Had an issue with carpenter ants this summer. Tried some store ant removal products but they kept coming back. Decided to try Orkin and have been pleased with the results; believe problem has been eliminated. Technicians have been thorough and informative. Learned so much about how the ants live and survive.…

My technician is James Avery and he is one of the sweetest and most honest person I've met in a long time. I can't say enough good things about him but let me tell you, he does his job perfectly and I wouldn't want anyone else. He representants the Orkin company so well they should be proud to have him! Thank you James Avery. See you again real soon!
Jim does great at keeping the bugs out of our office. And he’s always friendly when here.
Kyle was great. He explained the process and performed above my expectations.
Jim provides good service and is reliable and has a good personality.
The mouse & insect prevention are well worth it to me. Jim always does a good job, fast but thorough.
We absolutely love Jim!! We’ve had him for 3 years now. He always listens if we have any concerns, checks all the crawler traps, and makes sure we get the correct next bundle when seasons change!
Jim is amazing! He’s very personable when he comes and makes sure he gets the job done right!

Great service, friendly face. Jim does a great job explaining everything and has a really good knowledge about everything he does.
Jim has always been very efficient, kind, and professional. Our business has never experienced any unwanted bug sightings in the three years I've been with the company so I know the job is also being done thoroughly. Highly recommend their service!
Cory Sinnwell is fantastic. He’s great with the pets, always pleasant and with a smile and goes a great job. He clearly loves what he does. It always makes me smile when I see Cory get out of his truck cause I know he is going to treat my house like it’s his own.
William W. is super professional and helpful. Great guy!
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!
James was very nice and did a great job!
Great service and explanations for the different services 👍 👌
The techs have been friendly, efficient and helpful. However! OFFICE MANAGEMENT could use a shakeup. We get scheduled on days we’ve requested no service. They seem to be unable to schedule service on a regular route. Every billing needs a credit card review (which always goes thru). Our outside service is…
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.
Nick Whitson-Is a great person. Very down to earth and explains everything well.
I used them for 6 years. Every year they raised my annual rate. Even though I had a locked in price for life, with a contract. Every year I had to spend 30 minutes or more on the phone telling them that they were over charging me. Then they would research it and correct it. The last time I called them, they did not…
