Orkin Pest & Termite Control

I had used a pest control company a couple years ago to perform a deflea treatment as required by my lease upon moving out. The cost was very competitive and reasonable ($ 125!). The tech was on time and friendly.
This time around, I couldn’t remember who had performed my deflea. So I called four different pest control companies whose prices were $ 200+. I even called Orkin’s corporate number and their estimate was more than twice what I paid 2 years ago.
So I googled more and happened to stumble upon the Orkin branch that did my deflea two years ago (in Waipahu, 487‑2080). They still had me in their system! (yea!) and the cost was the same (very cool!) So I’ve already got them scheduled to come out in a couple of days.
Thanks Orkin!

Been battling a pretty gnarly ant issue at my condo since 2013. The outside areas were not being maintained properly, and an ant infestation had spread through the premises, eventually coming up to my unit. Dealt with inefficient treatments from a different business, then decided to try Orkin. Was lucky to have Won as my Orkin tech, and within a few treatments, my horrible nightmare was over. He was prompt, efficient, and was so great about listening to my concerns and dealing with them accordingly. My home was clean and pest free while I was under contract with Orkin because of Won’s great work. He treated the outside areas of my condo unit (I live on the lowest floor near greenery), which helped to really control the ant activity, and also treated the interior of my unit to repel any ants from infesting from the outside, where the major issue was. Fortunately but unfortunately, the condo association finally took action and hired professional pest control services over a year and a half after the initial problems began… But they hired another company that is NOT effective and I’m experiencing an ugly infestation again. I MISS ORKIN!

I don’t know why i keep using this place. They really are ok. i have had flea problems. They came and treated it but the fleas came back in a few days. When I called to say the fleas were still there, they wanted me to pay more money for the treatment. i also called them about some dry wood termites. The termite holes are obviously there but the guy said that they had to actually see the droppings before they could treat. Well, 3 days later, I see a bunch of them getting fried on my light and they’re coming out of the holes. The worst part about Orkin is that you have to reserve with separate technicians for each bug. The main office doesn’t schedule anything. So you call them up and they basically have the technician for that bug call you to reserve a time whenever they are available. So half the time they call at some inconvenient time in the middle of a work day. Ok, I am trying another place

In the past as renters our landlord covered the expense of pest control, however in our current residence we found ourselves desperately in need of help regardless of who footed the bill. I was easily able to contact Orkin through their 800 number and scheduled our initial appointment. The pricing was explained in detail over the phone, and my technician showed up as scheduled.
Won my «bug slayer» has been treating our house for well over a year and is a godsend. He comes as scheduled and has always been willing to come out for additional sprays when the war against the bugs isn’t going so well.
If you’re losing the war in your house, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend giving Orkin a call. It sometimes may feel like a losing battle, but there definitely has been a noticeable improvement in our home and I finally have stopped using the nickname of Joe’s Apartment.

So right before we were about to move out of our apartment our landlord told us we needed to get a professional to do a flea inspection on the house. called Orkin and scheduled a date. well a couple days later our cats had fleas. So I called back to reschedule to an earlier date so we could get our furniture treated before the movers came and picked our stuff up (this was still a week in advance). The first time I called the lady at Orkin Corporate or whatever assured me that the appointment would be moved, but would call back when she had confirmation… so I waited and waited and no call back. The next day I called again to confirm and another lady (you have to go through an 800 number so basically you have to start from scratch every time you call them) called my local office and again, ASSURED me that the appointment was moved.
Come appointment day guess what happens? Correct! nobody shows up. I called corporate again and requested to specifically speak to the local office and again… YOU GUESSED IT! The appointment was never changed. We had to throw away a bunch of our furniture because Orkin screwed us around and we weren’t shipping flea infested furniture.
So call Orkin if you want to have your time wasted, otherwise look elsewhere!

After a half hour on hold on their 1 – 800 number, and listening to a 15 minute scripted spiel by their sales person. They told me it’s a $ 95 charge just to come out and inspect. No thanks, I’ll stick to a local company

I made an appointment and no one showed up. I called the guy I made the appointment with and he said he forgot. He tried to get me to reschedule but I said he needed to show up today. He said he would be there in an hour. After waiting an hour he called and said he is leaving to meet with me. He never showed up.
