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 narrowed down the top pest control companies by comparing costs, state availability, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix is one of the largest and oldest pest control companies in the world, with many branches across the United States and 22 other countries. Terminix has received several awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix offers both one-time extermination services and routine pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Terminix’s general pest regimen consists of a home inspection and initial treatment, followed by three additional treatments over the course of a year.
Orkin Pest Control is based in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a large network of branches. Because of its large network, Orkin can offer same-day or next-day service.
Orkin handles many common pests, including spiders, silverfish, cockroaches, and ants. After your first visit, your pest control specialist will follow up regularly to make sure that the pests have not returned. If they have, your local technicians can help
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest pest control company, which owns hundreds of brands worldwide. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control providers in North America. These include Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil deals with the common pests in Carpinteria, including moths, bees, wasps, cockroaches, crickets, ants, spiders, mosquitoes, bed bugs, and flies. Its services cover preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control companies are the same in reputation, experience, and proficiency. Evaluating services helps you identify the right choice for your pest issue. 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 rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from qualified industry groups, 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. You'll also want to ask about continuing education opportunities.
Peruse reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before booking a pest control appointment. Ensure by reading reviews 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 provider from our list of the top pest control in Carpinteria, 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 offering “green” certifications. For larger pests like 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 considerable pest problem, you may need more potent traditional methods. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. The guarantees mean the provider will make another visit and re-treat for free if you still have pests in your home after the initial visit. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have determined your top pest management companies, contact each one with these questions:
Evaluate potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to choose a qualified provider to effectively take care of your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Many kinds of pests find their way into Carpinteria residences. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can cause anxiety. Our team studied around 10 million social media conversations to determine the pests that cause the most trouble in the area.
The top pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They cover all common pests, have many locations, and have been in business for decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every quarter. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from returning.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but need 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 — and how long you need to stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
In a town like Carpinteria, where the cost of living is remarkably high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. How much pest control costs varies depending on several factors, such as what kind of pests are infesting your home and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, but a quarterly treatment plan is typically cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. This is because nests and colony numbers will get much higher when it's hotter, so pest control in the spring can help prevent your property from getting too many pests later.
