ORKIN Pesky Services


During this time of year , people have asked me about who to call for termite problems. I have always answered them with , " Don't call ORKIN." Here's why -

ORKIN has the best warranty in the business. However , there is no difference between having ORKIN's warranty and having State Farm Insurance. Both are worthless pieces of paper.
ORKIN's sales people DO place dead bugs in places , for you to find , so you will think they have done their job. Yep , I've seen them do it.
ORKIN will double charge you for the same services. Yep , you see , the sales rep is on a commission. Watch him , while he " works " the figures on paper. You will see he is actually re tracing the same numbers , over and over. In other words , he is'nt doing you any favors.
ORKIN is known for spilling water on the ground , so you will think chemical has been placed there.
This is the time of year , the Better Business Bureau , is drowning in complaints , regarding ORKIN. About the only thing you can do for yourself , is to with hold paying them , until the contracted work is done. Yep , you have to watch them. If you don't , you will be next on their hit parade.

So , what's the best course of action , in dealing with ORKIN ? Just don't call them in the first place. There are other pest control people , who would gladly do you a good job , per the contract.

Comments:
I don't like dealing with big corporate names like the Orkins of the world.... is there a reliable company in our area who will do what they say they do and do it well?
