I was interested in using Orkin however they demanded to have my credit card information prior to my review of the contract. If the contract has nothing to hide in it, why in the world can't I see it???? So I googled some reviews and they were horrible. Many customers said that the contract has hidden fees and that it was impossible to reach customer service.

I had a fantastic experience with Orkin Pest Control! We recently discovered a few unwelcome guests in our home, and after calling Orkin, the entire process was smooth from start to finish. The technician arrived on time, was very professional, and took the time to explain the treatment plan in detail. The service was efficient, and they made sure to address every concern I had, from the types of pests to the safety of my pets and family. They also offered tips for keeping the pests away in the future, which I really appreciated. Since the treatment, we haven’t had any issues, and I feel so much more at ease knowing Orkin has taken care of the problem. Their customer support has also been top-notch throughout the entire experience. I highly recommend Orkin for anyone dealing with pest issues—they really know their stuff!

Be careful with what the sales representative quoted on you. They will misquoted you, bait and switched , they also denied what should be included in the agreement. That’s really unprofessional. I won’t recommend this company to do your pest control job.

Originally hired Orkin (Parma office) to get rid of mice at our house. The problem wasn’t resolved and they didn’t follow up after reaching out to customer service. However they pushed for unnecessary services, like mosquito control in backyard, and charged additional $350($600 total). Several times we were out of town and Orkin would not reschedule the service and still charge us without actually performing the service. Multiple phone calls to get a hold of the branch manager and they still put their fraudulent charges in collections Worst company ever, would not recommend!

I am writing this review because talking to the local representative got me nowhere. My wife filmed the Orkin man illegally dumping his trash in to our dumpster (see photos) and no I am not a customer. Needless to say I was absolutely disgusted with what I saw. I called and gave them the opportunity to make it right by either removing said trash, dead mice, rubber gloves, mouse traps, pesticide cans or pay to dump the contents neither of which were done. Which is kind of disappointing because their catch phrase is we’re not happy till you’re happy. Like I said see the photos.

Hello everyone. I am from Soperton, Ga and ORKIN has been great help. Eric has been fantastic in what he does each time he come over to help. He’s kind, helpful, respectful, and he explain everything about the treatment/plans in great detail — he always on time and I am very satisfied with the services every visit. I would recommend this great company to anyone who need pest control help. Thank you Eric and ORKIN for the fine work you do!!!!

I have been using Orkin's pest control and rodent program for a little over 2 years now. I have been very pleased with the level of service and professionalism that Thomas, our technician, has provided. He is diligent in sending texts prior to each and every visit informing us of his ETA. Not only is he very professional but also very thorough, dependable, and extremely knowledgeable. He is truly an asset to Orkin and represents the company well. Keep up the great work Thomas! 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. I cannot recommend this company enough. I am extremely pleased and will continue to use them for all my pest control needs!

Orkin's service was adequate until the start of the new year. Without any notice, written or otherwise, the technician we had and trusted for years was replaced. The latest technician did not keep the scheduled appointments and made appointments with us without notifying his office. We thought we had an appointment but he never came. We called the office but they did not have an appointment listed. We wrote the Branch Manager on January 8th about this matter but he has not responded. We believe this is not professional. We feel that we are not important to Orkin although we are paying our monthly premium.

I am currently online and even their AI keeps you on hold. I am also on cell with local office. After much wasted time trying to cancel my contract AI said can't help have to call another number.

We began services with Orkin 8 years ago and until few past years, were satisfied with them. We had some tecnicians who were thorough, knowledgeable, and professional, and others who did just the bare minimum. The past few years have been less than stellar. We were billed for services we never received. We have a Ring doorbell and could tell no one was servicing the outside. They did reverse the charges on this one. This past year, our technician showed up smelling of marijuana. We know it is legal, but the smell in our house was present, long after the technician was gone. Then, our technician stole from us to the tune of $300+. We have proof of this. When I called the company, there was no apology or acknowledgement. They even charged us for the visit. We no longer have Orkin. Had they just been transparent and apologized-this review would have been different as we had been happy with their services.

We called the Orkin Pest control for the flea treatment with one time service on 4/9/2024. They charged on my card $349. We also did call them back for the lousy treatment after the resident complained it. However, they kept charging us every month, $119 on 5/30/2024, $119 on 7/22/2024, $150 on 8/33/2024, and 9/6/2024 on my old credit card 4094 5100 0135 7497. We contacted the Orkin Company and wanted to cancel the service on 11/24. They told me I had signed the contract agreement, which was obviously wrong since I never signed any agreement before. I asked to send me a copy. They sent me one fake agreement with forged signature. I asked them who signed it and who created this agreement. Then they said the tenant did it.
I called the tenant but no one created this agreement and signed it. Also my tenant complained they never came back to the pest control treatment. We also filed a dispute on my credit card payment. The bank reversed the payments at the beginning but later, without any reason, they reversed back. Now they kept charging us another $238 on 1/7/2025.

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. I am confident in their work, and my house is no longer crawling with insects. My cats and I have not experienced any ill effects.

Orkin did a good job investigating for bedbugs. They were courteous and understanding. Told me what to do to get rid of them. Gave me a quote for spraying. Told me how to treat my clothes that was in my dresser.

Terrible company. I've had them out 6 times over the last 3 months for bed bugs. A supervisor came out and said they were gone. I found more. Called again and they sprayed again. Two weeks later, more bugs. service manager will not return phone calls. $1800.00 later and still bugs. Highly do not recommend!

I have had Orkin for a while. Once a year I have them go up in my attic and spray a bit and leave some sticky traps for Florida roaches! They went up this year sprayed a bit but no traps. A few days later I had large ants in my garage and still wanted sticky traps in my attic. I called twice because I pay for revisiting my house btw paid visits. No response. Ryan the manager of the FL Ocala store never called back when I canceled them coming today. I called, texted the tech for him to get a hold of me. No response! They broke my paid agreement and customer service seems to be a low priority for this office! With so many companies to choose from, I would shy away from Orkin based out of Ocala. They are under dependable and don’t care about their customers. They never returned calls..

Orkin customer service is atrocious. I’ve been calling for a month, have left six messages and have not heard back. They sprayed in September and told us that if the pests came back within 60 days they would respect. We were reinfected less than 2 weeks later and they have not returned any calls to come and respray.

Hello customer service. Started off great, on time but I guess that how they get you. Per their policy service can only be done with payment first, no problem. Now last tech comes, doesn't do his part and now wanna send me collection, haven't got my service per what they promised. I would run or make sure you get recording of their policy and in writing. Look elsewhere if I were you.

(is what they called it) in my attic. 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.. We will see how they do on the pest control of which I am using them for this time.. My parents used Orkin when I was a little girl and they drilled holes around the outside of our house and put something in them and we never had a bug again. Now they just spray and bait for pest.. I can not say anything more than, consider ALL of your options because I am still having a mice issue.. Thank you and have a blessed day!
I have not been a satisfied or happy customer concerning the mice. It hurt me on my retirement to pull out that kind of money especially when I felt like I was doing the right thing hiring a professional company.. Hopefully they will continue to help with the mice issue.. Also pray before you pay this amount out to a professional company.. God bless you and have a blessed day.. I did send picture to their mice guy of a mouse in a trap we got this morning and we also got one last week... We continue to hear them nightly...

After we meet with a wonderful salesman from the company who gave us a bunch of free stuff and he could have sold us the moon. We have had a terrible experience with the actual company. Many, Many empty promises. When we had a hornet problem they made many promises to come address the issue. When we could not leave our house because it got so bad and hundreds of hornets has taken over both front and back porches. They never returned a phone call. We had already gotten off on a bad foot when the promised services and never delivered but were happy to take our money. It was not until I called every day asking to speak to the owner that they finally issued a refund (1 month later). I would not trust anything they say. STAY AWAY!!!!!! Reporting to BBB. NEVER AGAIN.

No call, no show. Trashy company that is just out here to get your money and then there's no guarantee. On two occasions, I have had a tech not show up and there was no communication received from Orkin that the appointment would need to be rescheduled, etc... After leaving a bad review and placing multiple calls on top of emails, the branch manager finally reached out saying that he would get someone to come out to do the treatment. Fine... I had to schedule a second treatment, and same scenario - except no one was able to come out on the scheduled date of the follow-up treatment. Use another company!

I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone. I canceled service after hubs went on leave from work due to disability we had no income coming in and I called letting them know. Multiple times they came to my home and repeatedly I told them I canceled service until further notice. I find out then that we had a past due balance due to them coming out I didn't receive service but they had charged me. Also I was double charged twice one month which resulted in an overdraft fee I then had to cancel my card and get a new one. Just so many headaches. Oh they also send people to your house to collect money which is against the law and is harassment. Next time I will just call the police and charge them with trespassing and harassment my next stop is a lawyer.

Very disappointed. I currently am dealing with a roach infestation. I live in a town home - so they are traveling between houses. During the first visit the tech sprayed some poison by the fridge and placed 1 glue trap and 1 disc. His report and invoice stated a whole lot more than what he actually did. 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.

We were having a terrible issue. I went online, emailed the company at 6 am by 8:30, someone had contacted me to let me know the local office would reach out to me ASAP. 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 really don't know what we would have done without this company. Professional, reliable, punctual. If I could give 10 stars I would.

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. Horrible customer service. Glad I figured this out now and didn't use them.

I had a massive bee, wasp, hornet invasion on my roof of a 3400 sq ft house. I tried to resolve it myself, by purchasing every known bee/killer spray available at various stores and all it did was make the problem a million times worse. So I called every exterminator company within 50 miles that shows online as open 24/7 and handles emergency bee removal, no one would either answer the phone or come out.
After spending 2 days on the phone, I called Orkin, out of Georgia. They booked me immediately and the super bee manager of the world Dave out of Wilmington MA showed up within the hour. 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. He told me to check back in 24 hours. I did and not one single bee/hornet/wasp could be found anywhere. Dave will be my first call if I ever have another invasion anywhere on my properties.

This is the worst experience of my life! I called Orkin because most of my friends use them and always had good things to say. They gave me this big pitch about how they were going to take care of me and my home. The guy came and sprayed around the outside of my house. (It was supposed to get rid of ants and spiders and he set three mice traps. Didn’t spray under or inside my. He just around the outside, didn’t spray for mosquitoes.) He said he would be back in two weeks to spray yard and check traps for mice. What a joke! He never came back. I called the office four times and apparently business is good because NO ONE had the time to call me back and the 60 day guarantee “yeah right”. They charged me $ 289 for first visit (and by the way, I still have ants and spiders) and $73 a month after that. Not worth it. This Orkin is a joke and you have to put up a battle to get your money back.

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. I ended up educating myself on this topic and purchasing several biologic treatments, along with pesticide and neem oil. They may not fully work, but at least I'm trying!

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. Won’t recommend Orkin to anyone we care about.

Orkin calls me back says that the guy that was supposed to spray put his notice in last week or 5 days ago. Told me they don't even know what the estimate were, They proceeded to tell me that someone is going to come over today and spray for the bed bugs. Did not give me a time frame so I'm stuck at my house waiting, waiting, waiting and waiting. 3 hours past the appointment time still no one here. Would not recommend this company. Go through somebody else that is more reliable and professional. This is the worst experience I've ever had with a pest control company!

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.

They did fix an issue with critters in the attic, but their regular bi-monthly service is lacking. I had an issue with some bugs I was seeing and called them to come back to take care of it in between my every other month service. They said they couldn't come back out for 10 days and then the afternoon of the day they were finally supposed to come they called and said they can't come and won't be able to for 3 more days. So now I'm waiting 2 full weeks from when I called for a service I am already paying for for them to come!!!! Very Very disappointing.

Now they’re telling me that the only way to get rid of the squirrels is to have them trapped and they don’t perform trapping services. The squirrels are destroying my daughter’s house and now Orkin tells me they don’t trap animals. I will never ever deal with them again. They’re really good at squeezing money out of their customers for periodic spraying services. I canceled that service because I don’t trust them! Don’t deal with them!

After reviewing the service and the results, my wife and I decided to cancel as it really was not in our budget, and we were able to get the "drain flies" under control using methods procured off of the internet.
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". None of this was ever discussed and even though they claim that this is on the up and up, I feel that they are just extorting money from consumers through their unorthodox billing practices.

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.

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.

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"?

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.

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.

Orkin’s techs came out for my regular service within the last three weeks. I’ve been with them for over 30 years. They try to get a technician that I can become familiar with and they become familiar with me and my home. But somehow or another that doesn't seem to be the going trend now. Lately, I've been getting a different person from one quarter to the next. I get a quarterly service so within a three-month period, sometimes that person will come back and sometimes he may not. I wish there could be more stability in their service technicians. I had a bee problem and I didn’t call Orkin but I should have. But they will come out if I call them on a special occasion besides my quarterly service. They are effective, efficient and timely.

Orkin comes out quarterly and they have been perfect. The last time that the tech, Dustin, came, he checked the whole house. I had new windows installed and he looked at them. It turned out that there was some dust down at the bottom and that they needed to come out and put the new windows in. I never would have noticed. He was very observant. When it's time for my service, Orkin would call and schedule it. And if I had any changes or couldn't make it, then we'd work that out. They're very accommodating and always on time. They're always pleasant and they got integrity. They're reliable, honest, and precise. They're professional and they don't miss anything. They keep me bug-free and if I ever have a problem, occasionally I've had ants or a roach here and there or mice, they just keep me up-to-date. There's also a mosquito treatment and that is wonderful. I would never use anybody else.

It's a good experience because I'm able to ask Orkin Pest Control questions and get clarity about bugs and different things I see. I like my technician. He listens. He helps me understand what's going on. That's important to me because I'm paying $60 a month. I pay for service and I need to know what's happening. When he comes out, I can watch and see what he's doing. I know he's doing the work. It's good to have a technician that knows what they're talking about and knows what they're doing, and I have that.

Our tech, Lee, is a great guy and I hope he continues on as our tech. He seems very thorough as he walks around, spraying and treating. He's easy to talk to and very responsive to anything I bring up. He takes care of it and climbs up on a 10 foot ladder to get into our garage attic. He doesn't bat an eye, complain about it, or anything like that. He always makes sure the glue traps are in the right place and he concentrates them in the area where he finds the most droppings. It all makes sense when I read the documents that are sent and I look it over and it always matches up with what I see him doing. We seem to be on the tail end of the mouse trouble. Also, we get a heads-up on what day they'll be here and if I really need to be here to speak with them over something, I make a point to reschedule and it's very easy to do that. If you have issues, you should definitely give Orkin a try.

I've been with Orkin for a good 8 years and I’m very pleased with their service. They're a good product and the techs come when you call. They come out every three months and do the perimeter and the inside. If anything arises, like a bee infestation, building a nest, or any kind of bug, they come out and deal with it for me. I don't have to worry. It's included in my quarterly payment. Sometimes, your finances aren't where you thought and they worked with me. They gave me a time-off window and when things improved, I called them back. They started me right up so it was not a problem. When I had to contact Orkin for an issue, their response was immediate. I told them what I thought it was and they checked it out. I had a new patio building and the rodents got under there. They put in a box and told me what to expect. In 30 days or less, they came back, got the box and made sure everything was good.

When I had a situation last year with more bugs coming in, I called Orkin and the techs were out the following morning and resprayed the problem area. Orkin is very good. I read about them on the internet and people's feelings about how they were serviced, and I like that everyone kept saying that they were good service technicians. They were very friendly, efficient, clean and respectful to the property, which was why I used them. In my recent experience with Orkin, the tech was personable and very friendly. He was able to do his job and did it in an efficient amount of time.

One of the things that I appreciate is that I always get a courtesy call before the arrival of the technician. Sometimes, I'm in a rush and I forget things but just getting an email or a text message helps me coordinate for the day. Even if I'm not there, I can have someone at my home. It's flexible. 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.

Needed a perimeter check for entry points for rodents as I have them in my attic. Not only were lies told about how they’re getting in, but a laundry list of exaggerated embellishments were told about what else needs to be done to my attic as well as other parts of my home, none of which have anything to do with rodents but the biggest lie told was the cost. $23,000….I KNEW from the moment that was thrown out there, something wasn’t right. I asked for a detailed breakdown sent to me. 'Cause I wanted to do my own research as well as poll multiple different highly rated companies to check out the same areas.
One of the lies told to me by Orkin was that all my insulation in my attic was black and needed to be completely replaced as it’s a huge hazard. As well as my can lights are a fire hazard. So not only were the pictures that orkin took of my insulation NOT black (not sure if he’s aware that he also sent me the pictures of his lies) but every single company that came to give an estimate said there isn’t much black and even if there was, it’s perfectly normal and expected. They did offer actual reasons why some parts of our attic in our home and above our garage could benefit from blown in insulation (was given two diff estimates from each company as they all said my attic above my garage didn’t need it). Something orkin failed to offer as well as the insane price difference. Oh and my can lights are not a fire hazard, per every other company.
Every estimate from these various companies that have 4.7-5.0 ratings, each company having thousands of reviews. $3,000-$5,200 price tag. Some included a military discount (orkin would never) also was told that orkin provides a payment plan “unlike other companies.” I wanted to laugh at that cause I’ve not come across 1 company that doesn’t offer a payment plan. Not only do these companies provide payment plans. They’re actually interest free for the first 12 months.
When we asked if orkin could just take care of the entry points for rodents, as that’s why we called in the first place, we got push back in the sense that “yeah we could but you REALLY need to take care of these others things” first of all. Don't rush me and tell me what I need to do without doing research 'cause everything that was thrown at us were red flags and we definitely wanted time to look into it. I’ve had orkin for years to do bimonthly pest control but after this experience, I’m canceling. They raised their prices anyways without explanation and when I asked, the excuses made zero sense. They might as well of just said “'cause we wanted to, we want more money from you” 'cause the excuses weren’t adding up. I do not recommend this company. However I do love Nate, he was a great technician and our dog loved him. If he ever goes to a diff company or starts his own. I’d love for him to reach out.

I am comfortable that Orkin service will maintain the "boundary" of insects outside our home and living spaces. He also came out for special treatment of a bee's nest on our patio, in addition to his regular duties.

Calls made were not timely addressed for my son’s home treatment. Spoke with a rep on Feb2 and no service regarding this complaint as of a 2nd call 11days later. Was assured it was to be addressed but no date given. I pay the bill and live in Washington state. My son lives in the Dade City service area. Reviewing the notes with your service rep Chrip sounded to be efficient but follow up wasn’t.

I feel Orkin is a great pest control. I have used them since I moved back home to Maine. It does help a little for the ticks when they spray. Just wish they would spray more into the woods around my property. As this would keep the ticks off my dogs.

We have used Orkin for about 4 years. I do believe that it has helped keep bugs away or kills them so they do not get into the house. The last person to come out did a great job of taking the time to really spread the poisons. A few times they have come out and barely done much. But at least we have not had to purchase different sprays, etc. to kill bugs.

Orkin does a great job! Bugs, mice and squirrels. They replaced all of our insulation and sealed all entry points. Now squirrels can’t get in.

I love Orkin. I recommend them to anyone and everyone that asks. They always let me know when they're coming in advance. They send a week notice, another notice a couple of days out and a text message when they're on their way. If they feel they're gonna run late, they give me a heads up. I have the numbers for my Orkin techs that I've had since living here and my past Orkin tech before moving where I am now. Whether it's just a simple pest control or a big job, they've been nothing but communicative and timely. If I'm not gonna be home, I let them know to feel free to enter. I've been doing that since I moved here. They did a pre-extermination for me before I moved in and I gave them the code.
We had some black widow issues and they got rid of that. There was a fire hazard issue in the attic. They took care of that for me as well. They did a fabulous job. They walked me through the process before we even had it done. They said, "If you have any questions about it, let us know. These are what needs to happen. These are optional." They are very clear and concise. They care about you and your home. They also keep an eye out on my dogs. They would say, "Bring them inside real quick. We're about to spray." They are willing to answer any questions that I have. They understand that not everybody are experts like they are. The folks in the office are great too. Everybody communicates well. I never have to repeat myself. They remind me with each of the bills I get whether email or video mail and I don't bother. I could log in and pay, but I prefer to call them. They tolerate me lovingly. They take any concerns I have seriously and act on them promptly.

I feel comfortable with Orkin Pest Control. I've always had them. There are other people here that get other people come and spray their house and outside, and charge a lot less. But I've been with Orkin for so long that it's like a sin to go with somebody else. In Virginia, Orkin always had the same person come and spray my house. He became a regular, "Hey." We knew who he was and when he was coming. Here in Florida is a different. I've been here for three years and I've had three different people come and spray my house, which doesn't make me feel comfortable with Orkin in Florida.
The pest control outside, when they come and check for the traps that they put outside, would be a 0. We never see them. I know it's every three months that they're supposed to come to visit. But I called Orkin and complained 'cause I had it in my camera where one of the workers just came and looked around. I had him in my camera. I said, "I have him recorded. He didn't do anything. He didn't even at least pull one of the traps and look at it." But inside spraying would have the highest mark. The three people that come would do everything they were supposed to.

Orkin usually comes out about once every other month. Every now and then, I'll have a little scare or a question or some random bug I have no knowledge about. I just recently found out our tech that we've had for the last couple of years no longer works with Orkin, which kind of made me a little sad. We've only had two techs in the entire time we've been with Orkin. So, it's always a little sappy when it's somebody new. You gotta retell the stories of the things you've been through.
We originally signed up with Orkin because we had bed bug issues. They were able to make my world and my three kiddos' world safer for us. It only took like a month. We had to do all the preparation work for a couple weeks. Then they came in for the first initial find, gave us a couple of weeks to get it all together and get everything prepped, and then they came out, heat-treated, and then followed behind with the chemicals.

We moved here from Morgan City. We had an Orkin lady that would come in. We lived close to the water, and every now and then, even though she did a good job, we'd find one of these huge roaches upside down with their antlers moving. When we moved here, we have not seen any kind of insect. My Orkin person is fantastic. Any time we have a little problem, she helps us with it. She's so easy to work with. We have our service every other month. She knows we like it done early in the morning. She's here very early.
We were in Baton Rouge for my husband's convention. We were in a hotel for three days. We woke up the first morning, and both of us had bites on us. We had bed bugs in the hotel. I called my Orkin lady and asked what we should do. She said, "Do not bring your luggage inside the house. I will make a trip and spray all of your luggage." She also told us to take our laundry out, put it directly into the washer and wash it twice and to leave the car outside in the sun on the driveway. She sprayed a little bit around it as well.

We used to have a really big ant problem at my house, which has totally been eliminated. You'll see ants on the perimeter of the house, but there are no ants within the house. Initially, I remember they would spray. You'd still see some ants come back, and I would call them. They said not to put any kind of other chemical down because it would offset what they have done. The tech said, "And then we'll come back and spray again." They said within a week, I wouldn't see any ants in our house, and that was exactly what took place.

Caesar is my technician, and he is very professional and good at what he does. I'm not having any more problems in the past couple of months. It took about four visits before I started to see a big reduction, and I hardly see any cockroaches now. It took about six months to really get it under control. Now, I see one or two occasionally, but evidently, with the chemical they use, the cockroaches stay as babies so they can't reproduce anymore. I'd like Orkin to keep up doing the great job they've been doing. They're always accommodating if I have to miss an appointment, and they reschedule me at my convenience.

We've been using Orkin's services for about two years, and I would recommend them. They're very good. I have an old farmhouse, and the service depends on what my need is, but it's more for catching the field mice that get into the house. They've also handled stinkbugs, ants, flies, and bees for me. They spray inside and outside and put the traps down. One thing I can't stand is the sticky traps that people use. They call them humane, but I don't think it's very humane to watch a little mouse starve to death. The snap trap, done in a second, is more humane to me. Needless to say, I'm fine with whatever the professionals use. Overall, I love Orkin as well as my regular guy who comes, Henry. Even when he has a substitute when he's on vacation, the guy's gone above and beyond for me. They visit every six weeks, and I'm happy with my service.
