It’s funny how there are so many good reviews for Orkin🤔. I had an appointment for a technician to come out 8:00-10:00 to give me a quote for service but…HE NEVER SHOWED😒. After calling and holding 10 minutes I was told that they had a regional meeting that just let out and he could come later, hmmm, no! If this is the way you treat customers and run your business, I’m not paying good money for it. Me: calling other companies.

Orkin is a fraud and total ripoff. They continue to charge me and try to service my home after I canceled. They didn't cancel my service. They "serviced" the outside of my home when we had that huge snowstorm and now came back and served the outside of my home after I told customer service I didn't want my home serviced. I've been waiting for management to call me for a month now yet nobody returns my calls. Do not use their services.

I hired Orkin pest control because I heard it was good back in the days. However, now their service has worsen substantially. I have to beg the technicians to spray the house or do at least something, every time they come to provide service. My contract is almost over, and the problem is still there. Would certainly NOT RECOMMEND ORKIN’S SERVICES!!!

I purchase Orkin Service on 9/25/2020 11:00am and set up the appointment. I called 1:00pm the same day to reschedule my appointment. I was told it take up to 48 hours for technician to call me back for reschedule. 30 hrs passed I have not receive any phone call. On 9/26/25 5:15 pm I call Orkin to cancel my purchase and looking for other company with efficiency.

I would never recommend Orkin for bed bugs to anyone. We paid them lots of money and we have done lots of the work ourselves with sprays we purchases since they do not do a good job, do not return calls or have good customer service at all. We started in Sept. and as of yet we have not had a final review to say we are bug free, we have given up calling and have just moved on since we have not found any more ourselves. We are hoping for the best and have been totally disgusted with their service. Carol Gillespie, Aurora, Co.

Very expensive, found out in the Phoenix area, Orkin uses a sub contractor for any bird work our company needed done as well as seal up the building for rats. We would of paid twice what the subcontractor was charging Orkin if we had not found out from another company about this, and it was never told to us by Orkin which is deceitful. So why hire them when you can hire the sub contractor .

I'm very disappointed with Orkin. I have always used them for pest control. They came out last year around March 2018 and serviced my house for termites. To this day they have not came back for follow up. I have call them 5 times sent two e-mails and even called their corporate office. They had no problem making us pay a huge down payment and we in turned paid the rest in full on receipt.

We had a rat in our business and called Orkin. We are completely dissatisfied with the outcome. We were charged over $300.00 and it was not caught. They set traps similar to what I purchased at our local store. They did nothing other than what I did. I called to get my money back and was told that there is no guarantee they will catch anything. Don't waste your money. Buy your own traps, stinky spray, and tape.

If I could I would rate this company a zero. The customer service was terrible, Had to reschedule three times in order to get someone to come out. When tech did finally arrive, said he had to call inspector to come out. After numerous phone calls and a whole day wasted waiting for them, inspector finally showed up at 6 pm only to quote an exorbitant price with only one solution. No offer of financing if it is available. Will NOT recommend this company to anyone as they are unreliable and unprofessional.

They have taken care of my but problems in the past and are easy to set up an appointment with. Come right out to the house and made sure they knew my problem and then took care of it. Reasonably priced.

Pet owners beware. They will show up an hour early and tell you to lock your pet in the basement while they treat your entire house with chemicals that are poisonous to humans and animals alike. If you’re not there to collect your pet, they will coerce whoever is there to do it saying it’s safe. They have absolutely 0 respect for the well-being and ethical and humane treatment of animals.

We used Orkin in the past, but it did not completely resolved our issue with the box beatles, however, Orkin did work with us to have us just pay a one time fee instead of going through with the contract.

Orkin is very good at taking care of the pest in my house. The reason for me to leave is that it was too expensive with everything else going up I had to cancel them to save the money for other things.

I called this company to help with an ant problem, and they did a terrible job. Used what seemed to me like way to much poison and didn’t tell me to take any precautions with my pets. After they were done I waited a few days to check, and when I did there was still just as many ants as before.

I've used Orkin before. I was not impressed with their services. I had to have them out in half as much time as they state due to more bugs appearing. I do not think their products are the best quality in bug prevention or control.

We were told they were putting a quote together and would call us back in a day or 2. After a week, we finally reached someone and were told the job was too big for them. We wasted a week waiting on them when they could’ve just been straight with us.

Terrible service. I think my bugs and spiders are worse now than before they came. And lots of ants!! They were supposed to knock down all the spider webs from under the eves around my house, and that wasn't done either. They came back out, and still having a problem. Wouldn't refer them to anyone.

Very disappointed! Told by technician when they would be at my home. Took the day off to be home. When I called to check on the appointment, I was told there was no appointment and there was nothing they could do! There is ALWAYS a way to honor your commitment. Guess they don’t care. Would never recommend.

I was mostly happy with my service. Then for financial reasons I called to cancel my program. They refused to cancel right away. Claiming that they require a 30 day notice. Now I’m stuck with a bill that I really can’t afford right now. Shame on you Orkin.

I pay Orkin to do yearly termite service; except they don't do it. They take my money and don't show up. Even if you call them and confirm appointments, they do not come. Unless you actually threaten to sue them and report them to the attorney general's office for fraud, then perhaps they will show up. It is the worst run company one can imagine.

Hired Orkin for a clover mite problem. They only use a repellent spray that does Nothing !!! Second time they left puddles of their liquid on our wood window sills in a brand new house !!! Should have thrown my $264 out the window. We found a spray at Meijer that kills clover mite for $8. NEVER will consider Orkin for anything !

Do not have orkin for pest control. Their ad says SAME DAY SERVICE IF CALLED BEFORE 9 AM. That is a scam. I have tons of ants after just two weeks of service. When I called, I was told no one could be here for 4 days. If I wasn't on their schedule I would have to wait.

Orkin came out and put traps up for squirrels and bats and said they’d be back in 2 weeks. The squirrels made another hole through the roof ceiling. I let Orkin know. They said they’d call and set up a day for them to come out. It’s been 6 weeks! No response from them at all! They will take your money And will not fix the problem!

Told the phone appointment setter that I wanted CARPET BEETLE pest control. Next call from them to set appointment thought I had Carpenter Beetles. I corrected that. Today the man arrived and thought he was looking for bed bugs. He didn’t know what Carpet Beetles looked like and we had to show him pictures. This is highly unprofessional.
