Today's Homeowner looks at dozens of datapoints on pest 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:
Looking for a pest control company with nation-wide expertise? Here are our top picks:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of pest control industry experience. It uses the latest technology in pest control to exterminate pests wherever they are.
Terminix offers both one-time extermination services, as well as routine pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. In addition to pest control, Terminix has services, like mechanical exclusion, home disinfection services, attic insulation, and moisture control.
Started in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto Orkin, the company brand has evolved into one of the most reputable companies in the pest control industry. Orkin educates customers on its pest control process and treatments by detailing it in several articles and videos on the company's website.
Orkin can protect your home from all common pests in Chino, such as ants, spiders, cockroaches, and silverfish. Orkin's most common pest control service plan is also quarterly, so your home will be treated several times during the year.
Many types of pests like to find their way into Chino homes. Some are relatively harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can cause anxiety. We studied around 10 million social media conversations to uncover the most common pests plaguing local homes.
The best pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They help with all common pests, service locations nationwide, and have been in business for several decades.
Pest control chemicals 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 young children and pets — or are wondering how long you should stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
There are some pests you can control yourself. For example, if you see some ants or a stray cockroach, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some infestations warrant bringing in the professionals. If you have an out-of-control infestation, you don't know what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company, especially if you have young children.
For small infestations, you may be able to take care of pest control yourself with store-bought products. However, hiring a pest control company is often worth it for more serious infestations or for preventative pest control. Exterminators are trained to identify and treat pests, which can give you some peace of mind.
We recommend quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly in Chino where pests can be more common because of the heat. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
