• "The two young men, Ben and Leslie, who came to my house to inspect, were as polite and professional as a person could ask for. If that was what you pay for they've got the market cornered. I realize the service they provide is crucial and preventative, but all the charm in the world can't help a Senior couple on SSI afford what is simply out of their reach. They tried. Boy, they tried. Ben ended up with a contract treating the house inside for creepy crawlys bimonthly, but before it's over we're going to have to get termite treatment too. We just can't afford what Orkin wants for it. Update: 4/21/2025 Our scheduled Orkin appointment was due today. We have been experiencing absolutely "NO" cockroaches. There is the occasional black rice (mouse poop) under the counter where our crackers and chips go, but we keep all that stuff in a very large metal mixing bowl with a round bottom. A mouse can smell it, but can't climb in it. So far that's worked. The only problem we've had inside has been black ants. Outside we have experienced a plethora of wasps and Carpenter Bees. I made some hornet nests out of paper bags and that's helped with the wasps. We have two bee traps that we empty every other day and they catch 10-15 bees a week. Gracy and I daily fight them with our swatting rackets and have gotten pretty good at killing them. They don't seem deterred by the hornet's nests, but the wasps are. At any rate, our regular guy didn't come today. They sent someone different to service our house and he really did an extra heavy treatment on the house. He set traps out inside for the ants and then placed some sort of sand type substance outside for them to take back to there queen. Then as we were sitting here waiting for him to leave we heard a motor start running. I looked out and he was treating our porch for bees and wasps. This guy was going over the top. I never did catch his name, but all I can say the staff at Orkin goes out of their way to make the home owner feel safe and satisfied. Money well spent. I'm changing my review to a 4 star. If a find they didn't jack up my bill in the process, I'll bump it on up to a "5". Update June 10, 2025 the wasps on the porch have gone somewhere else. Last year they were EVERYWHERE!!! This year we might see one or two a day. That's WAY do-able! I'm not sure if my papers bag hornet nests had anything to do with detering them or the spray the guy sprayed out on the porch but the price didn't go up...and that's what counts. Yeah ORKIN!!! UPDATE: 11/09/2025 All of the sudden we have Waterbugs! Not just one or two, but a blue million water bugs. Like we're the guest of honor at the annual "Waterbug Thanksgiving" dinner. Now Ben, our regular guy, keeps our place sprayed and pretty well pest free so they had to have come in in some groceries that we brought in. The tiniest ones can be parents in a mater of a week. I was washing a bag of sweet potatoes when I noticed them. I dumped them in the sink and those basturds scattered like broken glass from a windshield. I started swatting and smashing and got as many as I could catch, but you can't catch'em all. For the next few days every time I turned the lights on in the kitchen you could see them run from me. We had already put food away from this trip, so we went back and gathered it all up. Any paper packages were tossed. Cans had labels peeled and replaced with SHARPEE writing. Under sink counters were cleaned and DRIED! Then we called Orkin. Thein response totally shocked me. It was between servicing, but it was no one's fault and they said "we're not happy if you're not happy." They sent a young woman named Amanda out who not only treated our kitchen and both bathrooms, but she educated us a little about the ways and lifestyle of roaches and Waterbury. This gal knows her stuff. Not only is ORKIN lucky to have her and Ben...you would be lucky to have folks like the ORKIN team on your side in a time like this. Thanksgiving is supposed to be at my house this year and I feel relatively safe the relatives will be the only guests there."
