I am very happy. Very rarely do we see any gnats or spiders. No roaches or anything like that. I like Orkin. The guy prepares us. He knows what he is doing. We pay on a monthly basis.
Description of Work: He was able to do inside pest control. They did inside the windows and all around the house.

I had so many issues getting mosquito treatment started up last year and I made the mistake of thinking this year would be better. This year I called to get my spraying started up because it was April and I still hadn't been called by Orkin as I was told I would. The first time I called, nobody answered. I left a voicemail and to nobody's surprise, no one called me back. A few days later I called again and was able to get a service scheduled for mosquitos. I also need carpenter bees removed from my home and that was set up for the same day / time. Everything would be handled together. On this past Saturday the technician arrived on time (which is a miracle for Orkin) and informed me that he could spray but because the bees were higher up on my house, he needed a ladder. Then he tells me his truck was in the shop and this truck for the day didn't have a ladder on it. He asked if I had one to lend him but I don't. During the conversation he made it sound like he was going to get one and come back later that day. However, after he was done spraying he then corrected himself saying that he'd have to go all the way back to New Hyde Park to get the ladder and it wasn't possible. He offered to return Tuesday to handle the bees. I let him know nobody would be home and he said that was okay. He could still complete the job. By noon on Tuesday I still hadn't heard anything so I contacted Orkin once more. I was now informed that this technician forgot to put in the work order and nobody is coming. Now I have an appointment for the next day. Last year was a sign I should take my bussiness elsewhere and frankly after this ordeal I think I'm done with Orkin once this bee issue is done. I will be using LawnDoctor for all future service after today.
Description of Work: Sprayed for mosquitos. Was supposed to remove bees also.

This company will make you wait weeks for an appointment and then not show up. Then when I asked for a refund they claimed the technician serviced the perimeter of my home. That is impossible because we have security fence all around us that is always locked. When I called to ask for a refund, they offered me half. When I said do what is fair and give me a total refund since zero service was provided, they refused and told me to go ahead and cancel. Too bad since they did a decent job of wiping out our spider and centipede problem when they did show up. Although their product does leave drip marks on the walls so if you have flat paint be careful.
Description of Work: Home extermination.

We have a yearly inspection just to make sure that the termites don't come back. The termites had a nest outside and so I got worried. Sometimes he may point out that there was a mouse around. He spends around 45 minutes going around. I just know where the termite damage was, but they know that that is not anything new. We have been using them for about 2 years now. We chose them because they are reputable and I didn't see any bad reviews about them on Angie's List and I felt more confident choosing them. They are very coordinated, because they first had to look for where the termites are and then they put the poison in there and that is a bit of an operation. They came in late and when I called, the dispatcher person sounded surprised that we were expecting someone that day. The guy who came in was very apologetic about lateness and he was very professional, he wasn't rushing and anything like that.
Description of Work: We used Orkin Pest Control. We have an ongoing thing with them for termite control. The guy goes around the house and outside, checking to see any signs of termites or anything else.

Read my previous comments - I give Orkin a D (Minus).
Description of Work: Orkin was contracted to provide pest control for bedbugs and fleas. I found the solutions and methods to kill both, which is separate methods, had little effect on the bedbugs or the fleas. With regard to the flea problem - Orkin says that they do not have a solution to kill flea eggs. Instead they use a solution that kills only the adult fleas, thereby leaving the eggs to hatch all over your house. They told me to wait two weeks for the hatching of the eggs and for the adults to die. Meantime, the eggs are hatching and the fleas still live in the clothes and furniture. As for the bedbugs - on the first day they apply the Orkin method, I saw five dead bedbugs. The method had to effect on the eggs or the hidden areas of the rooms that the bedbugs lurk and hide. A week later their where more bedbugs. Orkin Customer Service center put you on hold and call you back whenever they see fit. The technicians are overworked and they have more customers than technicians. The technician missed my follow-up appointment. In other words, they never showed. I am being eaten alive by bugs ORKIN! I found THE HOME METHODS LIKE RAID foogers and bedbugs solution to keep the begs away temporarily, as well as kill the eggs for weeks. I do not recommend Orkin. I think they ride on their National Brand name, but their solutions are out-dated. These pests are evolving and fighting for their survival. Orkin is not one that is ahead of the game. This is my opinion. I will look for other solutions.

Overall, okay.
Description of Work: Felt really pressured to purchase their year-long contract. Which I did. Big mistake. It only took one visit to solve the problem. Mice coming into the house. Technician stuffed any possible entry with steel wool. Set a few poison bait traps. Never caught anything.All of this I could have done myself if I hadn't thought it was a greater problem than it was (this was for a rental house and the tenant was overly hysterical and dramatic about the "problem"). Anyway, am now out over $300 for very little. Live and learn.

I recommended them. I have an ongoing contract with them for termites. The first year you pay for all the work they do and the main thing is to keep it just that way. They came for their yearly inspection. Last year it was a$188 and the year before that when they did the initial stuff it was $1500. They are very knowledgeable about termites. They know termites and they know their habits and so forth and so on. They were able to tell quickly that it at one time it had compromised the house and that was before I lived here. They said it was not happening now and that’s the way we want to keep it. The guy who comes out to do my service is John Murray and he would give you his cell phone number and his office number. He is very knowledgeable and polite. He is not pushy and he tells you what you need to know. The thought of having termites is just horrendous. They were doing a very complete job the first year. $188 for a year is like an insurance policy.
Description of Work: I used the service of Orkin Pest Control for termites early this year.

The job went fine. They came over and looked at the place and did the work. So far I have not seen any signs of the termites. I would rate them little lower than excellent. I would still rate them an A because I have not seen any termites so far. They were good overall. I will use them again in the future if needed.
Description of Work: I used Orkin Pest Control for termite problem. They put some cement around the foundation of the house due to a termite problem. They put the pest aside in there.

I got an estimate from them over the phone and then I used them. They were fine. They were very professional. They did what they were supposed to do. They took care of us. The price they charged is the same as others are charging. I would recommend them to others mainly because of their professionalism. They have not eradicated the problem yet, but that was the first time I have used them. They were very responsive and punctual.
Description of Work: I used Orkin Pest Control three months ago.

We contacted Orkin because we were extremely unsatisfied with our previous provider of pest control. We were looking for a company that was more proactive in pest prevention as much as control. Orkin made a very good first impression with a very thorough assessment of the house and set traps (individual snap traps, glue traps and tin cats) For the most part they have been punctual for their appointments however they did miss one and then inform us that we would have to wait a week to reschedule (I was not happy.) We have been consistently catching 1-2 mice over the course of the 3 months intervals between service. They have identified entry points into the house that I subsequently sealed however we were still having persistent problems. They scheduled someone to come and look at the crawl space under the family room to try and identify where the mice might be gaining entry which I really appreciated they then sealed a hole that they had found. Net net is we have stuck with them and things seem to be improving after they sealed the crawl space, but this time of year is the true test so the jury is still out.
Description of Work: We have a problem with mice, they also provide bug/spider control.

I have a contract with them and they come quarterly. They come and do a thorough check and I can call them back as often as I need them. They will notify you in advance of your appointment and they are very prompt. They are pretty good and I will continue to use them in the future. They check everywhere that I ask them to check.

It was very good. They not only check the crawl space, which many pest control companies wouldn't do, but they check the entire house when they visit.
Description of Work: They made an annual service call to inspect for pests and insects.

Overall, the service went well. I had found them through another company on the List, Western Pest Services. They offered me a 5% discount. They will come out and provide services as needed throughout the year. The price was very much in the same ballpark as others that I had received estimates from. They were also very knowledgeable.
Description of Work: They provided termite services in my private residence. I didn't have any active termites at this time, but had prevention work done.
