I don't even know where to start with this company. I called to reschedule service, I made sure to tell the customer service agent that nobody would be able to open the door because my parents are elderly and I will not be able to be there. The technician still showed up 20 minutes before his appointment, never called me, this property has 100 units, so I am not sure who he called because he put in his notes nobody was home??? I am just wondering who he was calling. He said he fumigated certain floors, the mailroom which ... read more
Asked for one service, kept showing up and charging me monthly even when I was not there. A scam!
orkin pest control is a big old name but their branch in san bernardino office seems not functional well to me. One of their termite inspector came over recently, he only checked at the spot (termites) where i pointed it out to him, then no where else in the house, patio or the garage he checked for termits. He then gave me a quote for the whole house including the garage. by the way the garage size was measured bigger than it is, untill i spoke out. I called orkin to send me a second inspector to do a full inspection bc i... read more
Dear potential consumer. Do not use Orkin. As I sit here writing this, I am putting the pieces back together from my home being burglarized while I had my SECOND fumigation with your company. Your employee, sent me a TEXT saying, "there's been a breakin, go to your house." What kind of cryptic message is that to not then call with more details? I will not name the employee here, but it is Southern California Orkin. I was advised to call the police (of couse i did!) with no follow through from the company. No call, no check i... read more
I changed my review. They are a scam. They charged me for monthly service less than two weeks after my initial service when in as told by the tech it would be every 3 months. I have a as told spiders would be gone, but they're still there along with all the webs he said he removed. Horrible. On top of all that the termite inspector was late and I had to reschedule. Use someone local that you can trust not this scam.
A family member paid $500.00 to have Orkin inspect our home for bed bugs The $500.00 was paid in full 6 days before the inspection. We subsequently received a bill and called Orkin. We then received a second billing notice and again called Orkin asking for a reduction in the bill - no amount stated. Essentially Orkin said no reduction in any amount.
Be prepared to have to constantly call these "technicians" back weekly because your issue will not get solved. Orkin is not thorough, misdiagnoses pest problems, and will be very negligent to your pest issue. The other night, I saw what I was told was a mouse. Decided to give Orkin a call and their resolution were flimsy glue boards ("strategically placed") that I could have purchased myself from the hardware store. Although the technicians were very nice, nothing was caught, and I continued to see the mouse. I began receivi... read more
I haven't contracted them personally . It was a service provided by an apparent complex (Ava Studio City) I lived in. Representative came twice for two different reasons. First one was roaches. We left a comment in the request, that we have a baby, and we are concerned about chemicals. And eventually it ended up with the chemicals placed on one of our baby's toys, which always is being sucked by the baby Second time we requested the service because something was biting our baby. Same person came without letting us know, and... read more
Orkin, as a company, is so frustrating. Upon starting my "contract" it was very unclear in terms of whether it was actually a "contract," and how to exit it, if need be. (We had a seasonal summer need for pest control but it tapers in the winter and we wanted to cut back costs.) The procedure for exiting the agreement or "contract" was that you had to call and request a "manager" to call you back. No one that answers the phone apparently can actually do anything beyond set up appointments. I called a few times only to be... read more
