Whether you are running one of the largest processing facilities in the world or maintaining your small business' high standards, Orkin can help. But don't take our word for it. Read what our customers have to say about their own partnerships with Orkin.

Since 1906, Spangler Candy Company has manufactured and marketed some of the most notable candy products around, including Dum Dum Pops®, Saf-T-Pops® and Spangler® Candy Canes. Because Spangler must be diligent about food safety and quality, the company turned to Orkin and has been extremely pleased with the switch to Orkin’s Gold Medal Protection.

“The thoroughness that Orkin goes through in their service is unparalleled. I’ve been working around the pest control industry for almost 30 years, and I know what we need. Orkin provides all that, and more.”

When Fruit Growers Supply Company, which supplies cartons to fruit packinghouses in California and Arizona, decided to add AIB audits to their quality assurance program, they knew they would need extensive pest management documentation to meet AIB's strict standards.

“Orkin's electronic monitoring and documentation program is the tool we needed to accurately track our pest management program across seasons, products and numerous areas within our facility. Our perfect pest control score on the AIB audit speaks to the success of our partnership with Orkin.”

GoodHeart became an Orkin Gold Medal Protection customer in 2003. According to Food Safety and Quality Assurance Consultant Jeffrey Bryan, his investment has paid off - with five perfect pest control audit scores and GoodHeart Brands' recognition in 2006 as one of the top 1% of companies audited by Silliker Laboratories.

“...not only am I 100% happy with the Gold Medal program, I am pleased to recommend this program to anyone who takes pest control as seriously as I do. Although I have entertained bids that may be slightly less in monthly service charges, I would never risk losing the confidence I have in my service in exchange for chasing a few dollars.”

Pest control in the meat-processing environment can be a thorny issue. The conventional approach of zapping unwanted critters with a pesticide is the least satisfactory of all solutions. No food plant wants to introduce extraneous chemicals on premises unless absolutely necessary.

“If you don't give pests a reason to be there, they shouldn't come in.”
