My mother has a lung disease and is on oxygen. Her dogs picked up fleas, so I called Orkin. They scheduled a date and time over the phone. We put the 3 dogs in a kennel at $50 each for overnight. Orkin never showed up. We called and they NEVER scheduled it!!! Had them send an emergency guy out that day. I take a day off work to drive her around on oxygen tanks. I told Orkin about this. The Orkin guy sprayed. We came back four hours later. Still found fleas bouncing around. Called Orkin back and told them to respray for free. Second apppointment came around four days later... NO SHOW!!! They Never scheduled it again. WTF??? We have the dogs boarded in a kennel again, another $150 down the drain. Orkin Sucks! My mother has a lung disease and is on oxygen.

They continue to bill me (on my visa) even though they no longer do service. The story with Orkin gets even worse. They continue to bill me (on my visa) even though they no longer do service.

Their business model is basically 80% sales and 20% service. They know if you tell people you're the greatest bug killer in the world...eventually the majority will believe it.

Yes, you are in on the shirt, but you have to wear it when we go out to some unmentionable place to be named at a later date. At least to the Bulldog so we can sip a nice Hoegarden. I ordered a cropped mesh shirt special for you and Jess. Steve you must cherish these shirts ;), although its not a bad thing.

You should have grabbed one of those orange Home Depot pails and hurled it at him. That would have gotten his attention! As far as communication goes, the new generation relies way too much on voicemail, email and cell phones. You have to really wonder what the business world was like back before all of todays technology. Before Gordan Gecko was on the beach talking to Bud Fox with his cinder-block looking mobile phone... How did these people actually function? Do you remember when you actually ate at nice restaurant without hearing a symphonic version of "It's Raining Men"? What a wonderful world it must have been. D,
