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 companies by comparing customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, contracts, state availability, costs, and more.
Here’s how Somerton’s top providers ranked:
Terminix ranks in the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses with their pest problems for over 90 years. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, Watauga County Best of the Best, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix helps with all kinds of pests in Somerton, and it offers a 30-day guarantee. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified exterminator will take a look at your situation and provide a suitable control plan.
Started in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has grown to be one of the most reputable in the pest control industry. Because of its large network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Pests Orkin handles are hornets, yellow jackets, fleas, crickets, carpenter ants, centipedes, mice, ticks, wasps, moths, and more. Each pest control contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your pest control specialist will return for another visit.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has almost a century’s worth of experience dealing with pests. The brand owns the North American pest control companies J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control specialist will focus on both eliminating existing pests and preventing future infestations. Depending on your location, Rentokil and its partners may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control providers are identical when it comes to credibility, proficiency, and effectiveness. It's important to do your research to determine the most suitable option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control company:
It's recommended to look for a pest control company that specializes in treating the pest you have, like bed bugs, termites, roaches, or rodents. The company should explain their process for treating your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from qualified industry groups, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Holding the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about continuing education opportunities.
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 consistent training to stay current on the most up-to-date pest control methods. When you choose a professional from our list of the top pest control in Somerton, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for providers that specialize in “green” certified solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or squirrels in your attic. However, 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. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control companies usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a provider will come back to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments might not include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected 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 evaluate pest control providers 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.
You should be aware of the pests you could come across in Somerton. For an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we examined the pests discussed in around 10 million social media posts.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're well known in the industry and cover all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property routinely is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your house.
For the most part, pest control chemicals are safe. Even so, they must be handled by a trained professional to ensure they’re used safely. After your house has been sprayed, your exterminator will recommend staying away from your home for a certain amount of time. This is usually 2 to 4 hours, but can be a maximum of 24 hours.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take time to do diligent research. We recommend obtaining quotes from several companies and looking at reviews to help figure out which company is the best for you.
Many Somerton 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 figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control companies for a quote.
We recommend quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly in Somerton, where pests can be more common because of the heat. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
