My husband and I asked the Monroe, ** Orkin branch to provide services for our pest issue. We were not satisfied with the service as the tech did not provide any of the treatments that was guaranteed to happen. She did the bare minimum of setting up traps which is something that we could have easily done ourselves. The other services that were supposed to be provided were going up into the crawl space to search for pests (where we were concerned about in the first place), walking around the perimeter of our house to look for ways into the house, spraying a treatment around the perimeter to deter pests, etc. However, none if these were provided. The tech had visited in late September. Since then we have asked for our money back (which is just shy of $400) several times and each time we call they report that a manager has to approve it and theyll send a message over to the manager. They have even tried sending over to a different manager and still no response. We have even called headquarters to deal with this issue and no response from them either.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: we were notified via phone on 1/31 that we would be receiving a check in the mail since it has been too long to refund to our original form of payment. We have not received the check nor have we received any confirmation that it has been sent.

We contracted Orkin in 2019 to help with our mouse problem. They put traps, did treatments, etc. When that did. not work, they sold us a ***** reinsulation and sealing of our attic. Including five years of follow up service for no charge. It is 2023. We have called and asked them to come out repeatedly over the years. We have to call between 3-5 times to get an answer, 50% of the time they come out when they say they will. We still have mice. We have mice in my work bag in the living room, dead mice in kids toys, dead mice in work rooms and under furniture. This morning we found two dead mice under the couch. The last time we called was December, we were promised a visit from a "supervisor" who never came. We have two children, aged 2 and 7. They think mice are just normal-they are used to finding them dead and alive in the house. I clean out the silverware drawer every night before I cook to remove mouse droppings. This is a disgusting way to live. Orkin has been neglectful in every way possible, Utterly unresponsive. When a treatment doesn't work they do not come back and say things like, ":I don't know why it's not working". We need help.Business Response

We apologize for the delay in this matter. The Branch Manager contacted ****************** to discuss her concerns and the need for services. The customer agreed for ******************** to render a series of pest control services with ***** day follow *** to insure they have captured any mice. The ********* agreed to monthly and will consider if ongoing is needed and has value. The manager will continue to follow up after the first 2 services to ensure the issue has been resolved. Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience in this matter and will continue to resolve the ******* pest control concerns.

Had services done in Feb of 21, new insulation and a protective cover was what i was told i was getting. After insulation was done it was secured with chicken wire and exposed to the elements and falling down I called to get a copy of my contract and. Was refused and told someone would come out. Called again in June, someone came out in July and I was told it would be fixed. Requested a copy of the contract again from *** in writing via email. Texted with manger and was assured it would be fixed. Called again no response, emailed again no reply, no reply on text message. Called again today to ask for a copy of the contract to submit to consumer protection for a resolution and was told "they couldn't speak with me any longer if litigation was involved" . Consumer protection is not litigation, they are refusing to fix the **** black mold mess under my home and my grandchildren have mold exposure rashes. Need this fixed properly or all my money refunded so i can hire another contractor to repair before this is a further public health hazardBusiness Response

Mice in the attic, charged $329 the guy comes out literally didnt inspect anything. Asked me to check the roof told me to put traps and buy my own poison. Said he would foam some spots they might be getting in. He didnt, I asked them whats the $329 cover? He said they would come back 4 more times to do a check and they would get into the crawl space and attic. A different guy comes back he actually put a trap up with poison and foamed some stuff, said hed be back the next day to go into the attic and find out the entry point. He didnt, it was a complete waste of money and they never reached back out to me.Business Response

Hi, This complaint is regarding address ******************************************************************. I have been a customer of ******************** for a year. The main reason I came to Orkin was that we had many pest issues in the apt, making it unable to move in. Our exterminator was great; however, our problem still needed to be resolved. Not only was it almost impossible to get a quick appt sometimes appt was canceled at the last minute due to a lack of technicians in the area. Over the year, I paid $729 to this company and was left without my problem being resolved. I had to move out of this apt because of these uncontrolled pest issues. Money wasted.Business Response

Orkin Pest Control told me that my job would cost $125.00 The job was performed on December 16, 2022. However, the bill that was mailed to me was for $133.75. When I called the company, I was told that price included PA tax. However, this additional charge was never disclosed to me before the service was performed. I feel this company defrauds customers by not disclosing the actual cost for the service that they provide. They employ deceptive practices.Business Response

We apologize for the delay and miscommunication on Orkin's part for not informing ****************** that we do apply ** tax on services.

We value all of our customers and hope ****************** will give us another chance to prove our commitment in providing exception pest control service. ****************** may contact us at ************.Customer Answer

On 4/23/2021, I contracted TruTech Critter Control to do exclusion work for squirrels/ rodents coming into home. Today 12/29/2022, I called them because heard squirrels again in home. Per their email 2/24/2022, my warranty is effective until 4/15/2023, however, their customer service representative failed to honor the warranty. This is unethical as I relied on this service to ensure the home was safe and secure and warranty provided gave me confidence in their service. Because of this failure I may have to find a new company to remove these rodents after having already spent $2900 with TruTech.Business Response

After contacting HomeTeam in August and again September stating that no service was wanted for the remainder of the year a technician was sent out anyway. I was not allerted by HomeTeam that a service had been scheduled by someone in their office. As soon as I was aware of the technician's presence I told him to stop and told him that the service was not requested, authorized, or sanctioned in any way. I also told the technician that I felt it was highly unethical for his company to sent someone out to perform unsanctioned services and then charge for them.I have had negative reports to credit, and been harassed repeatedly with phone calls and letters.I have contacted the company repeatedly by letter and phone, telling them I had no intention of paying for something that I did not authorize and that was unsuccessful in application. Despite my contacts the company has refused to comply.While the economy is down this is a highly unethical business practice and should not be allowed continue.Business Response
