Orkin came out to our house Thursday 3/16/to spray for pests and insects, the guy that came had ran out of spray and did not have enough to finish the job but asked if he could use our water, he filled up his sprayer bottle with plain water and did not fill it up with anymore chemicals and continued to spray the houseI have called Orkin and said that we wanted a refund because we are still within our days and I can't trust if they are using chemicals and they said they couldn't do that

I recently used orkin for a pest problemWhen my fiancé called she was told the services would include a Thorough Examination of both up and down stairs including basement( she was given a quote that for the service she spoke of And our home inside and out would be sprayed with a chemical that would be sprayed in and outside The Exterminator didn't do that all that was done were several paper traps in rooms and basement When asked about spray he didn't feel the need for that seeing how it wasn't enough of a infestationWe were still charged the same price that was told on phone for services that weren't doneThree days later before the cancellation grace period I had called to cancel I wasn't happy with the exterminators Knowledge of the pest problem we were having ( when asked questions he was unable to answer) and when asked why I was charged the same price the details the Exterminator had given orkin a work order things included services not done example( spraying of

During the annual inspection not all of our bait stations were inspected We have tried for weeks to get the inspection re-done to no avail
I am filing a complaint against the Midland/Odessa, TX branch of Orkin We have been an Orkin customer for several years utilizing the Sentry Continuous Protection Baiting Plan Until this year, we have been happy with the service provided, however this year has been a complete failure and Orkin has made no attempt to correct the breach of contract
On March 7, 2017, *** *** from the Odessa office was at our home for the annual service inspection The inspection report shows that he arrived at 10:and departed at 10:35, a lapse of minutes, but at least minutes of that time, possibly more, was spent visiting with my wife about the inspection, leaving only minutes or less to do the inspection Compared to the amount of time spent in previous years, minutes was suspiciously short as previous inspections had been more

Dear Sir/Madam
I am writing this email in reference to the termite contract from Orkin for the location of *** Dba *** CMC has a termite contract with Orkin for the last several years
Recently, I contacted Orkin to treat an area which is under renovation at the same location and Orkin agreed to treat the renovation area for a cost of $in two payments However, a Orkin tech has not treated the dig out areas correctly and with repeated requests from general contractor and myself Orkin technicians just verbally satisfy and did not come back to treat the areas I have requested tech (Mr*** ***) to give me in writing that treatment is sufficient to protect the subject property for termite damage, and he has failed to do so
On the other end, there is an existing area of the property which has a clear termite damage I repeatedly requested Mr*** to come and visit the damage area and finally he c

since October Orkin has tried to collect money from me for a service that was not provided, they claim on 09/20/a technician came out to my property and performed services which included power washing my foundation and doing preventative maintenance in regards to antshowever they had called me several times prior to the date in question to schedule service for my address, I called them to cancel contract and told them not to schedule any services, in regards to the service I have two largw dogs which I would have to be present to contain and I was not home on 9/20/and my daughter who was home all day on 9/20/never saw a technician working around the house, also if the foundation was power washed and treated my mulch would have been disturbed and the concrete would be wet, I know this from previous power washings, I will conclude I do not wish to pay for a service which I did not authorize or receiveplease help

To the President of Orkin, August 27,
When my tenant vacated the apartment on July 20, 2018, I discovered there was an infestation of german roaches I called Orkin and your company came to fight the problem on July Your technician,***, told me he would spray and put some boxes and paste around, come back in a week to repeat and that the roaches would lessen in numbers in a week or two I called someone back on a week and again a few days laterThere was only a slight diminishment of the live insects So I called another Pest Control Company Aughe used the substance 'Phantom? There was a noticeable difference in fewer live bugs after days He came back the following week and resprayed The situation is now under control, finally I will use him for my bimonthly pest control
I want to let you know our company uses inferior substances to tackle german insects
I would like a refund of your initial services since they did not work
Please re

My complaint is fold Th first person who came was goodafter my encounter with him I entered a contract thinking I would have the same superior serviceI was wrong The technician assigned to me was inept and as not at all thorough He did not adequately handle our problem Even after calling back I continued to see problems The advertising claims were he admitted it I was extremely disappointed I feel like I have been ripped off

I recently discovered that orkin has again billed me for services not renderedThis happened before years ago when the Tech who serviced me was promoted and a new tech was not appointed to my account I was billed even though she did not show or call they said she just sprayed outside and the date that they said occurred I was homewhen confronted they corrected it but I removed auto pay from my account for that reasonOn June 27th or 28th the Tech called me and we scheduled an appointment for Friday July 1st at 4:It down poured all day that day and he did not call or show upand I was home at 4:waiting on himI called them when I found out that they had already billed me for the service on the 30th that he sprayed outside onlyproblem is I was home all day on the 30th and if I was not my dogs were out side in the back yard and would have escaped had he opened the gateAt first when I told her he did not show she said he left the ticket on the door then when I said I was

I ordered Orkin service on May They came out to deal with a bee problemPart of the $cost was that they came out once and then again in 7-days They never came or calledI called 2-times with no success so I cancelled the service in June THey said they would cancel and refund In July I called again because they still hadn't refunded and then finally on 7/7/the refunded
The issue is on 7/11/they charged me again! They haven't been to my house AND I cancelled the service so being charged makes no sense I have called times and each time they say they will call me back, they haven't I can't get a hold of anyone to refund and at this point I'm furious at their lack of professionalism and honesty in returning my calls They have taken my money without our permission (which should be illegal!) and won't return my call to refund

This past November I signed an agreement with Orkin to encapsulate and seal any openings coming into my home after I came home from vacation to a rat problem (Wasn't happy with a bit of what I was told by the salesman but that is not my complaint)
While performing that work those techs broke my main water line coming into my home and pretty much flooded my crawlspace
They said if we called a plumber to fix it we would be reimbursed
It is now over months later and still nothingI called their office at the branch phone number on my bill and spoke to a rather unpleasant receptionist (I'm guessing) that said they know about that and hung up on me
That is where my genuine disgust for Orkin startedI've asked my tech about it (***, he is their only redeeming quality in my opinion) and he has said he would pass that on also
Regardless of any resolution at this point I am now done doing business with this company and would encourage others to find perhaps a local vendor who app

I have paid $all together so far for service and they still have not fixed the pest problem I have call four times for them to come back out
I started services with Orkin in April of 2018, I switched from terminex, since than I have had to call them back four times, I still have spider and roach issues, just this morning I was bit by a spider On my first bi monthly visit the tech only sprayed the kitchen, I had to call back so they can spay the actual house because I'm not paying dollars so he can just spray the kitchen After they came back and sprayed I had to call back again because I still have the same issue So as of today there has been no progress in my pest problem

On November 29, Orkin visited our apartment and sprayed hazardous pesticide chemicals on our security camera and shoesAll of this was captured on my security cameraI called the 1-number for Orkin and the first individual I spoke to said she could understand that this was a problem and why I was concernedShe transferred me to her managerHer manager asked what the issue was, and so I explained what had happenedShe said that it was my landlord's problem for not notifying me that they would be spraying I also tried to ask for the MSDS sheet of the chemicals they had sprayed on my shoes but the Orkin customer service manager hung up on meThis is extremely unprofessional treatment for a problem that Orkin had caused by recklessly and deliberately damaging my personal property

The local version of this company is the worst I have ever done business with After the botched my initial work (termite, new vents, moisture barrier, etc), they said they would offer me compensation for their mistakes I waited, and waited, and then got a bill that they said they were going to take care of Apparently they did not, and now are telling me that because of their continued mistakes, I know have to pay another dollars for termite service, because they will not honor their original work from less than years ago
I will be cancelling all of my services with them, and going to another agency, as they have continued to do me wrong, and do not care about their integrity, only bleeding me dry of money
