My service agent was extra polite, walked through my entire house inside and out, and answered all of my questions. Unlike one of their major competitors, Orkin makes and keeps appointments with me which I greatly appreciate.

After the first spray a very minimal amount of bugs were around my light fixture outside barely could see them. Very knowledgeable Orkin associate. The home inspection was nice didn’t know that came with the deal. From your home inspection that part can get kinda pricey depending on what your home needs… you don’t…

I have had several interactions with this company. While, I am happy with the work that they do, I don't feel like they have consideration and value for my time. We go from a 2 hour windows that turns into a 5 or 6 hour day. I can't get anything else done because I spend the day waiting for them to arrive.
