We was told that we had to do a contract in order to start service and was told that it's policy but the policy will terminate after the 1st service. Just for us to get billed for more service. The man just came and performed service without my permission and unfortunately my son didn't know and he saw the man outside and was told that the service was paid so my son allowed service. I spoke to two managers one being ******* the office manager was rude and denied my refund. I advise to make sure the service is canceled she stated she did just for me to have a man show up at my home again this morning trying to to perform service and we turned him away.This is what happen last time. This is a rip off to the consumer and the service didnt even work we have never had issue with ants and after they service ants we everywhere where we paid for other options.

Now today is 05.02.25 and I still haven't received anything everytime I call They say it's been sent then say oh no it hasn't. Then say let me look into this I'll have to call you back.

Over the course of the last 12 months, we have been paying Orkin $50 a month, for them to come every other month for inside and outside treatment. Regularly Orkin would only give us a few minutes notice and then complain since we were not there they only treated the outside. I made multiple attempts to contact the office with no return communication. I finally got in touch with the district manager requesting a bigger heads up so we could get home to let them in to treat the inside. This only worked one time. We then started to notice that we were getting a report that the house had been treated with no heads up and no activity on any of our nine security cameras. I got back in touch with the district manager to express my concern to which he assured it would never happen again. The next visit I was notified the day before, ran home, let the employee in my house, spoke for a minute, and when he went to treat the inside, the backpack pump fell apart and spilled all over the living room in my house. I grabbed a towel and cleaned it up, the man was very apologetic and then treated some spots with an aerosol bottle and then left. The next visit we got a report but again not a notification of anyone coming and no one captured at the property on our cameras. I contacted the district manager who let me know he was out with the flu but would get back to me promptly. I contacted him on March 7, 11, and 20, still with no resolution and still no answers. We are still getting billed but still getting nothing out of it. Their only offer so far has been a credit which we just want the treatment refunded and our contract cancelled.Business Response

I am writing to formally file a complaint against Orkin Pest Control of ********** ** regarding their failure to provide confirmation of my contract cancellation, lack of follow-up, and billing issues.I cancelled my service with Orkin and requested written confirmation stating that my contract was terminated and that no further billing would occur. Since then, I have made three phone calls and sent two emails requesting this documentation. I was informed that ***** ******* would follow up with me, but it has now been three weeks, and I have received no responseno call, no email, nothing.Additionally, ***** charged me for services, but failed to return when I called to advise that I did not want my contract extended beyond February and requested 1 final visit. Despite my clear request, they still billed me for the service but did not provide it. As a result, I am seeking:Written confirmation of my cancelled contract for my records.A refund for the last months payment for services that were billed but not rendered. Alternatively, if Orkin is unwilling to issue a refund, I am requesting that they honor a final service visit equivalent to the payment they collected.This lack of communication and failure to follow through is unacceptable. It is disheartening that Orkin is diligent in processing monthly payments but fails to show the same level of attentiveness when it comes to customer satisfaction and honoring basic service requests.I am requesting the BBB's assistance in helping me obtain both the written cancellation confirmation and a refund or final service visit. I would also appreciate this matter being documented as part of their customer service record, as it reflects a lack of accountability and professionalism.Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please feel free to contact me if you require any further information. ****** ******Business Response

On December 13 2024, we hired orkin to diagnose an ant problem we had, where they enrolled us in an ongoing(5 year plan) to come in monthly to poison these ants. 3 months later and we still have ants, and there is no signs of stopping. It turns out, they misdiagnosed the original ant problem we had. We have acrobatic ants and paid for regular ant protection which doesn't include acrobatic ants. If they had identified acrobatic ants to begin with, we would not have agreed to this original contract. And now they are saying that the can't help us out because these ants aren't covered under our current contract and that we would have to pay more money for them to take care of them. We call almost weekly and they never get back to us. We just want our money back from our original ant contract so we can look for pest control elsewhere.Business Response

In late January, I contacted three agencies, including Orkin Pest Control in **********, ** to obtain an estimate for an ant infestation. I chose Orkin with the deciding factor being that I had recently put my house up for sale with plans to move to *****. The salesperson informed me that I would be able to transfer my account to my Texas residence because ***** is a national company. The salesperson then offered me 3 levels of service. One of the levels offered was over $100+/month. I informed the salesperson that the $100+ amount was too much and that I had received a much lower quote from another company. I chose the mid-level service for every other month and signed the attached agreement, which included a discounted charge for the first visit in the amount of $111 and $60/every other month. During the sales call, I was also informed that the first visit ***** would check inside, outside, and in the attic for signs of an ant infestation. I was informed of their 30-day warranty, which states that if, within 30 days, I was not satisfied or still had ants, they would return and spray without charge. The ant problem persisted, and I contacted Orkin multiple times, but I did not receive a response. Finally, someone answered, and I received a text back. I responded to the text and was informed that I had not contacted them. I photocopied the attempted phone call and sent it to the Orkin person at ************** regarding phone calls to **************. The initial application was on January 27, 2025 at 10:39 a.m. The 30-day period was not up until February 26, 2025. The Orkin tech came back out and sprayed within the 30-day period. There should not have been a charge!. The Orkin tech that sprayed told me to contact ****** or Ms. ****** at ************** to resolve billing issues. I contacted ****** and was informed that she would check with their manager and call me back. Instead, I received an illegal bill from Orkin in the amount of $120.Business Response
Date: 04/08/2025
The Branch Manager contacted Ms. ******* to resolve her billing concerns and answer any questions. We apologize for the miscommunication on our part and the manager explained the ******* program and how it worked, and Ms. ******* now has a better understanding of how the payments are made. The manager also removed the balance on the account. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

I called Orkin to possibly start service on my home. I spoke with the gentleman and a service contract was sent to my email. The email is ************************* The amount on the contract was $114 for initial service and $48 dollars per month. This was done on March 19, 2025. I received a text from **** with Orkin Pest Control on March 20, 2025, from phone number **************. It said I see you reached out to us recently and we didn't get your service started. We currently have a promotion offering a 10% discount on your previous quote and we can get you started today or anytime next week. Would you like me to proceed with the service today? My point is I did not sign the service agreement. So, the service is not started. That is why I received the text on March 20, 2025. I called and spoke with a gentleman on the phone @ **************, and he said the numbers have been adjusted and an updated service agreement will be emailed. Evidently, he did not tell the truth about updating the contract. Because I called back @ the same number and spoke with ***** and she said that I cannot get the additional 10% off. This is a scam. I was getting ready to sign the agreement. I do not think I will now because of the lies I am being told about the service. The only way this can be resolved is the have the addition 10% percent off the previous quote that was stated in the text that I received. I am very disappointed.Business Response

We apologize for the delay in this matter. The manager contacted the son of Mrs. **** ********, ****** ******** to resolve their pest control service and pricing. An inspection of the home by an Orkin Pro and a home inspector was rendered on 4/1 and found several issues with the home, and recommended he have those issues resolved sooner than later to give him the quicker result for the home. Mr. ******** requested to cancel the service for now until they resolve the issue with the home, and he would consider calling Orkin back. The manager tried to give them all of the money they spent with ***** and continue the service going forward for the regular service visit price, but he declined to take my offer and said he would rather just cancel the service for now. The manager asked Mr. ******** to send him an email indicating the cancellation and he would have the Office Admin cancel the service effective immediately, the manager has also refunded his money.
