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:
Today's Homeowner has narrowed down the top pest control companies so you can find the right provider for you. We considered customer reviews, contracts, pest control treatments offered, state availability, costs, and more.
Here’s how Sheffield’s top companies ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of experience in the pest control industry. With the amount of experience the company has, it’s easy to see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they deal with much more than just that. Their other services include: mosquitoes, ants, rodents, cockroaches, spiders, ticks, and wildlife control including opossums, raccoons, skunks, squirrels, and more. Along with pest control, Terminix has services, such as attic insulation, mechanical exclusion, moisture control, and home disinfection services.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the longest-running pest control companies with a expansive network of branches. It has positive consumer reviews and skilled exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Pests Orkin helps with are earwigs, carpenter ants, cockroaches, fleas, yellow jackets, mice, bed bugs, rats, ticks, bees, and more. Each contract with Orkin comes with a 30-day guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your pest control specialist will come back for another visit.
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest pest control company, which owns hundreds of brands worldwide. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers such as Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X, which provide individual services.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control specialist will focus on both exterminating existing pests and preventing future infestations. Rentokil uses treatments that are safe for your pets and children.
Not all pest control services are identical when it comes to reputation, knowledge, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the best option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has experience handling the type of pest you have, whether it’s rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should be able to describe how they treat your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians that are licensed by the state and certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Having these credentials indicates that a technician has adequate training. Question the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
Before booking an appointment, take the time to read online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a proven track record of providing positive experiences and effective services. Also look for complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about ongoing training at the company as well as how its technicians stay up to date on the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you choose a professional from our list of the top pest control in Sheffield, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for providers that advertise “green” accreditation. For larger pests like mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a substantial pest problem, you may need stronger traditional methods. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control providers usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a company will make another visit to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice warranties.
Once you have found your top exterminators, contact each one to ask these questions:
Assess potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to pick a qualified provider to effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Many types of pests like to find their way into Sheffield homes. Some are relatively harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can cause anxiety. We analyzed around 10 million online discussions to figure out which pests people in different areas had problems with the most.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Sheffield are Orkin and Terminix. They're well known in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every quarter or every two to three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
The key to finding the best pest control company for you is to get in touch with multiple companies and get estimates from them. You should also be sure to read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
A pest control company removes unwanted bugs or animals that have infested your home. Pest control also consists of preventative measures taken to help stop those pests from coming back, which can happen at any point in a warm place like Sheffield.
Many Sheffield homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several companies for an estimate.
We recommend quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly in Sheffield, where pests can be more common because of the heat. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
