Randall was fantastic! He was on time, very thorough, and overall did the best job I've ever seen! Thank you!
I had Orkin since 2006 and decided, for no reason, to see what another service could provide. They were horrible. Now I'm back. . . .
The representative call to schedule the first visit was pretty thorough and they were able to send someone out next day. The technician (?) who came out was personable and easy to talk to. The way he talked us through everything and added in some banter to make it all feel natural was nice, as someone who also…

My Orkin people are always very nice and professional. Always welcome their visits to take care of keeping pests away!
The exterminator arrived on time and I got a text prior to his arrival. He came to the door and asked if I had any thing special I wanted done or just the usual. He was very pleasant and business like.

Devin Dipzinski rocks! Very knowledgeable. I am not happy about corporate. Text me to tell me when they are coming. I called twice to cancel. Twice they said they had it and still sent someone. That part not good! But I got to meet Devin and he instructed and gave the number to the kazoo office. I ever need…
We started service today, Randall was our technician, he was very pleasant, knowledgeable and professional. Great experience hope he will be our technician for future visits.
We’ve had their service a few months ago but cancelled. What a mistake- ants and spiders came rushing back. Called to continue service and they got us right in. Our technician, James, is a very nice man who does a good job!! Highly recommend!

First, the technician entered the house without putting booties on over his outside shoes. My other technicians have worn booties. The technician treated for ants using a powder spray. I noticed a residue all around the edges of the kitchen floor and called to see if it was safe for my small dog. I was told as long…
