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 top pest control experts so you can find the right provider for you. We considered state availability, customer reviews, costs, pest control treatments offered, contracts, and more.
Here’s how Buena Park’s top providers ranked:
Terminix ranks as one of the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses with their pest problems for over 90 years. It utilizes the latest innovations in pest control to rid your property of pests no matter where they are.
Terminix helps with all kinds of pests in Buena Park, and if you’re not completely satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Along with pest control, Terminix provides other services, including mechanical exclusion, home disinfection services, moisture control, and attic insulation.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the most reputable pest control companies in the country. Because of its large network, Orkin can provide next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin offers a professional property inspection to identify problem pests and areas and draw up a suitable treatment plan. Orkin can arrange regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurrent pest problems or any other urgent pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has nearly 100 years’ worth of experience exterminating pests. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control companies in North America. These include J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both exterminating existing pests and preventing future infestations. Rentokil’s treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Not all pest control services are the same in reputation, background, and capability. Vetting providers helps you identify the right choice for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control company:
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.
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 demonstrate that the technicians have completed proper training. You'll also want to ask each company about ongoing education for their employees.
Look through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before booking a pest control appointment. Verify for yourself that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive ongoing education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you choose a provider from our list of Buena Park'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" certifications. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or raccoons nesting in trees, you can also inquire about humane catch and release methods. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective. You may need to consider the traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. No matter your approach to pest control, any 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 guarantees mean that a company will make another visit to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments might not include these reservice warranties.
Once you have selected a few top contending pest control companies, have conversations with each of them and be prepared to ask these types of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will help you select the right provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
Many types of pests find their way into Buena Park homes. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can give homeowners anxiety. Our experts studied around 10 million online discussions to pinpoint the pests that pose the most problems in the area.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're highly regarded in the industry and cover all common pests.
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. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals from coming back.
Whether you should do DIY pest control or hire a company depends on your situation. You’ll want to take into consideration factors like the size of the infestation, what chemicals need to be used, and how much the pest control will cost. In addition, you may want to also consider professional pest control if you're concerned about safety.
Many Buena Park homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 a 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.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’re just interested in 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. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
