In recognition of Juneteenth, the Orkin Home Office partnered with ArtsXChange, a vibrant multicultural arts center in East Point, Georgia. Founded in 1983 and rooted in the Black Arts Tradition, ArtsXChange has long served as a creative and cultural hub for artists, activists and the surrounding community. Our team was proud to support their mission by refreshing the garden and reorganizing a supply closet to help enhance the space. It’s an honor to give back in ways to celebrate history, community and culture.
The future of pest science starts now! As we celebrate Orkin’s 125th anniversary, we’re not just looking back: we’re investing in what’s next. Introducing the Orkin Insect 2151 Science Fair, an initiative designed to inspire the next generation of insect experts. We’re inviting high school students to explore the world of insects and imagine what the next 125 years of pest science could look like through creativity, innovation, and real research. Students will submit a short project and video (three minutes or less), with the most compelling, evidence‑based ideas rising to the top. And the stakes are big! First place earns $100,000 toward an entomology or science-based degree. Ready to learn more or know a student who should apply? Visit orkininsect2151.com to get started.
At Orkin, going above and beyond isn’t the exception; it’s who we are. We’re proud to recognize Crystal C., an Orkin Customer Contact Center teammate who recently stepped in during a critical moment. Early one morning, she noticed a man in distress in a ditch near a local high school. Without hesitation, Crystal called 911, stayed on the scene to ensure he received help, and followed up to support his family. Because of her compassion and quick action, what could have been a tragic situation had a much better outcome. Stories like this reflect the kind of people you’ll find at Orkin: team members who lead with empathy, take care of others, and make a real difference in their communities. If you’re looking for a place where you can grow your career and make an impact, you’ll fit right in here.
Big congratulations to Orkin’s own Machelle Stockstad! She was recently recognized at the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) Women’s Forum as one of 108 Impact Award honorees. She's also the chair of Orkin's Women's Impact Network. Moments like this reflect more than individual achievement: they highlight the importance of elevating women in our industry and investing in strong, inclusive leadership. At Orkin, we’re proud to support and celebrate the women who are shaping our future, leading with expertise, and making a lasting impact across our business.
Atlanta didn’t just show up; they made a difference. At the second Mosquitoes Don’t Deserve a Drop blood drive, our teammates helped generate 46 donations while exploring Orkin’s new Discovery Zone at the Fernbank Museum and even meeting Buddy the Blood Drop. Moments like these reflect what it’s like to work at Orkin: a team that comes together to support one another, give back to the community, and make a real, measurable impact. If you’re looking to be part of a company where your work goes beyond the job and helps make a difference, we’d love to have you on the team.
The Los Angeles team just kicked off this year’s Mosquitoes Don’t Deserve a Drop blood‑drive campaign, and the impact is already real. Volunteers collected 48 units of blood at the first campaign drive of the year, helping save lives and setting the tone for what’s ahead. And this is only the start. Drives are happening nationwide, including in Atlanta, Dallas, and Denver, with more on the way. Moments like these show what it feels like to be part of Orkin: we show up for our communities, we take action, and we make a difference together.

This week, we proudly celebrated the opening of our Arlington Commercial Branch in Texas. It's an exciting milestone as Orkin continues to grow and strengthen our Commercial presence. This new location is about more than expansion. It allows us to be closer to our customers, respond faster, and better support the teams who deliver high-quality service every day. Most importantly, the celebration was about our people—the local team, leaders, and employees who bring the Orkin brand to life through their commitment and expertise. And more than 40 people showed up to support. This is what growth looks like at Orkin: investing in our people, expanding our presence, and delivering performance that makes a difference.
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.
