Orkin is a total disaster. Unprofessional, disorganized, and completely useless…read more If I could give zero stars, I would. Orkin Pest Control has been the most frustrating, unprofessional, and unresponsive company I've ever dealt with. We've been paying for monthly service, yet the pest problems continue and the service we're supposed to be getting simply doesn't happen. From the start, things were a mess. When we first set up our account, they sent a technician out for an initial visit. He showed up, greeted us with "What's good?" and immediately came off as unprofessional. We explained we wanted a general inspection around the home and some preventative treatment for insects. He flat-out refused and said they don't do that. I asked, "Then what are you here for?" and he sarcastically pointed at a cobweb and said, "Oh, I see one there." At that point, I asked him to leave because he clearly wasn't taking the job seriously and was acting like an entitled fool. I called to complain, and a manager sent out a different technician and this one was more respectful and gave us his personal business card, saying we could call him directly anytime we had issues. But when we actually did call him, he blew us off and told us there was nothing he could do, and to call the office. Of course, the office doesn't answer or return voicemails. Trying to get a same-day appointment which Orkin advertises as something they offer was a complete joke. I was passed from one customer service rep to another in what felt like a game of musical chairs. Each one would type my info into a system and say someone would call me back. Nobody ever did. To make it worse, one of their main numbers has a recorded message saying, "If this is an emergency, call this number." I called that number, and the person who answered said there's no such thing as an emergency line. So why are you telling customers otherwise? Then, a rodent got caught in one of the traps they placed, and when I called to have someone come remove it, I was told they don't offer that service. So I'm paying for pest control, but I'm expected to deal with the pests myself? On top of all that, they double charged me for a service, and the first rep I spoke to tried to brush it off like it wasn't a big deal. I had to demand a refund before anyone actually did anything about it. That's unacceptable. This company is completely disorganized. The technicians are unreliable, the customer service is useless, and the communication is non-existent. They're happy to take your money every month, but when it comes to actually doing their job, they vanish. Orkin is not worth your time or your money. Save yourself the frustration and go with a company that actually cares about its customers and stands by its service.

I was not home at the time and my wife put me on the phone with the tech who apologized and said "you were probably sent a confirmation via text or email. It looks like it's been a busy week for you though so no worries if you missed it". I did not, in fact, miss any confirmation, since none was sent. When I called Cowleys to inquire what happened, they said they don't actually confirm these visits - they just show up?? But then why would you knock on my door if you don't need anyone to be present? This is WILDLY unprofessional behavior - not just showing up unannounced with chemicals in a home with a newborn, but then trying to gaslight me for your lack of communication. The entire phone call felt like the rep was annoyed at me and she did absolutely nothing to help beyond adding me to a "list" where they would notify me to confirm future visits. I've received confirmation from them in the past, so I don't know what happened on their end, but I cancelled my service with the rep immediately. What a waste of money this whole ordeal was. I DO NOT recommend these people at all.

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.

Let's talk about my experience using Chelsea Pet Control for bedbugs…read more Let me just say, Yelp helped me find this pest control company after deserpately searching for someone to take me right away. After several different chats, Chelsea Pet control accommodated me right away and saw me briefly after. We had an exterminator come over and spray the first two times, but the issue still did not seem to go away. Although he was extremely friendly and we loved his personality and kindness, we knew we needed a more advanced technician. We were not satisfied yet, there was definitely a lot of questions left unanswered. I messaged Chelsea Pest Control to request another technician to have another look themselves and see if someone else can figure it out, and then they sent over Sammy. In a matter of MINUTES, Sammy was able to detect the problem and what was causing this infestation! He was confident and diligent, not afraid to get his hands dirty. You can tell he works hard and is extremely determined to finding a solution NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES. He took the extra time to spray our apartment extra, give us a clear explanation on how to stop it, and answered all my questions and concerns confidently and patiently. Sammy was the technician I needed this whole time to solve all of my problems. We could have not done it without him! We were located in Jersey and Sammy went above and beyond to help us out and come see what was going on, regardless the distance. Will definitely come back to him if this issue occurs!
