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:
When ranking these pest control companies, we took into consideration several factors including types of pest control treatments offered, coverage, industry experience, customer service, and more.
Here’s how the top pest control companies in Commerce ranked:
Terminix is one of the largest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with many branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix can help you with all types of pest problems for residential and commercial customers. These include ants, roaches, rodents, spiders, termites, raccoons, and opossums. In addition to pest control, Terminix offers other services, like home disinfection services, attic insulation, mechanical exclusion, and moisture control.
Started in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has grown to be one of the most reputable in the pest control industry. Because of its vast network, Orkin can provide same-day or next-day service.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify potential problems and draw up an appropriate treatment plan. After your initial 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
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has almost 100 years’ worth of experience getting rid of pests. The brand owns the North American pest control companies Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil can protect your home from the common pests in Commerce, including wasps, spiders, mosquitoes, moths, flies, bees, bed bugs, cockroaches, ants, and crickets. The company guarantees satisfaction with its treatments. If you still have pest problems after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Pest control services aren't all the same when it comes to reputation, qualifications, and capability. It’s important to research providers to find the right one for your specific situation. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that has experience handling the type of pest you have, whether it’s termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies that employ technicians with certifications in pest control methods from reputable industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Having the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about continuing education opportunities.
Before booking an appointment, browse online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a proven track record of providing positive experiences and effective services. Also look for complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you choose a company from our list of the top pest control in Commerce, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for companies that promote “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or squirrels in your attic. However, natural options may be less effective for serious infestations. If you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need stronger traditional methods. No matter your approach to pest control, 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 recurring plans. The guarantees mean the provider will make another visit and re-treat for free if your home still has pests following the initial visit. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have compiled a list of a few highly reviewed exterminator services, have conversations with each one and be prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate 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.
Commerce is home to several pests, from insects to wildlife. To give you an idea of the most common pests in the city, we analyzed the pests talked about in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're well-respected 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 quarter or every two to three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
A pest control company exterminates unwanted insects or animals that have infested a property. Pest control also includes preventative measures that help stop those pests from returning, which can happen at any point in a warm place like Commerce.
Many Commerce 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 per visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several providers for an estimate.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’d just like preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional spray your house is in the spring before nest and 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.
