Corey was great like always!
Very professional and personable!!
Jim Peterson always does a great job calling in advance when he plans to come by based on their schedule. Always pleasant, and timely. I wouldn’t want anyone else doing the job! Thanks for a great service!
I could not for the life of me get rid of these house ants. I tried small town folks but knew I had to just bite the bullet and call a big business. They got me an appt next day where they inspected the home for both bugs and mold. They provided me with a quote but wasn’t pushy at all. He immediately got rid of…
Jimmy does a great job and is great with my animals.
Jim is always courteous of our time and of any problems that we may have. Of the 15 yrs or so of being an Orkin customer, he’s by far the best technician we have had.
Always pleasant, great service, always goes above and beyond. Jim is my guy!
Jim was very professional and explained everything he was doing. Did a great job

Jim and Avery were very professional and polite as always. They asked about any problems we may have had and took care of them. 10/10 experience every visit!
We have had great service with Orkin. Our Orkin Pro Jim Peterson is very helpful with answering my questions and he responds in a timely manner.
Jimmy does an excellent job when he comes to spray our house and yard every other month. He is always very friendly and efficient.
Will was very knowledgeable regarding how to get rid of my invasion of "December Ants"!! He answered all my questions too.
Our pest control tech Gavin Ozmun is one of the most professional, thorough, and polite techs they have. Super personable, explains everything he's doing, answered all my questions and works extremely quickly! If there's anyone I can personally recommend it's definitely Gavin!
Indoor inspect treatment. Done by Carl Shulka. He does a fantastic job every time. Also does my sons and daughters homes.
Cory Sinnwell is the best! Super friendly and professional with excellent service! Highly recommend!
We have had Orkin service monthly for over 35 years. There have been a few issues over the years but were always addressed courteously and professionally. Our current technician, Cory Sinnwell, is a pleasure to talk to and does everything necessary to work around our schedules each month to get the service completed in a timely manner.
Brett was very professional and came the same day I called
We have had excellent service from Byron. He is informative and always helpful with our bug and past problems.
