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 team at Today's Homeowner narrowed down the top pest control providers by comparing customer reviews, costs, state availability, and more.
Here’s how Glendale’s top providers ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of pest control industry experience. It utilizes the latest technology in pest control to get rid of pests no matter where you find them.
Terminix treats dozens of pests in Glendale, and it offers a 30-day guarantee. Terminix’s general pest regimen includes a home inspection and preliminary treatment, with three additional treatments during the year.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the most reputable pest control companies in the country. It has excellent customer reviews and skilled exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin deals with many common pests, such as cockroaches, ants, spiders, and silverfish. Orkin’s typical pest control service is also seasonal, which means your home will be treated several times over the course of a year.
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with branches across the globe and close to a century of experience in the industry. The brand owns the North American pest control companies Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners take care of the following pests: spiders, crickets, flies, wasps, moths, bed bugs, ants, bees, mosquitoes, and cockroaches. After the initial inspection of your property, a technician will service your property as often as your contract states.
Not all pest control providers are identical when it comes to reputation, knowledge, and competence. It's important to do your research to determine the right option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should be able to explain their approach for treating your type of pest.
When selecting 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. The right credentials show that the technicians have completed proper training. Also ask about continuing education policies and total training hours.
We suggest looking at customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other review sites can tell you whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of ongoing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you select an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Glendale, 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 companies with “green” accreditation. For larger pests like mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a substantial pest problem, you may need more effective traditional methods. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control providers usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a company will come back to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice warranties.
After choosing your top pest management services, contact each one with questions such as these:
Analyze potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to select the right provider to effectively address your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Glendale is home to a number of pests, from wildlife to insects. To help you identify the most common pests, we analyzed various social media sites and compiled a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're well-respected in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every two or three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
For the most part, pest control chemicals are safe. However, they need to be handled by a professional exterminator to make sure they’re used safely. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying away from your home for a certain period of time. This is usually 2 to 4 hours, but can be up to 24 hours.
A pest control company gets rid of unwanted insects or animals that have infested a home. Pest control also consists of preventative measures that help stop said pests from returning, which can happen at any point in a warm place like Glendale.
Many Glendale homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 per 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 pest control companies for a quote.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will grow much larger when it's hotter, so pest control in the spring can help prevent your property from getting too many pests later.
