I am not happy with my experience with Star City Pest Control. To start with the positives, the…read morestaff I dealt with were courteous and professional. However, they did not provide any effective assistance. I moved to a house in which some raccoons had nested in the rear awning of the house, which they had access to due to some repairs that were needed. I called Star City Pest Control, and they told me that they could put in a special door that would allow the raccoons to exit but not return. They told me this would cost $200 plus another $99 for a mandatory inspection. I balked at the idea of paying $300, but when the raccoons got bolder and started to come to my window at night I caved and called SCPC back. Star City dispatched staff for an inspection a few days later. The men who came were professional and courteous, but the inspection was short and pointless since I already knew where the raccoons were nesting and how they were getting there. The raccoons were not present when the men came by for the inspection, and it was annoying to think how easily they could have cleared the whole issue up if they could have just blockaded the entryway then and there. They did not take any measurements for the special door or do anything else productive. I did ask them to look at the attic before they left since the woman on the phone kept emphasizing to me that the inspection would necessarily include the attic. It was clear the men had already concluded that the attic was a non-issue since the awning was not connected to the attic, but I felt gypped and wanted to get my money's worth. I was shocked when I subsequently received the estimate. Instead of the $200 I had been quoted over the phone, the estimate was for nearly $700, more than it would cost to just permanently repair the awning. When I told my neighbors about the estimate, they concluded that the company was trying to exploit the fact that I am female and new to the area. One of my neighbors said he had used Star City Pest Control to have three animals removed for only $150 (SCPC denies this, but why would my neighbor lie about that?). Even if their pricing was not discriminatory, the whole business model felt predatory to me, like they are trying to take advantage of people in a state of crisis and drag out the process to make as much money as possible. Consequently, I decided I would handle the matter on my own, and I am happy to say that the raccoons are now gone. I only wish I had not bothered with Star City Pest Control in the first place; now I am out $99 for absolutely nothing.

I immediately contacted Dodson to be told I only had a "pest control" contract with them which didn't cover termites. The area manager Tim, told me, "no where on my contract was the word termite." OK..... that leads me to believe my entire house was covered under ANY pests since I have no experience in this field of business. So now I'm left to deal with a mess that I thought was covered by them, something I was under them impression that I've paid for for 5 years. NEVER AGAIN!!! Steer clear from a company that is not upfront & honest about what they cover & what they don't!!

I would have to vacuum every day for two weeks, and then they would come for a follow-up treatment, and at that point that she would be dealt with, I did not have that experience. Orkin never called me to schedule the follow up appointment on time so I had called them and then they came for the follow up. We had hoped that the problem had been resolved, but we continued to fleas so I called them and asked what they could do for me, and so they came and did another treatment. At this point I was nearing the Orkin promise Warranty and date so I had asked if they would come back if after their second full treatment it hadn't been fixed and they said they would I had asked for that in writing, and they refused to give me in writing and needless to say I vacuumed every day for 2 1/2 months... you might not realize how much time it takes to vacuum every day. The issue was supposed to have been dealt with in two weeks, but me and my roommates suffered for nearly 3 months. Oregon stopped picking up my calls and would tell me that they would call me back, but never follow up. I would not recommend Orkin to anyone especially because their "Orkin promise" is definitely not a pinky promise.
