Glad I chose Orkin to do my services. I got fast, friendly service. CORY explained everything to me. Thanks again Orkin and Cory!
The guy who came was a smart gentlemen! Tries to do what he can! And very intelligent! Don’t hope to see him much lol. 😂 But I’m glad he came!
Jim is very nice and works with me when I have an issue
Byron C. was a pleasure to deal with, as usual. Very knowledgeable, thorough, professional and friendly. Took care of a multitude of clover mites trying to take over my outdoor space. Highly recommend this exceptional young man for your pest control needs.
Always pleasant, great service, always goes above and beyond. Jim is my guy!
William takes good care of my needs, and explains everything so well. He's polite and respectful.
ABSOLUTE RIP OFF. We informed them what we suspected and needed done (fleas) and they did not treat for the 1 pest we believed we had. Our house was treated with a general extermination. Covering things that we did NOT have issues with and not treating our issue. Had an inspection scheduled and the person walked in…
Jim is friendly and knowledgeable always dies a great job.
Jimmy does an excellent job when he comes to spray our house and yard every other month. He is always very friendly and efficient.
Carl Shulka is very professional and personal to deal with. Takes time to answer any questions you may have.
Carl is always thorough, knowledgeable, and professional. He makes a not-so-fun situation manageable, and we wouldn’t want to work with anyone else.
Jim is the best
Jim Peterson is always excellent and very friendly and reliable!
So far so good it’s just been the first day. ORKIN was great at getting to my place in a timely fashion.
We are very satisfied with Orkin’s service, pest control. I especially appreciate how well Cory Sinnwell handles our dog. Great service and great customer service!
Cory Sinnwell does a great job! He’s very friendly and very knowledgeable! Would highly recommend him!
Byron Campbell was great to deal with.
jim was grear
Excellent service The technician was very nice and explained the process . He did a Excellent job!! Thank you
They aways call before. Do a great job controlling our pest problems. Always provide detailed report of the services they performed. We had a problem with Japanese lady beetles and the extra spray service worked wonders.
Jim is always amazing, very professional, I recommend him for anybody
Great service
Jim is always great making sure there’s been no issues and always asks if there are concerns.
Very friendly and explained in detail the service.
Very informative, professional & helpful as to how to get rid of clover mites now & forever! Also gave us hints as to what we ourselves could do. Very patient with all our questions
Friendly
From the first phone call to the most recent service Orkin has proven to be the best around! Jim Peterson was very nice, explained to me what exactly he was going to do! Executed the service very well! Now we wait 7-10 days to be sure our problem is solved! I truly believe Orkin is the one to chose! THANK YOU JIM!
I have always used orkin only. They get the job done efficiently and effectively the first time. This was my first visit but I know without a doubt I won't have anymore issues. If you need a exterminator don't waste your time on any of the other guys, orkin is the best and only exterminator you should ever call!!!
They did exactly what they said they were going to be doing when they arrive.
Josh was on time & very friendly and professional.
We had Carl come out, who’s talked highly of for our flea issue. We’ve been dealing with fleas for about 5 weeks notice but we know it has most likely been months that they were multiplying. Carl arrived on time and was professional and honest. We also have been working with the manager Lane, he has been honest and…
They are great, very professional and polite
Brett was excellent at answering all questions and clear on treatment completed and how to follow up. He communicated a half hour before arrival and called at end of service. Highly recommend!
Don't know yet only treated once.
Excellent in every regard
Representative was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Treated all the areas asking about any new problems and concerns, it was a pleasure having him do the work.
We have asked multiple times for prior notice of day on inspection/treatment. We have provided access keys to multiple technicians for entry to our home. We are now retired and home most days, but Orkin cannot hear our request for prior notice to their arrival, which is never on the same day or time as the previous…
The Orkin technician did a great job!
Canceled on us 2 times but the third time did arrive. Still have had a few ticks on us. Not sure if there is a period of time that they are still active after the treatment. So we shall see after a few days if it worked.
Conscientious and thorough. Always friendly- even when our dogs are barking at him!!’
