Started service with ***** on Dec 27 for rodent/critter activity in attic and bugs coming in from outside. When I signed up for services I remember being told that I could cancel at any time. It has been over 2 weeks and I still hear activity in attic and nothing was caught. Called ***** today to cancel services, was told that I can't for a year. I don't see why I would be paying for services if there is no results.Business Response

On 31 October 2024, Orkin performed a home exclusion job on my house. I had been quoted a price of $3600, and Orkin told me that the cost was this high because it would be an all-day job requiring at least two people. The emphasis was that the cost was due to the labor time needed to complete the job. I signed the contract with a 90 days same as cash agreement. On 31 October, two contractors arrived but only spent about two hours working in total. They informed me that the job was not that big and that more work was needed along the roofline that they couldn't complete and I would need to hire someone else to complete the work. I asked them to discuss this with Orkin so I could be given a more appropriate price for the work.I did not hear back from Orkin and so reached out in December to request a lower cost. Orkin told me that the contractors were incorrect and they could finish the roofline work, but after three phone calls over the past month, nothing has materialized and my bill is about to become due.I reached out to Orkin via email asking that they either provide a status update on completing the roofline work or provide an itemized invoice detailing the hourly cost of the contract work + materials so I can see how the cost was broken down.I would like to either have the needed exclusion work completed in full or receive a lower price that incorporates only the work that was done.Business Response

We apologize for the inconvenience in this matter. The local branch contacted you to discuss the exclusion service and to schedule the remaining work that needed to be completed. Per, Ms. ********** request the service is scheduled for Feb. 24th.

Complaint: 22791936
I am rejecting this response because: The appointment for 24 February was for routine pest management, not the exclusion service in question. No one has contacted me to schedule the remaining work to be completed. Orkin has also not provided the requested photographs the contractors took from October and has not provided a report of the work that was actually completed (with itemized invoice) in October. Orkin has a detailed description of the work to be done and I signed the contract based on an understanding that they would complete this work. They need to describe the work they actually completed and the cost of this completed work.
Sincerely,

Complaint: 22791936
I am rejecting this response because: I have not received recent communication from Orkin to resolve this dispute. The last email I received was from the branch manager on 27 January and he explained that Orkin could not complete the roofline work but did not offer any resolution/address my outstanding questions. I then followed up with Rollins who then reached out to the regional office, but this office has not contacted me.In response to the most recent communication to BBB, on 13 February I called the number provided and was connected to the Orkin branch receptionist who took a message for the branch manager, but I have not received further follow up.
If there are additional messages I haven't received, please forward them to me via email.
Orkin has still not provided the requested photographs the contractors took from October and has not provided a report of the work that was actually completed (with itemized invoice) in October.

Orkin is double billing me for pest control. On my online account I showed a ZERO balance and paid ***** per month for "mosquito/routine" services. They then double billed and stated I owed a 179$ balance for separate Pest control services on a paper bill with a different account number on it that I had NO online access to. They stated the the monthly bill did not cover my routine pest control services and that it was a separate program they started billing for based on a text message I was sent that I had to opt out of. I have knowledge of. I think it is classic "bait and switch" tactics to sign someone up for pest control services (billing them on paper and not having them see that bill show up on their online account). The online account shows paid up to date for "mosquito/routine" services.Business Response

This is an ongoing problem that started about a year ago (October, 2023). I noticed termites in some planters right outside of my house while tearing them out. I immediately called to have my house inspected, set up an appointment. The day of the appointment, no one showed up or reached out. Radio silence. Tried again a few times, never showed for any appointments. Until a week ago. Someone finally showed up. Said we had termites, talked about payment options (including payment plans). We never settled on a payment method, but the inspector said hed call later that day to set up a treatment date. He didnt give me a contract or anything, but he had me sign his iPad (bad idea on my part) to consent to treat. Never heard back. Next day, my credit report notified me that the parent company had run a hard check on my credit AND my husbands (who had not even been present and signed nothing). The inspector never once mentioned checking our credit. I called Orkin right away. They said a manager would get back to me. Its been a week and nothing. Im not holding my breath, and now I have to find someone else to treat our house (if we even HAVE termites; the guy only checked my bedroom and that took maybe twenty seconds, and his only evidence was some ripples in a wall above my bedroom doorway).Business Response

We contacted the company regarding an outdoor pest issue. There was an opossum that was coming up to us on the porch. They came out and sold us a service that didnt address the issue and never came back or followed up with us. I reached out to express my concern and asked to speak to a manager and the women who answered the phone told me he wasnt available and the service was already rendered so there is nothing they can do for me and hung up. Not only is it disgusting that we were swindled by the company but they didnt even come back for their equipment. The contract says regular monitoring of the problem and weve never heard from them again. This kind of behavior is not A+ rating material. But perhaps profits over people is everyones service motto.Business Response

We apologize for the delay and inconvenience in this matter. The Region Manager contacted the ****** to discuss their concerns about the exclusion and attic cap that was performed on Nov. 11h, 2024. Orkin had scheduled and performed follow up trap checks on November 13th and 15th. Originally, the ****** stated they had just seen the opossum outside however there were entry points, and we told them that there was evidence of trails in the attic and could have been from the past. We did confirm that the technician did remove the live trap the last time it was checked. The manager let the ****** know that they are a customer of Orkin, and we guarantee our work and if there is any issue at all we will come running to correct it.
If the ****** have any further concerns, we are happy to assist, and they may contact us at ************.

On 10/01/2024 I was charged $310.68 for pest control. I was initially told I would get a full inspection, a treatment plan and ongoing service. During the first appointment, the person that came out just sprayed the perimeter inside the house and he went outside and sprayed around the house. That was it, no inspection, no treatment plan. I tried calling the company but there was no answer. I left a low ****** review with my concern and the company responded and asked me to call them to discuss it. The first time I called there was no answer, again. The second time I called a lady answered and asked me to hold, but she hung up. At one point I locked the credit card they were charging. The card is now unlocked and they have charged another $103.92. They didn't provide the full service they said they would and they are still charging me and haven't been back out. $414.60 is a lot of money for only two treatments. They need to refund my money.Business Response

I contracted with ***** to provide advanced permanent pest control for squirrels that were accessing my attic space. They invoiced me on their invoice ********* on May 6, 2024 for $2,450.00. Their commitment was to seal off the locations that they determined the squirrel(s) was entering. Representatives came out two or three times, did some temporary pest control (steel wool, one way access door, etc) but never returned to do permanent closure. The problem returned this fall and even though they offer "a guarantee" they never returned my phone calls or emails. I ended up making permanent closure of three suspect locations myself.Business Response

I am disputing an invoice charge of $62 from Orkin for a pest control service that was not performed as claimed. The invoice states that the technician provided pest control services on November 21st 2024. Below is the technician's statement from their report:"Good morning Blessing, this is ***** with Orkin. Today, I came by to do your service for the month. Treated the exterior perimeter due to nobody answering the phone or door. Treated the exterior perimeter by placing granular bait throughout the front and back of the home, including the sides. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact *****. Have a great rest of your day. Thank you for your business."However, my home surveillance footage contradicts this claim. The footage shows the technician arriving at 8:16 a.m., briefly attempting to access the backyard, and leaving the premises at 8:20 a.m. WITHOUT performing any of the described treatment. There is NO evidence, visual or otherwise, of any granular bait being placed as stated.I have attempted to resolve this issue by contacting *****'s customer service and the pest ********************** officer (PCO) multiple times, but I have not received any response. I also have video evidence available to support my claim and request a resolution.Business Response

11/27/2024 I hired Orkin to remove wildlife from my property. Orkin came out and inspected the property and advised the charge would be $6286, but took $1K off and requested that I pay $2643.00 in advance, which I paid. They removed old insulation and put in their insulation, guaranteed to repel pests. After completion, they asked for the remainder of the bill. I advised that I would not pay the remainder until the pest was removed. Two days after, they returned and saw that the wildlife had crawled through the new insulation. Over the course of two weeks, I continued to hear the pest and continued to call Orkin. They came out and set up bait stations, which did not work. They said that they would put up trail cameras to ensure the wildlife they needed to bait, but never did. They said that they would set up outside traps, which they never did. I now have two large holes cut into my upstairs that I will have to pay someone to fix. I fired Orkin 12/19/24 and requested a full refund. I still have the wildlife in my residence and have had to contact a new specialist.Business Response
Date: 01/13/2025
We apologize for the experience Ms. **** has received, the manager contacted Ms. **** to discuss her concerns. He also met with her, to create a plan to continue to work on a solution to the wildlife activity. However, the manager was unable to follow up due to an emergency situation, Ms. **** concerns were escalated to the region, but understandably Ms. **** no longer desired to have Orkin try to solve the issue and was simply asking for a refund. The manager issued the refund on 1/6/24. Please allow two weeks for mail delivery. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience in this matter and if Ms. **** every has a need, we are hopeful you will give us another chance to prove our commitment in providing exceptional pest control service.

Then rescheduled to end of October and they no showed after we waited for the allotted time they specified. Rescheduled mid November and we waited the allotted time and they no showed. Rescheduled for early December with confirmation on line and I called and they stated they rescheduled for a Monday in which we did not reschedule. They no showed at that visit. Then we called spoke with some one and they said they would come on December 27, we have waited during the allotted time and again a no show. I reached out ***** *********** and I was told he was not the manager, on line it states he is the manager over ********. He stated I would receive a phone call to resolve the issue. We paid in full with a contract of them checking the the termite traps every 6 months, in which they are in breach of.
