Their bi-monthly service is disappointing. They increase their price every year and the bi-monthly service which started at $78 in 2012 increased to $82.68 in 2013 and $87.64 in 2014. The technician doesn't call in advance to schedule his appointment at my house and doesn't perform all of the services he is supposed to perform such as knocking down all spider webs. Not sure if any other pest control companies are better, but feel that the services that Orkin provides are not worth the bi-monthly fee that is charged.
Description of Work: I use Orkin for bi-monthly pest control services.

They came three times. A couple of years ago I had another company and I liked them better. Eventually the ants left and that is the best thing I liked about Orkin Pest Control.
Description of Work: I called Orkin Pest Control when I had ants.

We have been very happy with them. We use them once a month but any other time I call him he will come out not just for ants and spiders or stuff like that but rodents too. He's become a friend. He will call me just before he comes out so he knows we are here because if I want him to come inside he has to know we are here.

It turned out I didn't have bed bugs and this technician violated their procedure because they aren't suppose to spray for bed bugs unless there is evidence of bed bugs. So I went through this horrible experience. I ended up throwing away lots of clothes and washing absolutely everything. It was a nightmare for 2 or 3 weeks. I'm still reeling from it. Now it's nearly two months later. I refused to pay because Orkin failed to follow procedure. I've had two long phone conversations with managers. Both were courteous and reasonable. I believe they are genuinely sorry the spraying took place. Given that the spraying happened, I believe Orkin has acted professionally and reasonably, so I have upgraded their ratings. I hope that now they're less likely to spray for bedbugs without hard evidence.
Description of Work: I woke up with about 30 itchy welts all over my body and thought it was bed bugs and called Orkin. I talked with a sales person in Atlanta who sold me a $450 contract. A technician from Hayward came to my house later that day. He looked for bedbugs or signs of infestation but did not find any. He told me to put all my clothing, bedding and other things in that room in plastic bags. He did a little spraying. It took me four days to pack up the contents of the room.Then another technician came back. He also looked for and failed to find signs of bedbugs. Even so - and without telling me it was against company policy - he sprayed with an especially noxious pesticide. He wore a mask while he sprayed and told me to stay out of the room for at least two days. I stayed out for a week.

Very nice people. Scheduled the appointment when I needed it with very short notice. Within 3 hours they were done. I got about 5 estimates from local termite companies, they were all about the same price. The great thing about Orkin is they continue to come by to check for termites and it's included in the price, plus you can pay in installments. To continue termite treatments it's about 400 a year. Most smaller companies will charge you the same full price again.
Description of Work: They took out termites under my house. Installed bait around house to determine future termite activity. Drilled thru my porch to fill with anti-termite foam. Drilled on the side of my house and sealed w/ foam. Cleaned out tons of scrap wood under house in crawl space.

My dealing with Orkin has been great. They go over and beyond the requirements. I had them come out and spray for insects and they found termites and sprayed for them along with the other services they provided. I think they charged a reasonable rate. They are very friendly people and honest.
Description of Work: Exterminate whole house inside and out.
