I had Orkin since 2006 and decided, for no reason, to see what another service could provide. They were horrible. Now I'm back. . . .

Original experience was great, they quickly came out to our home and helped with our pest problem. However, the follow-up has been lackluster - after calling the company to find out why we hadn’t heard from them in 3 months (we have regular service) we found out that someone had accidentally typed our phone number…

Orkin was able to set appointment for next day and even showed up early for the appointment. I tried everything to get rid of the flea infestation on my own, but the store bought products did not take care of the problem after several attempts, and I needed professional help.
