My account at ********************, ********** and my father's account at ************************* was transferred from **** to ********* this past summer. To date, Orkin has failed to show at 2-3 appointments. I spoke to the branch manager the end of Sept/beginning of Oct and he assured me greater care would be taken. I renewed my termite plan with them on Oct. 10th for $313.95. I was scheduled for the inspection Nov. 1st. Orkin failed to show for that appointment. I contacted them same day and requested to cancel both accounts and requested a full refund of $313.95. As of Nov. 7th, I had recv'd no response. I contacted the toll free customer service number, requested to cancel both accounts, a full refund and that my complaint be escalated to regional, as well as a return call. No response. Today I contacted them a 3rd time requesting to cancel both accounts & a full refund. I have dates and times recorded, as well as who I have spoken to with Orkin. Also, my online Orkin account reflects that the termite inspection for my renewal was completed 9/28, which is not true as my renewal was not due until the second week of Oct. It has been 45 days since I paid the $313.95, and no service of any kind has taken place at my home since then. When I was receiving service from the ***********, it was excellent. The **************** customer care is absolutely terrible. Lastly, my father pre-paid for a 1-year service. I believe he is due a refund of one service fee that would've taken place this winter. He is elderly, and I handle his business affairs for him. My phone number is on his account. He would like a refund for the last service fee that has been paid for but has not taken place yet.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: I have NOT received my refund. I have been asking for this refund of $313.95, as well as my Dad's refund of $81.60, since Oct. 7, 2024. I have been told twice that it will be refunded, but I do not have the refund. On Dec. 2, 2024 I spoke with Mr. ***** (regional manager) and he stated I should receive my refund in 1 - 2 weeks. It has been well past that. Orkin has stated twice to the BBB that my refund will be issued, but it has not been received. No proof has been provided that it has been issued.

I am rejecting this response because: a termite inspection was NOT rendered on 12/27. My crawl space is accessed from inside my garage. I also have security cameras outside my home. I am alerted when someone is on my property. Orkin has not been on my property at all for several months - well before I requested to cancel my accounts the first week of Oct due to poor customer service.

Back in August on the 24th, Orkin completed a job for a plastic and moisture barrier in my crawl space that was not only not fully completed but actually not needed, from the start I was lied to. ***** had initially sent out an employee for a crawl space inspection, only for this individual to tell me that I had mice remnants and that my plastic barrier needed to be replaced. I agreed to this service only because I believed this was the case. I found out later on after having another friend of mine come out to check the crawl space that was not the case at all and there was no mice nor did the plastic or moisture barrier need to be replaced. The job was supposedly started on the 24th but all I received was a text message to say a crew was available that day to start the job. I never received any sort of texts or pictures not even a call the job was done. This is where things got worse. Since the job was started while I away in ******, it was not until I got back that I noticed nothing was done to the full 4800 dollars this company charged me. I had a friend come out to find that there were multiple piles of debris throughout the crawlspace and pieces of insulation still on the floor joists. The debris was supposed to be cleaned out and it was just covered with new plastic and not actually taken out. Secondly, trash was left outside for over a month and when I contacted the regional manager about this, he indicated I should have been the one to contact Orkin to take care of the problem and I didn't give Orkin a chance. Leaving that trash with insulation out when I have two dogs could have proven serious issues for them. The condensation pump and dehumidifier were also messed up. The condensation pump was flipped over with water spilled on top of the new plastic and the hose was ripped that allowed water to be pumped out of the crawlspace. The dehumidifier was hit causing improper flow of water. I'm just upset with how this whole thing was handled.Business Response

He offered Ms. ****** $1,000 off her financed amount due to our oversight during the service.

On 10/27/24 i reached out to Critter control because i heard sounds in my attic.They came out Monday 10/28/24 to address my problem. They went over the contract based on what they felt i needed to correct my Critter issue. My contract covered them setting traps, remove critter then seal up the roof to avoid anymore issues that was supposed to last 4 or 5 months.They charged me $1863 The contract had them coming out several times to check the traps and remove any critters.They would set appointments to come out saying they did not need anyone to be there., They would arrive at an unscheduled time then call saying i needed to be there. They would also set appointments and not show up. I lost several work hour's and Money waiting for them to arrive. When they caught the critter they put tape to cover the hole.The sales *** that sold me the contract said the hole would be patched up with metal tar and shingles. When they caught the critter they patched it with tape instead. i was told that i was given incorrect info and needed to call a roofer to close the hole right away. I shared that no one told me when i signed the $1863 contract. As a result a critter got back in and we had to start the entire procedure again. I then receive a bill for $869. I had to call to let them know it was there fault the Critter got back in and that i should not have to pay anymore then what the contract said. This time they continued to miss appointments and would come at the wrong time. After i complained over and over they finally patched my hole with the correct materials. The job is subpar. I feel that i did not get what i paid for and was given the wrong information because they wanted my money.I am asking for a partial refund of $800 to hire another company to correct my issue.Business Response

On Jul 03, a Warranty Consultant came to my home and sold me the Taexx Pest Control Service, with a promotion that $100 for the first quarter and free for the second quarter, then $129 for the following quarters, no contact. On Oct 23, I got my second quater treatment. After the treatment, I was charged $129+Tax for the treatment, which should be free according to what the consultant said. I called the customer service on Oct 30 for help, they told me some one will call me back to solve it, but I never received a call. I messaged to the warranty consultant on Oct 31 and Nov 6, he confirmed the second quarter should be free and will refund. But I haven't receive refund and no more feedback until now. By the way, I refered one of my neighbors to him which should give me another free quarter but I don't really expect it now. I am asking a refund of the second quarter and no future service please.Business Response

On Oct 21, 2024 I had an exterminator come and spray only the hornets in a corner of the room. I had sprayed in the ceiling tiles the days before because there were so many. I assumed the exterminator would locate and remove the nest he responded they don't look for nest they speay where they see activity. And that the spray would kill them for up to 6 weeks. Now there are random ones that have been found in the kitchen and living room and on occasion there are some still in that main bedroom downstairs. Very much alive.Sprayed the wasp nest on the porch. Most died but there is still activity. I was told there was a 30 day window where if needed they would send someone out to redo it if needed. Oct 22, 24 I called back and said there was still activity the representative said someone will return my phone call to see if he could come out the same day.Oct 29, 24 I called back seeing as how there was 2 hornets one in the bed and another on the window. Now that representative asked me to hold while they get someone to come out after waiting 10 minutes I had to enter a meeting and had no choice to hang up. However I thought I would still receive a call back because it was documented for the 2nd time that I still had hornets in the bedroom. Nov.7 2024 after spraying myself and decideing to start looking around for someone to come find the nest I called and asked for a refund was told a "********" I believe that is what the name sounded like would give me a call back.Nov 9 called again about refund was told branch manager would call me back.Nov 12 called again left a vm saying I would like a refund due to the service not being complete got a return call and once again am told the manager will give me a call.Sent an email to the branch on Oct 31, 2024 asking for a refund due to the hornets.Last week an inspector saw wasp activity on the porch and how the ceiling couldn't be repaired because of the hornets.Business Response

I got this service for my Dad that lives at *********************************************************************** *********** was a little under $600 dollars. I paid for in full for one year. I actually had to drive to ********** to pay for it. I told the lady there that I wanted to pay it in full because I didnt want it to keep charging my credit card and she said that was fine. My Dad has not had service since July. No had not spoke with him since July. They called him in October with not even speaking with him. I called ******** *******. Asked her for the corporate number because this doesnt seem right. She said oh no this is a franchise theres no head person. So even if youre not getting serviced by them youre still going to be billed. That lady at that office know I came there to purchase one year of service. I know I may not get my money back but you would be a fool to deal with them, knowing that after your year is done they will bill you 5 months later even if they had not spoke with you or coming out to your house period. So if i had paid in cash then what. This seems wrong to me. Ive had pest control before and Ive never heard of them billing you 5 months after your contract that was paid in full Nov 11 I was billed $83.44 a year ago I paid $550 for a year of serviceBusiness Response

I am filing a formal complaint regarding the unsatisfactory service, poor communication, and harassment Ive experienced with ****** ****** location at ************************************************************************************After contacting Orkin for pest control due to cockroaches in my kitchen, I was assured that early intervention would prevent an infestation. However, on the first visit, the technician only applied a minimal spray along the house perimeter and didnt perform a full treatment or explain necessary steps. Despite being charged monthly, the ***** issue worsened, and larger roaches began appearing. When I reported this, a second visit was scheduled, but the technician arrived unprepared, without traps, and didnt return promptly to complete the job.After filing another complaint, I decided to cancel due to the ineffective service. However, I continued being charged. Then, I began receiving harassing calls from a collection agency (Rollins *************** demanding payment without clear explanation, despite the unresolved service issues. This raises serious privacy concerns, as my information was shared with a third party without my ********** summary, my concerns are:Inadequate Service: Despite monthly charges, the pest issue remains unresolved.Poor Communication: Orkins technician was unprepared, and follow-up was lacking.Privacy Breach: My information was shared with a collection agency without authorization.This experience has been distressing and unprofessional.
