      We hired Orkin to come remove a wasp nest in our chimney. On 11/11 they came and told us they do not provide that service they only spray the exterior of the property. They also informed us that the cost would be $172. We immediately called Orkin as we did not sign up for a monthly plan and they cancelled that subscription. The provider was at the property for under 15 minutes and the work order provide post service says he applied granular bait around perimeter of home and inspected for wasp nest and no nest found. Knocked down all visible spider webs. He then provided us a bill for $275 which was automatically charged to our card on file. They did not take care of the problem we called them for originally despite assurances when the appointment was made that they would and charged us far beyond what we agreed to for a service we did not want.

      As of November 10, 2022, Orkin has failed to close our account for termite & pest control services after repeated attempts to verbally close the account. Now they have allowed new homeowners to take possession of the termite bond, but refuse to remove my name and personal info from the bond. I sold the property in May 2022 hence the request to close all accounts. I understand that the bond stays with the house, but when I called the local branch to request that they remove my name and info from the **** and transfer it into the new homeowners name, I was denied. The receptionist made excuses and eventually hung up on me. I initially called to close all accounts/services in May 2022. Since then I have had to call no less than 3 times to address continued errors regarding scheduling and billing for an account that I was told had been closed. Most recently, I was mailed a bill for termite bond renewal/service in the amount of nearly $300. This bill was mailed to my new address, but in regards to the property I sold in May 2022. Now that a work order has been completed (11/10/22) for services rendered, and signed by the new homeowner, I allege that my personal credit and identification has been inappropriately used without authorization.I hereby request a written confirmation of termination of all services for the property at ****************************************************************** containing my name and personal identifying information as well as the proper transfer of the termite bond into the new homeowners name.Thank you

      We apologize for the delay in this matter. The Region contacted the Brissons to discuss their concerns and inspected the home on 8/29. During the inspection the manager explained that the Dryzone was working properly, and the humidity level was at 47%.  ****************** stated that the dehumidifier vibrated the house and all the lights dimmed when it was running.  ****************** also stated the crawlspace stayed flooded.  The manager found no evidence of large amount of water on top of the poly. There was a small amount of dust, residue from sediment of some standing water, by the door. 
      The manager offered to install a sump pump at no cost.  In addition, have an electrician put the dehumidifier on a separate breaker.  ****************** agreed to the offer.
      The electrician wired the outlet that the dehumidifier was using to a separate breaker and the Orkin branch installed a sump pump on 10/6 at no cost to ******************
      The branch office contacted ****************** on 11/15 to discuss any further concerns and ****************** state the concerns was already turned over to the Attorney General. 
      We apologize for any inconvenience in this matter and will resolve any further concerns through the Attorney General.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      the satisfaction guarantee was not honored there a still spiders under the house and the lights were more than dimming and the dehumidifier sounded like a bomb going off and the lights were flickering on off and on popping the breaker the manager said that it was supposed to be on its own breaker the barrier was extremely soaked we had multiple people come out and look at the work and told us that it wasnt done properly thy manager said that they would lay more poly down and extend the payment due to the fact that they have a satisfaction guarantee or we do not pay and they have not honored this at all we asked them to redo the pest control over and over again they also said that they would only talk to my son because i was so upset with the work that they have done there have been issues from the start i told them that the bugs come up from the vents all the time they told us that they would make sure that we were satisfied with everything but no matter what they have done it has not been right they had the wrong vents the way they explained the contract to me was going to be fixed on the same day and that they were to clean up underneath where the installation had fallen down and where there were black spots all over the wood and they told us that it was going to look brand new under there and it would stay nice  but it extremely dirty lots of spiders and spiders webs if they did what they where supposed to do we would have no problems paying them we called them over and over it took weeks for somebody to get back to us then the guy said well i got to get my other manager involved i got the run around over and over again we paid one thousand five hundred dollars upfront and we we call to talk to the finance company they told us that they only had the termite contractor on there i told them to please correct the issue and we would be glad to pay them the monthly payment but it needed to be reflected that it wasnt completed properly until were done this still has not happened

      I was having an issue with fleas in my house. I called Orkin and asked about their service. I was told that they spray inside and outside my house, the entire floors and perimeter. I was told it would be $500 and the problem would be taken care of but that they do come a second time and I am guaranteed for 60 days. I was told that the process takes about an hour to spray inside and outside and that I would have to make arrangements to be out of the house for four hours in total. When the man arrived to spray my house he had conflicting information. I was told that they do not spray outside the house and that he would only be there for 20 minutes and not to go too far and he asked me if I wanted to cancel the appointment because I had children I replied no I planned for this and we plan to be out of the house for four hours. I have the ring doorbell which captured him entering my house and exiting my house he was in my house for a total of 15 minutes. When a few weeks past I noticed the fleas come back but Worse. I called they explained it was normal and that they should decrease. They also argued that he was there fOr over an hour regardless that I had proof that he was not. About a week later I called again because now they were in my childrens hair. I explained that I have on video that the man did not do what I paid him to do and that I wanted a manager to come for the second time. They assured me a manager would come yet the day of my appointment the same man showed up. I spoke to a manager they said no problem we will come out on Wednesday they rescheduled my appointment. Today is Wednesday they called me an hour after my appointment time to tell me that they have to reschedule again. They got their $500 and I did not receive the service that I was promised. They keep canceling on me and they do not understand that this is an issue because there is fleas in my house and I have three small children. I want a refund for my money.

      The last week of July 2022 we called HomeTeam Pest Defense to cancel their services. They had billed us for a service they did not actually perform (Ring Video showed they were not there). So, we canceled at the end of July 2022. They tried billing us again August 1st. We called AGAIN to cancel services and were informed by their team they would remove all the bills they billed us for. They ONCE AGAIN failed to process the cancellation, and again billed us for services they DID NOT perform. They are stealing and charging for services they did not provide. They just sent me a threatening letter demanding I bend to their threats, or they will damage my credit. Which is illegal. My bank is also investigating them for fraud, and I have requested they move forward with all legal action they can for fraud and theft. The company will cease and desist their threats, if it is reported to my credit they WILL financially compensate me for undue hardship and stress, and they will remove all charges they are trying to receive and zero my account out since we have called MULTIPLE times to cancel over the past 4 months.

      We apologize for the delay in this matter. The General Manager tried contacting Mr. *********** to discuss his concerns and left a voice mail stating that the account had been cancelled as of 11/9 and stopped the collection efforts.  Their new balance is zero.
      He also made them aware that their home is currently under warranty for subterranean termites by the builder.  The manager asked that they please give us a call to let us know if this is something they wish to continue and that their contact person would be our Office Manager *****************************.

      I am rejecting this response because: *********** lied in their email to BBB and voicemail. They said they took care of the false charges instead they sold the false charges that shouldn't exist to A.R.M. Solutions as an u paid debt even though I do NOT owe this money. They have falsified a sale of a debt and hindered my abd my wife's credit creat8ng undue hardship and financial stress that hurts our ability to provide for our family. I am requir9ng the company contact A.R.M Solutions effective immediately and put in writ8ng that is a false bill and I owe nothing! If not I will be taking legal action for personal injury against HomTean Pest Defense. The ONLY thing they are required to provide from this point forward is my termite warranty that I paid for up front when I bought the house.

      In 10/2021 Orkin found termite damage to my house. On 8/17/2022 (10 months later), repairs started and as of 10/27/2022, the repairs are finally completed. The damage was more than Orkin originally thought. Orkin sourced ******************* to do the repairs. During the repairs, ******************* found additional damage which required them to remove structure down to the ground from our half bath, laundry room and kitchen. Even our bottom kitchen cabinets had to be removed and they proceeded to repair all damages. The repairs were finally completed and now Orkin is stalling on paying the final bill to *******************. Not to mention that during this past year, it was very difficult to get anyone from Orkin to return my calls. After getting Orkin's Regional manager involved, they finally agreed to re-treat the house to prevent future termite damage. Orkin's customer service is worthless. The contract for the repairs was between Orkin and ******************* and now threats are being made by ******************* to Orkin, stating that if Orkin does not pay then ******************* will take a lean out on my property. Orkin has serviced this residence since it was built in **** without a lapse of the yearly fees which guarantees to warranty any damage discovered due to termites. I have been dealing with this for a year and I'm tired of big business not honoring their word. All I want is for Orkin to pay ******************* for the work they've done and to reimburse me for the replacement cabinets that I've paid for out of my pocket so we could have a functional kitchen again. What good is it to pay for a warranty when they don't honor it. Now Orkin wants to play stall tactics instead of doing the right thing. If Orkin had been doing their yearly inspections properly, the damage wouldn't have been so extensive.

      On April 6, I paid for the entire year of pest service and I paid $400.50. I cancelled the service on August 7 because I was told that I needed to have an outside pest company as well. Since I found a company that would treat inside and outside for the same price, I hired the new company. I was told it would take a few weeks to receive my refund for the portion not used.In October, I finally received a check dated October 13, 2022 in the amount of $153.50. The check was deposited in my checking account on October 27, 2022. On November 1, 2022, my bank account was charged for the check plus an $8.00 service fee. According to my bank, the company stopped payment on this check even though this money is owed to me.Since I have not been refunded for the service not used, the company now owes me $153.50 plus the $8.00 service fee caused by the stop payment.

      The ******* Orkin site wants to charge me for cancelling scheduled service this morning, but I will not pay on grounds of poor service. The technicians were scheduled and confirmed for a 10 am - 12 noon arrival time at my home today, but showed up an hour early, at 9 am, without prior notice. I checked and saw the technicians on the front steps through a window. We're retired - I was just out of bed getting ready and dressed for the 10 am - 12 noon window when I heard the doorbell ringing and ringing and ringing at 9 am. The technicians were so impatient that they just rang and rang without waiting for anyone to answer.When I called through the window, a technician said: "We're a little early." When I told him he was an hour early and would need to wait until I got dressed, he just shrugged and said he needed to begin work. When I told him I was not yet dressed, he just shrugged again. My husband had to get up and talk to him. They may have thought they could inspect the outside of the property without my presence, but property lines are not clear here, and we just put in a new lawn. They needed to wait until I could show them what to do.I called the home office to complain that coming an hour early without notice is as obnoxious as coming an hour late without notice, and that the technicians were uncooperative. This is bad service.I cancelled the service altogether, told the home office to let their employees know not to come back, and I refused to pay for the visit. If the technicians won't cooperate on an arrival time and will not cooperate when the customer states that she needs to get dressed before they begin work, then this is bad service, and it's not likely that they'll cooperate with any special needs or circumstances when onsite and working.I don't want them back and will not pay for bad service.Thanks.************************* *********************************************************

This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
