Orkin Pest Control

We don't have them all year. We just have them from April through October.

They keep the spiders away and that's what counts. It usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes to do the job. The workers are very professional and very friendly.

Over the phone we determined the ants were carpenter ants, which can nest inside the wood of which the house is built. I was told that the exterminator would look for the source of the ants, spray outside, and drill holes in the walls from which to insert insecticide. I was told there would be no spray inside the house, which I didn't want due to the chemicals it's made of. The exterminator looked around the outside of the house and determined the ants were not nesting in the house but we're coming from some ivy in the yard. He sprayed outside the house, and then sprayed inside, telling me that drilling pinholes into the wall is not the way they do it. He did relay this complaint to a man I assume was his manager, and they cut my bill in half. Because the ants were not nesting in the house, I did not feel it necessary to contract for a year's worth of spraying, and cancelled the remarks Nader of the contract. Several days later, I was seeing a few ants each day, so I called to ask if this was normal. The person who answered the phone said she did not know but would have the exterminator call me. I did not get a call back. The next day, my son looked around the house to see what he could find since I was still seeing ants, and found a nest inside the wood at the inner corner of my deck and in the foundation beams at the corner of my house. He has spent the day removing the nest from the wood and cutting it out to replace with new wood. If he had not gone looking, I would have believed there were no ant nests in my house, possibly called them back to keep spraying as I saw more ants, and all the while the beams under my house would continue to be destroyed.
