Does and excellent job, Always making sure everything is done to expectations! Would definitely recommend!!
Nick Whitson did an excellent job during his visit. He truly went out of his way to make sure we were happy and that everything was taken care of properly.

Kyle came to my house, explained everything they would look for and apply to my home. Very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend. Also got a free home inspection.

We had a problem and we reached out to Brett K with Orkin and he has done an amazing job. We had a previous company for the last two years and we never saw a change if anything the problem got worse. Ever since Brett came into the home and made sure everything was taken care of and gave us a peace of mind. Brett…

Last June we had Orkin stop by to offer a free home inspection as bats had been reported in the area. John did a inspection and explained he did not see any signs of bat colony. We had R-49 insulation blown in, ridge guard installed, and some sealant of some entry points. Needless to say, I found out today from…
In my experience I have requested Jim to do my service around Keokuk County he does 💯 % good job.
Great service and explanations for the different services 👍 👌
