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’s experts identified the top pest control companies by comparing state availability, customer reviews, costs, and more.
This is how we ranked them:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of experience in the pest control business. It uses the latest pest control techniques to eliminate insects and unwanted wildlife wherever they are.
Terminix is most widely known for its specialty termite services, but they deal with much more than just that. Their other services include: rodents, ticks, cockroaches, spiders, mosquitoes, ants, and wildlife control including squirrels, skunks, opossums, raccoons, and more. In addition to pest control, Terminix offers services, such as home disinfection services, attic insulation, moisture control, and mechanical exclusion.
Orkin has been in the business for over 100 years. Due to its vast network, Orkin can provide next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin can protect your property from many common pests, such as ants, spiders, silverfish, and cockroaches. Orkin can arrange 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 is a service group with over 90 years of experience. The company provides expert pest control treatments for homeowners and business owners. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control companies like Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners control for the following pests: bed bugs, ants, cockroaches, wasps, spiders, bees, mosquitoes, flies, crickets, and moths. Its services consist of preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control services are the identical in reputation, background, and effectiveness. Vetting providers helps you identify the right choice for your pest circumstance. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control professional:
You should 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 explain their process for treating your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control company, look for technicians with certifications in pest control methods from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), on top of proper state licensing. Solid credentials show that the technicians have completed proper training. Also ask about continuing education policies and total training hours.
We highly recommend checking out customer reviews prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of continuing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you choose an exterminator from our list of Campbell's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for services that use “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or squirrels in your attic. Keep in mind that natural options may be less effective for serious infestations. If you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the company will come back and re-treat at no cost if your home still has pests after the initial treatment. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected your top pest control providers, reach out to each one with questions such as:
Assess potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to pick the right provider to effectively fix your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Different pests show up in different places. In Campbell, there are several that residents may deal with. We reviewed around 10 million social media posts to uncover the most common pests invading local homes.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're highly regarded in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every two or three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from returning.
For the most part, pest control chemicals are safe. However, they must be handled by a trained professional to make sure they’re used properly, which is especially important if you have young children. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying away from your home for a certain period of time. This is generally 2 to 4 hours, but can be as much as 24 hours.
A pest control company removes unwanted insects or animals that have infested a property. Pest control also includes preventative measures taken to stop those pests from coming back, which can happen at any point in a warm place like Campbell.
Many Campbell 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 find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control providers for a quote.
We advise quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly in Campbell, where the heat can make pests more prevalent. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
