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 has narrowed down the best pest control experts to help you find the right provider for you. We considered costs, state availability, contracts, customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how the top companies in Oro Valley ranked:
Terminix ranks as one of the top four pest control companies in the world, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses stay pest-free for over 90 years. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix handles all types of pest issues for homeowners and business owners. These include roaches, ants, rodents, spiders, opossums, raccoons, and termites. In addition to pest control, Terminix offers other services, such as attic insulation, moisture control, home disinfection services, and mechanical exclusion.
Orkin has been in the industry for over 100 years. Its pest control specialists have to undergo 160 hours of training. Additionally, because of its large network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin offers a professional property inspection to identify issues and develop treatment plan. Each scheduled service comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your technician will return for another visit.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of experience. The company provides professional pest control treatments for homeowners and business owners. The large brand owns the North American pest control companies J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil deals with the common pests in Oro Valley, including mosquitoes, moths, ants, flies, crickets, wasps, bees, bed bugs, cockroaches, and spiders. 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.
Pest control providers aren't all the same when it comes to reputation, knowledge, and effectiveness. It’s important to research services to find the right one for your specific situation. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control company:
You should choose a pest control company that has expertise handling your specific problem, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should have clearly laid out its expertise with your specific pest.
Look for pest control companies that employ technicians with certifications in pest control methods from qualified industry groups, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Possessing the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about ongoing educational requirements.
We advise looking at customer reviews prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other review sites will show 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 a provider from our list of Oro Valley's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that 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” accredited solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or squirrels in your attic. Keep in mind that natural options may be less effective for serious infestations, and if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control companies usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a provider will return to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice warranties.
Once you have determined your top pest management companies, reach out to each one to ask these questions:
Thoroughly evaluate potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you select the right provider to safely and effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Many types of pests end up finding their way into Oro Valley residences. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can give homeowners anxiety. To help you identify the most commonly seen pests, we analyzed online discussions and put together a list of the ones mentioned the most.
The top pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They help with all common pests, have locations all around the nation, and have been in business for decades.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property regularly is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your house.
There are some pests you can control yourself. For example, if you see some ants or a stray wasp, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some infestations warrant bringing in the professionals. If you have a large infestation, you don’t know what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Pest control involves getting rid of unwanted insects like termites, rodents, and other unwanted bugs or animals from your home. When you hire a pest control company, an exterminator will do an inspection. Then they will use various techniques to remove the pests and prevent them from returning, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Oro Valley 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 per visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control providers for a quote.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or even bi-monthly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the infestation is resolved.
