      We purchased ***** **************** we had been serviced February 2024. They are to come out every 6 months. We called as they have not come out when they should have in July 2024. We paid them in full and since then they have said they would come out first week of October and we had been rescheduled by a text message. 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. We called the office to schedule, we had been told we have no one who comes out to ***********, however they have came out to spray our home, implant the termite devices, and came out for a bee issue so again a false claim. We have been told ****** and ***** was to come out at multiple schedule visits.Again Orkin is in breach of their contract in which we have paid in full. I want them to continue to contract as we have agreed upon.

      Last year I had a fly problem. I order extermination. I had service for approximately 4 months and then asked for them to cancel my service. They come again and I pay it. Telling them they need to cancel it again. They come a second time and I pay it again. Telling them for the second time that I do not want there services again. They then come a third time and I didn't make the payment until I got a collection call. Where I wanted an email saying they wouldnt come again. I then paid it for a third time. Tell them that I do not want to deal with this company again. Orkin then puts the same amount of money that I just paid into collections. Where there is collection companies calling me for the payment I already made.

      We apologize for the inconvenience in this matter.  The Region Service Manager tried contacting Mr. ******* with no return response. The manager emailed Mr. ******* the following information.

      Mr. *******, I am reaching out regarding your experience with my Mt. ******* branch here in *********  I was able to review your account regarding the service charges and cancellation concerns you have expressed.  As per the voicemail I left this morning, I would appreciate the opportunity to resolve your issues, please let me know which medium works best for you regarding communication going forward.

      After my initial review, it appears we may have had some internal communication issues that created this inconvenience for you back in April.  I have directed my location manager to recall the balance that was reported as delinquent and will follow up with you once that is completed so that you will have that for your records.

      I will be unavailable from approximately 945am until 1230pm today by phone, however, will have limited access later this morning to email.

      Thank you,

      Around Sept 2021, i received an inspection and based on that inspection i contracted to do the dry zone treatment at a cost of $8857.00. The service address was ***************************************. My father had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and i was handling his affairs. Included in the service was treatment of the problem areas, plastic encapsulation of the space, a humidifier and all necessary vent covers to complete the service.There were numerous problems with getting the work completed. when contacting Orkin i was always given assurances that someone would look into my concerns and get back to me. when i would call back, the lack of action on my job was attributed to a lack of communication, Covid related issues and people who no longer worked for the company. Their response was so poor that the first year the $200 dollars for the humidifier rental was due the company paid it as it still was not working, My father passed October 2021 after which i proceeded to ready the house for sale. During the renovation i installed a tankless water heater in March 2024 and my technician informed me that the humidifier or the installed outlet to power the unit was not working. A veteran contracted to buy the house and during the house inspection significant moisture damage was discovered. i approached Orkin with the issue to discover that they don't do wood replacement. i obtained a copy of the previous inspection that didn't list any issues. i only received my final vent cover the week of the closing. the company that preformed the work charged $7600 to replace the damaged wood. in talking with the management they indicated that my complaint would be elevated to the next level. i talked several times to get the status of my complaint only to be told that it was still under consideration. my last call i was told by staff that the manager wasn't available and that she would call me once she had an answer. i have never heard back.

      ************* inspector discussed a personalized list of agreements for a $2,500 package. Mesh roof system, sealing up ALL cracks on exterior of home including mortar work needed on brick to seal out mice/bugs/moisture, check interior basement for possible entry points, place steel wool around kitchen pipe through ceiling in basement. Accomplished tasks: mesh roof system, sealed up MOST main entry points on exterior in 3 spots. The rest of the list incomplete; several spaces not sealed with caulk or not properly sealed (a blob of caulk on top of a pipe that needed sealing all around), only spaces large enough for mice were addressed, NO mortar work on large cracks on wall, no basement inspection, no steel wool to sink pipe. The inspector also told me they could show me pictures of how the mesh system was attached to my roof on the day of service and the man that installed it told me to look from the ground. Do I need to be concerned about my roof leaking because I know he used a drill? I asked for the agreement to be sent 2 separate times prior to Nov. 19 when work was scheduled and only received a document when able to speak to the branch manager on Dec. 12. Document received states we signed on Nov. 5 when documents were actually signed on Nov. 11th. I remember because it was my sons birthday and the service inspector came to our house. When I called to complain the day of the service, the inspector said he would contact management about my concerns and get back to me, then never answered his phone again. ***** website states 30-day money back guarantee, the branch manager stated that offer was only for pests. Orkin Library of ***** states rodents are pests. It does NOT state that the offer only applies in specific situations. The branch manager keeps telling me that we have to allow them to come back and fix the situation or they cannot refund our money. I do not trust Orkin, their sloppy work, or anyone Ive spoken to and do not want them back to my house.

      Orkin Pest Control took $111.99 from my bank account WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE or PERMISSION as I discovered on November 12th of this year.  On November 11th, just the day before, the Orkin *** came out on his scheduled visit and I paid him  $56, just as I have every month since starting service in June of this year.

      Here is what is so terribly wrong about all this:

      1.  I was not on auto-pay.  I specifically asked and got permission to pay in cash every month starting in June.  I specifically mentioned to call center people that I was wary of anyone going into my account but me.

      2.  I'm paying in cash every month - why did Orkin decide to go into my account in November when I'm paying every month, as opposed to auto-pay which was every other month?

      3.  The biggest outrage - Why did they have 
      my bank accoubt number???  I first used Orkin in October of 2023.  I agreed to autopay, but felt uneasy. When the service was completed (maybe around 3 months later) why wasn't my bank account # deleted/ shredded/whatever one should do to get rid of sensitive info.  ORKIN DID NOT delete or shred my number.
      They still had my account #from 2023 (!) and were able to withdraw $111.99  without my knowledge or approval.

      I'm supposed to be getting a refund of only half of the $111.99!  Why?? Service with Orkin was officially cancelled 11/20.

      I am still waiting for my full refund.They really messed me up when they took that money. I would appreciate any help with this.  I just feel so angry and helpless.

      Orkin came to my home for an initial assignment and inspection on 12/3/2024. The company said they would send a report and seal entry points. Orkin stated that if I needed them sooner, I could call them. I never received the report from Mr. ******** ********** after three phone calls to him and two text messages. I also made three phone calls to the company phone, all on different days. I have received no response or follow-up except a statement saying it's weird that I hadn't received anything. I sent my email again even though I know it works because they emailed the contract for me to sign. I don't know what else to do to get this problem resolved. Everyone during my intake and visit was kind and professional. However, since the only visit to my home, no one has returned my calls.

      My father, 78 years old, who is a post stroke victim with some cognitive deficits called Orkin Pest Control to come out and address a "crazy ant" problem. The salesperson that went out presented him with multiple options above and beyond strictly addressing the "crazy ants'. He told me that he continually advised her no multiple times, and that he ONLY wanted them to take care of the crazy ants. She had him sign documents. A few weeks later, he received a statement in the mail that he owes $4,991.40 on the contract that he signed. He came to me worried and afraid and confuse and assured me that he never intended, and would have never, signed a pest control contract for any amount near that. Within the papers that he signed was also paperwork explaining how he could cancel the entire contract. On that paperwork was a place for him to sign that he had received that available instruction from the salesperson. He never signed that form.I believe that the practices of the salesperson were fraudulent and deceptive, and a specific intent to prey on the elderly after gaining their trust.

      I signed up for a contract with nearly $1000 startup fee. It was to run indefinitely and they charged me about 100 a month to service my property for pests. Two months ago they stopped showing up without any reason given. I called yesterday to try to figure out why the service stopped without any indication. I called the technician directly and was told by the sales team that the only one to talk to is someone from the service center who would get back to me. No one has returned my calls. It should not be my job to try to get them to perform a service they've abruptly stopped performing -- and why is it not a priority for them to get back to me. I would just cancel but that has to be done by the service department too. They have surely ripped me off for the $1000 startup fee, which I feel should be refunded.

      I am rejecting this response because: there have been further developments.  In November, I was put back on the schedule and charged three times the monthly amount ($297).  I tried for a week to get the local manager to give me a call back to discuss the charge and he never called back.  Then I tried the main number to cancel the service and no one called back.  Last month, the service was not provided at all.  I tried the number provided in the response from Critter Control just now and no one picked up.  I await a call back, but I highly doubt they will get in touch with me.  The only people I am able to get on the phone tell me I need to talk to another department or manager who never calls back.  I just want out of the service and hire someone else.
