Does a great job, Mike is very professional and always very friendly.
I’m extremely happy with my Orkin service. They have completely eliminated my spider and ant issues. Our technicians are very communicative and professional and always ask if there are problem areas. I’d recommend them to anyone who uses a regular extermination service.
We have been using Orkin for more than 10 years; and they have always been willing to tell us what needs to be done to keep our home pest-resistant.
I've worked with Orkin for several years and they do a great job. Francisco is very thorough.
Did a great job and asked if I had any concerns. When I explained the things I had concerns about they were addressed by the technician.
great customer service, professional and answers any questions we have.
Even though I was not on the original schedule, these pros “worked me in”. Matt and Prince were timely, professional and accommodating (as have been all of my Orkin service people . Nine years with this company and I’m still impressed!
