      We hired Orkin to fix our basement. It was taking on water everytime it rained. Orkin assured us that they could fix our moisture problem. We were told that we would be able to use our basement as a living space once they were done. We agreed on a price of $15,654.00. They started the job in Dec of 2021. By March when the payment was due the problem was still not fixed. We finally got a supervisor to come out and go over everything with us. They were demanding payment when the job wasnt completed. I decided to go ahead and pay it off and keep working with them. They charged a months interest when we paid it off and I had to fight to get the interest back. They tried to short pay me on my interest by rounding down my refund. I then had to fight to get the rest. When the supervisor came out we were going over the paperwork and noticed that we were charged for equipment not used and services not rendered. Almost $4000 and they apologized. They said that they would go ahead and install the sump pump we were charged for but didnt get. They said that should keep the water out and they would check it again after we had a couple of storms to see what happened. I contacted them immediately to let them know that our basement was still taking on water. No response for over a month! We still had not received a refund for the equipment that we were charged for and didnt get. I went to their office and spoke with ***** the manager. He stated he would get with ***** when he gets in and will follow up with us. Two days later we receive a check in the mail. Once again they took it upon themselves to round my refund down and we had to fight for the additional funds. Finally ***** calls and says that there is nothing else they can do. We should have never took this job. I explained to him but you did and we expect to get what we were promised and what we paid for. At that point ***** told my daughter who lives in the property that they would no long be sp

      We apologize for the delay in this matter. ***************************** contracted Orkin to encapsulate his crawl space and do drainage work in other parts of the crawl/ walk in cellar.  A part of the french drain couldnt be installed because of clearance issues with the ditch and foundation wall clearance. The branch did refund ********************** $2,600 for the service and $ 700 for the interest on his installment plan.  The manager and service manager meet with ********************** at the home and agreed that Orkin would rent a ********************* so a sump pump could be installed in the cellar floor basement to pump out any water that entered the cellar.  ************ had a value of $2,100, if paid for and was completed on 8/1/22.  The agreement is considered closed, and all services performed, and all refunds have been made to **********************. If ********************** has any further concerns, he may contact us at **************.

      Complaint: 18599099

      I am rejecting this response because:

      The reason that I am hesitant to accept their response is because once again they are lying.  First of all, No one from Orkin met with us.  I reached out to BBB because we had not heard anything and BBB apologized and within the hour we received a call phone call from **** with Orkin.  We did schedule an appointment for **** to meet with us and discuss a solution.  I do not want to close out this complaint because we have been trying for over a year to get this resolved with no luck.  The only reason they are reaching out now is because we reached out to BBB for help.  We will meet with **** on 2/13 and respond again after that.  Based on the way we have been treated (Ignored) we are requesting that this complaint remain open. 
      Thank you
      Sincerely,

      Cancelled pest control contract with this company. They even picked up their items. Prior to that they did not do what I had requested which was set out more traps which was the reason I canceled. They have continued to bill me for multiple months for $89 after I canceled. Total of 3 months.

      On 12/21/2021 bait stations were installed at my new construction home per an agreement with the builder to last exactly one year. Hometeam pest defense called and asked me if I wanted to renew which I stated I didnt because it was too expensive. They had came out on 12/12/2022 without my permission or knowledge and removed the bait stations around my house. This is in violation of the agreement which states that its for 1 year. I asked the customer service rep to reinstall them until the expiration date however she said since I didnt say I was going to renew it now cancels out the 1 year agreement. I explained to her thats not how contracts work. I asked for a copy of the agreement which she never provided. This is considered breach of contract.

      Date Orkin inspector inspected residence was 9/6/22.Orkin committed to install Orkin Bat Shield, Attic Insulation, and Leaf Stoppers. The disputes: The Leaf Stoppers are improperly installed and are useless. They are crooked and bent, completely unprofessional. They only created another gutter on top of the existing gutter which holds leaves and debris. The insulation was only done to a portion of the attic, approximately 60%, not in the entire attic of the house as stated in contract. The inspection after installation of products was not completed. Orkin has refused to communicate with us at all. We called and texted numerous times and received no response to address problems. We called the 800 number given if there were problems and their representative set up an appointment with branch manager at our home and he did not show up, he didn't contact us, and we haven't heard from him since. We tried to contact Orkin Branch manager and salesperson a couple more times since but to no avail. We have documented the times we have called and texted them. The resolution desired: Leaf Stopper that is a useless product that doesn't work. Deduct $1804.00 from the contract billing. The insulation was only put in approximately 60% of the attic so a deduction of 40% for an insulation cost of $4527.60 (deduct $3018.40). Deduct the $598.00 charge for inspection to be done 1x a year for 2 years; due to our dealings with Orkin being so unpleasant we do not want Orkin to return to our residence.Therefore, our billing total of $14,484.00 should be adjusted to $8609.60.

      I am rejecting this response because: very little has been done to rectify the situation.  We met with **************** on 12-29-22 and he agree to a $****.00 deduct for leaf guards and follow-up inspections and was going to add insulation that we questioned about.  He was going to see about further compensation for this mess and left saying he would call *** on Friday 12-30-22.  He did not call back but texted ****** that he was waiting for information from the finance department.  On 1-3-23 we received Rollins response from the BBB. On 1-4-23 we received an email from branch manager about the deduct of **** and them coming on 1-7-23 to do the insulation.  We emailed back that Saturday would work and what about further compensation.  We haven't heard anything since, and they completely blew off the Saturday work and didn't call. So, we don't see where anything is resolved.  Just another runaround, and we wasted another day.  We request that Rollins additionally deduct $3018.40 for inadequate insulation to resolve this complaint.

      I am rejecting this response because the original amount due was $14,484.00. With the $5000.00 adjustment the total amount is $9484.00.  We are not responsible for any late fees or interest.  When the bill is adjusted to $9484.00 we will pay it and consider the matter closed.

I had contacted Orkin via their website stating that I will be in the hospital and will contact them upon my return home.

      I have a 4 yr contract with Orking for termites. Was supposed to have yearly bait changes and checks for termites on 3 properties in April they keep dragging these checks out and I have to make numerous calls they cancel after getting appointments or show up when dont have appointment. Had appt sept 28 no show got a notice they had come to my rental property 11/21/22 but they didnt come to my main house where the termites were. I have called several times asking for manager and no call back. I have spent $48,000. And in the last 3 years they still have not reinspected and only 1 time changed out baits. I can not get phone numbers beyond the customer service who never follow thru. Termites are not active in cold so for them to put me off until fall and winter to check baits for activity is rediculous.

      We paid for Orkin to install a mesh fence around the base of our house to keep animal outs from underneath. I was told in person that I would be able to pay a down payment within 90 days of the service. I was told I could then pay the rest of the service on a repayment plan with monthly installments. I submitted my information and qualified for that financing program in person before the service occurred. Then Orkin performed the service. I never received a bill in the mail or by email. I had no way to pay toward my down payment for 3 months after the service. I called the local and national Orkin office dozens of times during that time period. I kept getting told that no one could help me or provide me the bill. Months after the service, I received my very first bill in the mail. It said that my full amount toward the service was overdue and headed to collections. I called Orkin again over and over and was still not provided any help at all. Eventually I paid the entire amount of the service because I was still unable to access my bill or talk to anyone at Orkin who knew anything or could help me. It was an incredible hardship financially for me and my family. It was bait-and-switch and unacceptable behavior.

      Orkin of ****, ** took complete advantage of the elderly (my mother and friend). They contracted bed bugs in their home from the visiting nurses after my mother had an illness. Orkin charged them $1800, came out one time,never got rid of the bed bugs, came out again, still not rid of them and they had them more than ever, and Orkin would not come back out, this went on for 3 months until they had to pay another $2000 to another pest control company-Home Paramount to get rid of the bed bugs. They had to stay at relatives and hotels, throw away furniture, all because Orkin would not handle the bugs. Home Paramount came out until they were gone and now comes once a month to check. Orkin stated they do not have a maintenance plan. So, $5,000 later, this 87 year old couple are out. Orkin needs to give back their money. *********************** (the account was in his name)224 **************************************** Account # ******** Dates of service June 2 and June 16, 2022
