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 has narrowed down the best pest control companies to help you find the best provider for you. We considered contracts, state availability, costs, pest control treatments offered, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how the top pest control companies in Farmington ranked:
Terminix is one of the biggest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix exterminates all kinds of pest problems for homeowners and business owners. These include termites, ants, roaches, raccoons, opossums, rodents, and spiders. Terminix’s general pest regimen includes a home inspection and preliminary treatment, followed by three additional treatments over the course of a year.
If you need fast pest control service in Farmington, consider Orkin. Founded in 1901, Orkin has become one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its exterminators need to complete 160 hours of training. Additionally, because of its large network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify issues and develop treatment plan. Orkin’s typical pest control service plan is also quarterly, meaning your home will be treated several times during the year.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with branches across the globe and almost a century of experience in the industry. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control providers in North America. These include Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both getting rid of existing pests and preventing future infestations. Its treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Not all pest control providers are the same in reputation, experience, and proficiency. Evaluating businesses helps you identify the right choice for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that has experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its area of expertise.
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. Also ask about continuing education opportunities.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before booking a pest control appointment. Confirm through customer feedback that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive ongoing education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you choose a company from our list of Farmington's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more natural, eco-friendly pest control solutions, look for companies that have "green" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or squirrels invading your attic, you can also inquire about humane catch and release methods. Bear in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective. You may need to consider the traditional route for a more serious infestation. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control provides usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will come back and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is taken care of. One-time treatments might not have reservice guarantees.
Once you have determined your top pest management companies, reach out to each one to ask these questions:
Evaluate potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to select the right provider to effectively solve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Farmington is home to a number of pests, from wildlife to insects. We came up with a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing which pests were frequently posted about on social media sites.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're well-respected in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every two or three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but have to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions or concerns about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — or are wondering how long you have to stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Many Farmington homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control companies for a quote.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’d just like preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional spray your house is in the spring before 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 any other season and see effective results.
