Very professional experience from all three employees that came to our home. They communicated well and you could tell they honestly cared about the job they were doing. In this day and time that was highly appreciated.

If I could give Orkin a ZERO I would. As you can see from my previous review (below), we have (now) used them for over 25 years at two different homes. I don’t know what has happened to them in the past couple of years, but we recently found out that we have been paying for a service we were not receiving (interior…

Most of the time I don’t even see Kyle as he quietly, but diligently goes about his job. This time I was very much aware of him spending maybe more time than usual in the back yard and outdoor kitchen. What I observed is that he took his time as he meticulously and thoroughly sprayed every nook and cranny a pest…

They have kept to the schedule and always confirm 5-7 days in advance. If at that time they are scheduled too early, they will quickly adjust to the date range I prefer. The current technician Bryan is very personable and engaged all of my questions. Good man. Also, I haven’t seen any bugs or stuff in a while.
