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 has narrowed down the top pest control companies so you can find the right provider for you. We assessed contracts, pest control treatments offered, costs, state availability, customer reviews, and more.
This is how we ranked the top pest control companies in Diamond Springs:
Terminix is one of the largest and oldest pest control companies in the world, with branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. It utilizes the latest pest control techniques to exterminate insects and unwanted wildlife anywhere you see them.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they take care of much more than that. Their other services include: ants, rodents, spiders, ticks, cockroaches, mosquitoes, and wildlife control such as skunks, raccoons, squirrels, opossums, and more. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified technician will assess your situation and provide a suitable control plan.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. Its pest control specialists have to undergo 160 hours of training. Additionally, because of its big network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin offers an expert property inspection to identify problem pests and areas and draw up a suitable treatment plan. After the initial treatment, your Orkin expert will follow up to check that the pests haven’t come back. If they have, your local technicians can assist.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has nearly 100 years’ worth of experience exterminating pests. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control providers in North America. These include J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
It exterminates 36 of the most common pests including bed bugs, mice, spiders, flies, moths, cockroaches, rats, and more. After the initial inspection and treatment of your property, a technician will treat your property as often as your contract states.
Not all pest control providers are identical when it comes to credibility, expertise, and competence. It's important to do your research to determine the ideal option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to describe how they treat your type of pest.
When selecting a pest control provider, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. The right credentials show that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also ask about required training hours and continuing education.
Spend time perusing online reviews on Google and Yelp before committing to a pest control provider. This can help you confirm 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 consistent training to stay current on the most recent pest control methods. When you select a provider from our list of Diamond Springs' best pest control, 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 services that use “green” certified solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or other burrowing rodents. Keep in mind that natural options may be less effective for serious infestations, and if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need stronger traditional methods. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control providers usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a provider will return to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice warranties.
Once you have compiled a list of a few top contending pest control companies, reach out to each one and be prepared to ask these types of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will help you hire the best provider to safely and successfully eliminate your pest problem at a fair price.
There are various kinds of pests in Diamond Springs, ranging from harmless annoyances to ones that can damage your home. We compiled a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing what pests were often mentioned on social media platforms.
The top pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They can treat all common pests, service locations all around the nation, and have been in the industry for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your house once every quarter. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire an exterminator depends on your situation. You’ll want to consider factors like the size of the infestation, what chemicals need to be used, and how much the pest control will cost. Additionally, you may want to also consider professional pest control if you're concerned about safety or pets.
Many Diamond Springs homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control companies 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 your property from getting too many pests later.
