Orion has done a good job for us. I don’t feel like they are trying to upsell too much- just want to take care of us. The last person who came seemed so nervous she would offend me about telling me that we also have to manage the fruit flies in our kitchen - I have kids, they leave stuff out, it’s ok! We are doing our best.

We’ve had an incredible experience with the team at Orkin, specifically Garrett - we moved in this summer, discovered the biggest spiders and whatever else you could imagine and immediately after contacting Orkin and having Garrett out, our issue was resolved! Couldn’t ask for a better organization to partner with on this.

In my experience, Orkin is the best place to go for all your pest control needs. They’ve been coming to my home since we bought it, over 7 years ago and to our house in Nevada before that. All of their representatives have been professional, kind, and good at their job. You really can’t ask for more. Don’t be fooled…
