This company continues to send unscheduled pest control people to my home when no one is there allowing them in to perform service and still charge me. Ive asked them to not come to my home unless I confirm. This way they're allowed in to perform services. I need the past due bill charges removed.Business Response

I hired orkin to get rid of bees and the nest. They came out and sprayed alot of bees died however they were unable to locate and destroy or remove the nest. The bees are not active now because of colder weather with the nest still there I'm afraid I will have the same problem in the spring when they become active again. I paid over $400 to have professionals take care of this and they didn't find and destroy or remove nest. I am therefore requesting a refund as I still have the nest. I have contacted my local orkin office and corporate at least 8 to 10 times. I keep being put off by them telling me they have to escalate my call and someone from management and or the regional office in 24 to 48 hours. I have wai48 hours 2 or 3 times and no one ever called me from management or regional office . I am very dissatisfied and disappointed with this companies customer service as well as the service I received.Business Response

We paid a significant amount to exterminate bed bugs in our home. While I was initially okay with their efforts to remove the bed bugs, several months later, we still find them every other week.We were informed that a refund was possible, but the company wanted to attempt additional treatments before we requested one. Now that I am asking for a refund, they are challenging me and misrepresenting my wifes statements to avoid issuing a fair refund. After we requested that ****** ******** not put words in my wifes mouth, he offered us an inadequate additional refund.I do not appreciate being misled and then faced with negotiations. I no longer feel comfortable having this company with my wife and children in my home. If a team member is willing to lie in this situation, I do not want them around my family.Business Response

Contracted with Critter Control (Rollins, Inc.) on 10/23 after a free 1 hr inspection. Inspector noted our pest issues and presented a plan of traps throughout the house in hot spots and bait stations outside. He assured us that they evaluate the bait they use and will make changes as necessary. Before he left, he said he had one exterior bait station on him and would put it out however he failed to do that. The technician came next day. I was informed upon arrival that they would not be putting anything outside and would return in 5 days to do this. They proceeded to put down the exact same traps in the exact same places that we already had done ourselves and used the same exact bait we were using (peanut butter). I called ***** immediately and expressed concern over this plan and did not see how this would resolve our issue as it was exactly what we were doing. He told me to trust him, so I mistakenly did. Fast forward 5 days later, and seeing mice a few times within my home and finding mouse droppings throughout, the company caught 0 mice. The tech came to check the traps and even said he was surprised they did not catch anything. They did not change any bait or freshen anything up - just left everything as is. They did catch 3 mice in an outdoor crawl space which I am aware of but the issue we are focused on is the interior of the home, I am not surprised that mice were caught outside where they obviously live.We called the company requesting a partial refund. We paid $630 for the set-up service. We're willing to pay $150 to cover the labor and traps so far, requesting a refund of $480 which we feel is fair. We were denied this and said there is nothing they can do to issue a refund, despite the full scope of the service not being preformed, performance being inadequate and not what was promised during the sale process, and being made aware that I was already not happy on the first day of service and considered cancelling my service then while on the phone.Business Response

We would appreciate your help in getting ***** to complete a project that was agreed to on April 15, 2024. Although it was originally estimated that the project would take less than a week, it is now entering its seventh month. The project consisted of three parts: mouse abatement, the installation of solar snaps, and the installation of leaf stoppers (i.e., gutter guards). The first two parts were completed (more or less) in May. Installation of the leaf stoppers was delayed until the required materials were received. Although this occurred in late May, the installation has not yet been completed. The excuses for repeated delays and no-shows have been many and varied, with the latest being that ****** manager forgot to order additional parts. My last two inquiries as to the project's status have not been responded to.The full amount due for all three parts of the project was invoiced on May 22 and paid on May 25.Business Response

Orkin was suppose to come to my house Friday August 30, 2024 between 6 and 8 p.m. to render services and didnt come. I called them on Saturday August 31, 2024 to see why they didn't come and they stated the appointment was changed to Saturday October 26, 2024 between 8 and 10 a.m. (I requested they come on sales because that's when I would be home becauseI work Monday through Friday from 8-5:30) Orkin DIDNT CALL to let me know they weren't coming on August 30, 2024. I called 3 weeks ago to make sure they were coming Saturday October 26, 2024 between 8 & 10 and again, no one showed up. I called and asked the services be canceled and the young man said he would cancel the services. Around 7:30, 8 that Saturday evening I get a text messge and email that they were coming between 8 and 10 a.m. Tuesday October 29, 2024. I called Orkin back Monday October 28, 2024 and told the young man asked that the services be canceled because they never showed when they were supposed to and i got a text and email stating they would be put Tuesday. He told me they were computer generated messaages and that's why i got them and the services would be canceled. I received a text on Tuesday October 29, 2024 stating that Orkin was at my house. The guy called and i told him i had canceled the services because no one showed up on august 30 or October 26. He said that i was suppose to cancel 30 days ahead of time and i told him the guy i talked to didn't tell me that and i hung up. He called back and left a voicemail saying i would still have to pay for the service whether i was there or not. I called customer service and told the young lady i asked them to cancel my services and someone still came out. I told her they had missed 2 appointments and didnt let me know they weren't coming and she ssid she would let the managaer know but i was supoose to let them know 30 days before the appointment. I told her i work monday through friday and that's why i had the appointmentss on SaturdaysBusiness Response

My name is ******* **** and I formerly received services from *****. On September 30, 2024, I called ***** to cancel my services at ****************. I was told that you have a thirty day cancellation requirement. I informed the representative that I did not want anyone coming to my home and servicing it on October 9th and wanted it cancelled on that day. I was told Fine and the representative hung up. I received a reminder email that Orkin was coming to my home on October 9th and called a second time. I explained to a different representative that I had cancelled my services with *****. He assured me that he saw the cancelation and that no one would come to my residence. In October 9th, while I was away and during a hurricane, a representative came to my home and serviced it according to their report. Then I was charged $55.00. I have called the manager of the Orkin store, three times and not received a call back. I would like to be contacted as soon as possible regarding this issue.Business Response
