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:
When ranking these pest control providers, we compared several factors including types of pest control treatments offered, customer service, coverage, industry experience, and more.
This is how they 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 several awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix has both one-time extermination services and seasonal pest control. Plus, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified exterminator will take a look at your situation and provide a suitable control plan.
If you need fast pest control service in Anaheim, consider Orkin. Founded in 1901, Orkin has become one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its pest control specialists need to complete 160 hours of training. In addition, because of its big network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin offers an expert property inspection to identify potential problems and develop a suitable treatment plan. Orkin can schedule regular follow-up visits. Also, if you have recurring problems or any other urgent pest control needs, you can contact a customer service representative.
Rentokil, a business service group, is the world's largest pest control company, representing hundreds of brands worldwide. The brand owns the North American pest control companies Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil and its partners control for the following pests: cockroaches, moths, bees, flies, bed bugs, crickets, wasps, ants, mosquitoes, and spiders. Depending on the city, Rentokil may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control services are identical when it comes to reputation, proficiency, and competence. It's important to do your research to determine the right option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors 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 roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
The ideal pest management provider will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by groups like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials indicate that the technicians have finished proper training. You'll also want to ask each company about ongoing education for their employees.
Before scheduling an appointment, spend time reading online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a reputation for providing positive experiences and effective services. Also look for any complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you choose a professional from our list of Anaheim'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 eco-friendly and natural pest control solutions, look for providers that have "green" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or other rodents coming inside, you can also inquire about humane catch and release. Keep 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. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the company will make another visit and re-treat at no cost if you still have pests in your home following the initial treatment. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have narrowed down your top exterminators, reach out to each one to ask questions such as:
Thoroughly evaluate potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you hire the right provider to safely and effectively get rid of your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Different pests come up in different places. In Anaheim, there are several that residents may deal with. We reviewed around 10 million online conversations to determine the most common pests in the city.
The best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They cover all common pests, service locations all around the nation, and have been in the industry for several decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every quarter or every two to three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from coming back.
For the most part, pest control chemicals are safe. That being said, they have to be handled by a trained professional to ensure they’re used safely. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying out of your home for a certain amount of time. This is usually 2 to 4 hours, but can be a maximum of 24 hours.
Many Anaheim homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several providers for an estimate.
We recommend quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly in Anaheim, where the heat can make pests more prevalent. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
