Orkin

Pest control brand

Orkin is an American pest control company, widely recognized for extermination services targeting insects, rodents, and other household pests.

The name functions as shorthand for professional exterminators generally: We had to call Orkin about the termites.

The company's ubiquitous advertising has made it nearly synonymous with the pest control industry in the United States.
