They deserve zero stars. I called main number and got a quote to treat rodent issue (rats). $395. When they got here I asked the guy if he was gonna go up on the roof to seal entry spaces which other companies identified. The technician said "I don't have a ladder tall enough in my truck and it was too high". I started laughing. I said isn't this your job to treat rodents? He said you'll have to speak to my mgr. So I did. He started quoting extra charges above and beyond 3 entry points the size of a quarter. This was ... read more

I have been with Orkin since 2014, and I signed up for monthly service and paid annually. We hired Orkin for mice control! Everything is fine until Orkin changed its service rap. in my area summer 2017. The new service rep. is Bharat. Bharat did not do his diligence to check the crawl space every month during his visit, and it leads to a bad massy rodent infestation in the crawl space. I asked Bharat to clean up the mass and rodent droppings but he refused. He said it will be extra charge for clean up. I contacted Orkin offi... read more

Zero star if Possible. We are a couple living in an apartment complex. We found a possible roach on our glue trap last Wednesday. Even though we haven't seen a live one since, I insist on getting pest control involved. Our leasing office helped us get an appointment with Orkin for that Friday. After reading orkin's preparation sheet, we figured that clearing out our cabinets won't be an easy job. So we went ahead and rent a storage unit to store the stuff. Since the moving would take days, we called in last week to res... read more

Orkin, an absolutely horrible experience. Everything went wrong. We purchased their service and paid for a start-up fee and on going maintenance. They first send us two guys, very polite but clueless, they were not adequately trained. They put half dozen traps. 6 days later and after 4 visits, 3 of which were no shows (they gave us a 2 hours window but nobody showed up and no warning). So we ended up waiting 6 hours for nothing. After 5 visits, the smell of a decaying animal was absolutely unbearable and prooved that they ha... read more

Stay Away! Save your money and hire a company that knows what they are doing. Let me start by saying we had rats in our attic. Orkin came and did the initial rat "inspection and proofing" but refused to go into the crawl space or the attic except for laying a few traps right next to the entrance (even though I specifically requested someone to inspect the attic and the manager guaranteed they would.) They caught one rat and then basically disappeared until I called the office to complain. Then the inspector and technician ca... read more

I want to begin by stating that Orkin is the absolute worst!!! The representative who came by was a statesman. Johnny was his name and he was wonderful. He knew his business, was very prompt and totally businesslike. It was because of him that we decided on his company. He did a thorough inspection of our home and found that we had bedbugs in only one room. He explained how the creatures could migrate and that it would be best to treat the entire home for best results. He even gave us insightful tips on how to eliminate th... read more

I would give them 0 stars if I could. I spoke with the pest controller who would be coming out to see about our budding rat problem (a rat in the garage) on the same day he arrived. Upon arrival, while standing below the front porch, he claimed that he was told he would be dealing with mice, not rats (even though I talked to him over the phone about an hour before) and that he would be leaving immediately unless we signed up for a year long contract that cost $300+ a month. When I told him that was ridiculous, he left immedi... read more

I called Orkin regarding some menacing wood bugs in my home and furniture. The phone rep described that they could provide solutions to the pest concerns, and I scheduled an appointment. Had the rep visit the house but he didn't seem to offer much confidence in his knowledge of the pests. He did want to offer the yearly plan for spot treatment but I needed to know if that doesn't take care of it what are the next steps/options. This rep gave no indication on what to do or how they could do it. He said he would have to consu... read more

Broudy S. We have a rat problem in a detached garage. Called Orkin, they put out traps and the rats ate the bait and the traps did not engage. They came up with all kinds of reasons why they were not catching rats and not looking at the fact that their traps don't work. Orkin's response: these are the only traps we have, so I canceled my contract. Their employees are not that bright, no solutions, just excuses.
