Orkin Pest Control

They come out every 2 months. They do an excellent job.

I only wanted a one time treatment. the salesman pushed too hard to up sell me to a 6 month or year contract. I rent and told him so in the beginning. Had to tell him VERY FIRMLY, NO. They got rid of my ants on the one visit.

n Tukwila, the Orkin rep arrived, and to do the inspection, he needed to go up thru ceiling trap into eaves, and also go under house and inspect large, easy access crawl space. He first entered house from muddy outside without putting on protective booties, and proceded to shed debris and mud from outside, onto our cream colored carpet. Then went up into the attic access. when he came back down, announced there was no evidence of rodent activity in attic. HOWEVER, he forgot to mention that on the way thru, he broke the framing for attic access door, and damaged the connecting drywall. He simply closed the closet door and left the broken mess. Then he went under the house to examine for problems. ( We had already examined the area ourselves day before, noted significant amounts of fresh rodent manure trails, and several holes gnawed thru the wood above foundation, to allow their access into crawl space. we had taken several photos to document the areas of concern to show the Orkin rep. we alreadyknew there was a problem, and needed to come up with a plan from a professional service specializing in pest control, to take care of the problem. After a VERY breif inspection under the house, the orkin rep came out and said there was no evidence of rodent problems under the house. just some old dusty spring traps, and dried rodent feces, obviously from a long time ago. no need for worry. when we showed the rep phots of the fecal and quot;trailand quot; along the heater ducts, and the nesting areas + holes thru the side of the house, he shrugged and said he must have missed that part. NOT very professional, did not even offer to go back under house and examine again. We were shocked at his and quot;oops, oh well!and quot; attitude. He then went back out to his truck ( to bring the and quot;examination and contractand quot; paperwork back, we assumed) but no. Instead, we looked out the window, and he was already spraying bug killer chemicals around the outside of the house! when we asked him to stop immediately, because we had an elderly dog near by, and at any rate, didn't want spray, we wanted pest/rodent removal, he just kept on spraying, saying as soon as it was dry, it couldn't hurt the animals. The dog was right there next to the door, while he was spraying chemicals!! when we got him to stop, and asked him again to explain why he thought there were no rodents around, he tried to enter back into the house with his spray unit still on, and it was leaking chenicals out the back. good grief! When we asked him to leave, all he wanted to do was to get us to sign for an extended contract, and set up days to return to spray again. he just didn;t want to leave without our commitment for a contract service. We felt VERY pressured, and are not happy in any way with the service. Called the office and explained about our and quot;experienceand quot; , and manager apologized and gave refund, and offered to pay for any repairs. nice guy, but the technitians seem under trained and disinterested, this is my SECOND bad experience with the Orkin company, and I would not ever use again, nor will I recommend to others.

We switched to Orkin because they offered cheaper pricing than our other provider. They were honest about the price and job they would be doing.

I haven't had any problems so far. Overall, they do a good job. I will continue to use them for future service. The approximate cost listed is what I pay per service visit.

In the beginning, I had to leave a couple of messages. They did return my calls promptly, but we were playing phone tag and kept missing each other. Then I was able to set up an appointment. The guys that came out were really friendly and courteous. They had to come back an additional two times to re-treat and each visit they were courteous and friendly. I have not seen the ants come back.

Orkin really did a great job on the extermination. The price was very inexpensive and so far the program is working very well. The carpenter ants are starting to die off rather quickly. I really liked the fact that they were here fifteen minutes early.

We don't ever have to worry about them coming and getting the job done. They have a great customer service team who calls to make sure that you'll be there. They do a great job and take off.

I have not had any problems with any more ants, after they came over. They have been coming back regularly to do the checkups. I will decide whether or not to go to them, afterwards and sign some kind of contract. I can't remember what I spent that last time.

They are very knowledgeable since they have been doing this work for a long time. They are very responsive and they always come when they are supposed to. They do an effective job and I would recommend them to everyone.

This company's personnel that I worked with were polite, informed, and took time to answer all questions. Sam was on time, set my mind at ease about the problem I was having, did his work, and left. I have only seen one ant since the work was done.

They started out doing a good job and by the end they weren't getting the job done.

I THINK THEIR RESPONSE TIME WAS GOOD. WHEN I CALLED AND NEEDED THEM TO COME OUT, THEY DID, AND THEY SET TRAPS. SINCE THEY HAVE COME, WE HAVE NOT HAD ONE PROBLEM. THE QUALITY OF THEIR WORK IS GOOD.

THEY ARE COURTEOUS AND ON TIME. THEY GET AN "A" FOR EVERYTHING. THEY HAVE BEEN COMING HERE EVERY MONTH FOR TWO YEARS.

WE WERE SATISFIED. THEY WERE RECOMMENDED TO US BY FRIENDS, AND I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM AS WELL. I THOUGHT THEY DID A GOOD JOB. THEY WERE ON TIME AND GOOD.

THE PRICE WAS COMPETITIVE. THE WORK WAS GOOD. THEY SHOWED UP, AND THEY DID THEIR JOB. PROFESSIONALISM WAS GOOD.

THEY DID A THOROUGH JOB. CAME IN AND ASKED GOOD QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR PROBLEM AND ACTED VERY PROFESSIONAL. I COULD NEVER EXPECT ANYTHING MORE. THEY WERE GREAT!

THEY ARE PUNCTUAL, AND THEY DO THEIR JOB WELL. ALTHOUGH, I DO NOT APPRECIATE BEING BILLED BEFORE THE WORK IS DONE. ALSO, I THINK THE COST IS TOO HIGH FOR ONE MONTH. I ALSO DO NOT LIKE THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CONTRACT FOR ONE YEAR.

INITIALLY, WE HAD GREAT SERVICE DUE TO THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. WE HAD THAT CAME BY MONTHLY. HE WAS RESPONSIVE and THOROUGH. UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN WE GOT A NEW SERVICE REP., WE HAD THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE SERVICE and ENDED UP CANCELING.

THE TECHNICIAN HAS BEEN VERY RELIABLE OVER THE YEARS WE HAVE BEEN USING ORKIN. HE IS ALSO VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE PESTS HE TREATS OUR HOUSE FOR. WE HAVE BEEN PLEASED WITH ORKIN'S SERVICE.

I AM VERY SATISFIED WITH THE WORK OF ORKIN. SINCE ORKIN HAS COME OUT, WE HAVE NOT SEEN ANY ANTS. THEY PROVIDE A VERY VALUABLE SERVICE, ESPECIALLY IN OUR WOODED LOT.
