Orkin's services have declined considerably. They have not restocked their products. Their service representatives can not perform their work effectively without the supplies needed. I can not recommend Orkin to anyone at this time.

The phone conversation was great sweet person that explained everything, Then the guy came out and was very professional and polite. Thanks Orkin!

Very personable and knowledgeable employees.
Brayden Dickson was an excellent service technician. He was knowledgeable and answered all my questions and addressed my concerns. He made me feel at ease regarding the treatment and the follow up services. He is a credit to your company and I will recommend your company to my neighbors and family.
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
Our technician Norris is a lovely man. Very thorough and professional

[July 26, 2022] I called Orkin for pest extermination as a homeowner. A guy came out and signed me up for recurring services quarterly.

We have been using Orkin for a few months now and absolutely love it!! We use Malcom who is professional, funny, and does a wonderful job!! Couldn't ask for a better pest control service!! Also Mrs. Tina at the office is amazing as well!!
Our Orkin was not on time but well worth the wait. It was not on purpose and we did have the option to reschedule but, we chose to wait. Malcom was professional, funny, and did a great job!! We would definitely recommend Orkin to our family and friends!
Malik was really helpful and explained everything and did a really good job! A big A ++++++ for him. He deserves a raise. Xoxo Kristy middleton and Michael Gulledge

Always great technicians doing great work.
I’ve been using Orkin for years. They have always been courteous and professional and I wouldn’t do business with anyone else. Malik did a great job for us. He found a poisonous snake on our porch and removed it for us. Outstanding service!

Sprayed for bugs and put a trap down for mice.
