Alonzo rocks and always makes sure our dogs are safely inside, not just for his safety but theirs against the toxins. While I hate the use of pesticides, Orkin takes care to only hit the spots around my house I ask for. Thanks for working on Juneteenth, Alonzo!
Derek was so nice and knowledgeable! He gave us great tips to help us get rid of our ants !
I've used this service for over 10 years, since they helped us out of a massive cockroach infestation. They are always professional and effective! I have had several other offers, but their loyalty to me and my needs deserves the same loyalty back!

Scottie provided my service as well as always. He also answered my questions concerning rodents.
Wonderful experience every time. I called because we had an outbreak this summer and had to call early. They responded right away and came out early. The experience has been wonderful . Came out and took care of everything. He gets a 10 plus in my book.
Always amazing service! After they leave, I feel confident that my home is protected! Would recommend to everyone!
I have used several other pest control businesses and Scott from Orkin is the best technician by far.
Great experience with Orkin so far!
Best pest control service in the Antelope Valley! Always professional and respond quickly to any concerns I have.
I have a real hatred for bugs, and that's why I love my Orkin guy, Derek. He's very thorough and answers all my questions with a smile. My home is completely bug free. If I do spot a creepy crawly in between scheduled treatments, it will be taken care of in a timely manner - no extra charge. I highly recommend this company and especially Derek!
Scott is a blessing to have servicing our home.

I had my first appointment with Orkin today. I am so very happy I chose Orkin and even happier with the service tech named Ron!! He was prompt, professional, personable, knowledgeable, thorough and courteous!! He is an excellent representation of Orkin and should truly be considered as an asset to the company!!
To the best of my knowledge, the Orkin Pro performed a thorough job. Also, he is friendly and responsive to our needs.

I love that he gives us a reminder call the day before service so we can remember to bring our dog in. Thank you Scott for the excellent service you provide our home.
I was in denial and a bit embarrassed about my pest problem but knew that it would become worse if I didn't do something. Because of their high reviews, and that I like their commercials, I chose Orkin. One of the best decisions I have made! The high star level is earned and very true. Since they started service I…

Today was the first time that we had Ron as are Orkin guy. One of the things that I liked was that he was extremely personable. He went the extra mile on so many levels.

I’m very happy with the service I was provided today as always with Orkin! Scotty is very professional prompt and takes care of our home as if it were his own! We really appreciate the service we receive from him!
Awesome and quick service!
A text is sent to my phone everytime a scheduled appointment is due from ORKIN but their technician does not show up or call to cancel if they cannot make it. This affects quality of their work, responsiveness & professionalism so I had to rate them this way.
Victor was so nice! On time, courteous, and took the time to explain everything to me. Very happy with the service!
First day of service and Was running late Patrick was our service guy, but kept communicating with us which I appreciated he was great very polite and informative, now we wait to see results 🙂
Anthony was performing services at my neighbors and so I asked if he would give me a quote. He was able to spray inside and outside and remove cobwebs same day. He was knowledgeable on the insects and how to exterminate. Tony was very friendly and I would recommend ORKIN.

Geoffery was great today!! We’ve had a huge ant problem the last few weeks, happy it’s been dealt with!
if you have animals, do not use orkin pest control. i have had 2 dogs die because of them. 1 year ago, the tech came to our home, left the pool gate open and my frenchi drowned. 2 days ago they sprayed my yard, my wife let the dogs out 1 hour later, one older dog of mine vomited several times and got better later…
Scott is our Orkin guy and he is the best. He has become one of the family. He always goes above and beyond. If you live in the AV I highly recommend using Okin and having Scott take care of all your service needs. We have had no problems with pests thanks to Okin and Scott.
