I called and manager refused to call me back, after 10 attempts and speaking to 10 different very nice ladies. At last After my last attempt he decides to call my son a 20 year and talked inappropriately to him advising him again that they will not honor the contract. I called again frustrated about the lack of calling me back an adult that signed the contract to deal with. But Brian only is man enough to deal with kids. I will be reporting him to corporate with no regards to how to deal with kids or honoring a contract... who is JOKER making his own rules. Never do business with Orkin my goal is make sure I make as many as can aware. Going to post this on every possible outlet. Kids are not in good hands with Brian Alexander at ORKIN SC.

I had to wait 5 minutes to finally speak to a REAL person, that was a bit of an issue but not my complaint. The woman who took my info transferred me to another employee. His name was Matt. After explaining the pest issue he asked me to send the pics I had of the insects that were my concern. He provided me another number and said he would look at the pics and get back to me. More than 24 hours and still nothing. Very upsetting no response. And he reviewed the phone number to call, it was correct. I'm guessing this company doesn't need the business!!

We have been a customer with Cavanaugh since 2005. We did the termite treatment on the perimeter of…read moreour house to prevent termites coming from our neighbor's house which had a severe termite issue. Since then, we have the annual termite inspection contract with "Cavanaugh Termite and Pest Service". Cavanaugh has been displaying its utmost professional standard since 2005 until this year (2020). Our annual termite contract expires on May 31 every year. Cavanaugh sends out the contract renewal two months prior to the expiration date. We always schedule the termite inspection on the last Saturday of May for the 8~12pm appointment immediately receiving the renewal notice. The inspection time lasts about 20 minutes. The inspector walks down to the basement and checks the house perimeter, then check out the garage and outside of the house perimeter. Once the examination is done, the inspector writes done "No termite activities found on the house" on a company's worksheet and accepts payment on the spot, then gives us back the worksheet with the payment paid-in-full receipt. Every year has been the same routine without fail until this year. A series of mistakes made by Cavanaugh's internal problems from the appointment to the final billing greatly inconvenienced us and caused us the loss of precious time solving their mistakes are one thing; Cavanaugh's staff lacking professionalism manner to resolve their own mistake is unforgivable. Here is the detail: We scheduled the inspection appointment as usual on the last Saturday of May, between 8~12PM. Due to the coronavirus, we called Cavanaugh two weeks prior to the inspection date to make sure the inspection would still be on. And then two days prior to the inspection, we called them again to make sure that the inspector who is coming will be wearing a mask and shoe covers before entering into the house, and the appointment time is also confirmed during that phone call. On the inspection day, we waited for the whole morning until 12 pm. We called Cavanaugh to find out why was no one showed up? Mr. Tiff answered the phone and apologized to us that there was no indication that we were scheduled on that date. He immediately called East Brunswick division and scheduled to send an inspector over no later than 1:45 pm. No one called nor came until 2:38 pm. The inspection lasted until 2:55 pm. Due to CoVid-19, there was no paperwork to write and show that "no termite's activities were found from inspecting interior and exterior of the premise" nor did we get a pay-in-full receipt after we gave the inspector our credit card information to input to his iPad. He said that he would send that worksheet and payment receipt to my email address. So he left without giving us any evidence of the inspection. Four days later, on June 3, we were still waiting for the worksheet with our payment receipt. I called Cavanaugh and spoke with Kristen to find out where was the email that shows our inspection worksheet and payment receipt. She immediately sent over a totally BLANK invoice (without company printed logos) with nothing on it except some strange numbers showing "termite inspection charge" $0.00, tax $6.82, payment & credit $0.00, and total due is $6.82" Not a word about the termite inspection conclusion nor our paid-in-full payment receipt. I emailed her "The receipt you sent still didn't show the correct payment amount nor did it show "No termite was found at the property" detail. Please resend a rectified version!" We went back and force with email replies and went nowhere because she kept replying to me: "The contract is now expired so I cannot state that it has been paid for." And totally ignored what I repeatedly stated in my email clearly "The current display figures in the invoice do not make sense on an invoice. I believe the right amount of dollars figures to be displayed as "termite inspection charge" $103.00, tax $6.82, payment & credit $109.82, and the total due is $0.00. Your invoice does not make any sense nor does it display that I had paid in full of the charge of $109.82." Finally, I had to pick up the phone and talk to her in person. As soon as she knew it was me, she gave out a loud, impatient "Uh" then said, "What can I help you?" I asked her to just send me a paid-in-full receipt to which she had been refused to do and did not tell me the reason in all her emails except "The contract is now expired so I cannot state that it has been paid for". I realized that she assumed we didn't pay for the $109.82 inspection fee. I said, "How could we not pay for the inspection at the end of the service?" She mumbled something like "you don't need to pay when service is done..." that statement greatly confused me, but I had to stop wasting my time to figure out what she was saying or doing in all these. I simply asked her to just send me a payment receipt and I am still waiting for my receipt with a worksheet detail on a proper company logos stationary.

Callahan's Termite & Pest Control Inc

Extremely rude and aggressive behavior over the phone. I will not pay my final $95 bill because…read morethey never came to my house for the scheduled treatments and charged me. They billed for 2 visits in which they never came to my house. When they did show up; the technician simply threw poison packets with blue poison chips inside the house that you can buy in the store. The poison packs later left a huge mess on floor when the mice ate them). Callahan Pest Control then uses Insect Traps with gel inside that you can buy at the store for $5 a box for outdoor treatment. I had mice in my house and they never made an effort to fix the problem of how and where the mice were getting in. All Callahan's Pest Control did was come and dropped rat poison in the house for them to eat which led to a smelly dead mouse in basement. Callahan's Pest Control doesn't address the "real problem" of how the mice are getting in your house in the first place. They did not use glue traps or regular rat traps. I'm going to be reporting them to the Better Business Bureau. You will be better off buying rat poison packets and insect gel packs yourself at the store. Make sure to put the rat poison packets on something that will collect all the poison debris when mice tear into them. Then insect bait traps with gel inside go outside on any ant trails. Or you could call a reputable Pest Control Company that actually uses wire mesh, inspects your gutters and walls for holes, uses sticky traps instead of poison, and actually sprays for pest outside with stuff you can't buy yourself in the store.
