Description of Work: I dislike using poisons, but ants had been so agressive I tried it. Orkin guy Randy was great, but I became uneasy when I could smell the product around the house, so I discontinued service.

They set up a tent and everything and I spent about $3000. The people who did the job was a different company. I asked Orkin about it and they weren't about to tell me much other than the name of the company. It seemed like they sub contracted them. The company asked me to send them a cheque for $90 and they insisted that they weren't sub contracted by Orkin. But the $3000 went to Orkin. There was a problem during the process of getting the tent over the house. The worker should have told me that it involved an extremely high risk of my roof being damaged. They didn't tell me to take down my satellite dish and I didn't have time to take it down and they ended up damaging the solar water heater on the roof and they damaged part of the hood of the chimney. Thy bent over my satellite dish and it got damaged and they said they could not pay me back for my dish and they talked about reimbursing me for my water heater but so far I haven't gotten a cheque from them. They talked about paying for half of the damage and I really wanted them to pay for the entire thing. It occurred to me in the contract that neither of the companies are responsible for damage to anything on the roof and they left it up to me to figure that out and I think that was important enough for them to bring that to my attention so they will be released from liability if anything happens.
Description of Work: I used Orkin Pest Control for whole house fumigation in mid February

They're very good, on time, and courteous. They're a reputable company. I like the intervals of service, the follow-up that they give, and the guarantee that they will come back for problems. They're well-known. I have a fine impression about their service.

I don't like them at all. They did a scare tactic and talk to our association about tenting the whole building. They gave us an estimate. They are professional appearing but they try to scare us into tenting the building when termites was not the issue. It really bothers me that they did the scare thing.

They have lots of products. They prevent and prolong bugs and rodents from your house. I trust them as another company said they saw evidence of termites, however, Orkin did not.

We requested a free consultation from the company through their online website and were immediately contacted to schedule something the next week. The representative came over and checked our house, he showed me all the places where he noticed termite exsitence/damage and answered all the many questions i had. He was very knowledgeable about the bugs and gave us a mini biology lesson which was very informative and helpful to us. When giving us our quote, we realized what a great salesman he was (red flag?!). He told us numerous horror stories about the work of other undisclosed competitor companies and made it sound like his company was the only trustable company with exceptional quality that we could hire. He recommended treatment of the termites (fumigation), preventative services (sealing vents, spraying wood with chemicals) and a warranty that when combined made it sound as if our termite troubles would be done with for good. The quote was a bit pricey but according to him, you pay for what you get: quality. I'm sure his company does great work but we're skeptical of the fine print in the warranty. We have not hired a contractor to perform services but we will probably not use this company because of their high prices. We had another well known company give us a similar recommendation and quote for a cheaper price. And we have decided that the warranties offered by both companies are too good to be true. Therefore, we will most likely get a simple fumigation from a smaller company since we figure that it will probably be cheaper in the long run even if we have to get another fumigation in the future.
Description of Work: We called the company for an assessment and quote on removing drywood termites from our home.

They have a real good reputation, and I have seen their commercials all my life. When they came they were very knowledgeable, flexible, and professional. If I am not able to make it I can always reschedule them even if it is on a weekend. I really like that and they stand behind their guarantee.
Description of Work: I have a contract with Orkin Pest Control, and they come every month. They were here last month. They do perimeter and treat outside for bugs. If I want them to they will come inside and spray.

They were very professional. They were extremely expensive. It took them a day for the estimate. They were almost $2000 more than, which was more than double, the provider that we went with for basically the same services. They did a thorough examination of the areas. They looked everywhere. The cost was just way too much. The report was on time and everything was great; they were just way too expensive. They were out of line compared to the others. They weren't pushy about doing the work. They explained everything.

I like that they are punctual. They come out on time. They come out four times a year. They have responded very well, when I have had any problems. I pay them every quarter. It cost me $60 a quarter. I haven’t had any problems with the bugs since I’ve been using them. I am grateful for that. I haven’t compared their prices to the others as I have been using them for a long time. I don’t think they are unreasonable. I am satisfied with them. I’ll definitely use them again in the future.
Description of Work: I use Orkin Pest Control. The last time they came out was a month ago.

The inspector was very knowledgeable and professional. He thoroughly explained what he found and showed me the problems areas. He provided me with written information about the the service and options available providing pros and cons. There was no pressure. I Googled to confirm the options and his recommendations and elected not to tent but to spray. The technician arrived on time along with the inspector who went over the various areas that he needed to work on. The technician did the work efficiently and he too took time to explain exactly what he would be doing and why. He, likewise, was a pro. Although this was the first time I have dealt with Orkin regarding termites, for the past several years I have contracted with them for regular pest control on apartment buildings I own in San Diego and likewise have always been satisfied with their work and professionalism. I have never a problem with them. They have been very responsive to my needs and the needs of the tenants.

The fact that I have not had any insects to pester me since they started treating says it all. They come on a regular basis and deal with everything. They will come, at no charge, if a problem does arise in between visits.
Description of Work: They treated the inside and outside of my house for the palmetto bugs, roaches, ants and spiders. I pay a yearly fee for the service.

They did a good job and they used really good chemicals on my home. After the job was done, I didn't see any pests at all and I also thought the price was very reasonable. They were a big help and the technicians were great to work with.

Very mixed results. Orkin was thorough in their inspection, estimate and follow-up. More so than the 2 others I had give me an estimate. The price was in the mid to upper range of average. They gave me a modest discount from the estimated price. However, they sub-contract all their fumigation work. After the sub-contractor, Beneficial Exterminating Inc. of 5135 West Rosecrans Ave, Hawthorne, CA, was done I noticed tile missing from my roof. Yet no tile on the ground. They apparently cleaned it up and didn't tell me. Pay very careful attention to their instructions about securing your food and your valuables. You may be sorry if you don't. There remains an outstanding issue with this company that cannot be elaborated upon due to legal considerations. I wrote and complained to Orkin and let them know I would be making an Angie's List report, yet they haven't contacted me. Hence, the mixed results report. This company is the same as the one on Angie's List with the San Gabriel, CA address.
