Our Monroe, Louisiana, branch recently showed some love for their home state, proudly known as The Boot. As part of Love the Boot, a statewide initiative focused on litter removal and community beautification, teammates rolled up their sleeves for a cleanup near their branch. To date, the organization has helped remove more than 500 tons of litter across all 64 parishes in Louisiana. Orkin is always proud to show off and appreciate our team members making a difference where they live and work, and taking pride in their communities.
Mosquitoes Don’t Deserve a Drop is back! This signature Orkin campaign has a powerful purpose: helping protect communities from mosquito-related public health threats while ensuring patients in need have access to a safe, reliable blood supply. This year, the Los Angeles area will kick off our first blood drive on May 5, with additional drives planned in Atlanta, Denver, Cleveland, Dallas and Knoxville. Since 2020, Orkin has donated more than $1.1 million to the American Red Cross. It's proof that when our teams come together, we can make a truly lifesaving impact.
While working in Silsbee, Texas, Orkin Pro David Parker stopped for gas and noticed an elderly woman who had fallen face‑first onto the concrete and was seriously injured. Without hesitation, David stepped in — grabbing a first aid kit, asking someone nearby to call 911, and staying with her to apply a trauma pad and share critical details with the operator until help arrived. Before leaving, he also took time to explain the situation to the woman’s husband, offering reassurance during a stressful moment. Moments like these define who we are. Orkin Pros like David lead with integrity, compassion, and care. And that’s exactly why our customers and communities trust Orkin.
Orkin made a surprise appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! And it was the kind of moment that shows what makes our culture special. During a March Madness segment featuring uniquely named players, University of West Alabama’s Amillion Buggs joined virtually. Live on air, we surprised him with an NIL sponsorship, because when your last name is “Buggs,” the partnership just writes itself. It was fun, fast‑moving, and full of personality, which is exactly how we like to work. We’ll be teaming up with Amillion on content in the coming months, and our teams are excited to bring this creative project to life. If you’re looking for a company that embraces creativity, celebrates big moments, and isn’t afraid to have fun, check out Orkin's opportunities.
We want to give a special shoutout to an Orkin superstar, Michael H., for going above and beyond in a moment that truly mattered. Back in January, Michael noticed an 85‑year‑old man who had become lost while trying to pick up his grandchildren. The man’s family had no idea where he was. Michael immediately stepped in by stopping to help, contacting the family, and guiding them to their missing loved one. His family later shared: “Mike’s actions demonstrate that humanity and compassion still exist, even when most people seem too busy to help a stranger. I hope Orkin recognizes that his behavior reflects not only his character but also the values of your company. One act of kindness can leave a lasting impression, and Mike exemplifies that perfectly.” We couldn’t agree more. We’re incredibly proud to have teammates like Michael who reflect the very best of Orkin every day.
Branch 437 in San Jose, California, is a great example of what Orkin’s Empathy value looks like in action. The team recently volunteered with Sacred Heart Community Service, giving their time and energy to support families across the local community. Through their efforts, volunteers helped provide food, clothing, and essential services to people who need them most. It’s inspiring to see teammates come together to make such a meaningful difference — and a reminder of the impact we can all have when we step up for our communities. #OrkinServes125

After a winter storm in Texas left roads icy and temperatures dangerously low, Ben encountered an emergency while out on his route. A man named John had slipped on the ice, suffering a severe spinal injury that left him unable to move. John lay on the cold ground for nearly 45 minutes before Ben, a complete stranger, stopped to help. John’s wife later shared the experience online, expressing gratitude for Ben’s quick action during an incredibly frightening moment and crediting him with being there when her family needed help most. Ben’s response reflects the character, compassion, and commitment to safety that define our teams. It is a powerful example of Orkin’s Safety Ethos in action and the kind of people who make our organization strong.
