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.

I'm always weary about people being at my house when I'm not home just due to my wife/children being there and security, but my wife said that she had a very professional experience from our technician, Thomas. This is our initial service and the inspection by Ernesto beforehand was a good experience as well. So far…

We have been with Orkin for several years and have never had any complaints. If we need them to come out and respray for any reason then they are very timely. The mosquito treatment is amazing and I would not go a summer without it. Our technician, Gary, is the absolute best! His customer service and friendly attitude can’t be beat!
