that someone will come from 10-12. Nobody came during that time also. I called again, they said someone was coming at 12:30, still no one showed up. By one o’clock, after five hours of waiting, I could not wait any longer. I called again and said I didn’t care if they came, I am leaving. Customer service representatives are absolutely useless, because they can’t do anything if there is a problem. They promised me that a scheduling person will call me, and a manager will call me, but nobody reached out. They can’t fix the time of appointments and every time they schedule appointments, appointments get cancelled or rescheduled for another time without prior notice. I am sorry this is happening now, because a half year before it was an ok company.

    Their service sucks. I waited two months just for an appointment that was delayed! I had to go to Home Depot myself to get the rats out of my house, because the technicians (PELE) was not answering my messages for weeks to confirm my appointment so I rescheduled. When he finally arrived, he was already rude. He would not spray my house due to my dogs were fighting in my house but my son took them to my other son's house down the street. He still would not go into the home because he was afraid. I had to take two days off just to clean my home. Yet no one still has called me back due to this. I will definitely never use Orkin again!!! I was also charged and nobody ever helped me. He was also recording me.

    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.

    Absolutely horrible experience with Critter Control branch of Orkin. We had them out for moles and nothing good happened. Huge upfront cost, ineffective treatments, absolutely horrible communication, techs coming out for "service" when ground was frozen solid. I saw one tech get out of his truck, walk around the solid frozen yard, get back in his truck and write up a $99 service report. Complete waste of a ton of money. Total upsell at beginning with assurances the mole problem would be solved with 2-3 ,treatments. Monthly treatments for 10 months during which time half our yard was destroyed.

Convinced we did not have mice infestation in our attic. He used fear tactics to get contract. I complained and nothing happened. He showed up at our house again this year after we were told he was forbidden to return and complaint last year.

    We have bees in the walls. We called other pest control places and they could not come out for a few days. We called Orkin and they could come out the same day. 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. Nice job Orkin for $300.

    If you are reading this, find some other company than Orkin. Please don't get cheated like we did. We have everything in emails and photos to prove their incompetence and or apathy. We should have known since most of the contract we signed dealt with arbitration and not suing them. They told us we had a bad mice and snake problem in our encapsulated crawlspace and attic, and probably the walls too. 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!

    If this is the best you can do, your competitors appreciate you! Us on the other hand feel cheated out of our hard earned money for a laughably poor job. I plan on working my way up the Orkin chain of command and file a BBB complaint. Attached photos are AFTER they said they were done. We have many more if you're interested or Orkin's competitors.

    I hired Orkin 8 months ago. My wife has severe reactions to scorpion stings, which have been life-threatening. 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. Moving to Georgetown Pest Control, who did talk to me on the phone (in person), gave me details on three very effective methods for scorpion control and has 638 five-star ratings out of 638 reviews. And they were very concerned about helping to protect my wife and her safety.

    Service technicians were two hours late for our initial appointment. They were also unprepared and couldn’t finish the job. They came back out (late again) and still didn’t properly finish the job. They were supposed to do exclusion work to keep pests out, but they left gaps larger than 1/4” left untreated! I would not rely on Orkin to do any proper exclusion work in the future. Not surprising since it’s just another opportunity for them to charge for extermination services.

    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!!!

    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.

I would also like to commend Justin and his crew for how well they executed the rodent program as well as how effective it has been.

    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.

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.

At this point I had not seen a mouse inside my house, So I allowed them to removed ALL of my installation, spray a cleaning solution in my attic, which removes their urine because that is what they follow in their trails, and the cleaning solution smelled really clean. They also sprayed 8 inches of insulation back into my attic. The cost was $ 9,902.00 of which I had to pull out of my 401k to pay for. However it took forever for them to come back and place the last two of my outside vent covers, under my house, due to different reasons. Now that all is complete concerning the mice, I am having to purchase the old fashioned traps and catch them inside my house. I have seen at least 4 since this was done about 4-6 months ago..

    I guess what I am trying to say is there are a lot of natural ways I should have tried first before paying out that kind of money to a professional company and still having the mice issue in the attic.. smh... I am still using them because anything I need from them after this should be free but it is not... Just be certain to consider all options before financing or paying out this kind of money..

Then for the follow up service I was told I would get 3 days notice - to my surprise I got less than 24 hours notice. I called to move the appointment (as we were going to be at work) and they told me the can't change it the same day. She didn't believe me that I didn't receive a 3 day notice.

    Finally got my service scheduled for Saturday when we'd be home - only to have the tech cancel 1 hour before the appointment and reschedule for yet another day I wasn't going to be home - so, I called to cancel my service - and received a message with a rescheduled date. It seems to me that Orkin likes to schedule appointments inconveniently so the homeowner isn't home, they come and do minimal service on the exterior and charge for the full service. I never even signed up for outside service as my issues is inside, and treating outside will do absolutely nothing.

Within an hour ANDREW had called, he was very friendly and assured me it would be taken care of! Sure enough, he called someone and before I could get home from work they had the issue addressed!

    I’ll get straight to the point. First of all, I stated 2-3 times while booking my quote appointment that our roof had no attic, and we wanted a good look at it for pests. We wanted the inspector prepared, maybe with a camera on a stick, or this would be useless. The lady on the call (name omitted for privacy), said satisfaction was guaranteed.

    The inspector was an hour late. I called Orkin to inquire 20 minutes in and no one picked up (it was a weekend). I did double-check to see there was no time zone difference. The inspector (no apology for lateness) basically tried to put it all on us. I asked probably 7-8 times, “What can Orkin do?” And the question was evaded each time, usually by refusing to look up from her phone (I understand she was forming the report, but the occasional pause to address a question is common courtesy, no?).

    Finally she gave an option, which she didn't want to do and made it appear like an ineffective and silly option with her tone: The squirrels would die (implying no decent person would do this), you’d be paying an undetermined amount just for pest control to check traps each day for who knows how long, etc. She said they also wouldn’t seal up pest entry points. I asked her if she'd climb up to the opening at the front of the house (where we saw pests entering) and she said they can’t go over 15 feet, nor was her ladder long enough. I measured to the top of the entrance, and our roof isn't even 15 feet high. She had expressed her fear of heights to me earlier (then get a different job).

    She said we could use a light to try to look into a hole in our ceiling, but hers was dead. I’m left wondering why they came if they basically won’t do anything. I’ve now contacted them 3 times, 2 via review systems (on their own). The third time I called them and was assured I’d receive a call back from the branch manager within a week. 2 weeks later and I’m here warning you to stay away. I find the lack of care from them adds to the insult of the experience. Not a word beyond the answer to my call and promise of answers that aren’t coming.

    Orkin was used to get rid of a large in ground yellow jacket nest that was right next to our sidewalk in a flower bed. We discovered it after numerous stings. I thought Orkin would have removed it. No, they sprayed and put down powder and stated 2-3 days for them to die. A week and a half later and several more stings, they were alive and kicking! I called Orkin two times over several days and no call back. I ended up spraying it myself and using a hoe to pull up ground. I'd spray when I saw more coming out and repeat the process digging down through the nest. I took care of it in 15 minutes. I eventually connected with Orkin and they refunded $100 of $300 service fee. I will not use Orkin again.

    Called Orkin yesterday (Monday Oct. 7th 2024) to get them scheduled to come to my house for a pest control issue. Explained my whole situation to Maryann. Got to the part of providing my address and my address wasn't showing as an address they service. I explained to them that my zip code recently changed so that was probably the issue. We are in a very popular area in Arizona so there should be service. Maryann said she was going to have someone from the office call me to see if they could override the system. Nobody called. I called back and got someone named Dimitri, who I had to explain everything to all over again. He wasn't able to transfer me to Maryann. We got disconnected and I had to call back a third time and got someone named Tommy. He wasn't any help either and I finally just told him never mind and that I would just call a different company.

He provided exceptional service. Very neat, very polite, a positive personality, extremely respectful, highly knowledgeable, and kept at my roof until every last bee/hornet/wasp died.

    I have an early Japanese Beetle infestation in my planter box and requested an evaluation for this specific problem. The young Orkin representative who did the in-person evaluation had a condescending attitude, masking an utter lack of knowledge regarding Japanese Beetles. The only suggestion was to "buy oil" or remove affected plants. He stated that "any treatment that would kill the adult beetles would also kill the plants". He was unable to answer any questions regarding management of eggs and larvae. No treatment was provided.

    We have a long-term contract for seasonal service. We were underwhelmed with their service all along but this was the cherry on the cake. I am in the process of canceling Orkin services, which appears to be a tedious process: it cannot be done online; sent online and phone messages, waiting for a call back.

    We hired Orkin to come repair openings in our attic and remove dead birds that had gotten in. Orkin workers came, went into attic, then came back down and had me sign and pay for the removal and closing of access points. That evening, we went up to attic and could see outside our home- workers did not seal any access points that we paid and signed off on. I believe they thought they could get away with it since it can only be accessed by ladder/thought we wouldn’t check their work.

    We called and they came back to do what they were paid to do in the first place. Their excuse was they “didn’t understand” what they were being asked to do. If this were the case, they should have asked us for clarification. Not sure how “closing off access points” leaves room for confusion to not touch any of the access points. Although they did come and fix their work, the fact that they didn’t do their job to begin with and think they could get away with not doing a $1,250 job is pretty disgusting.

    I feel compelled to write this review because there is no way this company is 4.7/5 star.. I bought my first home last year and noticed some decent size ants dead on my window sills in one room. I thought I’d call Orkin to take a look. A nice guy came and informed me that these were carpenter ants and that they are only covered under premium service.. He searched the entire garden, saying it would be treated and after explaining the danger of having carpenter ants in the home, I signed up.

    First service: Exterminator comes and firstly says that there is no way they are carpenter ants.. Does the bare minimum as in I had to point at where I saw ants and they were the ONLY areas inside treated.. The perimeter was the only thing that was sprayed so the sales pitch was a lie. The lady also encouraged that I plan a follow up in two weeks because “you’re paying for the subscription”. Call to Orkin: After first treatment I was shocked because I was paying $150 for a “premium service” which I apparently didn’t need. I rang to inform them how it was sold to me and they just said “We have a single plan.. No premium plan.”

    Second Treatment: The same lady came for the second treatment. She didn’t remember being at my house (which look I understand isn’t a big deal as many clients) but when I informed her that she had been, she told me I was wrong rather passionately.. anyway same poor service as with the first treatment..

    As time progressed I continued to see MORE ants in my home. I understand that as it gets hotter there is an increase in activity but this was a joke. By the 4th treatment I had enough of them coming and just treating spots that I pointed out with ZERO investigation on their side.. Don’t get me wrong, the areas treated are ant free for approx a month.. They claimed that they put down industrial standard baits that we can’t buy.. when I looked at the report and took the name of the product (Advion), you can get 4 tubes for $30 on Amazon.. (They were using one each service of my home.)

    Conclusion: After the 7 contracted treatments were up, I immediately cancelled and think instead of paying these guys $150 per treatment I will buy the Advion off of Amazon and go with a DIY service such as Pestie because it would yield a better result than dealing with their incompetence. One positive: The last guy they sent Adrian was great. I mean it was the same situation as before in terms of the product being used but he at least used his intuition, didn’t complete treatment in 5 minutes and was compassionate about the problem I was facing.

    We hired Orkin for mice removal.  The relationship started out great whereby the Orkin team was very responsive, addressed all our questions, and provided us assurances that they would provide a world class service. However, within a month, things went downhill very quickly.  We realized that: 1) Orkin is very overpriced with their outside mouse bait traps. They charged us $150 for six traps and you could buy the same six traps for less than $30 elsewhere; 2) They did not provide as comprehensive a service as they had committed to whereby they missed a lot of key areas within our home to fill in holes where the mice were entering (closets, under the sink; behind the refrigerator). We had to request they come back to finish the job; 3) Communication was lacking where they misunderstood specific instructions we had provided.

    4) We granted the Orkin team access to our home without our presence, and notified the Orkin team where we would keep the house keys in an outside hidden location. When we returned to our home for the weekend, the house keys were stolen along with household meaningful items. If we were burglarized, there are much more valuable items in our home that would be more appealing to steal rather than household items. We have reason to believe that possibly someone from the Orkin team committed petty thievery and stole these items from our home that they believed would not be missed. Whilst we have no proof of this, there is no other explanation for how these items went missing.

    We sent an email to the Branch Manager of the Pittsfield, MA office and asked for a reasonable credit to replace the items stolen. She 1) first blamed the theft on our plumber who we’ve used for decades and is a dear family friend; 2) showed absolutely no empathy; 3) cancelled our contract; and 4) would not offer any type of compensation as a good faith measure. We fully understand that Orkin will not accept liability due to opening itself to a potential lawsuit, however the way we were treated was shameful.  This is not how one would expect to be treated by a so-called “world class” organization. Therefore, we would not recommend using Orkin.

    We received an invoice this week which stated we had an outstanding balance of $36.99. I called and the gal at Orkin stated that even though we cancelled the service, we were still liable for the full cost of a treatment, which they said that was on a "payment plan".

    My review is concerning a very upsetting experience with Orkin in Florida, Broward County branch. I had a Norway Rat enter my uncle's home who's handicapped and immuno compromised this easter. Hence once I caught a glimpse of this rat I knew I had to get rid out of it as soon as possible for the impact it could have on my uncle's deteriorating health. Of course, I put glue traps all over the corners along with some a cages and some bait. Rat did land on one of the glue traps but since it was stronger and heavier than other rats it got out of the glue trap and left a big chunk of its fur on it. This rat was showing up all over the place on top of the kitchen stove, counters, under the stove, under the fridge, and leaving droppings all over the place. WE of course have to clean these droppings as to keep a sanitized environment 24/7 for my uncle who is elderly and sick.

    I called Orkin and explained the situation and they charged 260 for a rodent pest control treatment. They laid 2 glue traps (I don't know why since they won't hold a Norway Rat) and 2 snap traps in a big house, just 2 and without proper bait. I tried to be patient with them since my mom and aunt have called Orkin numerous times in the past and they have helped with bug issues.

    Fast forward still in April one or 2 weeks and the rat keeps leaving drops, making holes inside the kitchen cabinets and just pretty much building its nest without landing on these 4 traps. I called them again and their manager arrived in the premises to assess the situation and stated we had to be patient and not clean the rat droppings and touch the traps as it will keep evading them. They stated they were going to come with special traps later on but never did. I called the manager and informed him of a foul smell and that I thought the rat was dead but I wasn't sure. Manager said what do you want me to do. I told him I don't know and that I will wait.

    When I moved the fridge where the foul smell was coming it wasn't a dead rat in which I was hoping to find and finally be free of this issue. But A TON OF DISGUSTING RAT URINE AND DROPPINGS CAUSING DISGUSTING ODOR. We could not keep ignoring to not clean the droppings as the smell was too much to bear. We clean underneath the fridge and sanitized the house and the smell left. Unfortunately we have to clean almost everyday these droppings because the rat has not landed on the trap and in living in the house. I called Orkin to tell them I wanted to cancel services since they are UNNEFECTIVE. I canceled them at the end of April beginning of May.

    It's May 16, 2024 and no refund has been issued. Orkin states 30 day money back guarantee but it's a lie. It's a scam. I have called to request for a refund but I keep getting told it's up the manager to issue this. Manager called me once and left a voicemail while I was at work and I called him back and left a voicemail on my day off. It should not be a hassle to Orkin provide you your money back according to the rules of their policy if you are not satisfied money back guarantee in the period of 30 days. But it seems they do not honor their policy and want us customers to beg and call them nonstop to get our money back when we are not satisfied because of services not being effective. I am still trying to get my money back and will not give up since this should not happen to other customers in the area. It's not right and dishonest.

    Terrible customer service all around. I purchased a home where the seller was able to choose the company for bat removal/prevention and the removal/replacement of insulation affected by bat guano. They were late to the job on multiple occasions, no-call/no showed once without rescheduling and seemed overall very unprofessional.

    There were little to no updates along the entire process which took over 2 weeks to complete and were completely unaware we had live bats in the attic when they went to start the work which further delayed the process. I would highly recommend getting an estimate from them to use as a negotiation tactic with another company for any work you intend on doing or need done. I can't understate how frustrating this entire process was.. time is money and both are very valuable to me, they didn't even care to apologize for abusing my time and seemed completely aloof to showing up late and or their lack of professionalism. I'm hoping everything was taken care of properly... hoping being the keyword.

    Orkin - Please read before contracting with them. Learn from my mistake! Orkin made me sign a contract a-priori. When the Orkin exterminator came for the first time after I signed the contract, he only took a five minutes tour of the premises and promptly declared: " I will be back in two weeks to do the treatment (against mice and roaches), which Orkin AND the exterminator were told by me beforehand, including on the day he came, a couple of hours before he came. Now, how difficult it is to set a few mice traps and spray for roaches. What kind of complicated preparation he needed in order to prepare for the treatment?

    Besides, I told him to treat the attic (which is completely empty), and he did not bother to go up to the attic. Two weeks later he returned, did some treatment, wrote a whole list of treatments (some of which were not done or done partially), and left. Again, no attic. After I complained to Orkin, the exterminator came back (two weeks later) and took a perfunctory look at the attic, but did not do any treatment. Said he "will be back in two weeks" to do the treatment. This looks like the standard answer.

    Actually, now I wish I would've looked at the very bad reviews Orkin has before I contracted them. Besides, I tried to talk to the exterminator's manager at the Sykesville office, I was told (on Thursday) by the secretary that he was not in the office and that he will call me back on Monday. Today is Thursday, and no callback yet, even though I called several times. I guess my mistake was not asking "Monday of which year"?

    I moved into a rental property that had German roaches. I hired Orkin to get rid of them earlier last year (2023). I kept the service for about eight or nine months. (The first month I was charged double and never reimbursed, I gave them cash and they also charged my card.) I had hoped to see an improvement or resolution to the problem. I never did. I called to cancel and was directed towards the branch manager for my area, he assured me there would be no charge until the problem was resolved and then hopefully I would keep my service with them. Which I absolutely would have. But the problem was not resolved.

    Not only was it not resolved, they text me at least once a week or more since then wanting more payment. For the last two times they came after I tried to cancel. I told her I felt like I was taken advantage of, she informed me that there was nothing she could do about it, it was just her job to collect payment. No one ever helped me. No one made sure the problem was resolved. I'm not sure how much it costs to get rid of German roaches in a 3/2 mobile home. But it is more than $1000. In case anyone is wondering. And btw. I STILL have them.

    We have lots of services from Orkin and the most recent one would have been our regular pest control. We have a regular scheduled service every other month and the techs come out. They check the bait boxes, clear anything out and clean. The other service we have is for our bait that goes up in the attic for the bats and anything that we have with that. Usually, it's John who comes and he usually calls us ahead of time and lets us know he will be out. He does his job and then he leaves. He's very friendly. He's very amiable and can give us information if we're looking for anything more that we didn't know that he is very familiar with because that's his job. So he gives us any tips that we ask anything more about.

    We're pleased with Orkin’s services. We called them when we had a dead rat that we did not know. We notified them that their bait boxes were working and that whatever they were doing, they were doing it right. And we're pleased that we didn't have to do anything. We had them come with all these little moths that are breeding in the grass. But that's normal and not anything Orkin can control. They spray for the ants because that's part of the contract.

    Stay away from Orkin especially when they offered financing to you for services. The system is made to rob customers from their money. For example if a payment falls on the weekend; and you don't know they don't operate on the weekend you get screw right away. They don't work on weekends, neither they have an automated system for you to be able to do that. Therefore even if it's not your fault that the payment fell on the weekend and you didn't know they don't operate on weekends they'll still charge you the 60$ fee for late payments. Remember you have nothing to do with the fact that the payment fell on weekend and you didn't know they don't operate on weekends and don't have an automated system so you can actually pay without having to speak with someone personally. The website doesn't work either when you try to pay online. It's like rocket science. No lie. They make difficult for you to even pay online.

    You would think with all the billions they have they would try to establish a different system that actually help the people pay their bill in on time and without a hassle. Even if it's not your fault they'll still charge you that 60$ fee without any remorse. They have no loyalty for customers whatsoever and all they care is about money, this is a money hungry company and it shows and I'm speaking based on experience. Some of the customer service are rude and would argue with you too. Oh another thing I was sold on a roof tent to termite without needing it, they found termites at one of the rooms and based on that told me I needed a 3800$ job which I fell for. The tech told me I wouldn't see termites in the house guaranteed like for the next 5yrs which is a lie too. I then found out tech guy was doing that on a regular to every other customer and got fired.

    Dealing with this company the past year has been the worse. I decided not to renew my contact and I'll make sure I'll tell people about my experience. If I could give them a zero rating based on my experience I would. No customers loyalty or empathy at all. They only care about selling you things you really don't need and their bank accounts been full as if they already don't have billions already. I would not recommend this company to anyone and I work with many people since I'm in the real estate business. So they lost a good client and referral system with me.

We didn't see any ants for quite a while then we started seeing one or two, but it was time for them to come out and spray again. The rep, Steve, calls and asks if it's okay to come on a given date. Getting in contact with Orkin is the easiest stuff. A person picks right up. Every couple of months the ants start coming back out, but it's nothing like it used to be.

But she went on and on till I said okay. I said it would be month to month. If it works out, great. If it doesn't, he's gonna have to go. He moved in on a Saturday and Sunday, and I started seeing roaches. When I first moved in, I had the house tented 18 years ago. And about 10 years after that, I had the house tented just because the neighborhood was starting to decline. I started seeing roaches in the yard so I had it sprayed. The tent on the house keeps them at bay. I don't have any food lying around. I'm very careful and I don't eat in the bedroom. As soon as I eat, I wash the plate or if I can, I'll eat on a paper plate and throw it out in a public bag and I tie a knot in it. I went through extracurricular activities to keep them out till this guy moved in.

    Every once in a blue moon there'll be a neighbor whose filth will carry over but they don't usually stay very long and that's good. So, I gave the guy the benefit of the doubt. But on Monday, I got up in the morning and there was one on the counter in the kitchen when I went to make my coffee. Then, there was one in the pantry and one on the front door on the threshold trying to get out. I started calling frantically and everybody wanted a 12-month contract. There was no way around it. Then, I got Orkin and they were willing to work with me on the timing and the contracts. I thought they were giving me quarterly but it turned out to be monthly. I said I don't remember signing up for the monthly and then I looked at the contract, and it was a quarterly. So, they modified it.

    Garnett, the tech from Orkin, comes to the house and does his job. He’s wonderful. If they could keep him, they should because it's partially because of him and his service and graciousness that I keep coming back. He goes above and beyond and covers all the bases. I love that. And after he leaves, I don't see anything. When I first started the program, Orkin was sending me bills for a lady in Fort Lauderdale and charging my card for her. And I forwarded them to their Accounting Department. I don’t even know who the lady is and we don't have the same address so I told Orkin to stop sending me her bills. That was an issue and I cancelled Orkin. But I rescheduled because of Garnett. He was so good.

    Orkin is not terrible but they could be better. Their accounting department needs a revamp. I have not had a problem with the customer service and they answer the phone after a couple of tries. I have recommended Orkin. I've tried them all and they are the best. It's not easy to get the people that you can rely on, who know what they're doing, care about their job and have integrity in their work.

There's time for me to get back if I need to. Also, they always look professional, even in the summer.

    Another thing is when they do come out and do the home visit, I like that I don't have to tell them what to do. They already know their protocol and their procedures. They come out and they remove any webbing from anything that may have spiders or things of that nature and they always point out areas that might need extra attention. They also ask which areas they should not be in or if it's okay to spray in an area. If I leave something unattended or if I leave something that might have a little bit of water in it because of the rain and things like that, they let me know. Things like that that help me as a homeowner in a residential area feel a little bit more proactive when it comes to mosquitoes and insects even creating more of a nuisance in my house.

    My sister had used Orkin and said that within the first month, she saw a huge difference. The pests were gone in two months and Orkin was just doing maintenance now. I got the quote and the first visit was a little bit more expensive than K & B Pest Control. It was $50 more but Orkin did more on their first visit. They listened to me and put appropriate traps so I saw a difference. The monthly fee was the same, within a couple of dollars. Orkin usually schedules in for me and I don't have to do anything unless I need a touch-up in between so it's nice. The payments due come out of my account automatically and then they text me and say I have a service scheduled for so and so at this time. If it doesn't work, I can call in and they'll fix it for me.

    I was sent a text message a few days before the tech showed up to tell me what time to expect them and he came within that time frame. He asked me if I had any issues and where I've been seeing any problems. He double-checked those areas and his bait traps to make sure there was bait. He talked to me about what I should see in the future and told me to give them a call if I had any issues in between and they'd be absolutely happy to come back. Underneath my kitchen sink, there was a hole where pests had come in over on the left-hand side of my living area and we made sure we put a trap in those areas since they were high-activity areas. I was paying another service for three months and hadn't seen a difference but within two visits, Orkin had it almost completely under control.

    Our contract started fine. We learned a lot and the crew was on time. Near the end of the contract, we had to cancel two times as I have Parkinson's Disease and on those two days I had significant worsening episodes. As Orkin is available to take calls late, and I called to cancel around 7:00 pm, Orkin came both times and billed us in full. When I called to ask why, she spoke with someone who told her that because I called too late, I would not get a refund. I have never seen this in their paperwork, the person I cancelled with never mentioned this and their motto is they're not happy if I'm not happy. I have no control over my Parkinson's ups and downs, but they are uncaring about my disability.

    I heard a rat scratching under the house on Thursday, called Orkin and they came out Friday. They checked and sealed our house and set traps. The next morning I went out and found a big hole were the rat could easily come and go. Fixed it myself, took pictures and set them to the email on my bill. No good. Guy came the next week. Rat still there, no comment on the hole on email or with service person. Re cked and waited two weeks. Still rat no progress, this went on for a month. Found and repaired other holes. No progress after over a month with no progress and still had rat. Talked with Manager about my dissatisfaction with their services and wanted a refund, they refunded all our money but after over a month I still had my problem with no progress.

    Michael of Orkin is the best technician we have ever had, and it is because of his professionalism we have stayed with the firm for so many years. However, recently, Orkin has embarked on a policy of double billing customers and trying to bill months before the service is rendered. To wit, I paid my Orkin bill via check the moment I received it in February. Yet, last week (in March), I got another bill saying the payment was still due. And, this week, I received yet another bill saying, not only was the paid premium still due, but now they were billing me for April service, and it is only March. This is scamming the customer and is a dishonest business practice!

They came very quickly the day we called and everything was taken care of with no additional charge! Their technicians know what they are doing, and are available for questions.

    My experience with Orkin has been terrible for the following reasons:

    1.) When setting up my first appointment I was told that I would get special pricing for the 1st service. Initially the promotional pricing was not applied to my account and I had to call to fix and credit my account.

    2.) I had a appointment scheduled and no one came out to my home. A couple weeks later a technician came out and I was not home. There was no communication that the appointment was being reschedule and I received a text message saying he only sprayed the exterior of my home since no one was there. I called a branch manager and told him about the situation. He agreed to have the technician come back to my home and spray the interior and said he'd credit my account $110 for the next service.

    The technician came out and sprayed the interior; However, the credit was never applied to the next service. I called Orkin and they said the previous branch manager no longer works with the Company and he saw no notes of this ever being mentioned. The new branch manager said he'd talk to billing and have this fixed by the end of day; However, it has been over a week and I was never credited the amount charged. At this point I've requested for Orkin to cancel all future services as I will no longer be using the company.
