What do recent reviews say?

Orkin's Tampa operation wins consistent praise for on-time arrivals, knowledgeable technicians who explain their work step-by-step, and rapid results against active infestations like wasps. Named staff including Dalton, Tracy, and Jordan Kimble earn specific commendation for professionalism and follow-through.

Occasional lapses stand out: one customer reported a technician never entered the home to treat, leaving unclear what was actually done; another noted a driver's inappropriate conduct on the property. Monthly rates mentioned as under $60, though initial treatment pricing varies. For most, the combination of efficiency, staff knowledge, and no aggressive upselling makes this a reliable first choice.

Strong five-star reviews consistently praise specific technicians like Greg, Moises, Damien, and Laila for professionalism, responsiveness, and care. However, recent one and two-star reviews reveal a serious pattern: repeated no-shows despite confirmed appointments, continued billing after multiple cancellation requests, and a customer service process that relies on callback systems rather than direct channels. The core issue is operational. When technicians show up, they deliver. But getting them to show up reliably and canceling service without weeks of phone tag are broken processes. Multiple reviewers report security cameras catching no visit yet receiving bills, suggesting either scheduling chaos or invoicing that runs independent of actual service delivery.

Customers report strong and dependable service, with staff like Zach, Jacob, and Branden specifically called out for being knowledgeable, friendly, and effective. Quarterly treatments keep bug problems rare even in rainy season, and urgent requests get quick appointments. One customer questioned a sudden indoor surcharge after signing up for a flat rate, signaling a potential billing clarity issue. The business keeps detailed notes on each property, explains prevention tips, and handles install work (termite traps). Staff rotate and remain professional across repeat visits. Customers consistently report they rarely see pests indoors and feel confident recommending the company to friends.

Dusty and Joe run a tight operation: texts answered within hours, appointments kept, jobs completed right the first time. People call them back year after year because the technicians know pests inside out, seal entry points properly, and charge fair prices without upselling. They handle termites, rodents, bed bugs, mosquitoes, bees, roaches, and ants across Tampa Bay. Reviewers who've stuck with them for years praise the personal attention small shops offer, and pet owners specifically note the team's care when treating around animals.
