Orkin

Orkin, based in Sharon, MA, does pest control. Its website lists a service area that includes Sharon, Attleboro, Boston, Brockton, Fall River and New Bedford, and states an offer of 24/7 emergency service. A 2026 review says the problem was taken care of within 24 hours of the call and an underground yellow jacket nest was eradicated; Troy, Paul and Noelli were called exceptional. In a 2026 review, the technician Matthew showed up right on time, got to work on a hornet nest on the back of the house and got the job done quickly. In a 2026 review, the technician Matt did a thorough job of treating the lawn to address a wasp infestation. In a 2026 review, Paul inspected from the attic to the basement, sprayed the outside perimeter of the house and put down sticky traps and mice traps. In a 2026 review, Lazare found entry spots that had allowed mice into the basement and created a follow-up plan. A 2026 review says the technician Marisol Galloza discovered a space along the wall near the basement door on a routine service call and plugged it so mice can't get in. A 2026 review says contaminated insulation was cleaned out where squirrels got into a knee wall attic space, and old insulation was removed and new insulation installed. In a 2024 review, Matt checked an insect box behind a washer during a quarterly inspection and found 2 dead swarming termites; a colony of termites was then found outside the foundation after flipping a couple of pavers. A 2026 review says Orkin repeatedly assigned a technician the customers had asked not to send, and that their service appointments were always rescheduled by Orkin on the day of the service. In a 2026 review, a single mouse in an attic cost over $600 to resolve with copper mesh, and a follow-up visit the customer had not scheduled came with only a text 10 minutes before arrival. A 2026 review says messages left about a contract with this branch about 5 different times got no response. A 2026 review says an email stated a $65.98 credit after a cancellation, and the card was charged $66 the same day. A 2026 review says the customer had been trying to cancel service for over 6 months and continued to be charged. In a 2026 review, a follow-up for ant treatment left without doing the inside work, and the customer was charged. In a 2025 review, a flea appointment set for 2pm to 4pm was dropped over a scheduling error, and the promised call back to reschedule never came.
