Description of Work: Treated inside and outside of home on initial visit. Contract was for every 2 months. All seemed fine until I requested to have the inside of my home treated again due to continual bug issues. Promises were made on several occasions to correct any issues. Everytime a date and time was agreed upon, I was stood up time and time again. Exterminator would evade all set appointments to treat inside the home. After the fact, he would leave messages saying he came by, sorry I wasn't home, but he treated the outside anyway knowing full well that was not the appt. date or time. Finally, I had enough and ended service when he pulled another similar stunt in order to keep taking my money.

Description of Work: Orkin has been great, at $77 every two months, with outdoor treatment (had clover mites when I moved in a year ago) and indoor treatment (no real problems there since Orkin laid down additional insulation in the attic that is treated with Borox at around $1500; I wanted additional insulation as the existent insulation was the minimum required of the builder and the insect-repellant borax insulation was a wonderful plus) and a free annual inspection of attic. I hired Orkin last Fall after firing another exterminator I had hired the previous Spring, whom I let go due to unsatisfactory service. I am very happy with Orkin, and would highly recommend the local Orkin affiliate here in Roanoke.

We bought a new home and the previous owner had a contract for termite inspection annually. They had treated the home ~10 years prior and the owner had no issues but owner had opted to pa $200 each year instead of $1000s for infestation if she needed to start over. We called to set up appointment and the Secretaryt was rude and not helpful. We wanted information about transferring contract and she said we didn't have enough time, the contract had expired and she didn't know if she could get a rep out. Luckily a rep was able to come and do inspection. He was very courteous, friendly and answered my questions. He was unable to answer the financial ones and recommended calling the Secretary. When I did she got snippy about why we were past the date and hadn't paid. She didn't take the time to ask questions to understand the move prior to rudely telling me what she couldn't do. We did not continue the contract. To be fair the rep that came out was very friendly and the company does good work- as evidenced by the time that had passed since the last treatment. To my husband and I though, customer service is a high priority and the secretary's attitude and treatment tipped the scales negatively. If she had been as helpful as the rep, this would have been an A-B review.

We only used them once. They were way more expensive than the people I am using now. None of the bugs died; they just made them run around. I don't think the man did a thing when he was here. I think he only made it worst.

Initially, I was quite pleased with Orkin, and they were our pest control treatment service for a number of years. What caused me to shift over to Terminix, was that their service took a nose dive, after the technician that serviced my home, left them. Their service after that point became very spotty, and left me dissatisfied. When I priced them out for termite prevention services, vs. Terminix, their overall price was higher, so it was a no-brainer to switch service providers

They had not been showing up for over a month. Apparently, the service tech had some health problems. I spoke with the service manager and they offered a month for free.
Description of Work: I have a regular service plan. They come and provide spraying, treatments, etc.
