I had a flea infestation that started in my backyard garden but spread to inside my home. My wife and daughter were miserable due to the many flea bites they were getting and their strong reaction to the bites. I got multiple estimates from pest control companies. Robert's quote was by far the lowest, which originally made me a little skeptical. He explained to me that his business doesn't have much overhead so he can keep his prices low. I was still a bit skeptical, but decided to hire him. I wanted someone to come out quickly. Robert was able to squeeze me in the day after I called, which is another reason I hired him. He did a thorough job both inside and outside my home. However, two days after the treatment, I was still finding fleas in the garden and inside. I messaged Robert and he agreed to come out to do a follow up. It took longer than I would have liked, but he eventually did the follow up treatment and since then my garden and house seem to be flea free. If I have one criticism, it's only that Robert was sometimes slow in responding (especially for the follow up treatment). But, as he doesn't have an office staff, it's understandable that he can't always respond immediately. The key thing is that he did come out to do the follow up and the follow up proved to be very effective. Overall, I'm happy with the work and the cost. read more

On Saturday at 9:30 pm my husband and I were enjoying a relaxing evening until we saw a RAT standing in our living room staring at us. We tried to corral him out the front door but he was too spooked and we were too! I left a message for Rob at Olde Towne Termite and Pest Control. He called me right back and assured me he would be out first thing in the morning. As promised Rob came out and lucky for us we found the critter in our laundry room. Rob went into action set traps, closed the laundry room door and sealed the space under the door to prevent escape. He told us that we would hear movement in the room, and when that stopped, there would be a good possibility that the rat was caught. A few hours later he came back to inspect and collected the rat and the traps. Rob's price was fair and his service was excellent! Rob also checked our home for possible rat entry ways. read more

Definitely seems like a nice guy , but a flake . I've read a lot of these reviews on his company, and the 2 and 3 star reviews seem to be accurate. Not sure why I was getting poor service from this company . I paid him his start up fee of 140 for first treatment. After that it was a challenge getting him to come back . He doesn't show up for his scheduled appointment, called and left a message, no response. Finally when I did get a hold of him he did show up , but the next time he again flaked on his scheduled appointment. I tried using a small company instead of a larger company , but this is the service I received. I found out my neighbor also used him and they paid up Front for a year and had a hard time getting h this guy to show up for his monthly appointments . read more

No show on agreed schedule, waste of valuable time. Respond a day after appointment date

I had Rob come out last summer to take care of my ant infestation. He also found black widow spiders. The ants started to come back so I called him again. I like this company as they use natural compounds. I have pets so I don't have to worry that they will not get sick. He charged me $99 to spray inside & out. So worth it for my peace of mind (no black widows) & also those pesky ants. Highly recommend!!! I will continue to use this company. read more

I always like to work with local businesses in Orange. Tried out Old Towne Pest to earn my business. Rob did a great job in understanding my needs and budget. Communication via text with Rob was great and he showed up on time as promised and his service was great. I will use them again in the future. read more

Rob was great with getting the work done with his team. Got rid of our termite problems quickly. It rained so that made the job a little delayed but he was prompt. Would recommend! read more

Just want to say the owner Rob provides a great service, efficient, honest, does what needs to be done at a reasonable price I would definitely use him again. read more

I had posted on Facebook desperate looking for someone to go to my dads to take care of a bee hive. My dad is older and has mobility issues and is deathly allergic to bees so it was more urgent to get it taken care of. Robert reached out and said he could be there the next morning when other people stated it could be days. He came the next morning and took care of the problem! Appreciate him so much. Thanks again! read more

I've used other termite companies in the past and could not find anyone good. I always felt that I was being overcharged for services I did not need. I found Old Towne last year and Rob is the best. He is knowledgeable, honest, and reasonably priced. I also used his pest control service last year and will continue with their services. read more

We highly recommend this company for any termite or pest control issues. We had no knowledge about our bees situation. But Rob was very honest with his assessment. We trusted his expertise and situation was resolved. Thank you Rob for being honest. Your awesome. read more

I'm working with Robert now. He is tireless. He works all hours. Once you are on his list though he will get it taken care of.

I've seen some of the other reviews regarding communication issues. I didn't experience any of those issues. I also understand generally understand the nature of house call visits and scheduling, so if people have a hard cut off time rather than work within a time window, it's usually best to communicate that up front. I contacted Rob through his chat feature on his site in the evening. He responded within about 30 minutes with up front pricing, options, etc. and called me shortly after. He came next day and was able to do the job quickly. He gave adequite information about the product he was applying. He gave fair recommendations on how to treat pests, unlike the big names that lead and push the most expensive plans. In general just seemed like a solid, honest, hard working guy. read more

Rob and Austin are awesome! We had another pest control service for years that just wasn't working. After Austin came out the first initial visit- we have noticed a huge difference! Also- I love that they use all natural products and NO chemical crap! The house and outside smells so nice and fresh after they leave! read more

Old Towne Termite & Pest Control is much much better than the competitors. I called five companies and Old Towne was able to schedule an appointment much sooner (same day morning instead of next day afternoon), provides a longer guarantee (45 days vs 30 days), and literally charges almost three times less, yet is better in every way and extremely extremely thorough. read more

Our neighborhood attracts hornets and I didn't realize for quite some time that a hornet nest started right above our courtyard patio connecting our house to our garage. I noticed one morning 3 flying from our second story window and finally looked up to see a huge nest. With a newborn in the house, we called for quotes and wanted someone to come out immediately to remove it. I reached out to Robert around 6 PM on a Saturday night and he got back to me quickly and ended up coming the next morning. He was informative, quick and efficient. I appreciate him so much for being flexible and fitting us into his schedule for the next day. So grateful! read more

I want to give a big shout out to Robert at Old Towne Termite and Pest Control I contacted him in regard to our bee issue and had scheduled him to come out this am.. I walked out this am and the 1000's of bees and their hive was gone. I called Robert to thank him thought he had completed the project but he said he stopped by this am to no hive or bees. He was was very professional and patient in explaining to me that the bees nature is to stay and move on to another location as he had told me previously. They took there hive with them...your a life saver and my family and neighbors will be happy!!!! Thank you Robert! read more

I reserve 5 star reviews for businesses that really deserve and have earned such acclaim. Rob is the real deal. His free inspection was far more detailed than a competitor with a 2 man crew just hours prior. Rob took the time to educate about the types of termites as well as the industry. I feel more comfortable and knowledgeable after his consultation and treatment. Transparency is not easy to sell and Rob provided peace of mind which I appreciate. His rates are competitive as a small business technician with little to no overhead such as a stand alone retail spaces. I will definitely continue to recommend and use Rob for any future termite problems. read more

Rob and his crew were excellent. He came out quickly and was able to have his crew perform the needed repairs to our home due to years of termite damage that went uncontrolled. The price was by far the lowest of the bids I received. So glad I called Old Towne! read more

Got tired of dealing with ants and spiders. We were referred to Old Towne Térmite - honest team that will do the job and not rip me off. They were on time, quick inspection, very informative and explained what they were going to do to treat the pest. Indoor and out door. Took about and hour and they were done. read more

Poor communication. Really thought we found a good pest control company. Did a great job on the initial expensive visit but then it was like pulling teeth trying to get him back out for the monthly service we signed up for. I just gave up. Not worth my time to track him down every month to do his job. Now we have to pay another company for the big initial visit and hope they still follow through with the monthly service. read more

Upon receipt of the owner's response trying to shift blame by stating, "We are sorry that you allowed only 20 minutes to perform an inspection", I find it necessary to correct the misstatement. As I noted in the initial review I received the first call from the owner 20 minutes after the 9 am appointment time that he specifically agreed to. I then waited another 10 minutes. When he was more than 30 minutes late, I left to address other needs. It had nothing to do with me "only allow[ing] 20 minutes". When someone (particularly someone seeking your business and hard-earned money) tells you they will show up at 9 am and do not tell you there is a window and they are not there by 9:30, I think it is fair to call it off and not waste more of my time or give them business for their tardiness. I found someone else who could do what they committed to do. You can too. I changed my rating from two stars to one because the owner's misstatements and the below is from the Yelp email exchange I had with him immediately after the incident that shows he knew when he posted they were misstatements and went forward in trying to blame others nonetheless. You judge for yourself. The below is written by the owner on 2/2/21: Upon same above mentioned conversation you asked how long the inspection took and per your asking I informed you 30-45 minutes. I called as a courtesy at 910am to let you know I was on way and I would be there in 10 minutes you cancelled as I pulled up.If you didn't have the 30 to 45 minutes you could have cancelled when I texted to begin with. I apologize that you heard I would be there at 9 sharp but unfortunately it doesn't work like that and to write review based on no inspection, no work being done it just goes to show you how instant gratification society has become. So we apologize we are not a McDonald's of the industry , we cater people with patience, understanding and someone that allows the amount of time described in initial conversation. 9-10 arrival time Text on way 910 Arrival 920 Cancelled 920 After knowing it takes more then 30 minutes for inspection. Thanks Rob Doughty 2/2/2021, 8:25 PM My response to the owner's above email: It was your decision to agree to 9 am. You could have been clear and stated that 9 am didn't mean 9 am to you, but meant something else. But you failed to do so. Rather I guess I should have divined 9 am means something else. I guess in this entitled world we live in I should be able to read minds. Going forward rather than complain you can help yourself by just being clear. Further, your email is not even correct as we never spoken. So accuracy would be something to strive for too. read more

We have used Old Towne Termite and Pest Control for several years now. Rob is so professional and knowledgeable for all aspects of pest control and treating termites. I appreciate his quick response when I call or text him and we have been extremely satisfied with his service. He goes above and beyond to make sure we are free of pests. He uses all safe materials and they even smell nice. I would highly recommend using Old Towne Termite and Pest Control. He is the best around!! read more

So glad that I called Old Towne Termite and Pest Control for my termite issue. I had got quotes from a couple of other companies but they were either incomplete(meaning they wouldn't do ALL the work) or they were overpriced. Rob came out quickly to inspect my house, he answered all of my questions honestly and told me exactly what his team would do. When his team arrived to do the work, they were on time, courteous and neat. If if ever have any other needs for pest control, Old Towne will be my only call. I highly recommend Rob and his team at Old Town Termite and Pest Control. read more

This is an updated review. The owner, Rob, tested positive for covid so he self quarantined. Unfortunately, I didn't know and I wasn't able to get in touch with him during that time, so I left a bad review thinking he didn't honor his 30 day warranty for his treatment of roaches. After leaving the review he got a hold of me and explained the situation, so we set a time once he felt better to spray the house again. He set up traps and sprayed thoroughly and gave me a new 30 day warranty. Overall I would recommend. read more

Rob and Gabriel did an excellent work. Rob, the owner, was very thorough in explaining the chemicals he's using for our crawl space/attic/and I believe he also sprayed some on the fence that looked infected with termites. I appreciate that he is honest in a way that he won't try to upsell extra services to you. it's always refreshing to find people you can trust here on yelp, and Rob is definitely one of them! And his carpentry guy Gabriel, was awesome too :) - he changed some fascia boards that had termite damage but he accidentally did "extra work" on our shed and Rob didn't charge me for it because it wasn't part of the contract. I offered to pay because It was a lot of work and gabriel did a great job on it, but rob insisted it wasn't part of the contract and he won't charge me for it. Wow... Thanks again Rob! read more

Very good if your able to get ahold of someone...no major complaints other than getting a response.

Robert responded very quickly. He was up front with his fee and availability. We made an appointment for the next day. He explained his materials assuring they were all natural, not harmful to people or pets but effective. He offered a few options for service, I chose monthly,he explained that could change at any time. I had ants and fleas both inside and out, he sprayed all areas of my home and yard. I have not seen another ant but still had a few tiny fleas, I gave him a call and he came the next day and repeated the process. He super guy that you will like immediately. read more

This is a great mom and pop local business! Excellent service, great price, and super timely. They were the best local quote we received and the services was very detail oriented. I'd highly recommend Old Towne Pest Control. read more

So I needed a pest inspection and Robert agreed to come the same day as the general inspector. He actually forgets the appt, so we had to wait a couple hours for him to get there. The floorboard underneath the sink had dry rot, so he's like this isn't as a result of termites, but I need to report it anyway to blah blah. He then offered to fix it and said what I paid for the termite inspection would be counted toward the repair. Cool. I close on my place and he follows up to see if I need the work done, I say I'll let him know if the seller agrees to fix it. the seller wound up giving me a credit so I hit him up. He has coronavirus and said he'll get back to me once he's better. A couple weeks go by and he gets back to me, I ask what the price is, he's says $300 and I respond, so $300-125, great...when are you free. Crickets. I follow up again, radio silence. Honestly, why offer if you had no intention on following through. I can't speak to his ability to eradicate pest, cause his inspection took all of 10 mins, but this is bad business practice. If you offer something, stand by it. read more

My initial request for service on a Sunday was great. I had an ant issue and Rob sprayed inside and out. Two days later the ants were back. When I talked with him he said that it was not unusual for that to happen. All was good for two weeks and then I was inundated again with the ants. I tried several times to call and all I got was voicemail. Left a message, but no return call. Also sent an email with no response from that either. I'm feeling like I wasted my money - big time!! read more

Rob really helped me out treating bed bugs in a unit at our apartment building. Very professional knowledgeable about the process. I wouldn't hesitate to use Old Towne Pest Control again! read more

Rob really helped us out. We have a new born and fleas! I was getting eaten alive and he sprayed with an all natural solution that was safe for the baby and we did not have to leave. On top of that got ride of our wasp problem. He made great suggestions and explained everything. We ended up choosing the bi-monthly plan. Thanks Rob! read more

Absolutely amazing customer care and service! These guys are experienced and know what they're doing. They saved us from having to spend Christmas with a Rat that had made itself a home. We tried a different service first, but we should have gone straight to Old Towne Termite and Pest Control. They gave us the best Christmas present we could ask for. Hands down the best experience ever. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! read more

Old Towne Termite and Pest Control delivered great service. They were on time, clean and friendly. Very easy to work with and very professional. I highly recommend them for any of your termite or pest issues. read more

Can't rate his work because he didn't show up twice. Should have listen to the bad reviews. First time he was running 2 hours late and my tenant had to leave. No problem stuff happens. A no show the second time blamed it on indigenous day didn't know what day of the week it was. PASS!!!!!!!!!!! read more

After 2 weeks found another cockroach in an upstairs room. I called Rob and he came out the next day and sprayed everywhere again. There was no charge it was part of the 45-day guarantee which I really appreciated. The original problem area the kitchen has been bug-free since the first treatment. read more

Rob was great to work with. We found termite damage in our home, and called him for an inspection and quote. He spent lots of time answering all of my questions and even came back to go over the details with my husband before starting work. He went above and beyond to make sure our house was well taken care of. His price was also very competitive. We definitely recommend him to others. read more

Rob saved my butt. I had a rat die in my attic and the smell was killing us. He was able to get up there same day and clean it out. The house smells great once again. Great company great service. read more

First let me start off by saying Robert is a very personable and knowledgeable guy. He explains everything he is doing down to all the chemicals he uses. It shows that he really loves his job and the comfort it provides people. Now let's get to the actual work. I'm used to companies only providing sprays for one type of roach in their services. But Robert sprays for German and American, along with other insects like spiders, swordfishes, and etc. all in one package. And it's very effective with a great and affordable price. He takes his time and is very thorough. I had him even spray my investment condo as well after the first guy who came didn't do a good job at all. read more
