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:
Today's Homeowner narrowed it down to these pest control providers by comparing state availability, costs, pest control treatments offered, customer reviews, contracts, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries globally. It has also been in the industry for about 100 years. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix deals with all types of pest problems for residential and commercial customers. These include ants, opossums, rodents, raccoons, spiders, roaches, and termites. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified exterminator will assess your situation and provide a suitable control plan.
Orkin has been in the business for over 100 years. Its pest control specialists need to complete 160 hours of training. And, because of its big network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin’s most common pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin can book regular follow-up visits. Also, if you have recurring problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact a customer service representative.
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with providers across the globe and nearly a century of experience in the industry. The well-known brand owns the North American pest control companies J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil can protect your home from the common pests in Sun Lakes, including wasps, bed bugs, ants, cockroaches, flies, crickets, mosquitoes, moths, bees, and spiders. After the initial inspection and treatment of your property, a technician will service your property every quarter.
Not all pest control services are the same in reputation, experience, and competence. Vetting businesses helps you identify the right choice for your pest circumstance. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control professional:
It's recommended to look for a pest control company that focuses their business on the pest you have, like roaches, bed bugs, termites, or rodents. The company should describe how they go about treating your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from reputable industry associations, 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 ongoing educational requirements.
Before booking an appointment, take the time to read online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to see which providers have a proven track record of providing positive experiences and effective services. Also look for any complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Ask about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you select a provider from our list of Sun Lakes' best pest control, you can rest easy knowing 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 methods. Bear in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective. You may need to consider a more traditional route for a more serious infestation. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control companies normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will come back and re-treat your home at no cost if there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have found your top pest management companies, contact each one to ask these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will enable you to select a qualified provider to effectively control your pest situation at a fair price.
A variety of pests end up finding their way into Sun Lakes houses. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can cause anxiety. Our team examined around 10 million social media conversations to determine the pests that pose the most problems in the area.
The best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They help with all common pests, service locations nationwide, and have been in the industry for several decades.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property once every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your house.
Pest control involves exterminating unwanted insects like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or animals from your property. When you hire a pest control company, an exterminator will do an inspection. Then they will use various techniques to remove the pests and stop them from coming back, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Sun Lakes 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 figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several companies for an estimate.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or even bi-monthly pest control treatments are recommended. If you have a more serious infestation, however, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the issue is resolved.
