Orkin does my termite service and I was scared they were back. Your inspector Bill did a great job going through and explaining everything . He even had someone come out and retreat everything no charge. I love Orkin.

Brooke Henne on Orkin

When I called I specified I wanted the wasp nests down and gone and that they needed to send a truck with a ladder. They did neither. They sent a tech out (I think his name was Darryl) who showed up with tags still on his shoes and his fly down. Darryl could've raised my home owner's insurance by recklessly falling on my property after not bringing a truck with a ladder. I can only imagine how many OSHA violations are in this picture - no PPE to protect him from the wasps or the potential for the liquid he was spraying to come back down on him. He literally drove onto my grass and stood on his vehicle and thought that was safe. I paid $350 for a clown to come to my property and spray the nests and leave, which was also an outrageous price. You're lucky I didn't call OSHA or the BBB. Never again.

Had another great result with the check for the disgusting mice. They did not touch the trap inside, but they really tackled the one outside- nice…head them off at the pass! There is not a trace of droppings anywhere in our house anymore, and that is a wonderful feeling. The rep that always comes out (I think his name is Dave- I should know it by now….but anyway, he is awesome. You can see that he likes his job , as he always has a great attitude and he’s
knowledgeable , which is appreciated. I am so very happy that I made the switch from terminix to Orkin.
