Most Recent Reviews

  • "The workers at Orkin are very detailed and always on time. What I really like about them is that they will come back any time at no charge if I see something after they have completed the job. I remember one time I came home and there was a big ant problem. They came right back out and took care of it at no extra cost."

  • "I called to set up services and the woman I spoke with was really nice and got us scheduled right away. I didn’t catch her name unfortunately but she was awesome! They had appointments the next business day. The technician, Trevor, was also really nice and professional. He showed up on time and ready to work. Our dog even thought he was really nice. He respected our children’s play area. And he asked me what I would like which was awesome compared to other companies I have hired before. I saw he was very thorough outside, too. A couple of spots outside were no longer there and I didn’t have to show him where they were. Glad I called them! Edit: 2/22/25 still 5/5. We have had scheduled service with Haley as our tech for a while now and she is always kind to us and thorough. When we had wood ants show up, she was committed to ending them and has been diligent with following up and making sure they have stayed that way. She also is very kind and patient with our pets and kids when she is treating our home outside or when we had her come inside for the wood ants. Professional, always on time, and does a great job!"

  • "All went very well. They were a little later than the scheduled time but nothing to complain about. They worked quietly, quickly and efficiently. The estimated time was to take about 5 hours but they were done in just over 3 hours. We are very satisfied!"

Commonly Asked Questions about Orkin

What factors affect the cost of Orkin's pest control treatments?

The cost of Orkin's pest control treatments in Tacoma, Washington can be influenced by several factors. These factors include the type and severity of the pest infestation, the size of the property being treated, and the specific services required. Additionally, factors such as the location of the property and any unique challenges or circumstances may also impact the cost. It is best to contact us for a personalized assessment and quote for your specific pest control needs.

Are there any DIY methods I can try before calling Orkin for yellow jacket treatment?

Before calling Orkin for yellow jacket treatment in Tacoma, Washington, you can try some DIY methods. One option is to locate and remove the yellow jacket nest, if possible, using protective clothing and caution. Additionally, setting up traps with sweet baits can help control their population. However, it's important to remember that yellow jackets can be aggressive, so professional assistance may be necessary.

Are bugs resistant to the chemicals used by exterminators?

Yes, bugs can develop resistance to certain chemicals used by exterminators. This can happen over time as pests are exposed to the same chemicals repeatedly. However, there are various methods and strategies that pest control companies like us use to combat this resistance and effectively eliminate pests in Tacoma, Washington. We stay updated on the latest research and advancements in pest control to ensure we provide effective solutions for our customers.

Is it likely for there to be multiple mice if you see one?

Based on our experience in Tacoma, Washington, it is possible for there to be multiple mice if you spot one. Mice are social creatures that often live in groups, so it is not uncommon to have an infestation rather than just a single mouse. It is important to address the issue promptly to prevent further multiplication and potential damage.

Should I cover my couch with a sheet or plastic wrap after fumigation to protect it?

After fumigation, it is not necessary to cover your couch with a sheet or plastic wrap for protection. The fumigation process is designed to eliminate pests and their eggs, ensuring the area is safe. Simply follow the instructions provided by our professional technicians to achieve the best results.
