Orkin Pest Control

They were so rude and obnoxious that we canceled all future appointments after the first visit.

I've been with them since 1971 they do great work.

They were very courteous in setting up the appointment. The inspection was free and their recommended estimate was reasonable - it was similar to one that charged me for the inspection. Their materials are also very well organized and helpful. Since the inspection didn't show any thing, I opted not to go with a preventive plan that they recommended. If I have a problem, I'll definitely call them.

Service man arrives on time and treats the house inside and out. Main problems were silverfish, spiders, etc. No infestations. Appearance of household insects greatly reduced.

My experience with Orkin has been great since John became our tech several years ago. John is conscientious, professional, punctual, and polite. He always gets the job done.

Our technician, Derek Flynn, is always on time, polite and does a thorough job. He is considerate of the fact that we have a pet, as well as a small child. He always wears shoe covers inside the house. Since we have hired Orkin, we rarely have any pest control issues. Then when we do, we have Derek's cell phone number to contact him directly so that the problem can be taken care of.

They spray the first time. Only a spot spray. Each follow up visit they just sprinkle around the house.

So far I am pleased with them. They came when they said they would. I also signed a bug contract in addition to the termite contract.

Very POOR experience overall. Sometimes they simply skipped the monthly inspection until I reminded them to do it. I also had to remind them to perform the annual interior inspection. Then, as the expiration date approached, they did not contact us to renew the services. I did not realize that the contract had expired until recently, when I contacted them to find out what had happened to their services. I realize that I should have been keeping track of the expiration date, but wouldn't you think that a company that really wants your business would remind you that it was time to renew the contract? I would NEVER recommend Orkin to anyone else. I think it's a shoddy, fly-by-night operation, pretty much a con.

INITIAL TREATMENT PERFORMED THE FOLLOWING MORNING. ONGOING TREATMENTS ARE CONTRACTED TO BE DONE MONTHLY FOR ONE YEAR. THE COST OF THE MONTHLY TREATMENTS IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE AMOUNT PAID.

FRIENDLY SERVICE, WILL COME OUT ON THE OFF MONTH IF YOU ARE HAVING A PROBLEM AT NO CHARGE.

THE WORK WAS DONE AS SCHEDULED WITH TWO FOLLOW-UP VISITS TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED.

WE HAVE HAD POOR TECH'S IN THE PAST, BUT OUR CURRENT TECH, JOHN, DOES A GREAT JOB. I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU BE PRESENT SO NEED CAN BE SPECIFIC RATHER THEN SPRAY GOING WHERE NOT NEEDED, AND NEEDED AREAS NOT BEING TREATED. PRICE IS HIGH FOR US AS WE HAVE LITTLE NEED, APPROXIMATELY TWO MINUTES WORTH OF SPRAYING. BUT, OVER THE YEARS, SERVICE HAS SHOWN TO BE VERY EFFECTIVE IN REDUCING WASPS IN AREA. PRICE SHOWN IS MONTHLY COST.

REPRESENTATIVE CAME OUT AND TOLD ME THAT SINCE HE COULD NOT TREAT UNDER CERTAIN PARTS OF THE HOUSE THAT THEY DID NOT THINK THAT THEY COULD COMPLETELY ELIMINATE TERMITES. TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT WARRANTY THE WORK AND RECOMMENDED ANOTHER COMPANY. VERY HONEST UP FRONT.

PRICE IS PER MONTH. THEY'VE DONE GOOD WORK, RESCHEDULED FOR ME BECAUSE OF GUESTS WITH NO DIFFICULTY. VERY PLEASED

HE INSISTED ON GETTING INTO THE HOME FOR AN ESTIMATE. HE COULD NOT TELL ME WHAT HE WAS LOOKING FOR IN THE HOUSE. THIS TURNED ME OFF ON THE SERVICE OR WHAT THE PRICE DIFFERENCE WAS. THE ONLY ANT ACTIVITY WAS FOUND IN A FENCE POST.

THE PERSON IN THE OFFICE WAS VERY HELPFUL, BUT SHE USED SCARE TACTICS AND TOLD ME THAT NO EXTERMINATORS TREAT FOR BED BUGS. SHE SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO RESEARCH THE INFORMATION ON MY OWN. I SPOKE WITH MY MOTHER IN WISCONSIN AND SHE CALLED HER LOCAL ORKIN BRANCH AND THEY STATED THAT THEY DO TREAT FOR BED BUGS.

KEEP RECORDS OF ALL PAYMENTS. YOU MAY NEED THEM. THE LOCAL COMPANY IS ***NOT*** DISHONEST, BUT THE NATIONAL BILLING COMPUTER MAKES MISTAKES.

OUR SERVICE PERSON WAS KRISTI VANMETER AND SHE WAS RELENTLESS IN HELPING US WITH OUR BEE PROBLEM . SHE CAME BACK UNTIL OUR BEE PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND WE HAVE HAD EXCELLENT SERVICE FROM HER CONSISTENTLY. SHE IS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND SHE GETS THE JOB DONE RIGHT. WE USED THEM IN COLUMBUS AND WILL CONTINUE USING THEM HERE IN OUR FREDERICKTOWN HOME. OUR COST IS FOR A 9 MONTH PROGRAM WHICH INCLUDES ELIMINATION OF MOST COMMON HOUSEHOLD PESTS.

THEY ARE PUNCTUAL AND THEY ANSWER MY QUESTIONS.

SALES REP ACTUALLY CALLED BACK TO FOLLOW UP AFTER INITIAL QUOTE AND EVEN CALLED BACK A SECOND TIME OFFERING TO LOWER THE PRICE IN ORDER TO GET THE JOB. WAS VERY CONFIDENT THEY WOULD BE COMPETENT.

MIKE MOLLET DID OUR WORK AND WERE KEEPING HIM AS WE MOVE INTO A NEW HOME. THEIR SERVICE IS GREAT AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ORKIN.

I HAVE HAD A CONTRACT WITH ORKIN FOR 4 YEARS. I CONTINUE TO HAVE A TERMITE PROBLEM THAT BECOMES INCREASINGLY WORSE EACH YEAR. YEARLY INSPECTIONS NEVER REVEAL A PROBLEM AND THEN 2 WEEKS LATER I HAVE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF TERMITES IN MY HOME SWARMING. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS HAVE GONE UNNOTICED BY THE SULLIVANT AVE OFFICE. THEY TRY TO DO AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE TO CORRECT PROBLEMS. IN MY EXPERIENCE THEY ALSO DO NOT SHOW UP FOR APPOINTMENTS. IT WAS NOT UNTIL I CALLED THE ATLANTA HOME OFFICE THAT I GOT THEIR ATTENTION. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO A FRIEND.

SALESMEN MAKE PROMISES THAT TECHS CAN'T FULFILL. BE PREPARED TO WAGE A LETTER/PHONE BATTLE TO OBTAIN PROMISED SERVICES. POOR FOLLOW THROUGH. POOR COMMUNICATION WITHIN COMPANY. HIGH TURNOVER WITHIN COMPANY. BE PREPARED TO FOLLOW TECH TO INSURE WORK IS DONE CORRECTLY AND THOROUGHLY. IF THE WORK IS DONE THE RESULTS ARE GOOD BUT BE PREPARED TO WORK HARD FOR THOSE RESULTS.

WONDERFUL SERVICE I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM. THEIR PRICES WERE JUST RIGHT.
