While Orkin's on-the-ground termite treatment is good, all potential customers should know that if you pay for a year's warranty and then sell your house, they will not continue the warranty coverage for the new owners. A manager stated that this was because maybe the new owners would do reno that would change the house, so the warranty would stay with the departing owner. Makes no sense, the termites are in the current house! And it was difficult to get information out of the company; they suddenly went from very professional and quick to respond to vague and 'we'll get back to you' and never did.
I had the new owners ready to pay me the remaining yearly balance to take over the continuing coverage, and had to tell them not to bother; money wasted, for a stupid and illogical reason and a cash grab.
Buyers beware!
