Darrell is the best of the best! He always has a smile on his face and is willing to help in any way. We are so appreciative of him visiting us for quarterly sprays and anytime any other problem arises.

Activity by chimney appeared to be by flashing and shingle. Suggested to have one of their inspectors come out. Tanner came the…

Fantastic service. Cullin does a great and detailed job, spotting things I'd never notice normally. Initially requested service to get rid of yellowjackets. But now I've been using them the past 6 months and only had good experiences.
Representative addressed all of my concerns and went over and beyond my expectations. Christian is a great person to have working with your organization.
We appreciate Chance & the customer service he provides. Also a huge plus we have had the same tech now for some time!
We had an issue and our regular Orkin technician came out right away to help us. Very impressive!
Ben did a great job inside and outside removing the hornets nest too
The technician that I have consistently is very knowledgeable about all of my issues And keeps me informed during and after visit if needed

Our Orkin Representative is always punctual, cordial & does great work. Highly recommend!
Very professional and got the job done 🤗
Great service! Very courteous!
Greg is one of the best in home service techs we’ve ever had. We currently have a squirrel in the attic issue and he was very thorough in explaining his extermination strategy. He’s been equally helpful in other service calls such as eliminating a large wasp nest. I highly recommend Orkin and Greg!
Chance is the best!!
Service was top notch. They treated all the windows and entry areas around the home. The tech was absolutely awesome.
The Orkin folks are great! I have been working with them for nearly four years now (since 2015) and they made my old house in the country mouse free! Their representatives are personable and very professional. I definitely recommend their services! As an update 2020, I continue to use Orkin, and I continue to be…
Good morning orkin this the guy was late my appointment time was 8am-10am he got there ten minutes after. It just mess my whole day up they should call and say am running a little bit late
I think working with Orkin has been the best choice as a home owner in the last few years, it’s made keeping ants and mice out so easy!
Orkin is a quality service. I’ve had no problems whatsoever with bugs or rodents. I would highly recommend to anyone experiencing these problems because they’ll be gone by the next day!!
The young man applying the pest control application was very informative and explained everything he did a why. It gave me a since of relief that my pest problems will be resolved.
The team at Orkin has been very helpful eliminating spiders, ants, wasps, yellow jackets, carpenter bees, and general pests around our house. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and pleasant to work with.
I had Jason and Mason come to my home after yellowjackets invaded my house. I was stressed, they evaluated, sprayed and came back a second time to help me get rid of the yellowjackets. I was so grateful for their help and experience!
Rob (Covers Noblesville) is very respectful and a great listener. He addresses my concerns and I trust him in my house.
Promt for scheduled time. Displayed good grasp of problem. Through with treatment and checking if any other concerns. Would use again if needed.
Technician called and came early. Very efficient and personable.
I have monthly service with Orkin for my home that is surrounded by woods. Orkin has been effective in managing insect and pest issues. They are responsive to specific requests. The technicians are very polite and helpful. I highly recommend Orkin.
Very impressed with this ORKIN team. They have gone above and beyond to make certain our ant problem is resolved. Highly recommend these guys.
They came out pretty quickly to deal with yellow jackets in our yard. I called around 9 am and was told that someone could come in the afternoon. I got a text around 11 am that he was on his way .
Successful removal of hornet nest that was dangling over the center of my driveway. I was disappointed to see that the nest wasn't taken away. Instead, it was dragged into tall grass on neighboring property. For the money they charge, I thought they would take it away for disposal. But no.
Details and attention to specific needs are handled very well. This meets our expectations and what we are paying for. Thanks for service with a smile.
Rob did a great job! Very thorough and great communication!
I was referred to Orkin by my boyfriend and the entire experience was amazing! The person I talked to on the customer service line when I called for a quote was extremely helpful and relatable, she shared her experience with me with Orkin products, and let me know I was in good hands. Then when my tech came, they…
Service is awesome and my technician is the very best!!!!

They young man was very professional and kind. Did a hell of a job.
The person that removed the hornet nest was very nice, explained what he would be doing and was very interactive and responsive. I would use him again if I need this type of help.
He is prompt, professional, and explains what to expect after treatment and is excellent about squeezing us in for last minute extra services. We have experienced unexpected pests to make running my business a little difficult and he’s quick to act and effective with his solutions. We are so grateful for monthly services with our favorite service provider!
Orkin handles all my pest control issues in a timely and professional manner. Appointments are easy to schedule and mostly taken care of within one business day.
Dave was very professional and friendly. Prior to leaving, he explained what we should expect after treatment and took the time to ensure we had no further questions or concerns.

Very professional company. Competitively priced. Not only sprayed for spiders but also removed the cob webs.
Excellent care, customer service, and quality business! Harry did an amazing job taking care of a giant hornets nest in my front yard. Highly recommend Orkin for your pest control needs.
We are current Orkin customers for monthly treatments for spiders. This morning I noticed a hornets nest up in our tree. I called and found that removal of this nest was included in our services. Rich came within an hour of my call, provided me and my kids a ton of education on hornets, and changed his removal…
I called in the morning and the technician was able to come the same afternoon. She was friendly address my issues quickly and I was very impressed with the service.
Shelly is a very friendly, professional lady. Okin should be very proud of her. She always inquires if there are any problems and immediately solves them.
Pleased to recommend ORKIN to everyone!
