SPRK is not only honest but their techs are highly experienced and knowledgeable. They took care of a hornet nest for us and they did it right so it never came back. After that experience we signed up for the quarterly pest service with them and never had any more issues. I am always someone who asks a lot of questions and I've genuinely learned a lot about insects and keeping my house pest-free from talking to them. In an industry like pest control you have to know your stuff, and they do.

I want to take a moment to comment on their mosquito service. We used them for our house at Lake Anna for over two years. Before we had Pestek Pro, we spent hundreds of dollars at Home Depot (my husband's favorite store) on mosquito treatment. NOTHING worked. Being close to the lake the mosquito's were bad. You would walk outside and you couldn't help but them finding you. After getting fed up from spending money on products that didn't work and getting tired of getting mosquito bites, my parents told me about Pestek Pro. I called them and they came a few days later! After they did their service.... It was night and day difference. Unbelievable! You would see an occasional mosquito (maybe one or two, every so often), but that is to be expected. There were no more mosquito bites, we could actually sit on our front porch and deck in peace! Visiting different neighbors in the neighborhood, we would get overtaken by mosquito's..... As soon as we got back to our yard - Nothing! My neighbors couldn't believe it! Sorry for the long review, I just love this company and their service! They do awesome keeping the normal bugs at bay, but its amazing what I seen them do with our mosquito issue! Forever a Pestek Pro customer! Oh, they are reasonably priced to boot - can't get any better than that!! Thanks for everything Shane and Brian! - Jen Trynock

For starters, the owners Brian and Shane are awesome! I had them out to my office to treat for…read morecockroaches and had already committed to giving them a contract to resolve the issues. When they came out they treated the location and then proceeded to tell me that the cockroaches were just wood roaches and there was no fear of infestation. That perhaps the landscaping company riled them up and they sought shelter inside. Right then and there I was being told I didn't need to necessarily have a contract for future service and that they would be gone right away. WOW! The honesty of the dynamic duo was impressive so I rewarded them with a contract to ensure no other creepy crawlies showed up. They continue to be the highlight of my week whenever they come into my office. :)

TLDR: Orkin lies. Go local instead. They tried scamming me for more money, and refused to refund me…read moreafter they failed to do what they promised. Long Review: Stay away from this company. I've worked in real estate and called for estimates from exterminators in several states, Orkin has brought me the worst experience I've ever had. I inquired about a mouse issue, the person on the phone was pressuring me to buy quickly as possible. He offered a discount that would go away if I hung up. This is a slimy sales tactic and I should've stopped there. Because the service they gave me was a blatant lie from what I was promised on the telephone. After being pressured to not inquire with other companies, I decided to let Orkin inspect my home for pests. I was promised mouse traps and the enclosure of holes for the rats so they wouldn't re-enter. Visiting my house, they REFUSED TO CLOSE THE HOLES, and told me that it was worst for the infestation if they closed them. They said specifically that closing the holes would "rile and trap the rats indoors." Later I contacted another company, and they told me there would be nothing wrong with closing these gaps. And they even looked confused to suggest that closing holes could make a rat infestation worse. So Orkin not only failed to provide the service that was promised, THEY ALSO LIED by saying that closing the gaps was worst for my house. When Orkin inspected my house, they explained to me that rats were entering through the roof and living in my attic, and I needed to fumigate my home to get rid of them. I am now convinced that Orkin only said this to charge me more for a service that was completely unnecessary. Orkin said the cost would be upward to SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. I'm extremely happy I didn't pay for this. The other company explained to me that fumigating my home was unnecessary and it was unlikely rats were entering through the roof. Instead, this second company completed the service that Orkin refused to provide, and they filled the gaps, window cracks, and holes with wire meshes. This was something that was promised by Orkin that they didn't provide. And unlike Orkin, the new company I called had no issue of me contacting other exterminators in the area, and were much more courteous than the Orkin inspector who insisted that there was nothing they could do to stop the rats. Not only was this second company not charging me for any of the extra work, but they behaved very cordially while encouraging me to inquire others in case their work wasn't enough. Orkin made me feel like their services were the only option, with a sense of emergency to pay them for extra services as quickly as possible. This is a very dishonest sales tactic, and made me unnecessarily stress in the process of buying a new home for my family. When I decided to call back for a refund, which I felt was justified since Orkin didn't close the gaps like they promised me they would, they refused. Not only did they refuse, but they had the audacity to say that closing gaps wasn't in their services for the initial inspection. Even though that was the primary service promised for their first visit. It was the whole reason I called them out, and they wouldn't even give me a refund for their failure to provide what they promised. I'm very upset with Orkin, and am going to let everyone I know not to use their services because of the blatant disrespect I've felt throughout this entire process. I don't want to cause any issues by naming the better company that I've picked instead. I will just say that I recommend for everyone to look for a local exterminator company instead of Orkin.

I was embarrassed because I am a very clean person but have been seeing big American Cockroaches in my basement apartment and was feeling completely overwhelmed--especially being stuck at home recovering from surgery. Mike came out on 5/8 to do an interior/exterior treatment, and WOW... these bugs didn't know what hit them!! That very night, I could tell the treatment was working. One roach was already stuck in a sticky trap, and another looked sluggish--until it crawled onto the ceiling and flew at me! (Yes, I found out the hard way that roaches can fly. LOL) Needless to say I stayed the night at my parents. When I came back the next morning, it was dead in a trap--and since then, I've found a few more dead roaches in traps and even some dead camel/cave crickets (bonus it's working on them!). The difference has been huge, and I finally feel like I'm getting my peace of mind back. If you want excellent service and want to support a family owned and operated business, look no further than Slug A Bug. I'm beyond impressed with the results from just one treatment and can't wait for the next round to hopefully wipe the rest out completely. Thank you all so much for your excellent work! Highly recommend Slug A Bug because they will put the smack down on your pests!! Thank you Mike!!!

My Family unfortunately brought back bedbugs from a family vacation in June that contaminated our…read moremaster bedroom. The bedbugs were contained to one room, our master bedroom, and we contracted Orkin in Manassas to kill the bedbugs. After 2 full treatments, one month apart, we still have bedbugs. During the 2nd treatment, Orkin performed an inspection and claimed that the bedbugs were dead and we could "return to our normal life." We waited an additional 3 weeks before returning our bedroom to normal and found bedbugs again. This has been going on for nearly 2 months and we have spent over $600.00 in services. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you do not use Orkin services and find a different pest control company who deserves your money. I am requesting a full refund from Orkin for failing and hope that you will make a better choice in pest control services than I did.
