I have an annual agreement with them but I can cancel it at any time. They have been getting better lately. I continue to use them. They come when they think they are. We have a key account so we don't have an issue with it. They are very professional. They have been getting better with that lately.
Description of Work: I use Orkin Pest Control.

Left them 2 voicemails and spoke to them 3 times at which they promised they would send a person each time. Till now 4 weeks after initial reporting he problem nothing happened. Had their customer service team confirm they have on t heir notes about the problem. They did have notes. Informed them it was dangerous and family members are getting bit. Still no service from them. Visits have been scheduled and yet no one comes and no one calls. Horrible service and would never recommend them to anyone
Description of Work: Have a wasp problem and they came and said they sprayed it and will come 5 days to check on it. No change in the wasp problem and it only got worse.

Just one person came out to put down all the traps, it took him only about half an hour. They did a good job, they're usually pretty effective. You should expect good and punctual service.
Description of Work: They put traps down and caught what was in the house and removed it, the price was covered in my monthly service.

They were the only company of several we called that would come out same day. They would only come out and treat the problem, however, if we agreed to a contract of 6 or more treatments. We did not want to but needed service. They did come and spray ants. We did not want any more service after that. The serviceman showed up unexpectedly 2x and wanted to spray inside. He claimed that he tried to call yet we have no record of that. We called Orkin and asked them not to come or bill us anymore as we did NOT want any more service. Their response was, "We will come anyway and bill you until the contract ends". We said we will pay the fee to break the contract. They would not respond to this and continue to bill. We don't even know if they ever actually have treated or spray for insects after the first/original treatment. Poor customer service, communication and unscrupulous business practices. One of the highest fees for service of competing businesses. Would not use or recommend to anyone.
Description of Work: We called Orkin to spray for an ant infestation.

They put you on a quarterly program or a yearly program where they come out 4 times during the warmer months to spray your home with general pesticides to keep the pests away since we live in a wooded area. My overall experience with them was good. Their responsiveness was pretty good too.
Description of Work: I used the services of Orkin Pest Control in the last week for pest control. They fixed a lady bug problem that we had.

They are very quick. Once they know the layout of the building their application is very quick in the building. They are willing to come back as needed. If I call them today they will come back and take care of it today. They are very knowledgeable about bugs. They have actually caught a couple of bugs and battled them. When I showed the bugs to the person who was applying the product he looked at it and identified it immediately. They understand their business. They are pretty reliable. When they say they are going to be there within a certain time frame they are there within that time frame. Sometimes they have called us and said that they have cancellations and asked us if they could come down as they were in the same neighborhood. They come out a day or 2 early. They call in advance and see if it’s a possibility for them to come out. Anytime we have asked them to treat an extra area they have never backed out from doing it. They come out every other month. It’s already set up in the system. They put you at ease when they are doing their work. We had questions about what was being sprayed and what kinds of bugs we were having. They were good at answering them. They told us what to look for and what would happen. Their description was accurate as far as what was going to transpire.

They spray inside and outside the house, and it takes them about 10 minutes. They call you and let you know when they are going to come over. The experience with them has been okay, and their prices are okay too, although their quality of work can be better.
Description of Work: I use Orkin, and they come out every month to do some regular pest control for me.

They were neat, clean, careful of the plantings and we believe did an excellent job.
Description of Work: We discovered termites in our garage. They have been a problem in our area for over thirty years, but not to our property. I removed drywall and insulation from the walls and determined that about 10' of wall was involved. I cleaned it all and treated it with an insect killer. It killed everything in sight including spiders, ants, rolly polies and termites, but, I was still nervous about closing the wall up again. We had a pest control company out for an ant problem and were never happy with their service so we decided to call Orkin. The salesman inspected both the garage and the house. The house was declared critter free but the garage had to be treated. He recommended treating around the house as a precautionary measure (good salesman/inspector). We decided to treat only the garage. The next day we contacted the Orkin office (in Broadview) to make an appointment. They were out the same day. They trenched around the garage and with some gentle prodding from the technician, I removed some newer plants and dug a little in the area he thought best. When we found the active colony the tech treated the area and all around the garage and drilled through the apron.

We needed a service to come and take control of our mice issue. They were very prompt and placed poison in the areas of concern. I would have liked them to try to helps us figure out how the mice got in so that we can prevent this in the future but that did not happen. Otherwise, we were pleased.
Description of Work: Take care of mice in garage and under porch.

PHENOMENAL. THEY HAVE HIGHER PRICES, BUT ORKIN HAS THEIR REPUTATION FOR A REASON. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE SIMPLY CANNOT BE BEAT. THE SAME MAN ALWAYS COMES TO MY HOUSE EACH TIME, HE CALLS AHEAD TO BE SURE THE TIME IS OK, HE IS PROFESSIONAL, TRUSTWORTHY, AND RESPECTFUL. WHEN I INQUIRED ABOUT HAVING TREATMENTS DONE EVERY MONTH DURING THE SUMMER, THEY SCHEDULED THEM AT NO EXTRA COST. BECAUSE I AM A REGULAR CUSTOMER, I RECEIVED THOSE TWO EXTRA MONTHS FREE. BASICALLY, ONCE YOU ARE ON BOARD WITH THEM, THEY'LL DO ANYTHING FOR YOU. WHENEVER I SEE ONE BUG, I JUST CALL UP SAM (MY ORKIN MAN) AND HE COMES TO TAKE CARE OF IT (IN ADDITION TO MY REGULAR PREVENTION TREATMENTS).
Description of Work: SPRAY FOR BUG PREVENTION EVERY OTHER MONTH, BOTH INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR.
