Javier is our normal guy but we had a great experience with everyone at Orkin. Quick and to the point.
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.
My technician, Joe Apodaca was great. He was personable. He explained what he was doing, and hopefully he will be my permanent person to come back to my home.
The technicians who came to my home were professional and thorough. Very pleased with the service I received.
Will is knowledgeable, trustworthy and personable. I would highly recommend Orkin to anyone.
Quick Efficient friendly
Great great great. The gentleman it’s always professional kind and amazing.
Good service
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.
Great professional service !
On time does whatever it takes for Britt to perform his responsibility yes
Terrible experience First appointment went okay and then they never came out again! No call no show appointments i called them out and wanted a refund and they refused because they are lying to us about a 30 day refund. It’s actually 3 days. Yes 3 days. Sneaky bs management team that won’t supply their techs what…
No bugs!!
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!
Great service! Anthony is the best! Very thorough! I’m totally bug free and never have to worry about bugs or spiders!!
The people coming to the house were very professional. The office could not get a schedule right . Everyone i told me a different thing, scheduling became i.possable because they would m ake an appointment then the next time they would just show up on s different day with no warning saying they couldn't make appointments.
I’ve always had a great experience with Orkin. Their workers are always professional and on time and very responsive. I would highly recommend them.
Lindsay was awesome and very thorough! Great experience!

We have had a few visits by Orkin now and so far they have been on time on the day they said and have been very professional in doing their work.

Professional & on time. Totally satisfied.
It is very easy to set the appointment.They are quick and professional.
Use this service consistently and we don’t see any critters around.
We’ve had Orkin service for about 18 months now and it’s great! They communicate well, show up on time, and we’ve had zero issues. They’ve come out last minute to spray a wasp nest, replace mouse traps, and take care of some pesky ants. Excellent company!
Zach came over to treat our wasp nest. He was great and if necessary, we hope to see him again!
Blake was on time, very professional and knowledgeable about my current pest issues which were spiders (absolutely terrified) and mice. He was awesome about walking me through the process, the billing and the follow up that would occur. He made me feel very confident that my pest issues would be a thing of the past…
Orkin has been a great provider as we've gone through a number of issues with birds in the attic and hornets and all that kind of thing. I would recommend them to anyone.

Anthony was amazing and took care of our wasp problem quickly! He explained everything beforehand and even found more nests that we weren’t aware of. Thank you so much!
I had a wonderful experience. Was treated professionally. Gentleman wore shoe covers and answered all my questions. Things are a lot better around my house now. Only a few wasps still flying around. Would recommend to a friend. I had them come out again and spray inside as well as outside. I had a spider…
Had a bug problem today. Brett was at my house within 10 minutes, with service & assistance!
The service was above and beyond. He even set up a wasp trap that I bought separately.
Jamen was prompt, professional, and did exactly what we needed-- clearing out some scary and inaccessible (to me) wasp nests! I appreciate the 30 day guarantee as well. Would be happy to use Orkin again, if we get unwanted tenants again!
Great service from a very professional and thorough technician!
Prompt, on time and knowledgeable.
Thorough, friendly and respectful of home/kids/pets.
Seemed to be very knowledgeable and definitely wanting to take care of any issues.
Bill is so nice to work with and I no longer have infestations of things invading my home. I don't have a ton of money, but I consider it a good investment since pests can cause a lot of damage.
Orkin has always arrived on time, even when the weather was hailing.
