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’s experts narrowed down the top pest control providers by comparing state availability, customer reviews, costs, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies in Valley ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of experience in the pest control industry. With this breadth of experience, it’s easy to see why Terminix is one of the top companies in the country.
Terminix treats many types of pests in Valley, and it guarantees that your pest problems will be solved. In addition to pest control, Terminix has other services, like attic insulation, mechanical exclusion, moisture control, and home disinfection services.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. Because of its large network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin can protect your property from many common pests, such as cockroaches, silverfish, ants, and spiders. Orkin can book regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurrent problems or any other urgent pest control needs, you can contact a customer service representative.
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest pest control company, which is comprised of hundreds of brands worldwide. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers including Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich, which can provide tailored services.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both exterminating existing pests and preventing future infestations. Depending on where you live, Rentokil may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control companies are the identical in credibility, experience, and effectiveness. Researching businesses helps you identify the right choice for your pest issue. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has experience handling the type of pest you have, whether it’s roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to explain their approach for treating your type of pest.
The ideal pest management provider will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by organizations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials demonstrate that the technicians have received proper training. You'll also want to inquire with each company about continuing training for their employees.
Take some time to read online reviews on Google and Yelp before committing to a pest control provider. This can help you confirm 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 ongoing regular training to stay current on the most recent pest control methods. When you choose a provider from our list of Valley's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for companies that promote “green” certified solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or raccoons nesting nearby. However, natural options may be less effective for serious infestations; if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides that are classified as greater than 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 return to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments might not include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have compiled a list of a few top-rated pest management providers, have conversations with each one and be prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will enable you to choose the best provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
Pests vary by location. In Valley, there are a few different ones that residents have to deal with. We examined around 10 million online conversations to determine the most common pests in the city.
The best pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They help with all common pests, have locations nationwide, and have been in business for decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every two or three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
Pest control chemicals are safe but must be handled by a professional. If you have any questions about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around young children and pets — and how long you have to stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
A pest control company gets rid of unwanted insects or animals that have infested your property. Pest control also consists of preventative measures that stop those pests from returning, which can happen at any point in a warm place like Valley.
Many Valley homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally 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 a quote.
We recommend quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly in Valley, where pests can be more common because of the heat. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
