Hello,Last week, I contacted Orkin (75 ******************. *************, ** *****) as I recently discovered a mouse in my apartment. When I called Orkin for service the representative that I spoke to scheduled me for an appointment on Friday 9/9 between 4-6 PM. I wasn't contacted by Orkin to confirm the scheduled appointment up to Friday 9/9, so I reached out to confirm myself. The representative said that their system "rescheduled my appointment" for 9/17 between 2-4 PM, and was done so without any notification or confirmation with me first. Due to the situation, I requested for a technician to be sent out at the earliest possible appointment date, and the representative assured me that a Tuesday 9/13 appointment from 4-6 PM was available. I was really upset that the original appointment was re-scheduled, but I accepted since this was the earliest available date.However, I called a few minutes ago to confirm and the same exact thing happened yet again. I was told that their computer system removed the appointment that I scheduled. This time I spoke with a representative named ****** (she tried to be as helpful as she could) and she said that normally Orkin doesn't confirm appointments from 4-6 PM, but that she would reach out to the scheduled technician to see whether he would be in a position to provide service from 4-6 PM today. I still don't have a confirmation that someone will be providing the service today, and I am incredibly frustrated by Orkin's lack of professionalism and poor communication (particularly management, not the technician). If an appointment is made, then it should be honored. It's not fair that a customer be left without any assurance that an appointment will be honored. This is the 2nd time in a year that I've experienced something like this with them. This is not acceptable, and I would like a resolution to this immediately.Thank you.Business Response

My wife seen a mouse in the house so we called Orkin. The guy came out in a suit and a clipboard. I was expecting glue traps. He sold me to replace my attic insulation $6,000.00. Not only was the insulation thrown on my recessed lights dropping them down, nail pops and no hatch guard barrier, but when removing the old insulation no protection was installed to prevent insulation from traveling threw my home. My entire house had insulation particles in the air. The tech didnt bag it up on the attic, they ripped it threw the hole and bagged it unprotected in the hall way, my wife called me in tears. My 6 year old son and 3 pets was in the house breathing it. I raced home after calling Orkin demanding them to stop working immediately. They didnt stop they were still working when I came home but a manager was there. He admitted there was some things wrong. He also indirectly stated that they would hate to stop and leave us with no insulation. The installer asked to borrow a tape measure from me. I told him I didnt have one to loan I left after getting my family out, arranging a carpet cleaning company, duc cleaning company for sale day service. Orkin had me pay the thousands of dollars then I was finally reimbursed month later. Over a month. However after I left the tech asked my wife for a tape measure once again after I told him no. But first he had to find her by walking threw the house covered in insulation all the way to our finished basement. Long story short, Orkin really did a number on us and I told them that even though I was going to sign a release form for the money that I would be filing a complaint to ****. Here is there findings attached. They were not licensed. They performed the work illegally in my home. They risked my families health, I had $6,000.00 worth of clean up they made me pay for out of pocket and they took the damages off my bill then mailed a check for ******. Which that damages they did to my home was even more then the entire job. IBusiness Response

From tech to installing insulation in attic this has been a horrible experience. I cancelled my monthly svc and finance contract during to being dissatisfied with the services provided. I have spoken to them and I do not have a balance. However rollins finance says I still have a contract even though I received a refund for monthly pest service it was the branch managers responsibility to make sure the contract was cancelled at my request due to exhaust fans knocked off their mount in the attic. They did not fix what they broke which caused the insulation to come into my home. I have spoken with another branch manager which says this is the first time if him hearing about my dissatisfaction. There is some serious miscommunication within the ranks. I've cancelled the entire svc when svc was being completed. In the portal it even states NO COST INSULATION SVC. ZERO BALANCEBusiness Response

I was getting regular home inspections by Orkin. They did a good job. I also got lantern fly services later. I didn't feel like I needed the regular home inspection services anymore and tried several times to cancel. I would like to keep the lantern fly services.

I went on a trip outside the country for an emergency, I lost my debit card, and I had to cancel it, A few days ago Home Team Pest Defense sent me a letter that they were going to send me to a collection agency if I didn't pay them $96.34, a service that they never served to my house unless I called them for service, during this period they did not treat my house, and I've been charging for 3 months that I was never served.

I canceled these services in February with Orkin and told them to remove my credit card. They are continuing to bill me despite numerous attempts to rectify the issue and re-confirming that my account has been canceled. The past charge on my credit card was June 13, 2022 and when I called them they apologized and stated the charge would be reversed and to date, it has not been. As of September 2022, I have received another bill from Orkin. Not only did I not receive the services, I canceled the services in FEBRUARY and reconfirmed in June (which they apologized as stated above). All attempts to mediate the issue through Orkin have been unsuccessful. They agree that its an error or an issue on their end but yet their faulty and fraudulent business practices continue and I am frustrated and want this to stop.Business Response

I got a phone call about having a miss payment and that the card on file was not working. I then log on to my account to add another card but noticed it was an inaccurate balance on my account. I then contacted orkin to let them know I was attempting to pay my miss payment but they 1st have to correct the error on their end. I explained to them that my payment is $53 every other month for 7 months. They processed to say that in their system it says I pay $106 every other month. I than requested a copy of my signed signature contract to prove that I was right. They emailed me my contact and it indeed states I pay $53 every other month for 7month with a total pay of $371. I then requested that they adjust the amount shown as a missed payment so I can pay. They refused and sent me a statement in the mail saying I owe $265 and that the made an adjustment of $53 and that my amount is still $106 every other month. I told them This is not the contact I sign and that they have to honor the original contract that states the pay is $53. The 1st service date was 4/28/22 which I paid $248. The second service date was 6/22/22 which that month I didnt have to pay anything. They suppose to came out in the month of may which I was supposed to pay $53 but they never came out that month. The 3rd time they came out was 7/18/22 which I was supposed to pay $53 They didnt come out no month after that. My card was on auto pay but I lost my card and got a new one and simply for got to up date the card which is why I missed the payment. Once I was aware I attempted to make my missed payment of $53 for the month of July but they refused to fix the mistake. By law they are required to go by contact until the contact is finished.Business Response
