      I hired Orkin for the sole purpose of addressing a rat issue. I requested nothing more, nor did I approved of any other type of service. I agreed to the inspection and initial treatment for a total of $1355. $1100 was put on my credit card the rest went on my debit card. I was not home when the service app't took place. Long story short, a *** later called me stating they were getting denied when they tried to charge my credit card. I called my bank to find out they did charge my card $1070 ($30 credit was given for overcharging my bank account causing an overdraft). My bank was the one who told me they were trying to charge another $1700. I contacted the ***** manager who sent me invoices of work they did. $1700 was on an invoice for "subterranean termites/odd jobs". I did not agree to termite treatment and was told "that's just how it is put in the system". I still never agreed to anything costing $1700. Nowhere on my contract or the inspection does it state anything about this charge. They have been calling me, sent me a bill and on 11/29/24 someone showed up at my door wanting to check my crawl space for the vapor barrier which was included in the $1100 charge and he told me the $1700 was for that barrier and he wanted payment. I told him I didn't agree to nor approved of a $1700 charge and told him to get off my property

      I am rejecting this response because: they have already tried telling me I owe for something I did not request nor authorize and can't seem to keep their story the same from one person to another from the manager on down the line. The manager told me he personally would come out to seal holes, but he couldn't be bothered. 

      Sending someone to my home was an attempt at intimidation.  I am not paying for something I did not authorize nor approve.  How am I supposed to trust a company like this?

      Orkin Plainfield ******** December of 2023 I had an influx of mice in my basement. I called the ******************* of Orkin & a sales person ******* **** came out & inspected my house. He suggested to me that I install Orkin Shield which are the strips for mouse exclusion. I was told after 6 months I would have zero mice. He said he would be available by ***************** totally no response on anything. After the initial installation was complete in December 2023, I called the ***************** to let them know that the strips were loose & mice could still enter. The technician that does my designated monthly inspections was made aware. All he did was stuff steel wool into loose ********** agreed it was a poor installation.During this year I have called the **************** twice for assistance. I was asked by ***** to remove boards on my trex deck at my expense & that would stop the mice, it did not, all they did was stuff more steel wool in that section versus putting on a strip. There was plenty of space for drill access with 3 rows of boards removed.I actually stopped the mice in one section of the basement by installing a metal lined vent guard on my fireplace vent & stuffing steel wool into the plate around my outside faucets. Now I have one section that I have repeatedly asked them to remove the foam, put steel ************* which I am sure would take care of the last mouse ************ wont do it. All the technician does is set mouse traps for my monthly fee which accomplishes nothing.I called in November for the annual inspection & the inspector didnt show up, so I called again and **** came out & inspected my home. He went outside with me to look at the strips & he called his bosses boss & told him the strips were loose and it was a bad ********** would replace ********* forward ***** who is the service manager comes out & installs the garage door strips and then tells me he is not replacing the strips and starts caulking sections.

      I have spoken with **** the regional manager several times. ***** has fixed a few issues but requests to wait until Spring to replace the Orkin Shield. They do not want to replace in the winter weather.

      They are aware that I personally have done a lot of work to stop the mice and the technician has done nothing to resolve issues, just set mouse traps. I am not extending my contract with them for 2025.

      This matter is not closed until the work is completed in its entirety. So far only the Dining Area strips have been replaced.

      Date: 01/31/2025

The Region Manager has discussed the matter with Ms. ***** and there is a mutual agreement to complete the work in the spring. The manager will continue to reach out to Ms. ***** to ensure her satisfaction when the work has been completed. In the meantime, she may contact us at ************.

      Entered into an agreement with Orkin Pest Control for termite and pest control. The first check we gave them was dated 7/26/24 for ********, second check was dated 8/23/23 for ******** also. The work was done between those 2 dates. The work that should have been preformed was removing the old insulation from the attic and walls. Installing new insulation, spraying, installing traps. The new blown in insulation in the attic is ok. No insulation was put back into the walls, sheets of "reflex" was put on the walls, this is nothing more than thick aluminum foil in my opinion. Checking ******, it is ok in warmer weather but, "should be combined with other insulation in colder climates". It gets cold in **. The sheets of reflex have gaps, when I pointed this out to *****, ****** with Orkin, said they would come back and tape the sheets together, they haven't. I ask ****** to give me a price for installing wall insulation, they sent a price of an additional ******** plus, I can't find the correspondence. I went to ****** and paid ****** for insulation and installed it myself. They sprayed liquid in the lower area of the house that was running down the walls, we asked that be cleaned up. One worker tried but didn't do a very good job. We asked what was in the spray because of our indoor animals, never got a ******** a minim, I'm asking Orkin to give us the information on the spray (what's in it) come back and properly clean the downstairs, tape the reflex like they said the would do, and a refund of ****** for the insulation I paid for at Lowes.

I called Orkin and was told they would be at my house in the *** A person did show up and tape the seams. My wife had cleaned the down stairs, so they didn't have to do that. I'm not happy with Orkin, but I guess this is all that can be done.

      I bought a home in May of 2024, we had ********* ants, stink bugs, fly's, rodents and bats. They charged an upfront cost of $430.65 to start up the services, on top of a monthly fee of $59.81. They also finances me a total of $3000 for bat removal services provided by their company (financing is through Rollins Acceptance Policy). The first visit I was told our two cats had to be put up for the initial spray as it was TOXIC to animals. We did exactly as they asked. He explained it was only for the first visit. Great. Fast forward to November (6 months of service), our cat starts having random seizures. We had to bring her to the emergency vet and spent upwards of $1000 in bills to find out the cause of these seizures. It was determined that she had ingested a bug that touched the area the Orkin tech sprayed on 10/31. It was never told to us that we had to put our cats up at each visit, causing this horrendous medical emergency. The bat service was a complete rip off and I believe I was charged a higher price than most, the tech only spent 1 hour on our property and used spray foam. They didn't clean the bat p*** like they said they would, they also didn't come back to reseal the opening they stated they left so bats could escape. When I signed up for the financing option, I had no idea what I was signing. The *** didn't even inform me he would be pulling my credit ***ort. I was not aware of this and its highly concerning. I spent over a month waiting on a manager to call me back from the ************ to resolve the rodents in our garage. This is not something a new client should have to go through, especially being with them for such a short period of time. They have caused me financial hardships and anxiety due to their careless protocols and uneducated staff. Now I am left with a sick cat due to their negligence.

      Dear Better Business Bureau,I am filing this complaint regarding HomeTeam Pest Defensr, located at ****************************************, due to their refusal to honor a discount they initially offered to me and the subsequent unprofessional behavior of their representative.Summary of the Issue At the beginning of this year, January 5th, 2024 , through my phone call with one of their staff, they offered me a discount as part of a promotional agreement for annual payment as a 12 year royal customer. I paid the invoice with the guidance of the staff. This discount was a significant factor in my decision to proceed with their services/products. However, at the end of this year, 11/12/2024, the company has denied honoring this discount, stating that the employee who extended the offer is no longer with the company and asked me to pay extra amount to meet their initial nvoice amount.When I attempted to address the matter, I contacted the business on 11/21/2024. The representative I spoke with,*** ****** at ****** office, was dismissive, rude, and claimed there was no further recourse and he is the end of the line to discuss about this issue. They also threatened to send the balance, which I dispute, to a collections agency.Desired Outcome I am seeking the following resolution:For HomeTeam Pest Defenser to honor the original discount offered to me, as it was a legitimate agreement at the time.A formal apology for the unprofessional behavior and threatening tone used by their representative.Confirmation that the disputed balance will not be sent to collections and that my account will be adjusted accordingly.Supporting Details I am happy to provide further details or evidence to support my case, including dates and communications.I hope that HomeTeam Pest Defense will work with me and the BBB to resolve this issue amicably. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

      Contract services expired in May 2024. They continued to service without notice on a monthly basis. My original form of payment (cc) they had on file expired and they continued to provide services without again notifying us. They then followed up with a bill for $170.00 for 2 months services due to card expiring. My original agreement was for the period of 1 year at the cost of $184.00 for a year service. When I contacted them they will not call me back. Still waiting on a call from ***** *******. In the meantime they have sent me to collections who have called daily and emailed.

      I had a one-time service from ***** and they continue to charge my credit card monthly despite the fact that it was a one-time service, I did not sign a contract, and we have not received any services in the past three months. I reached out to them and left several messages and have disputed the recurring charges on my credit card and yet I have not heard back from them and they continue to charge my credit card.

      I tried to cancel my service with Orkin (pest control) months ago. They kept ignoring my wishes to cancel my service and kept billing me. I made my last payment on August 10, 2024, for $177.05 per my check# ***. I wrote on the statement that I was canceling my service and have spoken multiple times on the phone with their customer service people telling them I was canceling my service. They have continued to harass me with new statements and refuse to cancel my service. I have repeatedly asked them who I need to speak to in order to cancel my service but I am just told that someone would get back to me, blah, blah, blah. No one ever gets back to me.
