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 it down to these pest control companies by analyzing costs, customer reviews, contracts, state availability, pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how the top companies 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 Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix exterminates all kinds of pest problems for homeowners and business owners. These include ants, termites, raccoons, opossums, spiders, rodents, and roaches. Terminix’s general pest regimen includes a home inspection and preliminary treatment, followed by three additional treatments over the course of a year.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the most trustworthy pest control companies in the country. It has great consumer reviews and competent exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin’s most common pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. After your first visit, your technician will follow up regularly to make sure that the pests have stayed away for good. If they have, your local technicians can help
Rentokil, a business service group, is the world's largest pest control company, representing hundreds of brands worldwide. The global brand owns the North American pest control providers Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil and its partners control for the following pests: spiders, mosquitoes, wasps, bed bugs, flies, cockroaches, crickets, ants, moths, and bees. Depending on the city, the pest control company may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control services are the equal in credibility, background, and proficiency. Researching companies helps you identify the right choice for your pest situation. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly lay out its area of expertise.
The ideal pest control company will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by associations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials demonstrate that the technicians have finished proper training. You'll also want to question each company about continuing training for their employees.
We suggest looking at customer reviews before 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 for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of ongoing 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 Peoria, 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” certifications. For larger pests like mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. Bear 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 potent traditional methods. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control providers normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat your home for free if there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services may not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified a few highly reviewed exterminator services, reach out to each one and be prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will help you choose the best provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
A variety of pests find their way into Peoria residences. Some are relatively harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can cause anxiety. We reviewed around 10 million posts on social media to identify the pests that were causing the most trouble for residents.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're highly regarded in the industry and cover all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every quarter. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
To find the best pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and do thorough research. We recommend obtaining quotes from several companies and reading reviews to help figure out which company is the right one for you.
Many Peoria 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 getting in touch with several pest control companies for a quote.
We advise quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly in Peoria, where pests can pop up more frequently because of the heat. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
