We Know Our Stuff.

At Orkin, we have invested millions to develop award-winning training programs that extend well beyond the classroom.

Technician Training

A key factor in our continued training success is our combined use of advanced technology and systems including Orkin TV, podcast technology, Rollins University’s on-site learning, and a comprehensive certification program.

Our Training Facility

Rollins University is a 30,000-square-foot learning center in Atlanta. The one-of-a-kind facility contains several simulated customer environments such as a dining area, bar, commercial kitchen, bakery, hospital room, hotel room and a 2,100-square-foot house.

Training Certification

Each Orkin commercial pest specialist is trained in Orkin’s award-winning certification program that includes credited class work from Purdue University, treatment techniques, and special pest or industry-specific training (if needed).
Community
Going Beyond A Service Call

At Orkin we believe that everyone deserves a safe place to live work and play. We are committed to community involvement and here are just a few ways we’ve helped.

Orkin Serves

Orkin held a competition which rewarded the branches with the highest customer service scores. These rewards ranged from$100 to $3,000 for the branch to use for hosting a branch function, gifts for the team members or for equipment to be used for the branch. The Augusta, Georgia branch shown in the photo to the left won $1,180 in the contest but instead of using it for themselves, they chose to donate the money to the local Ronald McDonald house. Just another example of Orkin employees giving back to the communities they serve.

Orkin School Presentations

Since the 1950’s Orkin men and women have shared their insect knowledge with students around the country. The tradition continues today with the Orkin Technician School Presentation program, which pairs science classes with a local Orkin Technician for a hands-on experience. In the picture to the left Ken Reid, a route manager in Charlotte, North Carolina takes a photo after presenting to a group of students. “I really enjoy talking to the kids”, said Ken. “Bugs are not creepy when you teach kids about the insect’s behavior and biology.”

O. Orkin Insect Zoo

As part of our commitment to education, Orkin is proud to sponsor the O. Orkin Insect Zoo, located inside the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History. Our multiyear partnership with the Smithsonian demonstrates the high level of trust and respect people have for our company and our people. Through this exhibit, the first sole corporate sponsorship of a Smithsonian exhibit, millions are discovering the important role insects play in our environment and the interdependent love/hate relationship that exists between bugs and people.
