We had called and hed a tech come and walked the yard. he then made up our contract and told us what pests we had and that they would get rid of them.  We have three kids and a dog.  Our house now has more ants than before and they are telling me that they do not treat further than ten feet from your house.  Our contract does not state anything about a limit to the perimeter.  When we called back the tech came at an unscheduled time and then told me that he would not make it back for our scheduled time.  The company supervisor said they would treat the house but not the yard. ????????  Does... read full review »

First of all let me start by saying that out experience with Orkin (Carrollton Tx.) was horrible, we hired Orkin and they SUCK! They were suposed to spray as a prevention to make sure the verry few roaches would not multiply (that was what they told us) we now have other insects i never seen before in my property and the roach went from one or 2 on the kitchen to completely out of control , i had to trash some of my appliances because the amount of roaches in them was just unimaginable. we have 2 kids and this is unacceptable, somehow the "Orkin" people went from "satisfaction guarantee" to "the...

I thought Orkin provided very professional and complete service. The tech was very polite, friendly and knowledgable. We had a sudden ant infestation and called them. They were there the next day and within a few hours after treatment ant sightings were cut 95% and by the next day 99%.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and cross my fingers and hope the bugs go away, but even if I never see another bug from today I'm never using Orkin again! I had to be out of my house from 8-5pm, now thats a decent amount of time which would not have been a problem except, on their little 'do this' sheet they say '10. We will lcok all doors when leaving, so make sure you have your keys' (direct quote from the sheet). I come home at 530pm to find my font (and only) door completely unlocked, and this is not a nice neighborhood, who knows how long everything I own was vulnerable! Also, the...

I have had Orkin now for a few years and at first they started out to be pretty good.  Now they can't get rid of pests for anything!!!  I had them come back several times to treat for ants and just had them give me more ant bait stations when my quarterly service was due about 2 weeks ago.  Well I have "9" bait stations across my kitchen counter and I STILL have a trail of ants.  They don't go for the gel in those bait things at all!  I'm so sick of ants and I'm ready to find a new company.  Orkin's customer service system has changed over the last couple years too and they're terrible.  Half...

We have had the worst time ever with this company.  If I had know what I know now I would never ever have paid orkin to get rid of our pests.  First you schedual them and they dont come.  Than they come when they are not schedualed and are rude.  The first time they came out they sprayed all over my sons crib with chemicals when we called did they do anything nope.  They just told us that guy would not be our normal guy and the chemicals are organic so its fine (any chemicals used to kill things near my child is not ok with me). Than the secnd time the guy came out and sprayed the nastiest... read full review »

I filled out their online form to set up an appointment for a termite inspection. Once I did that, I was shown that "An Orkin representative will contact you shortly". I never got a call so I called Orkin to find out why. I received a canned apology and was told my request would be forwarded to a local office and I'd be contacted by someone from that office. I never received a call and it is now 2 weeks later. When I am trying to get a contractor or anyone to do work for me, they are automatically fired in the initial stages if they can't return calls or do something when promised. This is indicative...
