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 down the top pest control providers by considering factors like types of pest control treatments offered, customer satisfaction, coverage, industry experience, and more.
This is how we ranked the top pest control companies in Newport:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries globally. It has also been in business for about 100 years. It uses the latest innovations in pest control to eliminate pests wherever they are.
Terminix’s specialty is termites, but they exterminate much more than that. Their other services include: rodents, ants, spiders, mosquitoes, ticks, cockroaches, and wildlife control including skunks, raccoons, squirrels, opossums, and more. Terminix’s typical pest regimen consists of a home inspection and preliminary treatment, with three seasonal treatments over the course of a year.
Founded in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has evolved into one of the most reputable in the pest control industry. Its pest control specialists have to undergo 160 hours of training. Additionally, because of its large network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin handles many common pests, such as spiders, cockroaches, silverfish, and ants. Each pest control contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your technician will return for another visit.
Rentokil, a business service group, is the world's largest pest control company, which is comprised of hundreds of brands worldwide. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few regional pest control companies like Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
It protects from 36 of the most common pests including bed bugs, mice, flies, rats, moths, cockroaches, spiders, and more. After the initial inspection and treatment of your home, a technician will service your property every quarter.
Pest control businesses aren't all identical when it comes to credibility, understanding, and effectiveness. It’s important to research services to find the right one for your specific situation. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control professional:
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 thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
When choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians that have the proper state licensing and are certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Possessing these credentials demonstrates that a technician has adequate training. Question the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
Read online reviews on Google and Yelp before committing to a pest control provider. This can help you confirm 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 ongoing regular training to stay current on the latest pest control methods. When you choose a company from our list of Newport's best pest control, 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 that advertise “green” certifications. For bigger animals such as mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. But keep 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 (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will return and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is handled. One-time treatments may not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified a few top contending pest control companies, reach out to each of them and be prepared to ask these types of questions:
Thoroughly evaluate potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the best provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
A variety of pests can find their way into Newport residences. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can cause anxiety. We created a list of the most common pests in the city by examining what pests were frequently posted about on social media platforms.
The best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They cover all common pests, service locations nationwide, and have been in the industry 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 other wildlife from coming inside your home.
The key to finding the right pest control company for you is to get in touch with several companies and get estimates from them. You should also be sure you read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire an exterminator depends on your situation. You’ll want to take into consideration factors like what chemicals need to be used, the size of the infestation, and how much the pest control will cost. Additionally, you may want to also consider professional pest control if you're concerned about safety.
Many Newport homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for a quote.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you just want preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your house is in the spring before nest and colony numbers get too high in the hotter part of the year. But it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
