Scott excellent person and he did a fantastic job,
Quick to explain questions, good at identifying insects and behavior, Sebastian was quite nice and informative about the work that was about to happen. Cleaned up my wasp problem with no issue at all. No wasps were seen in the morning
Elias was very helpful, friendly, and professional. He was very thorough in his inspection, and took the time to explain what steps he was going to take to get rid of our wasp problem. I appreciated his thoroughness, and his reassurance that our pests would be taken care of.
Love your service and the technicians are great Scoot is really great and gives good information.
The experience was great! Andy was nice and answered all questions.
I've been using the monthly insect & rodent deterrent spray services for about a year and half. I hired Orkin in October of 2024. I was in Germany when my dog sitter sent me a text message saying there was a rat dropping on the bed. Scotty treated my house the next day. I've had rodent issues on and off over the…
Patrick my service provider is great and I have had no problems with bugs since starting the regular service years ago.
Andrew is always fantastic agent. He was knowledgeable, explained everything, polite, Patient and made you feel special. Great Job!
Alonzo has been are guy since day one! He is extremely professional, very knowledgeable about every issue we come across whether it would be bugs, wasp, nests, or rodents! I recommend him for all your needs. Thank you Alonzo! Maya
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.
Great communication and a pleasure to deal with !!
Very good thanks
Scott and his partner were absolutely amazing! They made me feel so much better about our pest issue and so far has scared all of them away. I can’t thank them enough for being so caring and quick to solve the issues we had! They need a raise, they’re doing fantastic!
Technicians are always so polite and willing to work with you. George and Coda are extremely helpful.
We appreciate our Orkin service!
To early. I was out of my hom ensuring I would be on time for the appointment but he came 30 min early. Need to reschedule.
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 like Victor, Our applicator. He is very thorough.
Very happy with the results and our exterminator (Scott) is professional and experienced. He answers all of our questions, is on time, and takes good care of our home.
