Been using orkin for a little bit and Jim has always been awesome, for taking care of anything from insects, to termites to even rodents.

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.
William Wilson and Cassi were very helpful and professional
sorely disappointed We were looking for a company that would go beyond our previous, personal efforts, and get this problem eliminated. The man on the phone emphasize the word “guaranteed” and assured us that they were the best. But, after having had our first visit, there’s a whole lot that they didn’t do, that…
Showed up when stated. Did their work with a pleasant attitude. Notified me of what was done to the property and when it was done. Nick Whitson is the best Orkin staff member! Thank you Orkin.
They are wonderful and kind and very prompt and personal.
Our pest control tech Gavin Ozmun is one of the most professional, thorough, and polite techs they have. Super personable, explains everything he's doing, answered all my questions and works extremely quickly! If there's anyone I can personally recommend it's definitely Gavin!
Absolute ripoff. I’m paying $55 per month for two traps do nothing that I could buy online for $10. They are constantly trying to upsell you on expensive services that should be included. I had someone come out and quote me to seal up the entry points with steel wool for mice, and he quoted me at over $3,000!! Steel…
Carl Shulka is very professional and personal to deal with. Takes time to answer any questions you may have.
Brett was the technician who came to my house. Very friendly and went over all the areas of concern and explained his plan real well. Very nice to work with.
Jim is always pleasant and works very well for us. Thank you.
Jim is the best
Jim Peterson is always excellent and very friendly and reliable!
After the most anxious day thinking I had a mouse infestation and was extremely worried having a new born baby...... I decided to call ORKIN and they sent out a man named Willam Wilson and he has made me feel so much better he went around my home inside and out even my garage spraying and making sure he could see…
Brett Karasek was so kind and helpful with my initial visit. I appreciate the timeliness and professionalism. Thank you so much for giving me peice of mind.
Awesome service! Craig is great!!!
Good job. Craig Bassett
Craig Bassett is nice and easy going. Takes corective criticism well.
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.
Carl S. did an amazing job at my house today! This was his first time out and Orkin’s second time. He was very thorough in his explanation! He took me around our house and property and explained what he was doing.
Cory Sinnwell has been our Orkin service provider for years. He is knowledgeable, courteous and a true professional in all aspects. He is like a member of our family. We have had other technicians over the years but Cory has been the best. As a result, Orkin gets our highest rating.
Carl does a great job every time he comes to our home. Very friendly, thorough, and always on time. We have seen a major decrease in outdoor pests and have eliminated issues of pests in our garage.
Alia is fantastic.
