I tried everything to get rid of ants and eventually called a pro. I explained that traps did nothing so the person suggested a spray inside and out. They offered a year contract so I was guaranteed I would have none all year. As soon as I signed that contract the excuses started. "I'll set traps since we need to schedule the spray and you need to be out for 5 hours". Traps set and never called again. After 3 weeks I called them. "It's raining so we can only spray inside." They showed up randomly and when I told them I couldn't leave during a work day (I work at home) they said they would call to reschedule. No call. Repeat this for months. Still have ants but the year is over. I complained so they finally did the spray and was told it would be no charge. I got a bill 2 months later. Never use these people! read more

We had a huge, low-hanging hornet nest in our backyard--much too dangerous to tackle on our own. I filled out the estimate form on the Orkin website late one evening, and received a call the next morning from Gabe Arguelles. He came within an hour and got rid of the nest in record time and without incident. I found the fee (Orkin's minimum) reasonable, considering the promptness and efficiency of the service. I wish to commend Gabe for his manner, too; he was friendly and fun. Although I hope I won't need to call Orkin ever again, I would certainly do so if necessary, and I would ask for Gabe!

John Headen at Orkin is very competent, kind and professional. Most importantly, he gets the job done. I appreciate this type of service very much especially when dealing with infestations. read more

So far... not good and I haven't even had them over to look. The Orkin website says free estimate but when I talked to their contractor in Colwood... they dropped the r and wanted me to pay a fee for the estimate. That is false advertising in my books. read more

I never thought I would ever review an exterminator, but I am, because the service is that great. On a recommendation from a friend I called the Orkinman. I have, or should I now say had, a dreadful wasp issue in my crawl space that was getting out of control. Initially the office told me some one wouldn't be able to call me until tomorrow as the schedule is pretty busy. Someone called me a few hours later and less than an hour after that two colonies of the little stingers were evicted from the premises. The guy who came to my house is no Billy the exterminator, he was more like the wasp whisperer. I had expected to pay an arm and a leg, but it was far less than I expected and should the irate inhabitants return there's a lifetime guarantee (for the season), but I doubt any of them will be returning anytime soon. read more
