Customer feedback frequently notes courteous, knowledgeable technicians and effective results for ants and general pests. Many reviewers appreciate advance notifications and clear post-service summaries. Some reviews cite rising costs and communication or follow-up issues, including scheduling mix-ups. Experiences vary by technician and service plan.

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.

Scott R Herschleb on Corky's Pest Control

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!

Skip Clark on Corky's Pest Control

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common requests include ants, spiders, roaches, and rodents. Depending on season and conditions, they may also address outdoor pests around structures. Contact the office to confirm if your specific issue is covered. They can recommend one-time or recurring service based on severity.

Ask for any prep instructions when you schedule, such as clearing access to exterior walls or securing pets indoors. For interior treatments, technicians may request access to kitchens, garages, or attics. Share gate codes or tenant contact details to avoid access issues. If you have sensitivities, discuss product options ahead of time.

Frequency depends on pest pressure and property type. Some customers choose periodic maintenance to prevent reinfestations, while others schedule as needed. Technicians can suggest a plan after an inspection. You can adjust intervals if conditions change.

If activity persists, contact the office to discuss next steps and possible follow-up. In many cases, targeted retreatment or adjustments to the service area can resolve lingering issues. Timely communication and photos can help the team assess the situation. Keep records of visit dates and areas treated.

You can call the main line or request a quote on their website. Share your address, pest type, and any access notes to receive accurate scheduling and pricing. The team will outline service scope and timing before the visit. Ask about maintenance options if you prefer ongoing prevention.
