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 it down to these pest control providers by comparing contracts, customer reviews, state availability, pest control treatments offered, costs, and more.
Here’s how the top pest control companies in Florence ranked:
Terminix ranks as one of the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses stay pest-free for over 90 years. The company offers effective pest control services that are safe for your family.
Terminix treats dozens of pests in Florence, and if you aren’t completely satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
If you need quick pest control service in Florence, consider Orkin. Since 1901, Orkin has become one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its exterminators undergo 160 hours of training. Plus, because of its big network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin’s most popular pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin’s most common pest control plan is also seasonal, which means your home will be treated several times over the course of a year.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners remove common pests for over 90 years. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers such as Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich, which provide individual services.
Rentokil deals with the common pests in Florence, including cockroaches, bed bugs, flies, spiders, moths, crickets, bees, ants, wasps, and mosquitoes. The company guarantees satisfaction with its treatments. If you still have pests after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Not all pest control providers are the identical in credibility, qualifications, and capability. Researching services helps you identify the right choice for your pest circumstance. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that has experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly lay out its area of expertise.
When choosing a pest control company, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. These credentials indicate that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also ask about required training hours and continuing education.
We advise checking out customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites can tell you whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of continuing education technicians receive to stay current on the latest pest control techniques and treatment methods. When you choose a provider from our list of the top pest control in Florence, 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 offering “green” accreditation. For larger pests like mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a moderate to serious pest problem, you may need more effective traditional solutions. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will make another visit and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments might not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have compiled a list of a few top-rated pest management providers, talk to each one and come prepared to ask these types of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the right provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
Florence is home to several pests, from insects to wildlife. To help you prepare for the most commonly seen pests, we examined social media conversations and compiled a list of the ones mentioned the most.
The best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They can treat all common pests, have locations all around the country, and have been in business for several decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every quarter or every two to three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
For the most part, pest control chemicals are safe. However, they have to be handled by a trained exterminator to make sure they’re used properly and safely. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying out of your home for a certain amount of time. This is generally 2 to 4 hours, but can be as much as 24 hours.
There are some pests you can control yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a rogue wasp, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some situations warrant calling the professionals. If you have an out-of-control infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Florence homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several companies for a quote.
We advise quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly in Florence, where pests can crop up more frequently because of the heat. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
