Eliminate Pests in Columbia, PA

• "rst review I’ve ever written for company… It is therefore somewhat verbose. - I called multiple companies to get help with a mouse problem in my house. The gentleman I spoke with at my initial contact was very helpful and offered me several options for appointments. He was willing to come out same day or the next day. Initially, I took the next day appointment because I had plans. I continued to hear the little varmint in my wall scratch and chew. I called back on the same phone number-within three minutes- and asked if I could have a same day appointment. I was transferred multiple times and eventually reached a local office. The woman advised me she would have to check schedules before making a change to my appointment. I told her I understood but I was going to continue to contact companies to see if I can get someone to come sooner because quite frankly, I was a little freaked out about hearing the racket in my wall. The woman asked for a little bit more detail, and I explained we had a bird parentheses a pet bird not a wild bird), and I’m sure the mouse/mice came inside as the weather has gotten colder and he could get a free meal from the birds. Parentheses birdseed) the woman then went on to explain that if it is not a mouse but I larger passed in my wall, that Oregon did not trapping animals and I would have to call someone else. I explain, it wasn’t an animal that needed to be trapped, I was positive it was a mouse. Regardless, she wanted me to understand that large vermin are not handled by Orkin That said, the gentleman arrived on time today, for which I was grateful. He looked on the first floor and then in the basement. He then came in with a box of mouse traps and set several. He put them in the basement and first floor. He did not look upstairs on the second floor although, I was asked at the initial phone call “how many bedrooms and bathrooms“. After he said the traps, I asked if that was all he was going to do for the mice and he said “yes“. He then said he would spray for some bugs. I said to the gentleman quote how do I known to said 12 to 25 traps to catch a mouse, I probably could’ve saved a lot of money. Regardless, I did explain I have been unsuccessful thus far catching this mouse. He said “you found the smart one“. At the initial contact with the company, I was advised a complete inspection of the home would be done. Inside and out. Quite honestly, that did not take place. I will say, the gentleman was friendly, he was not put off by my two large dogs parentheses who were quite friendly), explain what he was doing mine questions were asked, and reviewed the contract once he was completed. You did explain that he likely wouldn’t be the individual returns in three months for the next treatment, As it seems I am obligated for the next several treatments. I am hopeful, the treatments are successful and Berman is caught killed or chased off. FYI? I have never written a review for any company. I felt this was important simply because of the disparity between what I was told on the phone and what actually took place. The st I have never written a review for any company. I felt this was important simply because of the disparity between what I was told on the phone and what actually took place. The 3-star Rating was for the friendliness of the technician and not much more. If I asked “Would I recommend Orkin Pest and Termite Control”? I would honestly have to say’ No, not based on this service and my experience with same"

• "itial pest control visit, evaluation, and treatment. Everyone with whom I spoke both prior to and afterwards was professional and knowledgeable. Terry, who came to the house, was thorough, and explained everything he did & why, and how it works. I appreciate the education as well as bug-proofing my home. He wore shoe covers to protect floors without my even asking; totally professional and respectful. He clearly has great knowledge and expertise. He even noticed a couple of things around the outside of my home like a loose screen & pointed them out to me. I have had good pest control services in other homes but never one as complete as this initial visit. I look forward to continuing with Orkin. Thank you"
