I wasn't especially pleased with them. I don't think that I would really recommend them. They broke my gutters. I just didn't like them. There are still termites in my garage. When they come, they say they can do one thing but tell you all this stuff that you need.

They have been great. They leave me a note telling me what they did and what time they did it. Their service is easy. I am happy with their price. I haven't had any pest problems since using their service.

I never had any issues with Corkey's Pest Control. I think they're pretty good. I'd give Corkey's Pest Control a B for overall experience.

They've always been very good.  They always call before they are coming so that we can be prepared.  We had an inspection, and the guy was very thorough on the inspection.  He came for the rats and noticed other things that needed attention as far as termites and mold work.

They have a very reputation so I decided to go with them. They were efficient and did what they said they would do. They were on time and explained what he was going to do. I haven't seen any bugs since they came out to spray. I thought the price was going to be higher than I actually paid. They were very responsive. I called in the evening and they called me back that day and set the appointment up within a week. They were professional.

I have used them in the past when I have had a problem.  They clean to use pet-friendly, children-friendly products on some stuff.  I would recommend them.  I called them before.  I'm a repeat customer.

This was a terrible, costly and frustrating experience that cost us thousands of dollars.
Our home was burglarized and ransacked while it was being tented, most likely on the night of 12/4. We were out of town.

 

That evening, a Corkey's representative went to ventilate the house, saw the tent had already been slashed, and still left with the house unsecured. The thieves simply slit the screen and entered through the windows you left open.  It is most likely that the actual burglary happened after that visit.   She phoned us, but had no intention of calling the police until my husband insisted upon it, as we were several hundred miles away. 

 

We have no idea when the tent was slashed and have no way of knowing that the fumigation worked. 

 

Corky's agreed that the service had been compromised but still charged us for the service. 

 

 

Only after the fact did we learn that they had left the windows cracked open under the tent.  We would have NEVER agreed to the service knowing that our home would not be secured.  And now we have no way of knowing that all this loss will also mean that the termites have been eliminated. There is nothing in our contract that says our home would be vulnerable; in fact, it says that the windows will be open only after the tent is removed.  Our representative, Hector, said our house would be secured at all time.  In fact, the contract says that unlocked doors will be nailed shut.

 

We incurred $5,000-$7,000 worth of loss.  Corky refused to refund or or pay for the $2,500 cost of our insurance deductible and immediately credit our account for the $1,690 charge for the service. We lost heirlooms that could never be replaced. 

 

 

 

They were unresposive to phone calls, lied to the credit card company about meeting with the police officers that night, and tried to initimidate me through having their attorney call me.
At one point, I told the attorney, Barbara Casino, that we would have never used Corky's if we knew our house would be left unsecured.  She replied, "We would have never tented your house if we knew it would be burglarized."
PLEASE do not use them; they were just awful!

Each service probably takes them about 45 minutes. They spray around the house and do what they’re supposed to do.

I've been using them for several years. They show up when they're supposed to & call me when they're on their way. I had a big problem with tree rats & it's completely taken care of no other issue.

I am pleased with them.  I have used them for about 3 years.  Everything has been excellent except for 2 billing problems.  We will continue to use them unless something else comes up.

I was called to set up an inspection and was told that because it was a inspection for escrow they would h ave to charge $75 for the estimate whether or not there was and infestation. If there was and they did the work it would be waived.  I asked if   other companies do the same and the person said yes.  After calling two other companies one did not even mention a charge and the other said there would be a charge if there was NO infestation.  Now those last to seem reasonable, but for Corkys' to make me feel obligated is unacceptable!

They were very thorough. I have used for the last four years. They show up when they say they will and I have had no problems. They do what they say they are going to do, we are happy with results.

In the beginning I really, really like them. The reason we moved away from the was because the guy that started doing our service wasn't neat. He would spray around and was very willy nilly, and I didn't like it.

I went with them because they had the lowest price.  He came over, and gave me a bid.  They subcontract the work.  They called me back a lot afterwards to sell me different services.

They worked with us to determine the damage. Our general contractor came out to make the repairs, and then they came back out to check it again. They did a good job.

I am in real estate and use them quite often. They have been around a long time. They have a good reputation and they do the job right the first time. Their pricing is pretty competitive. They are higher quality than most.

They’re very good.  What’s really nice is that they charge my credit card directly and I don’t have to be billed. I don't have any comparison for the price but I feel like it's fair.  I would say their professionalism is good, including their accounting office.

I am on a regular schedule with them and have been using them for about 10 years. When we first started we have had problems with ants and they took care of the issue so we just stayed with them.
