      I contacted Orkin for pest control. The representative that was sent out didn't do what the video said that he would. I paid $82 for that visit on March 21, 2022. When I set up the contract I said inside only. After the first visit I received an email telling me that an appointment was scheduled for me. I called and told them I would be at work and reschedule and requested them not to schedule appointments for me that I would schedule my own. I also explained that the representative didn't do what the video said he would for pest control. I was sent a bill for the appointment that they scheduled and I was at work so I have no proof they were by my house. I called and complained and explained that my request was for the inside and not outside and I had no proof that their representative came to my house. They said they would reschedule for him to come on the inside. On 8-20-22 the representative came and my husband paid him cash. On 10-7-22 someone came a put a bag of $1 traps on my door and put a note inside saying he was there. He then began to call and harass me for money. I told him that I am not paying him for me to do work. I was threatening about collections. I explained that I didn't sign up for outside only inside and was not paying because I didn't make that appointment and other than the bag had no proof of his work. On 11-15-22 I talked to ******************************* and explained everything. He made an appointment to come on 11-21-22 from *****. He never showed. I received a call at 12:42pm from a ************************* stating he would be there in 5 minutes. He then asked if I was making a payment cause he couldn't come if I wasn't making a payment. I explained that I don't get paid til Friday and he rescheduled for 11-25-22 from *****. I received two bills from Orkin today 11-21-22. One says I owe $82 for August and $82 for October and the other one states both of these and adds December. Please assist me with this matter.

      We paid for the annual pest control plan ($700+) with Orkin back in July 2022. Weve contacted them numerous times this week to report rodents in our attic but keep being told that someone will reach out. In the very least we should get a call back from the technician giving us an approximate timeline. After paying so much money for this service we are very disappointed.

      January 2021 signed contract with Orkin to remove bats from rental property. I was required to give them a cc so they could charge as the job was completed. They charged in full but never completed the job. ****************, our property manager, was having difficulty getting ahold of Orkin branch so I took over fall of 2021. Orkin avoided calls, missed scheduled appointments, would not return messages, pointed fingers at each other shifting responsibility until finally a tech showed up September 22, 2022 (!) to inspect to see if bats were gone. The house still has bats, but the Orkin tech informed us that we were outside the warranty and they would not be coming back. I had to hire another company to remove bats and an exterminator to deal with the bat bugs we have now because of the lingering bats. Ive lost 3 months of rental income and paid an electrical contractor $3600 to deal with electrical in the attic for the required bat removal in the attic per Orkin.

      We apologize for the delay in this matter. The local branch has contacted ******************** and tried to discuss and resolve her concerns. Orkin has offered ******************** a refund of $1700.00 for the loss of rent at the property due to the exclusion work. The branch and region have also tried contacting rod@lakeiowarealty to inform him that squirrels or some large animal is destroying our work (why there is a continued bat issue).  The branch has not heard back from him to get into property. The branch let ******************** know that we could supply her the photos to show the damage, but she has declined.  We apologize for any inconvenience in this matter and would like to further resolve her concerns. ******************** may contact the local branch at **************.

      On October 3, 2022, We called for service from Orkin Pest Control. The service was ineffective and served no benefit in handling our issue. At the time of service, the charge was $389.52. We specifically told the service provider that we did NOT want recurring service charge and to only pay at the time of service as needed if and when they came again for another service. He told us no problem, we wouldn't need to pay unless they came, and we could cancel anytime. We've communicated over and over, the desire to cancel. Now, after that, I see an additional $56.59 on my card. There has not even been any further service rendered. . . just a charge on our card for nothing. . . on top of the $389 we paid earlier. We paid $389 for service that had no impact at all, and now are being charged $56 for literally nothing. We desire the company to refund payment and stop the charges immediately. *****************************

      We apologize for the delay in this matter. The branch emailed ********************** with confirmation that his credit card was refunded for $389.52 and $56.59.  The account was also cancelled.  The manager did try to contact ********************** via phone but was not able to reach him and was unable to leave a voicemail, the automatic messaging service stated the service had not been set up.  Again, we apologize for any inconvenience in this matter and if ********************** has any further concerns, he may contact the branch at **************.

      We find this resolution more than satisfactory   We originally asked for the 56 dollar charge to be removed and to be cancelled from recurring charges. The refunding of the original 384 fee was going above and beyond.  My gratitude for making it right and more. I wish this kind of customer service were the case right from the outset  

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

      Good morning,I am writing as a very unhappy customer who utilized ******************** for two separate occasions on a new home over Summer 2022, I have always used Orkin in other homes, but my new home had signs of rodents and bees that I wanted taken care of.The first issue was with the bees building a nest in my eave. The local office had to come out multiple times to take care of the issue. Okay fine. The rodent issue on the other hand was not handled correctly. The rodent had chewed out the filler Orkin used, I called local and 800 number several times on this issue and no one was sent out, the local office called me weeks later, AFTER, I had to spend $100 at ********** and repair the holes myself. The Regional Manager did call me after multiple requests were made by myself, and he was not willing to provide any discount and didnt seemed very alarmed or concerned with my situation. As I have stated I have used Orkin for very many years and never had an issue, but I was charged over $300 for this service and I am hoping corporate will make things right and appreciate customer loyalty.Thank you

      We operate an ******** regulated facility that requires regular extermination services by licensed providers. During our yearly inspection we were asked for a copy of the license. We reached out to our provider via phone and email for over a week with no response. We then scheduled an additional visit by the Technician in hopes of asking in person for the license. it was discovered at that time that the Technician from the local Orkin has a license that expired in 2020. We are now in danger of failing our inspection. No responses have been received from the Management of the local Orkin and no licenses have been received. We have cancelled our Services by calling ************, speaking to ******. She advised we are not in contract but still have to provide a 60 days notice and will incur charges during that time. This is unacceptable since we can not allow a person on in our facility that we know does not have a valid license. At this point we would are requesting a full refund for services provided since the expiration of the license in 2020. This is amount is approximately $5,640.

      Business Response

      Date: 12/14/2022

      We apologize for the delay in this matter. Management has contacted the customer to discuss their concerns and are working with the state to gain additional information.  We will continue to work with the customer to resolve their concerns and await information from the state.

      ************************* phone to follow up on the fact that they have reached out to the ***** regulating department in regards to the Technician's expired license.

      While we are empathetic with the steps they are having to take to retrieve the proper documentation, we also have a business to run that is required to meet strict regulations.

      We have to have proof that the person that provided the services at out location was licensed properly.

      As I shared with ************************* when we spoke, we received the email stating the **************** of *********** Director they reached out to would be out of the office until December 1, 2022. 

      It is now December 14 and we do not have a copy of any documentation stating the license was current when the service was provided.

      If the license was valid and recognized by TDA, please provide proof to Culligan Water Conditioning of West Texas, Inc.

      If no proof can be provided, we respectfully request a refund due to Orkin and their previous management allowing a non-compliant representative to perform a license required task at our facility.

      Business Response

      Date: 01/10/2023

      We apologize for the delay in this matter. The local branch was able to connect with the state and verified that the license had expired and there was a time lapse with the new license.  The Region is processing the refund to the customer.  We apologize for the delay and inconvenience in this matter.

      During visit with Inspector A.V. on 9/9/22, I asked if Orkin could put something underneath the bottom of my siding to keep mice out of my home. AV said Orkin Shield could be installed for $2000. When I remarked that maybe I could just put steel wool underneath my siding instead, AV failed to inform me that a purpose of Orkin Shield was to hold steel wool underneath my siding. Not knowing this, I signed a finance agreement for $3452.00 to have Orkin Shield installed & screens installed on my roof vents. 9/20/22 Orkin installed Orkin Shield incorrectly, causing surface damage to my foundation. 9/21/22 they removed Orkin Shield & agreed to patch damaged spots. 9/22/22 Orkin returned to properly reinstall the Orkin Shield without first repairing the damage. I had to leave before Orkin completed the job. Before leaving, I asked the Service Mgr. if he needed anything from me. He asked me to sign something without fully advising me of what I was signing. I was in a hurry, so I signed something on his computer tablet without reading it. Orkin was gone when I returned home. 9/22/22 I was emailed a copy of a work report that did not contain my signature. I subsequently made numerous requests for a copy of the document I signed. Despite AV saying Orkin would do so, I have not yet received it. 10/24/22 I requested, through AV, to have the Branch Manager contact me to discuss my customer experience. AV also said ******************** would hire a ***** to repair my foundation and the Branch Mgr. will call me when they have a date for a ***** to come to my house. I wasn't allowed to have any say in the ***** they choose or when the repairs will be done. I cancelled installation of roof vent screens based on their subpar work around my foundation. 10/24/22 AV said a partial credit would be issued for services not rendered, but they wouldn't honor the 1-year warranty on the work done. 11/15/22 called Rollins finance and told Orkin has not requested a credit to my account.

      Hello, I've been waiting on a follow up call from the claims department but it seems my request has fallen through the cracks once again. I've also reached out to **** multiple times but he has failed to respond as well. My floors and furniture in my home are completely destroyed and there's a lingering foul odor. My family has been staying in a hotel since the interior service was completed. The smell is unbearable and I'm concerned for the safety and well-being of my family. I've attached screenshots of the messages I've sent **** directly and a short video detailing the damage to my home.
