#Orkin I am really trying to be patient with this company but I'm finding it increasingly more…read moredifficult each time I try to get answers and I'm ignored. Well over a year ago we called Orkin to address an issue we had. IMMEDIATELY upon arrival we we sold a $1500+ plan to treat what we were told was termites. Putting our trust in this company, we moved forward and paid for the $1500 treatment. The treatment required several revisits before the job was complete. Not long afterwards we were notified that in order to continue to be protected we would be required to pay an additional $250+ for yearly inspections, which we reluctantly did. VERY SOON AFTER we paid for yearly inspections we began to notice the VERY SAME activity in the VERY SAME spot that was initially said to have had termites. We called #Orkin and asked for a followup inspection. It took a few days but a technician was dispatched. He did not have any answers other than saying he needed a sample of the bugs, which appear to be beetles, the SAME bugs that were present at the onset. He advised us that the bugs would be sent to the lab and treatment would be determined from there. Well ... three weeks later and after not hearing anything back we called again. The SAME technician was dispatched and he said and did the EXACT SAME THING. He took samples of the bugs and AGAIN advised us that the bugs would be sent to the lab and treatment would be determined from there. Three MORE weeks go by and we call AGAIN, this time a supervisor was dispatched and guess what??? He advised us that the bugs would be sent to the lab and treatment would be determined from there. In addition he says that the bugs appear to be beetles and this will require a completely different treatment. I'm pretty confident that they sold us a termite treatment that we never needed and now they have left us to our own devices as we have yet to hear about the samples taken by the supervisor over two weeks ago. I've been doing some research on this company and I'm becoming more alarmed about what I'm seeing. I would NEVER RECOMMEND #ORKIN.

Today Jason came out, for the transfer of the termite treatment from the original company whom the former owner of the home had used.

I am new to Macon and by far this has been the best service of any of the services I have gone with for my home. Their work is quality and still affordable. Their ability to communicate is a bonus. If you are looking for help with any pest problems, look no further. Thanks again Jason for helping me, you are my hero!

I called up and talked to someone in the office who was very friendly and attentive. I wanted a quote and wanted a better understanding of their offerings. One of the owners was happy to talk to to me and give me all the details I wanted. I ultimately made an appointment and they were expedient in getting someone out and the service was professional and thorough. Since the service was completed they have reached out to make sure my needs were met and let me know they were available if I had any issues. Bottom line, their actions showed that they care about their customers. I am very happy with the results and effectiveness of the work. I am also happy to know that if I need them again, I can give a call and feel like I will be heard. I am happy I found these guys and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

There are lots of stray animals and we found 2 dead mice in the backyard. They sent Mr James out (I think that was his name) and I was sold just by the way he spoke to me. He didn't try to get me by scaring me into business. He assured me there wasn't activity inside and what we could do just in case. When the tech came he did the same and I loved it! A week later there was one a LOT closer, so of course I freaked. In addition, there were still ants all over the porch, in doorways, and a few in the bedrooms. I called the tech, who was super helpful to get me scheduled who then got me to office staff. She was rude, kept cutting me off and I tried brushing it off thinking maybe she had a hard day. Well, 3 weeks later I tried to call back for ants, and because of her attitude when trying to reschedule service, I just canceled altogether. I'm not going to allow anyone to make me feel like I'm an inconvenience to be a paying customer especially when what I'm requesting is within my contract.

I bought my house in 2010. It was treated by this company and I've paid $160 every year since to…read morekeep my 10 year termite certificate up to date. In 2017, I discovered termite damage in the garage. I was told the chemicals used don't last 10 years around here. They agreed to repair the damage, but I would be required to retreat the house to prevent further damage - another $800. A year later after several unreturned calls, I finally got the company's repairman out to the house. The damage was much more extensive than expected. The repairman stated that this was about 7 years of termite damage. I was shocked and angry to learn this as my house was 7 years old when I discovered the damage. Was my home ever even treated originally? Now, I'm having trouble getting the repairs finished. The company's repairman is the son in law of the company's owner, and apparently will fix the problem when we gets around to it. Today was the third last minute cancellation in the last several months after I've taken three days off work to be present during repairs. I was told that if I'd have let him come when I wasn't at home, that the job would be done by now. Does anyone blame me for wanting to SEE the actual repairs in this case? I called National this morning, and the manager's response was that he didn't control the repairman's schedule. He was supposed to have the owner contact me, but that hasn't happened yet. I asked why my repairs were less important to them than the other job the repairman prioritized over mine today. The manager said he'd talk to the owner when he got to the office, but wasn't going to call him. Again, apparently it's an inconvenience to discuss a customer being treated so poorly. Unacceptable!

Jennifer S., I grew up in this area and just wanted to add a bit to your experience. Unfortunately,…read morethe exterminating people are correct, effective and persistent termite chemicals used in the past such as DDT, chloridane, and malathion have all been banned due to their toxicity, and what is currently used is a non-toxic boric acid solution, which dissipates/loses effectiveness fairly quickly, especially in a wet or frequently wetted area (like basements and garages). It is fairly common for the initial treatment of the ground under and around a new home, done during house construction, to be rained on repeatedly before the foundation is even poured, or before the house can be "dried in", and as such it is of debatable value anymore. It is highly likely that termites moved into your home about the same time you did. Damage will not be evident until the termites have breached the living space. I realize this is of little comfort, but unfortunately this is the problem with living in the deep south, we have termites here and they really want to eat your home. National does a good job and has been in business for a long time. It is unfair to blame them for conditions they cannot control.
