I really enjoy when Jim does come to service my home he does his job and does it well.
Will, my Orkin technician is always polite, professional and efficient. He does a very thorough job.
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.
Josh was very knowledgeable, friendly, and answered all of my questions. Treatment was quick and thorough.
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 S has been great to work with this year to get our pest control needs met!
Carl Shulka is very professional and personal to deal with. Takes time to answer any questions you may have.
Carl is who services my house. He’s amazing.
Indoor inspect treatment. Done by Carl Shulka. He does a fantastic job every time. Also does my sons and daughters homes.
I use them for my home and business and and have been very happy. Carl has been handling the house treatments for years and has been great to deal with.
We have had excellent service from Byron. He is informative and always helpful with our bug and past problems.
Orkin has been wonderful to work with. We had a terrible wasp problem and they took care of them, along with keeping out all the other pests throughout the year. Carl S. has been wonderful to work with and he even took care of some pesky wasps that were trying to winter in our patio umbrella, which was not an easy…
Craig Bassett takes care of our center at Hand In Hand! He is very caring, kind, and is willing to help with anything we have concerns about. He is personable to anyone he runs into here and makes sure to have friendly conversation every time he’s here while also getting his job done! Highly recommend Craig to anyone!
I’ve had a consistently great experience with Orkin. Rescheduling due to work conflicts has been easy. I like that in between services, if there is an issue, they will come out for an additional spray at no cost. I want to give a shout out to Cory S - he is absolutely amazing! So kind and respectful every time he…
Carl has serviced our properties for several years and has always done an exemplary job. He does not rest until every problem is solved and the customer is completely satisfied. I highly recommend Carl for your pest control needs.
Great to work with, took care of the issue and haven’t had a problem since! Carl is always polite and professional.
The Orkin service applicator, Jim Petersen, is personable, respectful, & knowledgeable. Plus the mosquito treatment is effective.
When we moved outside the city we started encountering bugs and critters that were not welcome in our new home. We started monthly services with Orkin and haven't had a problem since. Our regular guy, Carl, is awesome! Friendly, efficient, and keeps us in the know on other services, but isn't a pushy salesman…
Byron Campbell was great to deal with.
Cory Sinnwell is always very friendly and gets the job done in a timely manner.
Excellent service The technician was very nice and explained the process . He did a Excellent job!! Thank you
They were very friendly and explained everything very throughly. Very pleased with their service
Great service and very professional
Jim is always great making sure there’s been no issues and always asks if there are concerns.
Average at best do not go out of their way and it’s the same old issues week after week. Complained twice was told someone would call me back, it never happened either time.
We chose to seek service as a precaution after moving in to our new home. What we've learned in a nutshell; 1. Proactive communication from Orkin does not exist. 2. Don't use auto pay. Payment in NOT generated by service completion. It will pull on the date THEY schedule you for regardless of whether a tech shows…
We hired Orkin for monthly service with the hopes of a set it and forget it pest control. Several no-shows and follow-up communication, engaged by us, to ensure the work was complete. They auto-billed but neglected to auto-work for paid services. Would not recommend, go with a better company.
Excellent rodent and misquote extermination. Wasps appear to be greatly reduced; I'm not sure how well the Carpenter ant extermination has worked yet. Our service has been professional and friendly.
They are great, very professional and polite
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!!’
