Joe was incredibly brave and through in ridding us of a ground nest of Yellowjackets. Plus, he's coming back tomorrow to make sure they're gone.

Have used Orkin for approximately 10 years. Service seems adequate, but the cost is much higher compared to other providers and I can’t find any benefit to paying more for such a basic service. Just had yet another rate increase, so I will be looking at other providers.

Will is an expert with a lot of energy. He crawled into spaces most wouldn't volunteer to go in to set mouse traps. He is friendly and a real go getter. Will is the face of Orkin , in my mind!
