Orkin tech while doing an inside inspection went upstairs to check the rooms & into my attic(without my knowledge beforehand) & appears to have stepped on an a/c drip line breaking the seal & causing a resulting leak I discovered this leak into my MBR walk in closet & running into my dsg area & return air approx minutes after he leftI called Orkin & asked to speak to a manager & told the clerk what had happenedShe took my # & said someone would call meAll night I stopped the water from going unto my approx 15'x18' MBR carpet Knowing there were no water pipes just a/c equipment above the leak area, I put a call into my a/c man This was August 21st the day after the leak first appeared He came ASAP early that afternoon & verified that the seal on the drip line from the a/c equipment to the sewerage line/air vent was broken & leakingHe did his best to reseal it but due to the connections being wet he said I would need a plumber for a lasting fixThe active leak ap

I have use ORKIN as my pest control service for over yearsThey were here to perform an annual inspection on Apr 2017, they have not been back sinceI called in early October to find out when they were going to check the monitoring stations because some of the tops have come off or broken and one station was removed to facilitate the installation of a propane tank (it is still laying on top of the ground)Was told that they
had been here in SeptemberWhen they couldn't find a record of the visit and explain why they didn't reinstall the monitoring station on that visit if they were here, they said they would get some scheduled to check the stationsI have called three times and been given three dates for service
They have not showed up for either date

Orkin fails to do the job with sign a contract for them to do and wont call us back or respondThey have only come to our home once!
We hired Orkin in Sept of to come rid our house of roaches that has begun to infest us slowly from an apartment behind usTheir service tech shows up, sweaty, shirt half tucked in and has us sign a contract with Orkin assuring they will be here to do this job and will be here every monthWe pay the man the "77.00" cash they wanted to workHe then went through the house and put down sticky traps and "Advion"I can buy advion on amazon for $I paid Orkin because Advion isnt workingWhen they didnt show up the next month I contacted them and they told me they set me up for every other month visitsWhich is not what I was told on day one but whateverHere we are in December....Noone shows up, noone callsThe Roach problem has now grown out of controlWhat could have been a small problem is now destroying my $computer mother board an

I filed a complaint against the Cincinnati Orkin location back earlier this year, complaining that we were being billed for services not rendered, even though I had on multiple dates talked with "***"
in their office to have a service appt or have *** their branch manager call me I found out that *** does not relay my messages for service or the branch manager and instead falsely bills consumers for services not rendered
I talked with*** the past October and he offered not to bill us for the missed October service I after the fact confirmed this billing issue with "***" who is very combative and simply "mean" (we have used this service with Orkin for nearly years without incident until we had to begin dealing with "***")
I just talked with "***" today and got screamed at after I asked to speak with *** about getting billed for the October service he promised us we would not be charged Clearly "***" is not well managed and should not be involved in

Repeatedly have tried to resolve issue with local Orkin branch Keep saying it will be taken care of
On 05/13/I received a knock at the door It was a couple of guys working for Orkin and they wanted to spray the inside and outside of my house I told them normally I take care of this myself, but that I would let them do it once I told them I do not want autopay, and it is stated that way on yellow copy I received
On 05/18/I was debited $for the service On 06/19/I received a bill for $ I called and said I did not need their services and I would take care of spraying my house I was billed because they wanted to keep coming every couple of months I received several more bills and I received a bill dating 08/21/saying I owed $ Called again and told them I wasn't responsible for this since I did not have services performed
Also received a FINAL DEMAND letter from the Rollins service bureau dated 10/13/for $ Cal

I am being harassed by the Home Team Pest Defense companyI notified Home Team Pest Defense company in August of that we would not renew our Termite Warranty service and that we had decided to go with a different companyAfter this we began receiving threatening, harassing phone calls from Home Team Pest Defense telling my wife and I we were risking $billion in property damage and that they would come and "rip out" things in our home and yard if we did not renew with themEach time we were contacted I told them we were not interested in renewing and had chosen a different company for this serviceOn 10/31/we received a letter from Home Team Pest Defense stating our Termite Warranty had ended and they would be coming to remove stations in our homeOn 10/31/I called Home Team Pest Defense and told them to stop with the harassing phone calls and stop all communication with us and reminded them we had chosen a different company for this serviceI also informed them no on

I have repeatedly complained about the service tech being sent to my home without any appropriate resolution from the company
Absolute worst business I have EVER had to deal with in my life...unprofessional, rude, discourteousEvery time I call the information gets "lost"The service tech for the Lawrence area, ***, NEVER calls before he comes to my houseHe called prior to his very first visit but beyond that, he just shows upI have spoke with *** *** different times about this now and when *** came to my home for a terminate inspection, he called his supervisor on my behalf right in front of meI hae updated my phone # over and over again, and again this morning, they insisted they did not have the correct #*** blamed it on *** and *** blamed it on ***I have literally had *** walk into my house when I was coming out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel after getting out of the shower and when I called to complain had *** *** tell me that I sh

I called Orkin to eliminate rats in my homeThey came to my home and did some work to eliminate the pests,and told me there were would be a follow up visit within "a couple of days"In the meantime there are still rats in my house and they are multiplyingI hear and see rats in my home dailyI called on March to ask about follow up work and was told I would get a call, which hasn`t happenedAlso, the salesperson who was in my home asked me to sign my name on his phone which had a darkened screen so I couldn`t see what I was signingHe said that documents would be emailed to me but they have not been and I don`t know what I signedAdditionally I was told the charge would be dollars but the work done has not been worth nearly that much moneyOrkin has not performed the service agreed to and did not deal in good faith in asking me to sign something that I couldn`t verify and has not provided a level of service that is worth the amount they expect me to pay

(*** *** Service Mgr spoke with me, agreed to a credit of which I have in an email
Still waiting for check)
My complaint involves a lack of service....no show to appt., mimimal to no spraying for last visits which caused a return of silverfish, mice, beetlesI found a dead mouse the day before a scheduled visit and called the 1-# at am to ensure the tech was prepared for the 4pm visitHe showed on 6/10/and told me he was not notified and was very disrespectful in his response to me as if he could have cared less and told me he had no foam in his truck and wasnt prepared to look for mice and asked I make another appt'to plug up the holes' and stated he had to 'get to his granddaughter's soccer game'While in my basement he broke a large Asian vase, I heard a crash and heard him say, 'uh oh!' I went to basement and found the broken vase he told me he brokeHe told me he saw mice holes
No spraying was done on this visit either and as usual the technician ***

Wild life technician said it was a serious infestation of mice in the home and that the smell was from mouse urineNever looked in attic
Was told we needed a 3-month mice program for $and Orkin called back to say that after speaking with *** ***, technician, the mouse problem was so bad that they would have to charge us an additional $for the 3-mth mouse programMy husband cut a hole in the wall at the back of fridge, found the dead squirrel, cleaned up, stench goneHusband went in the attic, saw a squirrel, no mouse droppings whatsoever
