    I called the 800# listed on here last night since they’re open 24hrs. I spoke with a woman named Lacy and she gave me a quote over the phone and asked if I wanted to move forward. However, I asked for the quote to be emailed so I can review it in writing before making a long term commitment. As a real estate agent who used to be an insurance agent and worked at the bank for several years. A written agreement is everything. Because nothing matters what they say verbally on the phone, what matters is what’s in writing. You can say on the phone rodents and pests are included but learn 6 months later a certain type of insect is not covered and you had no idea. Who’s to blame then? She refused to give me anything in writing said it wasn’t possible. I told her I can’t commit if I can’t read and review what’s all covered in the quote so she set up an appointment for an inspection TODAY between 12-2 pm. NO ONE SHOWED UP CALLED OR TEXTED. Looks like we’ll be going with someone else with better customer service and transparency!

    Everything was great. The only thing is the technician who was servicing my bathroom, broke my blinds. He admitted to doing it, but now I have to replace them. I think my service was overly priced considering the work that was done

Company Background

About Orkin

Orkin is the best known name in American pest control, and the company says it has more than 125 years in the business. Houston has several Orkin branches. This listing is branch 769, which works out of Suite 120 at 1420 North Sam Houston Parkway East in north Houston, near Bush Intercontinental Airport. Its branch page names Jonathan Tremblay as local branch manager and lists the area it covers, from north Houston out to Humble, Kingwood, Huffman, New Caney and Porter.

The branch handles nearly every residential pest. For termites, Orkin offers the Sentricon bait system, liquid barrier treatments and dry foam for termites working inside wall voids. It also treats drywood termites and does fumigation, which matters in older Houston neighborhoods where drywood colonies live in attic framing and trim. The service list also includes rodent control, mosquito service, bed bug treatment based on the insect's life cycle, wildlife and bird control, carpenter ants, fleas, flies, ticks and stinging insects. Orkin can also install attic insulation.

Orkin says most Houston customers can get same day or next day service, and it suggests calling before noon for a same day visit. The phone line is answered 24 hours a day, and Google lists the branch as open around the clock. The branch email is Branch769@orkin.com.

Orkin offers a 30 day money back guarantee with free touch up visits between scheduled services. The branch holds 4.9 stars from about 750 Google reviews. The newest reviews praised a thorough termite inspector named Tim and technicians Melissa, Bryan and Richard. The branch page does not print a TDA licence number, so ask for it when you book. Orkin has other Houston area branches, and we picked this one because it was the first Orkin office inside city limits in Google's results.
