Do not use Orkin. They did absolutely nothing to solve my flea problem and since it originated underneath my deck they said they would contact a third party person to help me out with it. They did not contact them until I hounded them repeatedly and I didn't even use them as they were rude, and trying to push me…

We were able to schedule the appointment for just a couple hours after our call. Will was very friendly, efficient, competent, and implemented measures to address our rodent issue. Seems like we got it early so that’s good, we’ll see how it goes in the follow-up next week. Very pleased with the initial call.

Couldn't kill a tiny bug on my own, couldn't even identify what it was. Michael came and informed me they are springtails; and they're resilient to chemicals. Sprayed basement for standard bugs, and laid out glue boards to collect the springtails. Gave me pointers to follow to reduce the problem-basically remove all moisture, thay love moisture.

These people are the worst. I have left 3 messages and no follow up. We still have mice everywhere! Do not use them. The corporate aspect makes it impossible to reach anybody.
