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 down the top pest control companies by looking at factors like coverage, customer satisfaction, industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
This is how we ranked them:
Terminix is one of the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses with their pest problems for over 90 years. The company provides effective pest control services that are safe for you and your family.
Terminix offers both one-time extermination services and seasonal pest control. Plus, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Terminix’s typical pest regimen consists of a home inspection and initial treatment, followed by three seasonal 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 positive consumer reviews and skilled pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin deals with many common pests, including ants, spiders, cockroaches, and silverfish. Each pest control contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your exterminator will come back for another visit.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has almost 100 years’ worth of experience protecting residents from pests. The global brand owns the North American pest control providers Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil deals with the common pests in Golden Valley, including wasps, cockroaches, bed bugs, crickets, mosquitoes, bees, moths, spiders, ants, and flies. Depending on your location, Rentokil may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control businesses are identical when it comes to reputation, proficiency, and competence. It's important to do your research to determine the ideal option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control professional:
You should look for a pest control company that specializes in treating the pest you have, like rodents, roaches, bed bugs, or termites. The company should provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies that employ technicians with certifications in pest control methods from expert organizations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Having the proper credentials indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about ongoing educational requirements.
Spend time perusing online reviews on Google and Yelp before scheduling a pest control appointment. This can help you determine for yourself 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 company from our list of the top pest control in Golden Valley, 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 squirrels invading your attic, you can also ask about humane catch and release. Bear 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.
Quality pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. The guarantees mean the company will return and re-treat for free if you still have pests in your home after the initial treatment. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
After picking your top exterminators, contact each one and ask questions such as these:
Analyze potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to pick a qualified provider to effectively address your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
A variety of pests end up finding their way into Golden Valley residences. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can cause anxiety. To give you an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we analyzed the pests mentioned in around 10 million social media posts.
The top pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They can treat all common pests, service locations nationwide, and have been in business for a long time.
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. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from returning.
There are some pests you can control yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a stray spider, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some infestations warrant calling the professionals. If you have a big infestation, you don’t know what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Golden 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 per visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control companies for a quote.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’re just interested in preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your home is in the spring before nest and colony numbers get too high in the hotter part of the year. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
