I have been very satisfied with Orkins services. I especially like Jerry the person who has serviced my home. It has been because of him I chose to stay with your services when asked by other companies to use their services.
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.
The employee that came to eradicate a couple of yellowjacket nests around my house was on time and friendly. After spraying the nest at the tallest peak of my ranch level home he brought an extension tool and knocked it down to the concrete patio. I didn’t realize until after he left that he did not clean up the…
Representative was on time, we spent some good time talking about the issues, including a walk around. Very thorough in the treatment,
John was on time, very knowledgeable, very thorough. I'm glad I called Orkin!
Tech was super friendly and took care of our 6 wasp problem efficiently. Very glad we called Orkin.
Need to know what the tech found. Number of mice in the garage or in the side & backyard?
Always a pleasure to work with Orkin. All of the technicians are kind and professional.
Always call when they get there and ask for any additional things needing addressed. Never had a bad experience with any of the techs sent out. Excellent service that works!
Great communicant on time.
Great Service & follow up - Orkin was professional throughout. Our Tech (Richard) did a real good job explaining what he was going to do - what follow up visits would be done - covered all bases. Richard was polite, friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and professional while at our home. The price paid for a YEARLY…
Good service.
We love our out tech goes above and beyond. He takes all the time necessary to address our areas of concern and proactively identifies area we hadn’t seen ourselves.
Omar was on time and very professional. He offered great advice. And did a very thorough job. Would definitely recommend him.
Will was very respectful and quick to take care of our needs.
I've been using Orkin, now into my fourth year. Like my previous reviews, they continue to be professional and responsive to my concerns, and the results have been positive and consistent. Always addressing any concerns quickly, and I continue to Highly recommend.
I chose Orkin 2 years ago when we moved to our new home, and I'm glad because I've had peace of mind ever since. They have been reliable, attentive, friendly, and helpful. When you call them, all of their agents are fantastic and find a way to help you. They come every other month, but if something comes up or we…
Casey is amazing! He’s been servicing my residence for some time and is always thorough and on time. He even remembers my dog’s name. Orkin professionals are second to none!
John was very professional, inspected the house and set traps to catch the mice. He filled entry points with a foam product to prevent mice from entering.
Omar Sanchez was professional, polite and definitely knew what he was doing. He took the time needed to eliminate the wasps and knock down the wasp nest under the eaves that was too high for me to reach. Omar followed up with me a week later to see how things were going. I highly recommend this company.
Orkin tech was very friendly and professional. I look forward to working with him again.
was very efficient and friendly
They took care of multiple wasp nests that were on first and second levels of my home. They did a great job!
Subsequent monthly appointments with the technician have shown results around our property . They are knowledgeable and have easily engaged in conversation and answered questions readily.
Very nice and professional. They get the job done.
Good service tech that is familiar with our home.
Always through and friendly
Was happy with the team that showed up. Good and knowledgeable
The Orkin technician, Carl, is very polite, professional, and diligent in treating our home for pests. I had a problem yesterday with wasps that arose suddenly and he was here to remove the problem. Great person, great service. He also introduced me to a new method of addressing the mosquito issue. In the past 6…
Quality professional and customer friendly
As always Paul does a great job. Asks how last service was and asks if there is anything new or he needs to look at for us.
I have a seasonal contract with Orkin, for 3 years now. They keep the wasps away for me and other creepy crawlies outside. I don't have bugs in my house! 🤗🤗🤗
Great customer service, very thorough!
very thorough and courteous.
They were thorough & went above & beyond my expectations!
They were on time and extremely pleasant. Both techs went above and beyond to make sure all my concerns were addressed.
Knocked it out of the park. We had a yellow jacket infestation in the wall of our garage. They were able to get us scheduled quickly and the tech was courteous and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, the yellow jackets were tenacious and broke through the first seal Christopher applied. No worries, because Orkin stood by…
Orkin has been very attentive to ensuring our house is protected from insects, bugs and critters. Carl, our technician is extremely professional, knowledgeable and courteous. I am very pleased with their services and highly recommend them.
The technician always let's me know when he is going to be at the house and sends a report on what was done. He is knowledgeable and eradicated a pest problem when I started with the company.
Will showed up early and was pleasant and efficient. We now have bait boxes throughout our yards to eliminate voles who have burrows destroying our lawn. The wasps areas have treated and hopefully will disappear.
Extremely knowledgeable helped us take care of a very serious issue appreciate his time.
Terrific, very helpful, and congenial service! Many thanks!
The phone experience alone was informative and helpful. The technicians that came out were on time, personable but also very efficient. They are worth the price for the peace of mind.
The Orkin tech called to say he’d be at my home in 10-15 min and was early. The company communicated the entire time I was waiting with text reminders - they were good to their word. The tech was friendly and professional, did a thorough job of removing the wasps (I had 11 hives) and let me know when he was done. He…
Great service by Carl
They took care of everything requested and took care of several wasps nests they around my house.
The tech always is on time and I appreciate that he comes in to check if there are any problem areas and then proceeds tho treat the exterior.
Our Orkin representative has done a great job
Very knowledgeable and helpful however I still have live spiders in my garage.
Always awesome
This is an update to a previously positive review. Where has customer service gone? I asked to have a regularly scheduled visit (I am on a monthly program) by the same technician! The visits are scheduled “by a computer”. And are NOT synchronized, so you never know when they are coming until you get an email … hi we…
Very polite, courteous and friendly
For now, Tyler was here to perform the duties. He was thorough also, personable and explained the applications to me. Hopefully, Orkin will find someone to cover the large area for this route. Jerry Spaulding is back! He is so thorough and professional. I was gal to see him come back, even if only to cover for the…
Always very thorough patient In explaining the situation.
Can’t find anything negative to say. Our Orkin Team is amazing. The main guy that comes every month remembers us by name and is beyond professional and always on time. With all this rain we had we needed an extra trip out this month and it was super easy to schedule. Best part; no bugs.
Very professional!
Always punctual, courteous, and efficient service
Honesty was wonderful to work with. Very informative and friendly!
I have not seen a mouse in months.
Jerry was great! Extremely helpful and informative! Highly recommend!!
Had used the service for some time, but decided I didn’t need it anymore. So I called and cancelled and now I’m getting harassed by corporate, the local office manager called, and a tech showed up to the house unannounced demanding traps back! Some of the traps I had already and had been replaced by Orkin. Really…
We haven’t had any problems with pests since we started with Orkin. Techs are always very polite and professional.
The service was very thorough and I’m please with the outcome. I highly recommend ORKIN.
Technician was very helpful and gave good tips.
Great professional job! Thank you Orkin
Our service provider is consistently knowledgeable and professional. He is always on time and kind.
Steven from Orkin does a great job and also provides excellent information re pest control and safety for our pets.
Super timely. Professional and effective. Highly recommended.
Orkin came particularly for wasps and mosquitoes, but I am looking forward to their full service this fall.
The tech. Kaiden, was on time, and very courteous. Very helpful in explaining what he was planning to do and made suggestions for follow-up treatments for the wasps and for other pests as well. He also explained plan options for future treatments.
I have mostly experienced great results with Orkin. Jerry was here today and extremely thorough and helped me get rid of 2 wasp nests and he found a black widow spider!! Carl, my other regular serviceman was awesome too. I would like him to come back.
The Orkin technician was on time and even texted prior to his arrival. He was thorough at examining our home and explained what he was doing. He answered all of our questions and told us what we could expect with subsequent visits. We were very satisfied and anticipate great results.
Great peace of mind knowing after they initially serviced my home, I can call them anytime we need more help! Professional and family friendly. 10/10
The scheduler fit me in early the next day. The 2 men who showed up were friendly and professional. The process took about 10 minutes and by the time they left, the wasps were mostly gone!
Very professional, good listener, helpful about prevention, and fast!
Carl was very personable and professional
Professional, courteous, and complete service. The techs have been very good to work with. Make sure you get a good rep at the call center through or mistakes will be made.

I was really impressed with Orkin and my very thorough Pest Technician Richard Tryon. He came in and explained the process and spent hours checking and spraying ever area of my house including my crawl space. He found spiders and hornets I had no idea we had. I really felt valued and treated well as a customer and…
Orkin service tech’s are very competent and professional. We are very satisfied with their service.
Patrick is very professional and polite. Very happy with service. Patrick was on time and explained everything that he was going to do.
The person that came did such a great, thorough job! Very pleased!
Our tech is amazing and is always on time and super helpful!
I usually have to change appointment because I work Monday through Friday and they are good in accommodating my needs
Huge nest under a platform that we were not able to access. Carl came with his wasp busters equipment and took the nest out. Amazing!
You didn't do inside the house today, 9-25-2021, for some reason. We hope that you will do so next time.
Patrick was very orofessional, asked appropriate questions regarding any problems we may have and took care of all of it.
Very good service. I knew exactly when Orkin was going to show up and I was kept up to speed on the whole process and what they did to remedy my wasp problem. Ken, who handled everything, was excellent.
Calling and setting up an appointment was very easy and the services were fully walked through over the phone with an explanation of future expectation. The gentleman who came to do the service was able to get out to our house two days after I set up the appointment (very fast!!) and was very professional,…
This is the first time I’ve experienced this
Very nice, polite young man. Very thorough and knowledgeable. Explained what he was doing. Kindly answered all my questions.
Really nice staff, very professional and helpful!
Professional and friendly service. Thorough and efficient.
I like Orkin. They come out between services if needed to help me with wasps, which as we all know are very pesky. Will R is my service rep and he’s always helpful, super pleasant and both he and the company is responsive. Their customer service is customer responsive. I’d recommend them without hesitation.
The technician was professional. He showed me the wasp habitats and explained clearly what he was going to do. I’m glad I chose Orkin.
Reuben was very knowledgeable and explained what he was doing all the way through. They were able to come the day after I called. I believe Reuben enjoys his work and is very good at what he does. I will update as our service continues! Good 1st impression.
Michael is always professional, courteous and thorough when he comes out. This was unscheduled due to recurrence if wasps but we had a lot, which he took care of.
Virtually free of bugs and rodents. I love my technician. He is always on time, very professional and respectful of my property and kids, and very through. I would highly recommend them!!! Great service, great price, and best of of all of these, great results!!! No more bugs, spiders, or rodents. Pet and kid…
