Our experience with Orkin representatives has been very good. They are very knowledgeable in their field and respond professionally. For 20 years we had no problems with bugs, suddenly there was a problem and we couldn’t seem to find anything that got rid of them. We’re so glad we called.

I began trying to reach their customer service department to reschedule a treatment because we were out of town. No one called me back but then showed up C and clearly couldn’t get inside. When I called again the person told me I was still being charged because they treated the outside. What!! I explained it’s the middle of winter in Wisconsin and how many bugs would even be a problem. Told them I won't be paying and to cancel my account. Guess what - they billed anyway. Also asked to have a manager call and that never happened. Horrible company!!

I have been a customer of Orkin for a bit over a year now after they bought out my previous provided. As for the actual service provided, I am very pleased. Every service person who has come to my home has always been punctual and very polite. So, I have no problem with the actual service. My problem is on the administrative side of the house. The business practice is to pay at the time of service unless on a yearly pay or auto-pay. I have no issue with this system if it worked, which it doesn't...
My last service was done on Jan 8, 2024, and I paid the tech with a check. On Jan 16, 2024 I get a bill from Orkin stating the amount due with no indication of monies received. I contacted the local office and was told the bill originated from the home office. With the statement that the check was deposited in the local office on Jan 15, 2024! I can accept that. However, in this day and age of so much business being conducted electronically why isn't the payment logged electronically as well? I pay my bills on time and don't appreciate getting a bill showing that I owe money when in fact I don't having paid at time of service.
Then I have to track down my payment to ensure it wasn't lost. Several months back the situation was the tech didn't turn the check in for over 30 days from date of service and Orkin wanted another check from me! I think Orkin needs to take a hard look at their administrative practices before they chase their customers away.

Service is always prompt when we call them and at scheduled intervals. We are assigned the same tech (Patrick) each time and he is efficient and friendly. Had work done in the attic and under the house in the heat of the summer, they did a very good job. Will continue to use Orkin in the future.

I have been a customer for many years. Orkin purchased the former Pugliese Pest Control of which I was a long standing customer. I am a gold program customer. I can receive monthly visits from the pest control technician, which I normally do. I am very happy with the new company but miss my old technician who retired.

The technician who came to my house was friendly and was able to answer any questions I had to ask. He explained what he was doing and why while he was checking my home. Over the past couple of years I have not seen insects in my home, including spiders, so I'd say whatever they have been doing has been working.

The Technician arrived as scheduled. Placed Sticky Pads in the pantry and under my sink. Said to call if I see a mouse on the pad. I called the next morning and he arrived on time and removed the mouse. Made my day. His performance was SUPER. If I ever have need for service of the Orkin Company I will not hesitate to call them because I know they will satisfy my needs. I wouldn't hesitate recommending this company to my friends and family. THANK YOU ORKIN. If I should need another service I'm definitely going to call.

I recently had a mouse issue in my basement & I contacted Orkin. They were very prompt & professional. The sales person Michael ** did a very thorough inspection of my house. He showed me photos of his findings. He then executed a plan of action & it was completed promptly with a visit from the supervisor.

Orkin service is great! The Orkin man explains what he's doing, and gives good service. Orkin has almost completely rid us of rats. They've done a good job ridding us of pesky ants also. We'd recommend Orkin to our friends and relatives. Orkin comes to our house when they message us that they will. They notify us the day before when they will be coming, by text message.

He was very thorough pointing out areas I had no idea were a problem. He made me realize that the basement is in such poor condition that I could probably have my insurance help me pay for it due to the damage caused by water and mildew. His ideas will help make a permanent solution for pest control.

Every time Orkin has serviced my home, I feel that the product really does its job.

I would definitely recommend orkin to anyone looking for a new or even replacing their current pest control service.

Our experience with our regular technician, Antonio, has always been wonderful. He is thorough, follows up on any pest complaints we have, and explains everything thoroughly. He also always shows up on time and modifies his visits if we are not able to be home for some reason. I hope Orkin can find many, many more technicians like Antonio. We could not ask for a better experience.

I have used Orkin for over 23 years. They are a full-service company, professional, knowledgeable, understanding, caring, and helpful. Never an issue. They go above and beyond to help in any way.

I've been using Orkin for about years everywhere I've lived. The service is great. They call before they come out. They give us a timeframe, and they're always within that timeframe. So, I'm very satisfied with that. I rarely see a bug now. They're doing the termite treatment and that's going well. I would recommend Orkin to anybody.

Orkin Pest Control comes out every other month and they do a full barrier protection around my property, up the walls and out on the ground. They put stuff down for the ants, brush down all the cobwebs, and go around all the windows. They've even gone under my house to check everything out. They spray for wasp’s nests and keep it bug-free. The techs are wonderful, and I've not had any problem with any of them. Overall, Orkin Pest Control is well worth the cost, and I've recommended them to lots of people. Three of them that I know right here in the area use them because of my recommendation.
Reviewed Jan. 17, 2024
I would recommend Orkin's services. They spray exactly where we tell them to. If we say we've seen some activity in the kitchen and the living room, they'll spray there. The treatment is working, and the pest activity has calmed down tremendously. I saw one roach last month, and before, I was seeing 10 a day. The technicians have been really good, but the one we had today was the best one so far. He was very personable and informative. He was a good guy, and I liked him.

When I reached out about my rodent problem, they took care of it. When rodents resurfaced later, I was distraught over the situation.

There were roaches and mice started coming in around the kitchen. The technician told me he was gonna put some bait out for them and glue trap. He put these black boxes out with mouse stuff in them and put them out in the cabinets and behind the refrigerator. Orkin is an affordable service and I would recommend them. However, the payment was supposed to be 46 but Orkin charged 93 to my card. It didn't go through but they kept charging it.

We hired Orkin in October 2022. The initial contract was 2600.00 and was to eliminate bed bugs. We also signed an additional agreement for bi-monthly services. Those payments were to begin AFTER the initial contract had been fulfilled. I have been charged this additional $50 per month fee since December 2022. Despite a bbb complaint in the Spring of 2023 where they agreed to honor the original contract, we were credited just $100 and were immediately sent the regular bi-monthly bills. This is a blatant breach of contract. It is now January of 2024. I still have bed bugs. So I told them I would not be paying the additional contract until the first was completed. They contacted me today and threatened collection if I do not pay them an additional $300 which they claim is "past due".

Edison, the tech, is the best. He's the only one I trust to come out and service my home. He's a good friend of mine and he can do the job. I work from home, and if I'm working, he'll not bother me and just leave as it's a mutual thing. The pest activity here has been better because we don't have the rats anymore. Edison also explains what's going on, so I know more about my area.

I'm on the seasonal plan and they come out in the summer months. The pest activity is almost depleted. I still have to have the service, but the activity is nothing like what it was when I bought the house. Also, the tech is great because he always tells me what's going on. If it wasn't for him, my basement would have flooded. All he has to do is spray but he even sprayed my crawl space and that's how he noticed that my basement was flooding. He told me that my sump pump wasn't working. One time, my sink upstairs was leaking into the crawl space and he told me and that saved me a big disaster. But I noticed that the price has been going up. I wish it was less.

It has been a very positive experience. If I had a concern about where I see bugs or anything that I have issues about, Orkin Pest Control would go ahead and they take care of it for me right away. I had some issues outside and inside in certain areas. They would make a special effort to take care of that for me as well. I haven't had all the problems I had prior. That's why I initially had Orkin come out, because I had issues with ants inside the house, especially in the kitchen. And even though I kept everything clean, they would still manage. That has been taken care of.

The tech that Orkin Pest Control usually sends out to my house is super nice. He would come in, make chit chat, and spray my house very thoroughly. He would always ask if I've had any issues since my last treatment, or areas of concern. In my last visit, I reported, “No.” Did his thing. Wished me happy holidays. Briefly spoke about upcoming travel plans. Told him safe travels. Great service. If I had questions, he was always happy to help. However, Orkin has me on a once-every-other-month schedule, and I'm not happy about it. And they said if I want them to come in between, I have to call and make those appointments. But they charge me monthly, so why can't they just send someone out monthly? Why is it on me to have to call and schedule it?
The reason I hired Orkin over other cheaper pest control services was because Orkin, at least on their website, said that if there was a problem area, like gaping, that they could close up gaps where bugs would enter from. And I thought that that was an issue in my condo. Since having them out, according to technicians who don't do what I wanted them to do, which is close up any gaps in ceiling, around windows or doors that the bugs might get in through, so I’m not pleased with that aspect of it. I said, “Well, if y'all don't do it and other places don't do it, I might as well be with the cheaper option. But the spraying that they do seems to kill the bugs when they come in. But ideally, I'd rather them keep the bugs from coming in. Go with a competitor that's cheaper.

I had a good experience with Orkin. We had a rat in our house last January. I had an encounter with it. It came upstairs. My daughter screamed loudly. She saw it. I tried to kill it with a shovel. I called Orkin. The guy came. He explained to me everything that he was doing. He was showing me where we could prevent it from happening again, things that we need to fix and stuff to look out for. He explained to us that rats were territorial, so it's rare that you have a whole bunch of them without it being an infestation. There was a part in our house where it seemed like there was an opening. He said, “This is the primary area you need to fix.”
He also told us, "If you would put traps down, put traps near the water." He also told us they may leave the house and come back to eat. He also told us that they get memory of the layout of the house. They all travel around the house to try and get a memorized layout of it. But after that day, we've never heard of it, even though they were still coming out setting traps, we’re baiting them, we never saw it from that day on.

It's been spectacular with Orkin. If anybody has any problems, that's where to go. The men they send out are gentleman-like. They do their job. They come out and inspect the house first, see what your problems are then they set up what you need. The schedule is at my request. Otherwise, I have to run around the house and catch all three dogs. The technician does what he has to do and leaves me a little note that he's there.
I had dropped off Orkin because I couldn't afford it. But I was getting those thousand leggers and spiders. The first time, they did a wonderful job but I still had tiny spiders and thousand leggers. The second time, I had to call them and said, "Could you come out and do the same thing you did before because I'm having a problem?" This time we had seen more spiders and more thousand leggers and they were huge. The technician called me personally which was nice. He told me he'd come out and do it again but it was not gonna help any better. He said, "You have to wait three more weeks until I come back out to redo it then we'll see what's going on." After I called him, we saw one spider or two. After the second time, I haven't seen anymore. Also, when he comes out, he knows where to go and does it. I'm very happy he comes out. If Orkin ever has a special where it reduces the price, I would appreciate it.

Orkin is the best in town. I'm very pleased. I've had the service for two years already. I'm happy with all of the reps that have been sent in. They're fantastic. There's a service manager in the office. He's done an excellent job. He came out and I can say Orkin's motto is, "If you're not happy, we're not happy." They live up to their motto. Any time that I have a problem, they bend over backwards to orchestrate it in a way that I'm satisfied. The first representative was like a son to me. I had him for about a year. His name was Danny.
It cost me a whole lot of money - $9,000. I had a serious mouse problem. But since I had that work done, there's not been a critter in the house. They check on everything. They go through my garage. They make recommendations. There was a time when I saw little piles of sawdust where the overhead door opens. I thought it was termites. But they said it was carpenter ants. Now, they always spray for the carpenter ants. They're very comprehensive. In the beginning, they were coming every 30 days for 3 or 4 visits. After the work was done and there's been no trace, I now have them coming every four months. Unless I'll see a mouse in the house, then I'll up the ante.

Orkin Pest Control was better than the pest control that I have that is assigned to my condo. I've been using Orkin for a year and I'm satisfied. I have them coming every three months. They're very professional. They always know what they're doing. For example, the first guy came and said, "I can smell the roaches." It was that bad. Pest activity has been rare. And if I have, it would be near the time, after three months. It was a good experience.

The most recent experience I had with Orkin was very good. It was a new technician that came out and he went over and above the call of duty. He offered some different suggestions. I have had some concerns. My house is a duplex. Sometimes one person is there, and sometimes, one person isn't there, so one wasn't getting treated. So, I told Orkin, “I just want y'all to call me and give me a heads-up so that I can get into the unit that's not there because I need both of them done at the same time.”
When I ended up getting the last gentleman that assisted me, we were there. With the stuff that he did, I never saw anybody put out something to see where traffic was. We were doing exterior spray as well in addition to interior. I'll refer Orkin. I used them some years ago on a property I had ant infestation and they cured that. My mom uses Orkin now in Newnan. So, Orkin is always a good name. I grew up on the name. I'm a real estate agent, too, and I see Orkin all the time.

Orkin has been doing an excellent job at keeping the ants under control. What I really appreciated was that they took a walk with me around my garage and they let me know that the firewood I had stacked up had carpenter ants. They sprayed for that and they also instructed me to get rid of the wood. Before I called them, I had tried for several years to get rid of the ants and I though I was making progress but no. I'm not happy with the higher rate that they charge now, but I am pleased with the service, and that's all that counts.
The two men who have come out and done the spraying have been very good people. I'm super pleased with the quality of the employees and the extent of their knowledge. They're not just off the street and doing a rush job and getting out. They're really taking the time to look and see what's going on and to make sure that I'm pleased with their work. I'd recommend Orkin.

My experience with Orkin is always very good. They're very thorough and kind. They are set up on a quarterly basis. However, I'm a senior so it has to go based on when I get paid. I usually have to reschedule when they call me for an appointment because I don't always have the funds to take care of it. They do allow me 30 days to make the payment, but I don't like doing that if I don't have to. They're pretty good about setting things up with me. Also, they go exactly where I need them to go, inside and outside. We had spider issues and now, it's gotten a lot better. We still have an issue every now and then with wolf fighters, but they're good about coming out when we need them. And they're usually pretty good about answering right away and taking care of whatever issues I have or any questions that I had. I've always recommended Orkin to anybody that asked.

I've only ever had one technician. I try to schedule around him so I make sure I get the same person all the time. He's very friendly and informative. He explains everything he's doing. He addressed any issues I've had. He told me, “If you see them within 24 hours, call me again and I'll come back out and retreat again. We'll keep retreating at no charge until it's rectified.” So I've been very happy with that. I've had a problem in the past with spiders invading the house and I called him to come back out.
When I write the check out, I always give it to the technician. I know he turns it in because usually, it clears my bank within five days. Then within three weeks, I'll get another bill from out of state saying that I haven't paid my bill. So I call the Orkin office, which they're very sweet. The girls are great down there. I'll tell them I've got another bill. But it's not coming from the office. It's coming from whoever does the main bookkeeping out of state. That's where the glitch is and it's annoying because even though I know I paid it, I wanna get it rectified because it creates stress. But it has nothing to do with Orkin's service or people.

Orkin has done 2 treatments on my home and I’ve paid 2 payments (in full). I just received a bill in the mail that states I’m 60 days overdue. An even more stupid thing is that Orkin has my credit card on file. I’m guessing this will go on my credit report as a late payment. Now I’m going to have to spend time on the phone and trusting them to delete my card # so I can go with another exterminator who’s does correct billing.

He was responsive and attentive so I hope we can get this right this time.

We had an infestation of fleas and it was so bad, Orkin came out several times without additional charge. That meant the world to me because they said, “We are going to treat this till it's done.” I had two different representatives from them who treated the yard and they were both outstanding. Once a date is scheduled, there's a lot of coordination that goes with it, so we appreciate that they stick to their schedule, too. But the payment is extremely confusing. It shows that I owe an amount. But I thought I already paid. It turned out something like 52.50 gets pulled out every month. I know how much each treatment is when they come out because I'm set up on one of their programs. But it's very hard to track. The last time I went on the website, I wasn't able to make sense of the finances. But this has nothing to do with the follow through, the people who come out and the products.

The apt complex we live in has a contract with another company. I am not impressed with them. They do very little. The exterminator from Orkin does a much better job. He takes the time to explain things to me...what I should and shouldn't do. He treats a far larger area than the other company does. I am still seeing roaches, but more dead than alive. I have had to change the glue traps that he left with me because they get crowded. He does a thorough job. The only places I see roaches is around the kitchen sink and on the counters. I would much rather pay for good service than trust a company that only shows up every 3 months, even though the contract specifies monthly treatments. Thank you for the good, reliable service!

We put Orkin on a credit card automatically, and scheduling, we usually get notified a couple of days ahead, then again, on the day of, they'll give us a two-hour window. The man who does the application lets us know when he's on his way from his last job before us, then he lets us know when he's in the driveway. We like the service. It's for insects and rodents, and we don't have much issue, but if we ever spot a small group of ants, all we have to do is call Orkin. They send Gianni, the tech, right back out here in short order, probably that day or the next, and he does a follow-up spray. He's really nice, friendly and always happy to help us out and answer questions. We would recommend Orkin to other people.

My technician's name is Dan and he is why I stayed with Orkin. That guy is awesome. Orkin has roughly the same cost as most of their competitors, but their frequency is much higher so their cost per service goes down. So from a cost perspective, they're neutral if not good. But from a scheduling in a service perspective, they're fantastic. Dan texts me to say that he is coming. I get notifications before they show up. If I have any issue with it, I can reschedule. But I've had Dan come when I was nowhere near the house, and he could get in. He knows where to go and what he's doing, and he does a great job.

I have a Holly tree out in my yard and my neighbor has a tree that has termites in it. I wanted my Holly tree to be protected from termites and Orkin did a wonderful job. They said it was unusual what I wanted but they took care of it. They're spraying for it every other month and put termite protection around the house and the garage. But when they come out to do my house for the bugs, they will spray for the termites around the tree. This was a special request and it’s now included with my package.
I talk to my Orkin specialist when he's here every month and when I called her and she came out to take care of the termites, she said they were only responsible for termites but they are responsible for all pests on my property now because I have the complete package. I started out with just the insects in the house and then I got puppies. I have them spray for fleas and ticks in the yard and I have termite protection now. There is nothing I don't have with Orkin. Plus, I'm still paying the price that I paid 10 years ago. It’s amazing. Once you're locked in with them, they don't raise their rate, which I found interesting.
I would have no problem recommending Orkin though for a while, I was having problems with them. My husband works overseas and works a different time and I try to stay up with him. And my daughter lives in Texas and I live in her time zone. So sometimes I get up early in the morning and sometimes I stay up late at night. It fluctuates. Sometimes, Orkin was out at 8 o'clock in the morning and that didn't work because I was up till 3 o'clock in the morning. But they've gotten good working with me about the time. If I text the tech and say 8 o'clock in the morning is not gonna work if he needs to get in the house and that I need him to show up a little later, he’s good at showing up later in the afternoon.

Over the years, Orkin has overcharged me for services I have paid them to fix. Work that they had initially done incorrectly, one time they even put a vapor barrier right over top of the previous one, which they had laid down originally, without removing/cleaning the previous one, just proceeded to put it right over top of previous stuff. Then they wanted to charge me more money to fix the problem(that I had just paid to have fixed) because it was done wrong. I feel they took advantage of me because I lived out of State, and the house was a rental.
I finally got tired of getting taken advantage of and got 2 other companies to give me estimate. Both of those estimates were half the Orkin estimate. They then sent another estimate with lower prices, they are the worst. I would have given them a - 5 rating, but I couldn't. The shame is I had put up with this for over 25 years. I finally ended my services only to find out I had double paid this year, and was not given a refund until I asked. I also was told that I could not get a partial refund for the year's service I had already paid, that the service will just end at the end of the year contract.

Orkin treats the bug infestation that we have, which was really bad, and they keep doing the outside now to make sure that it doesn't come back. The guy that used to come all the time was really good, but the main office is not. That's what I don't like. They're more greed-driven, whereas the guy who comes said, "No, you don't need all that. All I need to do is this." I said, "Okay. Because the lady said that we had to stay with you guys for a certain amount of time." He said, "No, I decide how long. I look at it and decide it's gonna take a month, two months, or whatever. She doesn't know anything."
Any time we call the front office, we get a different answer 'cause it's some lady just trying to book more appointments. When the guy comes, he says, "I don't know why she told you that." Even things that aren't related to money, the lady would say, "Oh, no, you don't have to take stuff out of your cabinet. You don't do any of that." When the guy gets here, he'd say, "Yeah, you do. I can't spray." Also, the very first time, the lady said, "Clear everything out," but the guy said, "No, no, no." Because we forgot to, and he said, "On your very first one, you never do because you don't wanna disturb their main home." Clearing everything out should be done until the tech sprays first because he can decide where the home is.
The bug man has all the knowledge, and the office doesn't, so I wonder, "What's their main job?" They're supposed to luring us in in the first place. They us signed up for packages that we didn't need, and the lady said that the service had to be every single month. We couldn't skip a month, but the guy said, "Yes, you can. All I have to do is put it in it every other month." We're allowed to skip a couple, but the lady won't let us. I don't know if it's always the same lady, but she said we can just cancel service if that's what we want. If we're having a hard time, we just wanna skip one. We're now past the one-year contract, which I thought was stupid, but the bugs are not 100% gone. Every now and then, if we miss a month or two, I'll see one and I'll tell them, "Hey, I need you to spray on the inside again."

If we do, we call them and they come right away and take care of it. But scheduling has been a bit of a problem. My wife works from home, so when somebody comes into the house, we need to know in advance that they're coming so that she can make sure she's decent and the house is in condition where she wants people coming in to see it. There have been a good number of occasions where they just show up at the door and say, “I'm here to do your service.” I have to tell them, “You have to come back another day. I need to know when you're coming.” So, I don't think there's coordination between them and their customer service department about letting us know when they're coming in advance.
Other than that, they're always very nice. The techs who come are polite and friendly. The service is extremely good. They just raised the price per service by $20. But we're willing to pay what we're paying right now as long as they fix this problem with the scheduling.

I had to reschedule service until later in the day. It was originally scheduled earlier in the morning and I was not able to attend that. I contacted them and they immediately reschedule to a time when I could be home. The rep was very polite. Our service technician serviced inside and outside our house. It took a little time but it was pretty thorough. He was very congenial and he did a good job.

I got a couple of days notification that Orkin had a service scheduled. Then I got an alert that they were here. I was at work at my office at the time, then I got a notification that they did just outside service and that they left. But that's something that happens every month or two. It's been pretty easy to schedule a service with them. Any time there's been an issue, I've been able to call them and someone's been able to schedule an intermediate appointment. We've had several technicians and most recently, we've had a woman and she's been fantastic. She was also very personable and knowledgeable. We really appreciated her knowledge about the different seasonal kind of bugs specifically and things to look out for. We have two cats that are indoor only, so her knowledge of fleas was really helpful.
Also, we had one cockroach inside our house by the door and I left a note on the door for her. She responded with a note that said it was okay and if there were any more that pop up, we should let her know. But when I saw her a couple of months ago for a service when I was home, she let me know that cockroaches tend to show up in cardboard boxes. So, now, my husband and I are very diligent about if we get an Amazon box. We take it out and recycle it really quickly. And we haven't seen any cockroaches aside from that one. Aside from that, we live really close to a creek and, at one point, I kept hearing scurrying and my cats heard it, too. We found out that there was an opening in the vents underneath the house, and a rat had gotten in. So, there was a rat running around under our house. Our Orkin technician was able to get it and there was a dead one under there, too. Since then, we've had no issues.
Every year that's passed since we got Orkin's service, the flare-ups of ants in the house has drastically reduced and we barely have any now. We also had earwigs in the door frames right in the front of our house and they're gone now. We still get ants in the yard but overall, percentage-wise, bugs has gone down at 70%. But they don't do pest control for wild animals, and we have nutria that occasionally come in our yard. And if your neighbors have wasps or any kind of issues, they can't address that either. Other than that, Orkin's service is affordable, personable, non-intrusive, and accessible.

We've had no issues with bugs anymore. The cost of the service is very affordable. The scheduling is great because this service is for our vacation home and we're not there all the time. Whenever I call Orkin, I ask someone about our next treatment. If it's a time when I'm not going to be there, we just move it and there's never any problem.

I had difficulty with pests so I called Orkin. When they came out, they did an inspection and they saw the pest activity. They prescribed a treatment and I okayed it. Over the course of time, the pest activity has decreased to zero. I know the tech who comes and we chat while he works. I share with him information about what I've seen since the last treatment and he talks to me about what he's doing and answers my questions. It's an amicable and informative visit. I get to see what he's doing and he gets to hear what I'm thinking.
The only thing is scheduling a service with Orkin can be frustrating. Sometimes, I talk to one person and the techs talk to me. Sometimes, the information is relayed back but not successfully incorporated into the process, so it takes several iterations before a preference of schedule is actually realized. They schedule by sending an email saying, "Hey, it's about time for your next treatment. And this is when our techs will be in the area, so we'd like to bundle you. And here's the day and time. So, yeah, see you then." If you don't like that, you call back and you say, "Hey, not that day." And that works. If you have a preference for a certain time of day, which is what I like, I tell them, "It can't be in the morning. It has to be between this time and this time." It takes a few iterations of the schedule before it shows up that way from the computer or email that they sent. But once it does, it works.

But I'm perfectly satisfied with it and particularly with the man that they send out to do our service. I'm pleased with my experience. Alex goes above and beyond what he needs to do. One time, we were having trouble with little flies coming out of one of the upstairs bathroom units. He came back on his own time and had purchased some tools so that he could get into that drain and clean it out for us. They never charged us anything extra for it. Another time, we were having a problem with rats, and he found a place outside where he thought they were coming in, and he was able to stuff that with steel wool. We haven't had any more problems.
Alex has also helped us with things that are not part of his job. We are both elderly and disabled, and if I needed a bathroom light changed that was too high for me to reach, he was quite happy to do it. I am a recent cancer survivor and the whole time that I was going through chemotherapy, he asked about my condition, and he prayed for me. I appreciate that very much.
I don't schedule the service anymore. Orkin just sends me an email and tells me when he's coming. If that's not a convenient time, then I call them back and then they give me another date and time.

Orkin Pest Control, Kingman, AZ. The company does not stand behind its money-back guarantee. We hired them for a one-time treatment to eradicate spiders from a new home purchase. When I was there a week later, the spiders were not dead. In fact, there were several different species of insects all laughing at me for spending $300 on this one-time service, as did the realtor. "You got taken."
When the company was contacted, they did not answer the phone, and VM was full. Somehow, they did contact me about a week after my call, and when I described the failure of the treatment, they did offer to come out and re-treat, but I had already hired another company, since their treatment did not work. They did NOT stand by their money-back guarantee, they just wanted to try and make me an "every other month" customer by claiming that one-time treatments aren't very effective. I asked why they offered a money-back guarantee for their $300 service if that was the case? He merely repeated that multiple treatments were needed and I should hire them. I explained I had already hired another company. No refund is forthcoming. The "guarantee" is a lie.
FYI, they only want to offer every OTHER month service, which is NOT effective (if you read the pest chemical container, it specifies efficacy for "30 days"). Do not recommend hiring this company for pest control. They want the $$, but not the actual job. There are other companies who are actually dedicated to ensuring the customer can live pest-free.

I was with Orkin for a few years and had a pretty decent experience with them. Scheduling service was good and everybody I talked to and dealt with was nice. They walked through what the plan was like. There were things that I didn't ask for but that may have been partially my fault. I moved and I got a different service. My new next door neighbor has Orkin and I saw them doing things over there like getting out really high cobwebs and things that they didn't do at my place before. I don't know if I was supposed to ask for that or if it's even included. I didn't have any neighbors with pest control services at my old place so I didn't witness it to have anything to compare it to at the time.
That aside, the Orkin technicians were awesome when I had them. The person who used to come regularly until he had some kind of injury was just very friendly and we were on a first name basis. He would come and play with my dog even. He was nice. I only had one negative experience with Orkin. I needed to switch from every other month to every three months because I did not see the need for their service during the cold weather. I had a very small townhouse and I did not really have issues. It was more of a preventative measure. Orkin gave me a hard time switching and told me “No, you have to wait for the next one.” It was like they were forcing me to do the service every two months or I could not do it at all. They ended up talking to their manager, coming back and saying, “Okay. We'll take care of it.”
It was like pulling teeth a little bit. I'm not unreasonable. It just wasn't logical or reasonable to demand that you have to have the service every other month, especially when I had it for a couple of years already. Any kind of contract would have been over if there was one even. Other than that, all my other experiences were good. I might have just gotten somebody on the phone who had not had that situation before and they didn't know how to handle it. It could just be a training issue.
Price-wise, it was pretty high. That's across the board with pest control in general. My townhouse was 1,100 square feet and they were in there for two minutes, spraying. It seemed a lot to be showing out for two seconds of work. But industry standard-wise, it's fair. The service I have now is even more expensive. I have more square footage so I expected that. It's reasonable.

The tech sprayed the corners of our walls and did our garage so that nothing could come in. He did an outside treatment all the time when he visited. He told me that he was just doing the outside because it helped with spiders or mosquitoes. I didn't have any issue with that because I always knew that bugs belonged out there. I didn't see too many bugs outside either, if that helped, around my house. He also did cabinets because sometimes, they like hiding there. He did spots where I wouldn't have known they could have hidden because it was too high up for me to see. So, he was spraying down everything and that got rid of the issue.
Orkin has definitely helped since I haven't seen any bugs in my house after maybe a couple of more treatments. It doesn't go away instantly but it went away a lot faster than I expected.

Working with Orkin has been great. They are very positive and professional. They put booties on at the front porch and I really appreciate that. The techs are super polite and efficient. They're always on time. Since they serviced, pest activity has been practically non-existent. I recommend Orkin. Try it.

We had the stink bugs and it was hard to contain all that, but Orkin got that under control. We also had a problem with the sugar ants and the techs come every spring for that. They managed to keep them away from inside the house. One time, when they came out, they got a possum and her babies out from underneath the house. The techs are also spraying where they're asked to spray. They even sprayed something for mosquitoes out there in the yard.

This is my first year with Orkin, and my contract is up, but I just got a bill in the last couple days. I did the numbers, and it looks as if they've gone in and done an application without any notice to me, because I have paid everything that was due under the contract. I'm sure they'll have an adequate explanation, but I want some explanation on this additional charge that I got. Other than that, they were good, and I'm satisfied with the work that they did. The price was a bit high, but it took care of my carpenter ants, so it was worth it. I could recommend them. The building that they were treating was a vacation home for our kids, and I had a picture of the fellow doing the work, but I never had a one on one with him. I didn't have any direct connection with Orkin other than the email notices that they would send before they went down to do the application which were thorough. We also got notices when they got there and when they left.

Our Orkin technician does an outstanding job and we like him. He's very personable and he tells us what he's looking for. He also tells us that if we see anything at all, we should let him know and they'll come back out. But we haven't had to do that yet. We have the service to prevent bugs in our house and when they come out, they spray. They come in the house if we want them to and when we're away for the summer, they'll do it outside every couple months. The pest service is worth it to avoid any problems down the road.

We used to have a different company, Preventive and then, a representative came to our door from Orkin and pointed out some of the mistakes that the other company was making. We just went for it and we've been happy ever since. The guy who comes and services our house is Brian and he's amazing. Super professional and always shows up on time. If I ever need to reschedule, he reschedules at my schedule. Totally convenient. He's super pleasant, kind, wonderful and does his job. The pest activity has been definitely reduced. We don't have as much stuff inside the house as we did before. The mosquito problem is really bad everywhere, but ours is actually a little better than a lot of people's because of the spraying.

The Orkin tech came to my house and sprayed the house and the outside like he always does. They usually email me to schedule for service. If it works, I just leave it, and then they give me a window. But if it doesn't work, then I just call and reschedule. We had a lot of silverfish and we had carpenter bees that they took care of. We've had ants and pincher bug things that they've taken care of too. They spray outside for the carpenter bees. They put a powder in the little holes that the bees make and then they give me a little trap for the garage. It's great now. I barely have anything. Aaron is the tech that usually comes and he's super friendly and comes on time. I'm very satisfied.

Orkin comes out every other month during the summer and early fall, starting about April and going through October. I talk with their techs and tell them where I want them to go. The one I have right now sprays good and I could tell the difference when he leaves. I had ants really bad all year-round and after he came, they disappeared. And he would come back when I'd have a big infestation without any problems at all. I wish they could also get rid of mice but I don't have that problem year-round.

They come every two months and mostly they're spraying around the perimeter of my house. Chris is the one that's been coming for quite some time now and he's wonderful. He's very pleasant. He doesn't waste a bunch of time chit-chatting and carrying on. He checks in and then he goes about his business. He's also very thorough. I appreciate that. He always asks if there's anything extra that's come up that he needs to be aware of. I'm very happy with the technician I have. He's on time and lets me know when he's going to be here. Usually, I get a text the night before to let me know that he's going to be here, and then a window of time so that I can have the gate open for him. It works out very well. I would recommend Orkin, very definitely. I'm very impressed with Chris and his diligence. He's a good representative of the company.

We're really pleased with Orkin. They come every three months. We have a couple of mouse traps set up and they check for the wasps that we had out in the woodpile. I point out a couple of areas that they need to go to and that's what they do and they report back afterwards and we've been really happy with them. The problem is when we transferred over from Crazy Frog, we had not been getting our emails or messages saying when their people are gonna be here. They would just knock on the door. Luckily, we were home. But the technicians have been great. We had them come out on an off day in-between months because my husband saw some little tiny ants in the backyard and they were over the next day and they were taking care of that for us. They're really good at coming when we need them.

I had a different company that would send out anybody, and it was a mess. I didn't like it at all. They sprayed all over the windows, and it wasn't a good thing. Orkin is much better. They do their job well, and I haven't had any problems since they've been coming. They usually send me a text to let me know when they're coming, but this time, they didn't. Luckily, I was home and it was the guy that I like. It worked out. The guy did some light spraying in the basement, checked and sprayed on the outside, and did everything he was supposed to do. It didn't take long, and it was done. The guy knows where the traps are and what to look for. The traps are downstairs in the utility room. I had a problem with mice, and he knows where to look. There are some in the garage as well as under the sink and in the pantry. Everything’s been good.

I have two houses and Orkin sends me a note to tell me it's time for the service. I gotta have them 'cause one of the houses is in the forest, and the other one is almost. They come at one place or the other often, and they seem to be doing a good job. When I'm there, the techs and I talk, and they are very straightforward, calm, and gentlemanly.
Sometimes when Orkin sends me the note that they're coming at a certain time, I'll respond with a text saying, "I'm not there and the key's in its usual place for you." Often, when they come, I'm not present, but if I know they're coming, we have a cue of where the key will be so they can get in and do what they need to do. I trust them. Overall, my experience has been fine, and I am happy. Occasionally, when I'm not there, the techs miss a couple of spots, but that's very rare. The cost is fine too. I don't like paying, but it seems equivalent to what I get.

I would highly recommend Orkin. I've had them for so many years, I never had a bug problem, and I want them to continue to prevent the bugs from showing up in my house. They inspect the perimeter to make sure that my plants aren't too close up against the house and they spray the entrances and all the doorways. They go in my garage and spray as well. They take care of the entire house inside and out, and they do a very good job. The techs have always been very professional, friendly, and they do an excellent job. They show up when they're supposed to. They're never late. All in all, I'm more than satisfied with their services. They've been very helpful over the years. They even came in 15 years ago and located termites. They weren't even inspecting for termites, but they found them.

I'm on a yearly program with Orkin Pest Control, so I get treatment four times a year, once every three months. The visit is on the second Monday of every third month, and the most recent one was very timely. The operator who performed the services was on time. He called about half an hour before to let us know he would be at the house so someone would be here. That was always appreciated.
The service was conducted in line with what we generally see for the house. I usually follow the controller around. If he has any questions, I can answer him, and if I have any questions, he can answer them. Outside the house, the weather was good. There wasn't any problem with rain, so there was no problem with him doing any outside work. In terms of areas of concern, we hadn't had any problems here in about a year and a half, and I let the guy know that, up to this point, everything has been clean and clear. There weren't any areas that had been disturbed or left untreated from the last treatment three months ago, and anything that he did this time was just a standard, routine spraying of the house.

I found a trap box on the property I just bought, so I called the name on the box. I asked Orkin to continue whatever service they gave to that property prior. They and their tech knew about the property, and they changed over the name of the previous owner to ours. The service is once a month. We're usually not at the property, but they send notice a few days prior that they're coming on a certain date and time, then when they're on their way, when they're there, and once they've completed the task.

Scheduling with Orkin is easy and everybody's always knowledgeable and good. I talked to the last guy for a while because we had an ant problem and he went over that with me. He didn't seem hurried and answered all my questions, and was very nice and polite. We don't always get the same people but they let us know they're here and what they'll be doing and if we have any questions. For a while, we had a problem at the back of the house. When we had replaced our siding, the people who did that forgot to put the vent cover in at the top of the house on the outside. So, the man at that time told us to let them know if we couldn’t get that done. But we did. We have tall sons-in-law. So, they took care of that.
We haven’t had any pest activity since it was taken care of. Occasionally, we've had some because we grow our own organic vegetables. And one of our daughters has worked on a farm. So, sometimes things get into the house. But Orkin comes as soon as we call with just a couple of days and they take care of it and follow up and ask us how it's going. We've been with them for at least 20 years and we have them come on a regular basis to avoid any problems. So, except for the occasional monsoon which brings ants, we don't see anything. For everything they do, it's definitely money well spent.

But we usually don't have any bugs. We live right in the middle of the woods. So, it would be a challenge to keep all of the bugs out. But the treatment is working very well.

Their technicians seem to be well-trained and professional. They've taken down a wasp nest that I didn't know was part of the contract. For the quarterly pest control, they're always careful to ask if we have a particular problem that surfaced since the last time they were here and they will make a sincere effort to try to deal with that. Also, they will come if we spot anything that looks like termites. They come usually in September and they do an inspection. They would go through the house and look at the normal places where termites would try to make an entry. They have access through one of the closets that has a common wall with one bathroom and they would put in a device that they use to go in on their hands and knees and take that little screen down and check in there with a flashlight. They go all the way around the house looking carefully.

Edgar, the guy from Orkin who comes every two months, has been very nice. He places the report cards, picks up the old ones and places the new ones. He places down a new bait and removes the old stuff. He tidies up outside, sprays around my house, and tidies up by dusting the cobwebs. He's remarkable and I couldn't ask for anybody better. The bug problem was gone the first time that he did the first treatment and I have not seen one since then. Scheduling my service with Orkin has been great as well. Usually, I get a text and an email before the appointment just to let me know when the service is scheduled, which is really awesome. Edgar will also let me know by texting me to make sure that the schedule is a good time for me. He knows I'm a caregiver of a couple and sometimes I get busy on days.
One time, I had a pair of techs come by. They were filling in because they were low and Edgar may have been ill during that time. When the two other guys came over, they were in and out in five minutes. I'm not really sure what they did but I let it go. Other than that, products or chemical combination they're using is effective and it doesn't bother my animals, which is another positive. Orkin is a remarkable service and they get the job done. It's a roller coaster ride when it comes to bugs and they have got it under control.
Also, I was sold when Edgar said they've been doing business since 1917. He also had educated me on the fact that they take care of hospitals and schools and even some eateries that I go to. Plus, I've noticed a little Orkin, the little sticky boards, the little report cards that they have placed down. I noticed them too in other places. And that makes me feel a little more comfortable because I know what they do at my house. I have a friend who works for another company, and he told me to just drop Orkin and that he'd take care of us. But he charges $5 more than they do. Their online tools are also really easy to understand and explore.

Manager Derek was terrible. Was charged for a service that I was told would be covered for free under their conditions of coming back for free since the pest was not controlled. Was charged anyway and when calling back was told I would be refunded. No refund two weeks later and the manager goes back on his word saying it was a billable service. Only reason it was billable was because it was on September first. The previous service was August 17th, and prior to that July 28th. Even though three services in 5 weeks, because they were all separate months I get charged for all three. Do not use this service. They will rip you off.

I am the property manager of a mobile home park. I have a tenant that has mice...after scheduling an appointment with the "local" Orkin company out of Great Falls, MT and after ENSURING they will work with a 30day net payment, the tech arrived and was unwilling to complete the treatment without payment upfront. After getting the correct information regarding payment (to put a card on file that they can charge at the time of service), I rescheduled the tech to come back out. It was going to be a month wait, because they are pretty far from me, which I was fine with. However, that day came and went with a no call-no show. I have since called back 3 times. The 1st 2 times I was told a tech or someone would call me back to schedule the appointment and it never happened.
Today on my 3rd call, after being on hold for 15 minutes, I was hung up on. My biggest problem here is that Orkin is my ONLY option. We are remote and don't have a pest control company any closer to us than the Orkin in Great Falls. And so now I have a tenant with mice that I can't help and I feel terrible that this lovely lady has to live with unwelcome house guests because Orkin can't be bothered.

The rep said I was still on the schedule, but it's from 10:00 to 2:00. 2 o'clock rolled around and then 2:30 but nobody came. I called back again. Only this time, no one ever picked up. I sent a text to them letting them know how unprofessional that was and how all I asked for as a customer was just a phone call or a text letting me know whatever. Later that evening at about 7 o'clock, I got a text that they were rescheduling me on a date and time for the 27th of this month, which I thought was interesting because it would have been nice if they called to see if that date was an available date. They didn't and they just scheduled that time.
They need to do a lot better with respect to their communication with their clients when they schedule dates. I've talked to them about this once before. This is not the first time that I've mentioned or even asked for that. It takes very little to just send a text or a call. I told them to let me know something and not just let me keep a whole day open, not show, and reschedule me a week later. That's very unprofessional. Other than that, the service is excellent and I don't see any pests. The technician that we have is good and thorough.

I've had numerous pest control companies over the years in my various homes. Orkin is by far and away the best company I've ever dealt with. Their people are service-oriented. Companies in South Florida are notorious for making people wait days until they get serviced. Orkin is far superior in terms of customer service. The tech that services my house is a very nice guy. We live in an area near a freshwater lake so there are a lot of critters. He goes out of his way to make sure that our home is protected. If I called, sometimes he diverts out of an activity he's been doing to come to our home to make sure that the job is done just the way he wants it. I can't ask for better service.
At the beginning of COVID, I had a new roof put on my home. Part of the reason that we had to have a new roof was because we had a termite infestation. They treated that prior to the roof being replaced. The techs said to me, "Mister Abraham, when they're replacing the roof, before they close it, call us and we'll have one of our guys treat it from the top. That way everything is covered." I called them last minute because I can't control the roofing company. They wanna do their job and get out of there, especially with weather coming.
