I called Terminix whos tech made me feel like I was going to get fleeced, then I called Orkin who would send someone in, in a few days. I also called Jerry at Buckingham as they do other work for me. Jerry was by far the most honest, he did say that the prices being quoted by Terminix and Orkin were all in the ballpark, but he is the only one who offered another option for us at the time to check and see if there was a problem, as no-one could see signs of activity, but the "big two" wanted to go all out. It may be you have termites, and I would suggest that you get a couple of quotes, but I know that if we DID have a problem, we would go with Jerry. I would also suggest Orkin over Terminix as I preferred the atttuide etc of the Orkin rep..   taam Citizen Username: Taam Post Number: 179 Registered: 1-2006 Posted on Saturday, April 29, 2006 - 1:30 pm:        we've already called buck. pest, but am looking for additional estimates. thanks so much!
