We had the strangest thing -- a hefty hive of yellow jackets nested in our garden hose reel. I…read morecontacted Bulwark after other exterminators either turned their noses up to driving to Hillsborough or wanted a year-long service contract commitment before they'd lift a finger to help. It was a Friday and Bulwark didn't have an immediate opening to come out but, a few hours later, they called to say that someone could come out on Monday. That was great, since I'm allergic to yellow jacket stings! Erik arrived in the service window and I could tell he also dreaded this atypical hive removal. Yet he still suited up and went at the problem with determination. Not only did he kill a WHOLE LOT of angry hornets, he bagged up the hose bits so that any stragglers couldn't come after me and took the nastiest part of the hive away in his truck (probably to interrogate the survivors). Afterward Erik gave me a careful report of what he did and warned us about dead-but-still-stingable bugs in the yard. I am very happy (and relieved) that I got a professional in Erik.

I initially requested service for ants and mosquitoes. I was only treated for mosquitoes as that is…read morewhat was on the service technicians log. Received different quotes from the person who called and a different person via this messaging app which is a very large difference range of $50-$80; as a result of that leaving a three star rating until I get clarification. First treatment was good, Robert was very patient in explaining various treatment options and how it works. The yard was sprayed for mosquitoes and I was informed it's due to rain, if I need them to return they will without additional charges. Overall I'm pleased so far and will have to wait to see if the mosquito treatment is a success.

Stephen put me at ease immediately assuring me that the problem was not bad. He inspected the room in question and determined that it wasn't bedbugs (an expensive problem to get rid of) but that the problem was baby deer ticks. That was bad but could have been much worse. The kindness, knowledge and professionalism shown was so appreciate. I would highly recommend contacting and trusting Durham Orkin! Thank you Matt and thank you Stephen!!

The lady that answered the phone wouldnt let me talk to a specialist, she just kept asking me if I wanted someone to come and treat the house! Its very complex whats going on at my brothers house. He has infestations of earwigs, several species of aunts, one of which is a colonization of imported red fire ants. I believe its all stemming from the giant ponderosa pines lining his property that are sick. She said they only exterminate inside the house. They dont do trees, Id have to get a landscaper! I told her that I had a forestry specialist coming to advise about the trees and that I was calling Orkin to address the infestations of the various species of ants, earwigs and several small dead snakes ive found on sidewalks in past couple days. that the insects were a result of the sick trees and I needed to talk to a pest specialist about the infestations. she said they dont do trees, that she could send someone out to treat the house!! Grrrr! I told her I needed to speak to a specialist that could understand what im dealing with and she said she could send one out to treat house! I told her that by just trying to sales pitch me and not letting me talk to someone that knows what they are talking about lost a possible good steady customer! Then I hung up. my brother has had a steady exterminator coming in here for years and the guy did not do anything for all these infestations! Never even mentioned any of these issues or noticed or remedied even the earwigs that are all through his house! Im not about to bring another exterminator in for just more of the same! which is just taking my brothers money and doing absolutely nothing!

Had inspection done for what I thought might be termite damage of my porch steps. Troy came out…read moreand inspected the area in question and the rest of the house foundation, crawl space and garage. He found no termite activity and said the stair damage was from wood rot/water damage. I really appreciate the time he spent inspecting the house and explaining what he found, especially since he didn't charge anything for the inspection. What really impressed me was that he didn't try to push me into buying a treatment or maintenance program. He gave me some options for preventative treatment, if I so desired, but didn't push me to have anything done. Just said to let him know if later I decided I was interested in doing something. Highly recommend.

We had previously used Bulwark, and the service seemed good; however, since using the service in…read moreDurham, we have been entirely unsatisfied. First, we had initially called them for mosquito control, but we have continued to have mosquitoes. Worse, after more than a year, when we cancelled our service with them, we learned that they had not been spraying for mosquitoes, which is obviously ridiculous since we had initially employed them to do just that. Second, we had them come to address fleas in our yard, and even with follow-ups, they haven't been able to address the issue. Even with using Frontline on our dogs every month, we still have them in the yard during the summer, and we live in central Durham--an urban area. It doesn't seem difficult to address them. Just do the job we pay you for. Third, 'technicians" come out to your house every month, but consistent with the lack of results above, I'm not sure they actually do anything. I just watched our last "technician" Josh merely walk around the house for a few minutes for our $60/mo. treatment. Didn't seem like he did anything. Sixty bucks for a couple-minute lap around the house with no results seems like an exploitative payday. Given that and the lack of results, we have cancelled with Bulwark and will be seeking other/better pest companies. I would not recommend them. The results speak for themselves--nil
