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 has narrowed down the top pest control companies to help you find the right provider for you. We analyzed costs, state availability, pest control treatments offered, contracts, customer reviews, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies ranked in Coachella:
Terminix is one of the largest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix has both one-time extermination services and seasonal pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. In addition to pest control, Terminix provides services, like mechanical exclusion, attic insulation, home disinfection services, and moisture control.
Orkin Pest Control is based in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a large network of branches. Its exterminators undergo 160 hours of training. In addition, because of its big network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin’s most popular pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. After the first visit, your pest control specialist will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have not returned. If they have, your local technicians can help
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with branches across the globe and close to a century of experience in the industry. The well-known brand owns the North American pest control companies Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control specialist will focus on both getting rid of current pests and preventing future infestations. Depending on the city, the pest control company may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control businesses are equal when it comes to credibility, expertise, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the ideal option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that primarily handles the pest you have, like rodents, roaches, bed bugs, or termites. The company should describe how they go about treating your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control company, look for technicians that have the proper state licensing and are certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Obtaining these credentials indicates that a technician has adequate training. Inquire with the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before booking a pest control appointment. Confirm through customer feedback that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive ongoing education on the latest and most innovative pest control treatments. When you choose a professional from our list of Coachella's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for companies with “green” accreditations if you want more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about gentle catch and release methods for larger animals like mice or snakes. Keep in mind that traditional treatments might be a better option for major infestations. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control providers usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a company will return to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice warranties.
Once you have compiled a list of a few highly reviewed exterminator services, reach out to each one and come prepared to ask these types of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to choose the right provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
Which pests you see depends on where you live. In Coachella, there are several that residents have to deal with. Our experts analyzed around 10 million posts on social media to uncover the pests that pose the most problems in the area.
The best pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They cover all common pests, have locations nationwide, and have been in business for several decades.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property routinely is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your house.
A pest control company removes unwanted insects or animals that have infested your property. Pest control also includes preventative measures taken to stop those pests from returning, which can happen at any point in a warm place like Coachella.
Many Coachella homeowners wonder 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 figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several companies for an estimate.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you just want preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional spray your house is in the spring before 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 any other season and see effective results.
