This is such a creepy subject, I fain to write a review, but I am in hopes that someone else is…read moreencouraged by my experience. Perhaps you may have heard that their is a current bed bug epidemic in the western world. As an international traveler, frequent visiter to New York City, and hostess to friends from the Big Apple, I was well aware of the infestation. Regardless of my due diligence to prevent their appearance, (deep breath, deep breath), those nasty buggers found their way into my home. As can be expected, I went bizzurko! Clearing clutter, vacuuming, spraying over-the-counter pesticide, purchasing mattress and pillow protectors, sprinkling Diatomaceous Earth in every crack and crevice, tossing out unnecessary stuff...you name a home remedy, I probably tried it. I devoured everything I could find on the Internet to be rid of this nuisance and hours and hours of my time was consumed with annihilating it from my home. You can't underestimate the amount of anxiety and lost sleep this pestilence pestilence creates in your life. I battled it for nearly a year and half, with brief periods of reprieve, whenI finally thought I'd overcome. Finally, I acquiesced to the fact: professional help was needed. I called four companies that specialize in bed bug treatment. Out of the four, Rochester Exterminating was by far the most informed. The employee I spoke with, Patty, was thoroughly knowledgeable on the subject, spending more than 20 minutes with me on the telephone, competently answering all of my questions. Rochester Exterminating was the only company that offered both the conventional treatment (sprays and powders), and the heat treatment, (special heaters brought to the house to bring the interior temperature to a point that "cooks" the bugs). The heat treatment was extremely interesting to me, since I have pets and was very concerned about the impact of strong pesticides in the house. An appointment with Ray was scheduled for the following day. The meeting with Ray was surprisingly pleasant. He was good-natured, EXTREMELY knowledgeable, and truly sympathized with my situation. He spent more than an hour and half at my house looking at my mattress, box springs and other furniture. As life would have it, he could not see any evidence of bed bugs (chalk that up to my obsessive at-home treatments). Possibly I eradicated them, possibly they have just learned to become very good hiders, possibly the irritation on my skin could be from some other home invader. Ray was genuinely interested in my plight and was not flippant about the financial investment required for extermination. Regardless of my panicky response of: "maybe we should treat the house, just to be safe," Ray set-up little sticky boxes around the house to "catch" evidence. I am to call him next week and report what I found. In the meantime, he said, relax, live life, and understand that this problem will go away. "We have studied bugs for years and years. Eliminating them is a science that we understand." So, while in truth, Rochester Exterminating has not done any exterminating for me, yet. I know this is a trustworthy company. If, and when I do need an exterminator, they will be the ones I call. Are they the cheapest? No. Are they the most honest and competent? Absolutely!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY…read more I hired Orkin for a comprehensive wasp treatment for a nest located near my chimney--directly above my newborn's bedroom. When I called to schedule the service, I was told it would not be an issue. I paid $415 expecting professional, effective removal. What followed was a frustrating, ineffective, and misleading experience: The first technician walked around my house but did not spray the actual nest. The nest continued to grow. I requested a follow-up, specifically noting the need for a ladder to reach the nest near the roof's peak. Two weeks later, a tech returned--without a ladder. Still, I insisted he spray again and watched him do it. Wasps returned again shortly afterward. I informed Orkin that the underlying issue--a gap in the masonry--needed to be sealed to prevent the wasps from coming back. At first, they said this would not be a problem. Then, they quoted me an extra $1,500 for a scissor lift rental, despite initially promising comprehensive service. When I questioned the added cost, I was told it was because the nest was "too high." This height limitation was never mentioned during scheduling or on their website. After nearly 1.5 months, I still have an active wasp nest above my child's room. If you want transparency, follow-through, and actual pest resolution, look elsewhere. Orkin failed on every level. ADDITION: Orkin did provide me with a full refund after creating this post, and we agreed to sever our services with each other.

They told us during the first inspection that they found mice in the attic and basement when it is only a 1.5 year old house. They set up traps and we paid for them to seal up holes. The traps never found anything... Fast forward to last week when they showed up unannounced to check the status of the attic with the mice. They told us the problem was now worse and we needed to completely replace our insulation and were trying to charge us $10,000!! (This was after their "discount" off of $13,000). We've have 2 other pest companies come and inspect since and none of them have found ANY signs that there have EVER been mice. I asked them if they saw the holes that Orkin showed us picture of. The only holes they found they said were clearly made by HUMANS. No holes from mice whatsoever.

They were not able to find the source of the problem. Then, I reached out to the Optimum. They sent a technician within 5 days for a free-of-charge inspection. He was very knowledgeable and could find the source of the problem within 10 minutes. He also confirmed it was limited to one room. I needed help moving the furniture around, and the technician took care of it. The treatment provided by Optimum got rid of the bed bugs. I had a problem with spiderwebs everywhere and other outdoor bugs. I signed up for the outdoor treatment twice a year. The first one was done late fall, and so far, I don't see any bugs or spiderwebs.
