Orkin-Lorton

Easy pease

The price has been about the same. It may have gone up a little but it has not gone up very much. They are good because we have kept up the service. We have always been very pleased with them.

We have an annual contract. They come out and check every three months or two months. They come out on the schedule. Unless something is wrong, they don't tell us. They just leave a note saying, "We've been there." The contract is $400, plus or minus a couple, a year. We haven't had termites.

They were good. Overall, I would grade their services as "A". I would use their services again in the future.

It went fine until I noticed the technician pouring a brown sandy substance all over my flower beds. I asked what it was and he told me it was to attract ants. I have two dogs and I asked was it harmful to dogs. He replied no and that dogs do not go near this product. Both of my dogs were so interested in it and one started to eat the substance. Long story short when I called the Orkin office and found out it was indeed harmful to pets I was shocked. My dog is fine but I had to spend all day hosing down the areas all over the perimeter of my house and keep the dogs in. Poison control and my Veterinarian had me watch my dog for any symptoms and he is fine. I canceled my Orkin contract and asked that they better educate the technicians.
