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
Orkin referred my job to a subcontractor who did subpar and incomplete work, and Orkin took no responsibility or accountability for the shoddy job. Horrible experience, I would never recommend them.
Pros and cons! I worked for Orkin for 11 years. Orkin itself as a pest control company is an excellent pest company. They will get rid of your pest problems! With that being said their integrity level for work personal is very low. I hurt my back 2xs on the job at Orkin, as I was working my 17hr days. The 3rd time I hurt it I was in the way out the door to go to work. I slipped and hurt it again in the same place I previously hurt it. Only this time my injury was severe! Well long story short I had to have surgery on my back... read more
extremely disappointed...the service person was lovely...the company policy...not so. I was charged $325 for a half hour visit, and the setting of 3 wood traps. I will never use them again. and I called to cancel 2 days ago and no one posted the cancellation. then I called today - the second time - and no one answered or called back when I left a message. so, Orkin, no no no
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. I just bought my first home and really needed someone to not only check over my entire home, but spray, trap, Caulk, and plug up any places where mice and bugs could get it. The women in the initial call said they can send someone to do that, plus do a wood density test and a moisture test. All these services cost me 392$. ONE man named Jason showed up to my house on August 19th. I was under the impression he was going to do all the things previously listed, and he did NOT. He barley sprayed the ho... read more
