THESE folks!! Wow, great service and responsive. I had some wasps making it personal (it seemed) and another service that rhymes with Flerminex did not come through after a consult. Orkin did not back down to the pests. I find their services priced reasonably and worth the money. Id recommend them to anyone.

Alli has been doing great job every time. With her carefully set traps, we have caught 3 mice. She is accurate in prediction and strategy. She also clean out spider web out side the house. I’m glad we are in good hands. Thank you, Alli!

Joe was great, he went above and beyond to make sure our problems were all attended to. Orkin was also able to get someone out here in 24 hours which was much faster than what other companies could offer. I’m very happy with the service.

Orkin hires qualified employees. I have experienced absolute professionalism. Choose Orkin if you want your concerns to be dealt with directly. Sign up for their monthly plan and put your worries on a shelf. Rodents are a disgusting problem in the Bay Area. My Technician Alejandra Magana is a shining star standing in a room filled with Technician Wizards. She is methodical as she attacks each task. She explains her actions and understands the psychology of rodent behavior. Thank you for helping to rid my valuable property of this destructive pest!!

This morning I called to have a dead rat removed from our yard.Allie came this afternoon and removed it.She was knowledgeable, efficient and very pleasant to speak with.As we went over history of service since October, she reminded me how important it was to remove ,current insulation, sanitize and repair damage to attic boards and install new rodent proof insulation.Customer service professionals are always pleasant and prompt to convey my request.I love how I am kept aware via text of service pending, technician is on the way and s/he has arrived!After Allie left I called her boss, Jesse, to tell him how happy I was with Allie and her service!

I want to thank wonderful work by Orkin.The service technician arrive on time. He payed attention to listened to me. He thoroughly assessed the issue made diagnosis of rodent issue underneath the house. He crawled space underneath house for lengthy time. He placed trappings and glues traps. As important, he found all the rodents entry openings and securely place blockade wire screens. I appreciated the service technician taking time to explain and educate me the proper locations and trap placements and importance of preventive blockade.The technician will be back to check the status of traps and rodent activities in 4 days. He gave me the phone number to contact him if any problems arise.In addition I feel assured the rodent issue will be resolved with guaranteed work.Thank you!

Alli came out and right away recognized where our rodent issues were coming in from. She baited the areas, put triple steel wool in the entry points and sprayed for spiders among other things. She was very through, knowledgeable and helpful, as well as super friendly. We appreciate her help in resolving the rodent issues on our property. Thx Alli!!

Orkin was so prompt. I had called another company on November 2 and they said they couldn’t come till December 3. I told them that was ridiculous so I called Orkin and they came next day. They did a thorough inspection and will have several follow ups and are very well priced. So grateful to them for promptness and service.

I called different pest control companies and Orkin was by far the most reasonably priced and accommodating to my specific needs. Their representative Donovan, was professional, punctual and friendly. He provided lots of informative and educational material prior to starting the fumigation. He completed a thorough job And made sure all my questions were answered. I can tell he’s knowledgeable In pest control (as well as which plants/flowers can be fumigated). He was overall super nice and professional. I would highly recommend their service to others.

Orkin Burlingame branch that covers San Francisco has a very mixed team. My experience with Joe Woods has been the best. He phoned me the evening before for an appt reminder. And messaged me 15 mins away on the day of the appt. He was very friendly, respectful, and meticulous on his quality of efficiency and thoroughness. After the appt, he promptly setup the follow up appt for next week. Service by Joe is superb, and a model poster child of how to be a rockstar. Impressed. Will request his support for future appts and new property locations.

David is awesome. He ALWAYS calls ahead of arrival to let me know his ETA. He always wears shoe covers (now PPE) without having to ask. Very courteous and asks if there are particular places for concentration. He even asks how we are doing and doesn’t miss a beat with his work. The treatment is working as I don’t have to call in between anymore. I’m very pleased with the overall service. Thank you David and Orkin!! Well done!

Your pest Control employee, Avery was great and provided exceptional service. He accommodated our needs and jumped into quick action and began addressing our pest concerns. Furthermore, he was patient and took his time to ensure he had covered the necessary areas of potential issues. Lastly, he checked with me again prior to leaving If we needed additional assistance which expressed to me that he takes pride in his work and is willing to go above and beyond to provide great service to represent himself and his Orkin as a positive company that does takes their business service seriously and takes pride in doing the work appropriately to address customers concerns and needs. I hope you can pass on our sincere THANKS and appreciation to Avery.

I called Orkin late Sunday and I got a call back right away from them. The representative was very nice and professional. She scheduled an apt for the following day. My rep showed up next day right on time. He was prepared and also kept Covid protocol. He explained to me in details of the contract and allowed to ask as many questions as possible. Needless to say I signed up with them and great news is that I can cancel at anytime. Not stuck with a year contract.Rep showed up 4 days later to check the traps and clean /spray the barrier of my house. Again on time and ready to go.So far very happy with the sevice

Review №42

They come unannounced! I always ask for a heads up so I can tell them problem areas and they never listen. It is painful dealing with them and getting them to come back and spray the correct areas. Once I have them spray the correct areas, the product works. But for what they are charging, I should not have to go through this headache.

Review №47

Honestly the main office can use some work. They were supposed to call 1-2 days prior to service and they did not. I called in the morning on the day of service and I asked an approx time they were supposed to be coming . I explained that we have a puppy and needed to make sure she went out Before hand because she wouldn’t be allowed for 1-2 hours after service. The lady rudely told me around 2-4pm and I asked if possibly they can ask for a 20-30 minutes heads up and she said again rudely they probably would ... now moving on Mike the guy that performed the services Was 2 hours early . Irritated I kind of ranted . He was extremely apologetic and accommodating. He was super polite and made sure he got every Problem area that I made sure to point out. Highley recommended just based on Mikes attitude.

Review №61

From day my experience was not professional. Poor customer service. Did not value customers time. First day appointment was between 12-2pm. Technician was late arrived approximately 30-40 mins late. Second appointment scheduled 12-2pm. I phoned office and they said I had no appointment for that day, I informed them that I did. They had technician call me and he said he could not make that appointment and wanted to give me other dates that did not work for me. I informed office that a supervisor needed to call me and he did . He also came out that day and I felt confident again. He scheduled a third appointment. On this day my appointment was 12-2 again. At 2:20 no one had come out. I called and asked why I had not even received a Courtesy call that they would be late again. They said some one could come between 3-5.The entire interactions with Orkin was frustrating an truly unprofessional. A company that has no consideration for the customers time and their problems it’s not the type of company that I want to be associated with. On each of these occasions a simple phone call would have made me feel much more appreciated. I understand that people run late and it’s no problem but you have to have consideration of that individuals time and at least give them a phone call and and assure them that you’re on your way. The technician were all very kind individuals but I was also looking to get a problem professionally solved and it was not.

Review №66

We hired Orkin over two year ago to help with moles in the backyard. We had a big problem and they told us they know how to fix. We are very disappointed. First - the mole problem has not been resolved and it has been two years. In many respects it may even be worse than when we started. We have even sent the manager pictures now and then so the office knows the problem and they can be sending the right technician. No luck. But secondly, probably bigger issue for us, is they don’t communicate. They promise that after the tech has been to the house to do his/her work, they would prepare a brief report and email us a copy. This would allow us to know they’ve been there — and maybe a couple sentences about what they found, what they did, etc. Despite their promises to keep us appraised with this report, we never get it. We call the office and they say we “should” be getting the report, but it never happens. The only thing we get is our credit card automatically charged. Somehow they never miss that. If not for that, and given the moles still loving to dig up our back yard, we wouldn’t even know that we have a contract with Orkin to address this.

I had awful bites and suspected bed bugs -- the Orkin technician came to my home, inspected for bed bugs, allegedly found bed bugs, and then quoted me about $4,000 for heat treatment to eradicate the bed bugs. I was skeptical. I then hired Scent Tek (which uses trained dogs) and Scent Tek found ZERO bed bugs. Trained sniffer dogs are the gold standard for bed bug detection - even the Orkin guy was raving about them - because Orkin said that after I paid the $4K, Orkin would use their trained dogs to ensure that no bed bugs remained. If you are worried that you have bed bugs, please use Scent Tek. They only do inspections (no services), so they have no incentive to find a problem that doesnt exist.
