I've had Orkin for a number of years and have no complaints, I don't worry about little creatures invading my home when they're unwanted.
Wonderful experience! The guy that came to my house, Derek, was super kind and genuine. He gave his condolences about my dad passing, and said, God bless you as I left for 3 hours. I saw a moth after he was done spraying bit I know it takes a few times to get rid of all the moths. Great experience!

Orkin is always there on time, does a great job, and if a problem arises in between treatments, they don't hesitate to promptly return to address that problem. What more could a homeowner ask for?
