This is one of the WORST experiences we have ever had dealing with a branch office of a national company! These people sent out a very nice guy who saw how horribly infested we were with roaches in our kitchen. He lived VERY near by and said as a favor he would stop by more than once a month and give us some extra attention and we were totally charmed. We would have been HAPPY to have paid for that attention, but he offered so we accepted. He came 2 more times, very fast, in and out and not even saying Hi to us....and then he DISAPPEARED. He did not tell his office manager. He just left us without service.
Finally I called the manager and he came out here and although he didn't do a service, he said he was very sorry this had happened. He made up some story that the guy's route had changed. We did just not believe him. You know how sometimes you get a feeling someone's lying to you? Well, we both got that feeling. Then he said he would send another tech guy up. Well, this guy REFUSED to come to our house because we lived on a partly unpaved road. Half paved, half unpaved. He's driving the COMPANY'S TRUCK, not his own car. So he STANDS US UP, never calls, and doesn't tell the branch manager either. Just like the first guy. This second guy, JAMES, is a patsy because "he bottomed out and it scared him". OMG. WE've driven this road for 25 years and never had an accident! The first guy lied to his manager and told him that WE had a problem with him. His name is TODD.
Now the branch manager, whom I've been trying to get in touch with, but all of a sudden is not available; tells me he's got a friend at a different company and he'll pay for 3 service calls for us to use this other company. Okay, we say...send them. Well, this other company, ALOHA PEST CONTROL in KAILUA-KONA, BIG ISLAND, stands us up too. The office calls the next day to say the guys got "lost". Why they didn't call US is a wonder? SO, they never call back, and we never find out why they didn't come and service us!!
I call JED HORN, THE ORKIN BRANCH MANAGER AND TELL HIM WE NEED SERVICE!! YOUR FRIEND NEVER CAME AND WE NEED HELP. Also, we paid for 6 mos of service and only got one official spray. He promises to refund our money but he doesn't even do that! So we're out money and IN with the roaches.
SO, now 5 weeks later and the roaches are GROWING BIG PLUS multiplying by the hundreds, and I can't stand it. I can't go in the kitchen, it's freaking me out.
SO, DO YOURSELVES A FAVOR. DO NOT TRUST JED HORN AT ORKIN AND ANYONE FROM ALOHA PEST CONTROL. THIS LEAVES US WITH ONLY ONE OTHER COMPANY TO TRY, WHICH IS TERMINEX. WE HAD TERMINEX AND did not use them again specifically because THEY ARE CHINTZY ON THE BUG SPRAY AND WE ALWAYS KNEW THAT AND THEY ALWAYS DENIED IT.
I DON'T KNOW OF ANY GOOD PEST CONTROL IN KAILUA-KONA. If anyone out there has access to the professional bug spray that we can buy PLEASE LET US KNOW! OR, if you know of a company that is not a goof-off PLEASE DO let us know that too. Thank You. Oh, we're in Honaunau, and no one likes to drive 20 miles south of kailua-kona. We are not ogres, no dogs, and there is no good reason why a company cannot come over and do this service. We are desperate for any help anyone out there might have. Thank you! read more
