Worst company! they scam you and overcomplicate their explanations because yo are desperate due to pests! Charged me almost $1000 an hour for work. The 21-page report they presented me made me think the job would be complicated. Two guys, and 2 1/2 hours later (including a lunch break and they were done. I blame myself too for not understanding the work they planned to do. Do not use!

These guys are everything that is bad about big corporations. Take a couple extra minutes and find someone local. Despite what Orkin tells you, THERE ARE EXTERMINATORS WHO WILL GIVE YOU PRICING BEFORE THEY SHOW UP. They also told me that what I knew to be termites were, in fact, termites by simply sending them a picture. Tony's Pest Killers, in case you have termites in Chicago.

Orkin had a tech come out to my address and only service the outside of my building. I called to speak with a manager and he told me that services were still rendered which is unacceptable because the tech did not spray the inside of my apt yet I was charged. Unacceptable and horrible service. I will not be using them again.

I am still awaiting a call from a manager, as told I would within 24 to 48 hours because I canceled service September 27th. I expect a full refund per the Orkin Guarantee, but I am still being billed! I am on autopay and now being told I still owe the balance that's due October 9th for $82.75, even though I've had no service in October, and I paid $71.25 for September, and a whopping $223 to start it in August!! The service has been ineffective with my pest problems, and the technicians either are not covering what was pr... read more

They do the absolute minimum and if you don't stay on top of them. They'll do nothing and give a receipt. I need to keep pointing out the problems. Which is fine .:. But when they see stuff and don't do anything unless they're told just means they're horrible business and try to do the absolute minimum. Currently loving to another company

The Oak Park Illinois office manager and inspector were not responsive. I had two appointments a week a part. A man was supposed to check my termite traps. He didn't show up. When I called the office I was told his car broke down. That was the first appointment. I had waited more than 2 hours for an 8-10 AM appointment. I rescheduled to today. I have been on the phone with 3 different people for a total of 45 minutes and still no service and no information. I never used this location before. I will not use that location ev... read more

I arranged an appointment for cockroach treatment between orkin and my tenant here in Lincolnwood. They offered an extended plan that consists of regular monthly appointments, but tell the customer that you can discontinue the service after the 2nd appointment. Orkin gave the tenant and I an appointment window of four to six and I showed up at three pm. I called the company just before 6:00 p.m. to ask when they would show up since it was getting late and I was told they had already been out there, but the person answering t... read more

Horrible experience. Made my initial call on a Tuesday, finally on Thursday the inspector, Dominique, called me up to make an appointment, which could not be until the following Monday at 9:00am. At 9:20 on Monday, I receive a call that she is leaving the office and will be there in 20 minutes. At 9:55, after I took 2 minute bathroom back, I saw 2 missed calls and promptly returned them. She informed me she could not come back for a few days, but would call me that afternoon to reschedule. Never happened. 2 days later I... read more
