I called Mike because of wasp nests that appeared around my garage and patio doors. While most…read morewebsites tell you that nests are likely dead when you spot them and are usually safe to remove, that's a dangerous thing to tell someone that has an allergy to bee stings, or anyone who hasn't suffered a sting before. Especially when it only takes a couple hundred for a professional to do it safely. Mike didn't give me a hard time at all for my rationale. In fact, he fully understood where I was coming from and gave me a reasonable rate to do what is technically the minimum that was needed to solve the problem: remove the nests and prevent new ones from being formed at least for a little while. You know what he says about knowing whether a nest is dead or not? You can't really tell, there's no good answer. Is that Mike justifying job security? I don't think so. Not when he spends a few extra minutes after he's technically done with the job looking over my windows and spraying any additional ones he could find. He didn't have to do that. He didn't have his ladder on him to remove that extra nest by my second floor window, but I can do that myself. I just need to know it's dead. So for what I paid, I got a person who listened, set the right expectations, and even adjusted his methods to adapt to each situation. I also got a person I'll use again whenever I have another situation like this in the future. I don't write reviews often for services like this unless it's clear there's a competent, reliable, and compassionate person behind the work, and Mike's all of that. Thanks for your help, Mike.

Minus Stars but not available to post...Beware... I had the worst experience with this company,…read moremainly the management at the Columbia South Carolina office, mainly with manager Brian Alexander and worker Jeffrey Goin. I resigned a contract with Orkin for services I had prior and all was good until they came out for the 1st treatment and advised my son who lives in a house off campus that the contract we signed is way too low in price and refused to treat the house. I called and manager refused to call me back, after 10 attempts and speaking to 10 different very nice ladies. At last After my last attempt he decides to call my son a 20 year and talked inappropriately to him advising him again that they will not honor the contract. I called again frustrated about the lack of calling me back an adult that signed the contract to deal with. But Brian only is man enough to deal with kids. I will be reporting him to corporate with no regards to how to deal with kids or honoring a contract... who is JOKER making his own rules. Never do business with Orkin my goal is make sure I make as many as can aware. Going to post this on every possible outlet. Kids are not in good hands with Brian Alexander at ORKIN SC.

If you need an exterminator for bed bugs, this man is not your guy. He came for an appointment…read moretoday and was here for 5 minutes. Yes, you read that right... 5 minutes. For a bed bug problem. All he did was spray some pesticides and barely covered any ground. Bed bugs are a very different pest from any other pest you'll deal with, and he accomplished absolutely nothing for us today. I work remote and planned on working at a coffee shop today, and wasted my time planning around the appointment because we were informed that we would need to vacate our apartment while they did work around our house. So much for that! I would have expected at least SOME effort to inspect our apartment and maybe try and look around for where they might be. Nope! Barely even lifted a finger. His colleague stood outside the house the entire time, and Gary wasn't even willing to touch the mattress. I had to pull it out for him. What kind of exterminator is afraid of getting their hands dirty? It's your job to find bugs and exterminate them. At least pretend you're trying dude. Before he came, he had us empty all of our dressers and put our clothes in airtight bins. I'll admit, that's good advice, but that's something you'd probably read online before dumping money and time on someone like this. So yeah, thanks for regurgitating obvious information to me. This guy didn't even bother looking into any dressers or closely inspect any of our beds. He made absolutely no effort on his part. I ended up finding more bed bugs myself after thoroughly inspecting my roomate's room, and putting actual effort into making sure that we dealt with them the best way we could for the meantime. If you are reading this and you've discovered bed bugs in an early stage and it's not a big infestation yet, I highly recommend that you watch Mark Rober's bed bug video and follow it religiously. Buy bed bug traps for your bed, encase your bed in a high quality bed mattress cover, apply diatomaceous earth powder in a thin layer around your room (please wear a N95 mask and do your best not to inhale any of it), etc. Follow everything in that video before your bed bug problem becomes an infestation. Please watch that video. It will do you justice. If you caught your bed bug problem too late, you'll need a professional. In other words, not this guy. He might have good reviews for other pests, but he has absolutely no idea what he's doing in regards to bed bugs. He's afraid of them. He ain't gonna help you. Thanks for nothing, I'm sure whatever my landlord paid you was worth it.

I first hired a national company to take care of yellow jackets nest. A guy came, did some…read morespraying, told me the YJ would be gone in a day. Next day, YJ were having a party and did not appear like they wanted to leave. I found Family Termite & Pest Control on Yelp the next day. What caught my attention is that the company does not have you sign any contracts, they come and take care of things that you ask them to take care of. I left a message on Yelp and received a response from Gary in fairly short timeframe. He was at my door steps the following morning and took care of the problem. That same evening, I did not see a single YJ. Gary took care of the problem in quick and effective manner. Price was also very reasonable. I will definitely consider FT&PC for any future pest needs.
