Randall was very pleasant. He checked mouse traps as needed. The weather is warm and sunny, time to prevent bugs outside frim coming in, spraying outside.. We appreciate you. Thank you, Randall!
Clay did an excellent job treating our home as if it was his own. Very knowledgeable and friendly
I had Orkin since 2006 and decided, for no reason, to see what another service could provide. They were horrible. Now I'm back. . . .
Short answer: Large company that is as unhelpful as it is expensive. Long answer: we had bats and squirrels in our attic and walls. The sales person led us to believe we were getting a full coverage pest control guaranteed for 5 years that would cover all sorts of pests that enter the home. There was also mention of…
Our tech Tim is great!
Excellent service, Jeff was extremely helpful, offered solutions and work will be done within a week. Brian was polite and informative. Highly recommend
They resolved the pest problem I had
They did a thorough job of checking for mice and droppings. Ever since I got Orkin Sheld about theee years ago there have been no more mice. I am happy.
We have a very knowledgeable technician. He's so friendly and puts us at ease with everything he's doing. Reasonable rates. Always on time. They've taken care and are still maintaining our issues. Orkin is the best in my opinion. I recommend Orkin to everyone!!!!!
Tim, my Orkin guy is always responsive and takes care of our homes pest needs. I would recommend him and is company to anyone
Charles was great !
Big shout out to Sean for excellent service today!!!
The young man that came did a good job I think he wasn’t here long. The inspector was more thorough and gave me suggestions as to how to get rid of mice. I am hopeful at this point.
Orkin has been great so far! We love our tech he’s very informative and also just cool to talk to!
Orkin always does a great job. My service guy goes above and beyond. I have had issues with scheduling, but never any problems with my service guy.
Steve was very personable and efficient. He explained everything he did and why.
Orkin has been a pleasure to work with. They have been very helpful with pest control.
On time. Went through the house checking for any signs of invasion got right to it
Brian is knowledgeable and on time every time!!!! Very polite, clean, and listens.
Randall Clark was very knowledgeable and polite. He was here again today and what a nice man! Again a great job! Jeff and Randall both came today for mice ugh!!!!!! They are taking care of the problem. Jeff was able to schedule the work to begin Tuesday. Thank you both!!! No you don’t want photos 😳. They came…
Tim is the best! Very professional and friendly.
Very friendly and competent technician.
I felt that the technician understood my issues and went about taking care of them. He explained everything that he did along the way and asked me additional questions to my satisfaction.I am glad that I decided to go with ORKIN.
I love Orkin!!! They are the best!! My tech is Chris Schoultz and he is good. He knows his stuff!! Answers all my questions and takes care of business. Conversing with him is great. What a good person!!! Thanks Orkin and Chris!!
Very good job started seeing roaches running once the pesticide was applied I think the gentleman name was Brian who was very professional and did a very good job we will definitely have him come out again for a follow up
Very nice and respectful service technicians.
Thorough service. Friendly and communicative interaction
Buy the sticky sheets. I hate the mice
He never even rang the door bell! The man who was here only walked around the outside of the house!
Tim Hand was thorough and professional. Highly recommended him and Orkin.
The results of treatment have been almost perfect. I can call for extra treatment if required. But I say so good so far and thank you.
I am very upset! We are in Florida. I sent a request to you to reschedule our appt to Oct 20. I RECEIVED an email stating it was rescheduled! TODAY I get an email Service was completed today!! WHY? Is there a problem with communication at Orkin? Because of this mistake we did not get an inside service! It needs to be corrected.
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’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!
Great job
Charles is wonderful
Have had excellent service and very professional service
Called to let me know they could be here earlier. Very friendly, great service and super informative. Price is great! Would highly recommend!
As long as my tenant is happy then I am happy… thanks for your service.
I am very proud that I have chosen Orkin pest control to help with my pest issues. Steve was very professional and respectful of my situation. I am very grateful and thankful.
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…
Very helpful, good communication and all their help is much appreciated!!
Orkin got red of centapeeds & bees under ground that stung me wile cutting the grass!
We have used Orkins services for many years. Their work is quite good, and the service technicians are professional, on time, and very helpful. I can recommend their work.
Professional, efficient and kind
Charles is very knowledgeable and helpful citing our problems.
Excellent service and friendly worker.
Did a terrific job of looking over everything and treating
The technician is very personal and does a good job!
We trust Orkin. They have treated our home over the past year and we have significantly less pests. We appreciate having a service professional like Tim, that we are on a regular first name basis with.
Always professional, great service!
What a joke might as well just buy a can of spray they definitely have no idea how to catch a shrew
Always friendly & on time
Consummate Professionals
Prompt and friendly service Quick to respond
Orkin has done a good job since service day number one..... I have caught so many mice on the box traps it's amazing. I hope if there's more Orkin will rid of them for me for I am so very terrified of miçe and don't like cats
Service is thorough and excellent.
Randall was very professional and helpful with explaining the process and every step to have a successful treatment plan. I look forward to working with Orkin!!
Fast response. Technician came the same day did a thorough inspection and found the issue.
Took time to explain their service and we’re very timely
Paid $282 to get rid of one mouse and the mouse is still there.
Very thorough. They patched up holes and took their time to inspect three levels of my townhouse.
Charles is a very knowledgeable technician, that has no fear!
I’m very happy with my Orkin service. My service person is friendly and polite, and always explains what he’s going to do and has done when he’s at my place. And he catches a lot of mice for me!
Did a great job! Promptly placed traps and inspected the house with great attention to detail
Great experience. Professional and thorough!
Dustin was excellent he explained everything well did a thorough job both inside and out. He is a credhe it to your business
Tim is on time friendly and does a good job.
Love Charles work thank you 💖
As usual, Tim did an excellent job. He's very thorough and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Tim and Orkin.
Very professional and friendly people. Price was very reasonable compared to other brands.
My Orkin technician is excellent. The best technician I have ever had. He not only treats the conditions but he is solution oriented ! A rare breed these days. He also provides me with monthly updates.
Steve was my service professional and he was attentive to my questions, answered them thoroughly and was sensitive to my fears. Steve knows his job and I trust him. I’m happy that I called this company and they sent Steve.
Chris was great! So thankful he could come out same day I called!
Gnats swarming out of control for 2 months
I bought a new home in February of 2022, hired Orkin as our service provider because they’re reputable. They came through and laid traps (which are still currently lying around my home), got a monthly plan going for $74 and some change a month, when I first got the plan started they said they included mosquito…
Tyree was very knowledgeable and just as friendly. He took the time to explain what he was doing and why. Made me feel that I was in good hands as I dislike mice and eradicating them. This is the second time I’ve used Orkin and I was even more impressed with their services - mostly due to Tyree and his patience with…
He was very professional, courteous and informative
Tim was awesome and professional, very knowledgeable and friendly. Happily explained everything he was doing and eager to answer all of our questions and concerns. The entire experience has been a positive one and happy to be working with them.
I want to give Charles from the Kalamazoo area a shot out. He was very nice informative to me and my children. He was thoughtful and respectful. Most pest control workers aren’t truthful and caring but Charles came through with the save for this go round.
Very courteous and well informed. We were having gopher problems in our yard and he did a thorough job and explained what he did. He was on time and we were kept informed as to when they would come. Would highly recommend!
Tech who came to the home was friendly and helpful. Placed several traps and encouraged us to call back within a few weeks for a follow up. I have my fingers crossed that there will be no more scurrying sounds in the ceiling soon!
I am extremely happy with my service.
Communication could be better.
Absolutely horrible customer service. I scheduled service over the phone with the expectation that in a few weeks they would call me back to check in. When they did call me I canceled the rodent extermination but decided to do the mosquito spray once more. Everything was fine. Then I tried to cancel. Over and over…
Very friendly and helpful. A lot of information that I wasn't aware of. Helping us to treat for reducing our box elder and stick bug problem.
Always pleasant and professional. Took care of mouse issue in only 2 visits. Stays on top of wasp/hornets outside. Recommend!
Good communication and arrived on time.
John was fantastic and was very thorough in treating our home for ants and mice. He explained everything very well. We hope he regularly services our home in the upcoming follow up service calls.
Very professional service, expertly provided. Can’t say enough good things.
Dustin was very professional and communicative. He set great expectations for my service and was respectful of my home. Dustin was great with my pets and kids. I think one of my dogs wanted to be his new assistant. ☺️
Very friendly and professional.
They was quick and nice did a good job
Thank you. I have a deep fear of mice. You are always careful to remove them so I don't see
Excellent on-time professional service!
Very professional service. The employee who came in our home was very polite and respectful. He treat d our home like I think he would his own. We were very impressed with the way we were taken care of.
Home inspected and traps set.
The technician did a great job. He was very thorough and took care of all of our concerns.
Tyler was awesome and hooked us up. I called at 11pm on a Friday and they were out Saturday at noon
I have regular appointments to upkeep my protection against bugs and critters. In the summer, this is mostly bugs and the winter, Orkin has been particularly helpful with mice.
