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:
The Today's Homeowner team narrowed down the top pest control companies by looking at factors like types of pest control treatments offered, customer satisfaction, industry experience, coverage, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies in Anthem ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of experience in the pest control business. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they help with much more than just that. Their other services include: mosquitoes, spiders, rodents, ants, cockroaches, ticks, and wildlife control such as skunks, raccoons, squirrels, opossums, and more. Terminix’s general pest regimen consists of a home inspection and initial treatment, followed by three additional treatments over the course of a year.
Orkin Pest Control is based in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the longest-running pest control companies with a large network of branches. It has excellent customer reviews and well-trained exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Pests Orkin helps with includes termites, centipedes, crickets, cockroaches, yellow jackets, spiders, carpenter ants, hornets, flies, bed bugs, and more. After the first treatment, your Orkin exterminator will follow up to check that the pests haven’t come back. 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 treatments all around the world. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control providers in North America. These include J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control specialist will focus on both getting rid of current pests and preventing future infestations. Rentokil’s treatments are safe for your pets and children.
Not all pest control providers are the same when it comes to reputation, knowledge, and competence. It's important to do your research to determine the most suitable option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that primarily handles the pest you have, like termites, bed bugs, roaches, or rodents. The company should provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
The ideal pest control company will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by groups like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials indicate that the technicians have finished proper training. You'll also want to inquire with each company about regular education updates for their employees.
Peruse reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Ensure by reading reviews that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive consistent education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you choose a company from our list of the top pest control in Anthem, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more eco-friendly and natural pest control solutions, look for providers that have "green" certifications. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or other rodents coming inside, you can also inquire about humane catch and release. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective; consider a more traditional route for a more serious infestation. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat your home for free if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services may not include reservice guarantees.
After selecting your top pest control companies, call each one with questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the best provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
Many kinds of pests like to find their way into Anthem houses. Some are relatively harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can give homeowners anxiety. For an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we studied the pests discussed in around 10 million posts on social media.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're respected in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property routinely is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your house.
A pest control company removes unwanted bugs or animals that have infested your property. Pest control also includes preventative measures taken to stop said pests from returning, which can happen at any point in a warm place like Anthem.
Many Anthem homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several companies for an estimate.
We recommend quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly in Anthem, where pests can be more common because of the heat. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
