Today's Homeowner looks at dozens of datapoints on pest control companies to come up with our data-driven rankings. It's not possible for a company to pay for preferential treatment in our rankings. We look at the following key factors in determining who should top our list:
We narrowed down the top pest control providers by considering factors like customer satisfaction, coverage, industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how Arab’s top providers ranked:
Terminix is one of the biggest and oldest pest control companies in the world, with many branches across the United States and 22 other countries. It uses the latest technology in pest control to rid your property of insects and unwanted wildlife wherever they are.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they help with much more than that. Their other services include: cockroaches, spiders, ticks, mosquitoes, rodents, ants, and wildlife control including squirrels, skunks, opossums, raccoons, and more. Terminix’s general pest regimen includes a home inspection and preliminary treatment, followed by three seasonal treatments during the year.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a expansive network of branches. Its pest control specialists need to complete 160 hours of training. Additionally, due to its big network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify problem pests and areas and draw up treatment plan. After your first visit, your pest control specialist will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have stayed away for good. If they have, your local technicians can help
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of industry experience. The company provides professional pest control solutions for homeowners and business owners. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several local pest control companies like Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control specialist will focus on both exterminating current pests and preventing future infestations. Depending on the city, Rentokil may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Pest control companies vary in reputation, understanding, and effectiveness. It's important to research companies to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that has experience handling the type of pest you have, whether it’s termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to describe how they treat your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control company, look for technicians with certifications in pest control methods from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. Solid credentials indicate that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also inquire about required training hours and continuing education.
Take some time to read online reviews on Google and Yelp before scheduling a pest control appointment. This can help you determine for yourself whether the company consistently provides quality service and positive experiences. Also check the Better Business Bureau for any complaints. Ask the provider whether technicians receive consistent training to stay current on the most up-to-date pest control methods. When you select a provider from our list of Arab's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for companies with “green” certifications if you want more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about gentle catch and release methods for larger animals like mice or snakes. Keep in mind that traditional solutions might be a better option for significant infestations. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. The guarantees mean the company will come back and re-treat for free if you still have pests in your home after the initial treatment. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have determined your top pest management companies, reach out to each one with these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control companies using these questions. This will help you select the right provider to safely and successfully eliminate your pest problem at a fair price.
There are various kinds of pests in Arab, ranging from harmless nuisances to disease-carrying insects. To help you identify the most problematic pests, we analyzed social media conversations and put together a list of the ones mentioned the most.
The best pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They cover all common pests, service many locations, and have been in the industry for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your house once every quarter or every two to three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but have to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — and how long you need to stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Pest control involves getting rid of unwanted insects like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or wildlife from your property. When you hire a pest control company, a professional exterminator will do an inspection. Then they will use various methods to remove the pests and stop them from returning, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Arab homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for an estimate.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or even bi-monthly pest control treatments are recommended. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the problem is resolved.
