I always have a great experience with Orkin. They show up on time, do a thorough job in protecting my home from pests. They complete the job even if I am away from my home.
Tech was friendly, knowledgeable and professional.
He does a good job and listens to what we need and takes care of the problem

Thank you Gary for always doing a great job! You’re the best!
Came quick after a beetle and ant problem and left very efficent and great advice.
Very painless experience, not only were they extremely early so I was able to continue with my day smoothly but both the technician and the gentleman doing the estimate on sealing the house were friendly, polite, and just all around pleasant people. Their work was thorough and efficient. A very good way to start off a customer experience.
Great experience from the phone call to schedule to the actual service. Randall was super thorough and very respectful of our home and took the time to explain everything he was doing. Pricing was great as well!

Love your service. My Tech is awesome. Knowledgeable, kind, attentive to issues and always on time. Best contract I’ve committed to in a long time.
Showed up on time, professional
4/3/24—Orkin is still my pest and termite control company. Today they did a refresh on my termite control which was originally done over 10 years ago. My home will continue to be termite free. The techs are skilled and the service is great. Thanks, Orkin! Orkin has done my pest and termite control for many years.…
Good service at a good price. My technician is friendly and always asks what kind of insects i am seeing so that he can treat the property appropriately. Service is actually better than four stars, but cannot do fractional stars so has to go with four.
I have only had great experiences with Orkin. I have called them at random times and they always find time to come and treat the areas needed. The extermination has always worked. The technician assigned to my home communicates very well. He informs me before arriving and as he is leaving. I have been with Orkin for…
Excellent service. Friendly and professional technicians. Goes above and beyond ensuring your concerns are taken care of. Highly recommended.
Very friendly and informative service! I will definitely continue service and recommend to others. Orkin always answers the call and they are prompt with scheduling technician visits. The technicians are well informed and are very professional. I have had no complaints since signing up with them.
The general extermination services are excellent with trained, competent, professional personnel. Very reliable and effective!
