Excellent service. The serviceman was professional, knowledgeable and kind in answering all my questions. I now have piece of mind. I never should have waited this long. Awesome experience.
Orkin's specialist was communicative, fast, and effective. I highly recommend them.
He came that afternoon . He was quick. And courteous, and my dog loved him.
The tech was courteous and polite. Service was quick and thorough. I would recommend them.
Corbin Scott was on time, kind, and respectful. He clearly knew what he was talking about and did an amazing job. I wouldn’t recommend any other company.”
Signed a contract with Orkin when a previous pest company could never permanently rid our wasp problem around our house. They were building up nests behind the eaves of my house and previous pest company could never get rid of the entire colony. I was worried that they would eventually cause structural damage. Two…
Terrible guy showed up saw him on my camera, also received a text. I waited for him by the back door for 15 min. I saw him on his phone. Went to put my shoes on came back and he was gone. Then they sent this review like he showed up. I also rescheduled they didn’t show.
Services were delivered as expected for a first visit. Waiting to see how follow up visits play out.
Keleaf was prompt, professional, and knowledgeable. I’m looking forward to working with him.
Collin always does a great job. He takes his time, is methodical with the application, and has great attention to detail. He's also personable and listens to my concerns.
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…
Lee did a thorough and professional job. He impressed me with his knowledge of different spiders that we found. He found areas that needed attention and doubled up on the applications to address the need inside and outside. Especially for spiders. He also eliminated two wasp’s nests. He quickly took ownership to…
Chris was aweaome, professional but personable at the same time he made sure to explained to us all the different things he was going to do and what the plan is if things got better, no change, or worse he had a plan for everything that will help us get ride of and make sure the creepy crawlies dont make a creepy comback
Always comes and take care of my pest control needs. Even if there is an “additional” pest problems as there was today. Very good service. Jesse sprayed for all the dozens of wasps and I truly appreciated that. Still highly recommend them
Very responsive and professional. The mosquito treatment is a must in our backyard and is very effective.
Everything was fine. Since using Orkin, we rarely have issues with pests.
Service was excellent the technician was very professional kind and courteous!
Very friendly, and nice. Very responsive to my needs.
We have Orkin come 4 times a year, because we live in an agricultural area and lots of flies and other insects and mice surround us. They do a great job; over several years the insects in our house have significantly decreased, and we are far less annoyed than we were when we moved here. Our house is a restored 120…
Harrison was prompt, knowledgeable, courteous, and thorough. The office accepted an appointment and scheduled for June 14 between 8:30 - 10:30. When no one had come by 11:00, I called and was told a technician would be out a week later on the 21st. That appointment was kept.
Appointment was re-scheduled for today 21st.-on phone message. That was a problem due to late notification-coming on that day—-I was not home to let access to garage to set boxes. Next time I need at least one day notice of any change! I don’t know what services were done. Thank you!
Vince did our service(Orkin) and was completely professional and thorough. He answered all my questions and concerns with respect and went to work on them. He really went above and beyond. I hope we get Vince back for our regular service every time. Editing my review from 5 stars to 2. Orkin as a business is a…
Orkin is worth every penny. The staff are professional and know their pests. I have continued to use them for five years at my home and have never been disappointed. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Timely, answered all my questions and was quick to help us solve our yellow jacket infestation. Would recommend.
Super nice and did a really good job! Helped spray my house for spiders and earwigs. He even took down some wasp nest I didn’t know I had.
We love our Orkin man! He is always so kind and friendly. He listened to our needs and took care of our big problem.

Brayden was extremely thorough. He was very knowledgeable and covered all areas of concern. Any questions we had were answered quickly and intelligently. Plus, he had a great sense of humor!
Kody was professional, thorough, and very nice. Thank you for a job well done.
It was an excellent job , I did not noticed any mice or other issues after you used the first session. It made me feel safe and clean Thanks !
Harrison showed up on time and went through everything. I’ve been with Orkin for about a year now and he definitely was the best yet. He covered all areas we were worried about and was so professional! But he was also personable and easy going.
Very thorough and professional.
We had Keleaf Lee come out and inspect and spray for us. He was amazing and this company is very professional. Absolutely loved our experience and can’t wait to continue service with them!
Good service. Friendly and professional.
DO NOT USE THIS SERVICES !!! I CAN NOT EXPRESS THIS ENOUGH!!! They do not call you back, they do not show up for appointments when you take time off of work and they charge you for work they did not actually do. I paid over $200 for a home inspection, got the all clear, only to have mice 3 weeks later when the…
The best part of your service is mainly due to Kevin. He is respectful, knowledgeable and very pleasant to work with. 😊
Took the time to answer all our questions. Very professional. It is hard to find companies you can trust. We are new customers, but so far we would recommend to others.
Very professional. Informative and friendly
Very helpful and nice.
