On Saturday, May 10, 2025, I contacted Orkin at 8:43 AM after reading their online promise: Call before 2 PM for same-day service. I was dealing with an emergency bee infestation inside my tenants townhouse, which had already forced her and her 10-year-old son to sleep in a hotel the night before.I spoke with a representative named Van, who initially said the appointment would be for Monday. I explained the urgency, and he made a call to his field team and confirmed a same-day emergency visit between 122 PM. I provided my credit card and signed the required documents. I was told the technician (*******) would call 30 minutes prior to ********** one ever called or arrived. I followed up multiple times. At 1:30 PM, I was told the office was closed but the technician was likely running late. At 2:30 PM, a representative named ****** confirmed the urgency was documented and said ******* was unreachable but still expected to arrive. Despite more calls, no one followed up or came. We waited the entire day for nothing.This was a clear case of misleading advertising. I was promised same-day service and was charged emotionally and time-wise for a service that was never delivered. ***** has made no effort to follow up or resolve this issue. No one from the company has contacted me since. I have also asked that no charges be processed to my card since the service was not rendered.I am filing this complaint to report the deceptive nature of this companys same-day service claim and the lack of accountability.Business Response

We apologize for the delay in this matter. The manager contacted Ms. ******** and apologized for the mix-up and arranged for a technician to go out to her home the same day. Ms. ******** decided to cancel the appointment and stated they are no longer in need of the service. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience and in the future if Ms. ******** ever has a need, we are hopeful she will give us another chance to prove our commitment to providing exceptional pest control services.

Orkin I was told when I first signed up that the initial 160 dollar charge was for the set up fee and the first 2 months of pest control. They do a visit then come back 30 says later. Then it would be 88 every 2 months.They came the first time, I still had bugs, they came a second time, still had bugs. I called to have them come out and correct the problem. And they told me I owe 88 dollars for the second visit. That They wouldnt come out again until it was paid. This is not the pretense that I signed up under. I told them this and they were completely dismissive and rude. I asked to speak to a manager, I was told he was in an attic somewhere and would call me back. This was a week ago. I called 2 times since then and then multiple times in the last couple of days and have still not been able to talk to a supervisor. In fact I get the same rude lady every time who has resorted to hanging up on me anytime I call. This company has been treating me like scum, its reminiscent of getting collections calls talking to these people. At this point since they wont talk to me the only choice I have is to file a claim with my bank. I would much rather have this resolved, but the company doesnt seem to care about keeping me as a customer.Business Response

I wanted to cancel my initial treatment but there is no one to answer the phone. My first call to the 888 number skipped past the service representative to leave a rating for the call. I called back and left a message stating that I want to pay for the initial consult that I was not given the opportunity to cancel and end the business relationship as of today. I expect your prompt attention to this matter with NO additional attempts at making a sale. Thanks!Business Response

I was notified that my termite renewal was coming up and to pay if I wanted to renew by mail and email. I didnt want to renew so I didnt pay the amount. I tried calling Orkin multiple times over several months and never received a response. The Orkin technician called my spouse on May 6 and notified him that the service had been scheduled for May 7. I had not received a response from Orkin even after leaving multiple messages that I wanted to cancel my services. I attempted to contact them multiple times through every number available with no response. The technician indicated if we dont pay the renewal fee we would be sent to collections.Business Response

Hello! I purchased my home in 2022 and took over the existing termite protection policy with Orkin, which covers termite prevention and treatment. For the record, there has never been any termite activity or related damage at the property. I placed my credit card on file to auto-renew the annual $25 policy. In August 2024, I contacted Orkin and was surprised to learn that my service had been terminated. I had never received any notification or explanation for this.After further inquiry by the branch manager, it was discovered that Orkin had the wrong mailing address on file. As a result, I never received any letters notifying me that payments needed to be made over the phone, or that my service would be canceled otherwise. The branch manager was helpful and assisted with reinstating my service, waiving the reinstatement fee and charging my card $50 to cover two years of renewals. I received a confirmation number and believed at that point that my service was fully ************* February 2025, I spoke with an agent who informed me there might have been an administrative error as the branch manager changed. She charged my card another $25 for renewal and gave me a transaction confirmation. I believed the reinstatement process would surely be completed ****** March 2025, I followed up again to get written confirmation that my service was active. I was told by an inspector that the branch manager would reach out to confirmbut never heard back. I reached out to Orkin multiple times throughout April 2025 but still received no ***********'s now May 2025. Although I have receipts and transaction records, I have yet to receive a written confirmation that my policy is active. I'm frustrated by the lack of communication and the repeated failure to resolve what should be a simple administrative matter.I am requesting written acknowledgment that my termite protection policy is fully active and in good standing, with appropriate coverage restored retroactively. Thanks!Business Response

Orkin put new insulation in my moms attic and when we went up to check damages from the storm it was noticed that they knocked off the dryer vent that goes through the attic to the roof which is a fire hazard and a mold and mildew issue if it gets cold with the moisture. I have been contacting them since April 16th and have been told they would fix it but they say they will be there on Friday May 2nd they never showed called and talked to a manager and he said they were short staffed and they would call to set a new appointment. I called today May 5th was told they were not answering the phone and that they would call me back. Im tired of getting the run around the part is $8.00 and takes 15 minutes of time to fix. I spent over $16,000.00 to have this issue with the attic and chipmunks and squirrels fixed. They knocked off the dryer vent no one else has been up there until I went up to look at it.Business Response

In Feb I was scheduled for a pest treatment and since its before bug season I asked if I could reschedule later. They said no, but you could cancel and restart your service later. They put me on hold to talk to someone. I didnt want to cancel my service for fear of being charged more. I had a business call and had to go while I was on hold. They canceled my service without my approval or knowledge, and when I called to find out why they never did the treatment and to schedule one, I was told my service was canceled and I could restart it, but at a rate of about $100 more a year. I told them I didnt cancel it, and they are apparently digging their heals in. I feel they purposely cancelled my service so they could charge me more. Im just asking for my service to be un-cancelled and be at my previous rate.Business Response

We apologize for the experience Mr. ******** has received and would like to escalate his concern but need a little more information.

I was charged for termite infestation. I hired an independent housing inspector and consultant to assess my home. The inspector found no evidence of current or past termite infestation in my home.The independent housing inspector also found that the attic insulation installed by Orkin was not done correctly and does not meet standard code regulations for my home. I will need to hire a company myself to reinstall my attic insulation according to the Code R-49 for proper protection. There was a lack of communication and documentation by *****. Despite multiple calls in March and April of 2025, never came to do a final review or inspection of the home, never provided promised photos or documentation of the service. I received no follow-up contact, schedule for review or written report that I was promised. I had previously cleaned my home of any mice and had hired an independent local service person to also clean my garage. ***** did not provide any work inside my home regarding elimination of mice other than repellent. Outside wiring around the porch was done but I dont think that is effective in mouse activity due to the nature of mice being able to enter small spaces. The wire was around my outdoor porch which is an addition to my home. I reported this matter to the Better Business Bureau with my dispute and complaint. Given the discrepancy between Orkins findings and the reputable independent housing inspector and consultant of not finding any evidence of past or current termite infestation, the improper installation of attic insulation installed, and the lack of promised documentation and follow-up, I feel the charges billed to my account are unwarranted. I am disputing these charges due to potential misrepresentation of services and the inadequate work performed. I request you take appropriate action to resolve this issue. I look forward to your prompt response and fair resolution to these charges.Business Response

We apologize for the inconvenience in this matter. The manager reached out to Ms. ******* to discuss her concerns regarding the service and allowanced $2962.70 on the termite account. Ms. ****** had another third-party inspector come out to inspect the insulation, and waiting to hear back from her on what they found. The manager has requested to inspect her home or send pictures of the work. We will continue to assist Ms. ******** in resolving her concerns.Initial Complaint
