Reviews

What customers say

Some reviewers praise technicians’ courtesy and professionalism, while others report poor follow-up, missed or badly timed visits, and pest issues that remained unresolved. One customer describes a worker arriving without notice at 5:30 a.m. at a tenant-occupied property and says the insect problem was still present afterward.

Very bad experience. My suggestion is to use another company. The service was terrible, the price was high and the follow-up was nonexistent. They showed up at a tenant occupied property at 5:30am without any notice. Tenants thought it was a prowler. Police were called, came out and informed worker they can't access someone's property at that hour without consent. The service or rather lack of service left me having to call another company the following week. Whatever Corky's did or again rather didn't do left the house with the same insect issue as well as mad tenants. I called the office to request a discount. I was told only one individual there can authorize that. I left her 3 messages and never received a call back. Lousy service and total lack of professionalism all around.

Corky's service and results are very good. Our technician is friendly, knowledgeable and considerate. The products they use work. Over the past years we have only had to ask to have a particular situation to be taken care of....and Corky's did. The only reason this review is 4 stars rather than 5 is that the cost is becoming prohibitive.

I love Corkys. They are reliable and provide the best customer care. I trust them to keep my home pest free while making sure my pets suffer no ill effects. They have a customer for life in me!

I live by the rule "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" so I try to not leave negative reviews - but after our two month experience with Corky's I just have to say something to hopefully save others from the same horrible experience we had. Not one thing has improved or even changed at our home since they started servicing our property. But worse, the customer service is just absolutely horrible. Their team members often showed up outside their service windows or didn't show up at all. The inspector showed up the first day completely unprepared to inspect the house - he didn't have any of the tools or suit to inspect under the house. And today we canceled after, once again, they failed to show up for an appointment to service the house.

Technician was very professional and courteous. Did a great job removing cob webs and spraying around property. Thank you

The technician, Andrew… Was very professional and efficient. The business aspects of the “new” Corkys corporation is not very good at all. Lacks communication to customers, and has become very expensive.

Boris Taylor

Hugo was great! He send in advance several texts to notify on exactly arrival time. When he arrived the he asked me if I have any questions or concerns regarding service. After completing he texted me detailed description on the performed service. Thank you Hugo!!

Beware. Do not use Corky. They used to be the best. I used Corky for years without a problem. Now they are dishonest. They said their terms were the same. Come to find out they are not. You are locked in for a year or you pay $199 to cancel, You are stuck to pay for a service you do not want. And the chemical they used doesn’t work. They had to come and spray several times to get rid of the ants. Hire at your own risk

0 is more like it. I canceled and appointment in Feb 2024 due to storms. It rained frequently so I waited until May. I was charged $150 more. I called frequently to have my fence reattach but no response. Due to very high winds the lock bracket is bent and a slat is off. I expect that no one came to repair it because $2090 was stolen from my storage area. Also there were things taken from a cabinet in the house and a tool leaning against the wall. I have not heard back from the company regarding any of these complaints. My question now since you are serious about customer service, will I be able to be reimbursed. There is also new spots of terminate damage this year. I'm afraid to have your workers come to my house even though I have a 4 year warranty. I bet your employees are not bonded. That would be great to know for my reports. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks

We had to get 2 door frames repaired from dry rot in order to sell our house. The other realtor mixed things up and Corky’s worked with me to clear things up. Two men showed up on time and ready to work. They were very polite abs did a great job. Highly recommend.
