They came out same day to inspect and spray. I found a few roaches and I was worried they were going to get worse. They were very respectful and explained everything to me as they worked through the house. I knew how much I was going to be charged before they came out and they didn’t try to get more money for other…
Brent Powell is the technician who comes to my home and does my services and he is great!! Super friendly and funny. He goes above and beyond and is extremely knowledgeable. This summer has been really bad with pests, but he makes sure he does what he can to really help!
Julio is the Best, thank you for all your hard work over the years. He always responds in a timely manner and never complains when I add extra work.
The serviceman John was thorough and answered every question I had and explained everything that was done before and after.

Jeremy is always such a pleasure. Thank you so much. Great service!!!
Always courteous, and fast.
The gentleman were very nice and professional.
Technicians and administrative staff have always been understanding and considerate of my concerns and needs.
Very friendly, courteous and understanding.
Your product works like spraying water, it doesn’t repel anything. Your employees don’t show up half the time. You should invest in Zevo over the counter bug spray and maybe your service will be worth the money I’m paying you.
Very professional , cordial and friendly. Ernest is very friendly and respectful, does a good job.
Good setvrvices
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had an inspection done at my house and Earnest absolutely crushed it! Professional, thorough, and super friendly—he made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I couldn’t be happier with the service. 10/10 recommend Earnest for anyone needing a top-notch inspection!
Our Orkin guy John Severino is awesome.
The guy that showed up was very professional! Went over what they are gonna do in detail and answered my questions Did an amazing job Highly satisfied and highly recommend!! Thank you
Always on time, most employees very friendly and courteous (one was definitely NOT) but overall very pleased!

Earnest serviced my home for the last 2 years. He was always super professional and seemed to genuinely love his job.
The tech is always punctual, professional and courteous. I don't have issues with any bugs in my home since I've started using Orkin.
Scheduling Orkin service was relatively straightforward. And the services were delivered in accordance with the promised schedule. Our Technician (“Norris”), and his under instruction trainee (“Christian”), were both cordial, professional, effective and efficient. Very helpful and friendly.
Very business like and professional. He was very courteous and polite and make sure that he's covered everything he needed to.
Brent came today for our regular service. He did a great job. He is always professional but very friendly. It's like seeing a good friend when he comes. I was happy to report he got the mouse we were trying to get rid of! I would recommend Brent and orkin to any of my friends!
They used to be a great company to work with but lately they are going down hill. Guess I need to consider going elsewhere soon.
I’m a satisfied customer!
The staff did an excellent job today better than any of the other staff that’s being coming to my house. He pulled the refrigerator out, the drawers out. He went above and beyond listening to me about my situation and helping me to resolve to problem. I pay a generous amount of money for this service and the…
Very personable and knowledgeable employees.
My plan is to cancel thos service. I see no change in the mosquitoes and it appears that I see more bugs than I did b4e the service. I spoke to the gentlemen several time and each time no change to address anything that I share my concerns about
