Orkin for bat extermination
Clear ✕All 17 Google reviews tagged “Bat extermination”
We called Orkin for termite work since we had a curtain rod fall down from termites that we were unaware if it was termites or something else. Dylan came out and did a through inspection and had his wildlife team come out and install bait stations around the home and on the wall with the activity. While inspecting…
Colin, Josh, Brian and Chris were great in fixing up our house with a bad bat problem. Thank you so much guys.
Dylan with Orkin came out to do a carpenter ant service, and I made him aware that we were having a 3-year-long problem of bats roosting in between cracks of our cedar deck pergola and the soffit and gutters of our house. We had tried everything to mitigate them not roosting there, and the problem was only getting…
Got it done in one day, hot and humid! Explained it all and why. Cleaned up after. Well done.
The work and estimate were clearly explained. The repairs were done quickly. The invoice matched the estimate
Jim Peterson is always excellent and very friendly and reliable!
They were prompt and very thorough. Gave us information outside of what we were having inspected. Very informative. So far, very pleased with all we had done.
Byron Campbell was great to deal with.
The guys who do the actual work do great work. But response from management is atrocious. I've been told on three separate occasions that somebody would be out to finish the bat work I paid for over a year ago, and nobody has ever come. Nobody from management has ever confirmed. And I still have bats. Like I said,…
Workers were friendly and respectful, worked very hard. Added gutter covers
My husband had orkin come out to help with a bat issue we have in a new home we purchased. I appreciated the way Kaelan (hopefully I didn’t butcher his name) explained (in detail) everything that they were going to work on for the day. Sure, this is expected of them. But, some of the techs will come out, be quick,…
I have used Orkin for two exterminations (termite and bat) and after the second will not be a returning customer. After reviewing the work done and learning no bats were present, I immediately sent photos along with an email advising of my dissatisfaction to Chris. He returned my call the following week with advice…
Great service. Our technician is wonderful!
Great experience! Quick and efficient.
They did a great job. The individuals I talked with seemed very knowledgeable and helpful. Only time will tell that the work done today will hold strong for the years to come. But everything seems very thorough and well done. Very responsive and worked with me to get me on their calendar quickly.
I called about my bat friends and they came within a few days to get them out! I am very glad I am working with such nice guys! I will recommend you!
