When it comes to pest control, it's easy to go wrong. The big companies will send techs who don't…read moreknow the first thing about pest control and couldn't tell an ant from a fly. SPRK is not only honest but their techs are highly experienced and knowledgeable. They took care of a hornet nest for us and they did it right so it never came back. After that experience we signed up for the quarterly pest service with them and never had any more issues. I am always someone who asks a lot of questions and I've genuinely learned a lot about insects and keeping my house pest-free from talking to them. In an industry like pest control you have to know your stuff, and they do.

This is a bit long BUT if you really want a pest control service that's been evaluated over years -…read moreREAD IT! :-) This review is wayyyy overdue. I've had this service since it opened. I primarily started with them because a veteran owns it, then kept them because of the 5 star services they have been providing me for years. My rental home had mice way back in the day, I was living there at the time and my wife was not having it and needed them gone FAST. Scratching in the walls and so on. The home is a 1959 and from what they said in VA this is expected. We have a fire pit and we kept a cord of wood close to the house and that's where they were having the time of their life - until winter that is, then they came in for warmth and food. I called SPRK and the company owner came and evaluated the property himself (not a flash in and out, he was very thorough). He easily located the places that they could enter the home and took care of them. He placed bait stations all around the outside of the home and several inside in key areas. Within 2 - 4 weeks everything was silent. No scratching, nothing in the basement running around, nadda. Happy family! Cut to years later, now it's a rental and we had some not-so-clean folks renting the house and they brought in among other things, you guess it - friggin' roaches. We lived there 9 years and NEVER had a bug besides a spider or an ant here and there. The worst part is they never said anything and we walked into this festering issue when the house was empty. I 911 called SPRK that day and the next day they came out beat the sh*t out of the problem with some great spray treatments and bait stations, hence they eradicated the problem. Since the house is a single family home AND not connected to anyone else the problem was taken care of swiftly. Had it been a row house or town home that could have posed more issues with controlling them. Now I maintain the inside monthly service and the quarterly outside rodent prevention service and everything Is great now (AGAIN). Bottom line is, if you want a PERSONAL pest service that get's the job done, hire them. If you call or email them you will get a person quite promptly. HOWEVER, If you want some huge national franchise pest company that has new people every week and could care less when or if the pest issue is corrected then these folks are not for you. Thanks SPRK!!!

My Family unfortunately brought back bedbugs from a family vacation in June that contaminated our…read moremaster bedroom. The bedbugs were contained to one room, our master bedroom, and we contracted Orkin in Manassas to kill the bedbugs. After 2 full treatments, one month apart, we still have bedbugs. During the 2nd treatment, Orkin performed an inspection and claimed that the bedbugs were dead and we could "return to our normal life." We waited an additional 3 weeks before returning our bedroom to normal and found bedbugs again. This has been going on for nearly 2 months and we have spent over $600.00 in services. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you do not use Orkin services and find a different pest control company who deserves your money. I am requesting a full refund from Orkin for failing and hope that you will make a better choice in pest control services than I did.

But even with that setting, they've helped us get to the point where we really feel like we can have a pest free home. Our main concern was gaps in the basement that were allowing insects to get in, and they were the only company that said they could fill those gaps. They also sprayed the perimeter, and since starting with them, we've seen a huge decrease. They are professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for effective pest control.
