My appointment was at 8 … very rare in the service industry to give an exact time, not a time window. My tech … called and informed me her GPS said she would not arrive until 10 minutes after her appointment time and wanted to know if that was OK? What?? Unheard of in the service industry…
I had ghost ants that I had been battling for quite some time, apparently very ineffectively. [The technician] came in, treated inside and outside barriers. I swear the ghost ants must have jumped in her truck and left with her; I have not seen one since she was here. Thank you, Apex!”

Why Orkin earned sixth place: Orkin earned high marks for its many years of service (over 120 years) but suffered a little in the rankings due to its lower overall rating and slightly larger percentage of one-star reviews.
However, if you’re looking for a company that will treat just about any pest — insect or otherwise — Orkin has you covered.

Why Truly Nolen earned ninth place: Truly Nolen is the third-oldest company on our list and gets high marks for its many years of service and wide range of pests that they treat. A slightly lower overall ranking and a higher percentage of 1-star reviews landed them a little lower on our list.
