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:
The team at Today's Homeowner narrowed down the top pest control providers by comparing state availability, costs, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how we ranked them:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries worldwide. It has also been in the industry for almost 100 years. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix has both one-off extermination services and routine pest control. Plus, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Because of its vast network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Pests Orkin helps with are ticks, carpenter ants, mice, centipedes, bees, hornets, silverfish, bed bugs, yellow jackets, cockroaches, and more. Each contract with Orkin comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your technician will return for another visit.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of industry experience. The company provides innovative pest control treatments for homeowners and business owners. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control companies in North America. These include Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil and its partners handle the following pests: ants, flies, bees, mosquitoes, wasps, crickets, spiders, cockroaches, bed bugs, and moths. After the initial inspection and treatment of your property, a technician will treat your property every quarter.
Not all pest control businesses are the same in reputation, experience, and capability. Researching services helps you identify the right choice for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control professional:
You should look for a pest control company that primarily handles the pest you have, like termites, bed bugs, roaches, or rodents. The company should provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
The ideal exterminator will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by associations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials indicate that the technicians have finished proper training. You'll also want to inquire with each company about regular education updates for their employees.
Spend time perusing online reviews on Google and Yelp before committing to a pest control provider. This can help you verify whether the company consistently provides quality service and positive experiences. Also check the Better Business Bureau for any complaints. Ask the provider whether technicians receive ongoing regular training to stay current on the most up-to-date pest control methods. When you choose a provider from our list of Cloverdale's best pest control, 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” accreditation. For bigger animals such as mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a considerable pest problem, you may need more effective traditional methods. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control companies usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will make another visit and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments might not include reservice guarantees.
After picking your top pest control companies, contact each one and ask questions such as these:
Evaluate potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to select the right provider to effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Which pests you may see depends on where you live. In Cloverdale, there are several that residents may deal with. We compiled a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing which pests were frequently posted about on social media.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Cloverdale are Terminix and Orkin. They're well known in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every quarter. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but must 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.
There are some pests you can control yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a stray wasp, chances are you can take care 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.
Many Cloverdale 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 getting in touch with several providers for a quote.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. This is because nests and colony numbers will get much higher as it gets warmer, so spraying in the spring can help prevent you from getting too many pests later.
