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’s experts narrowed down the top pest control companies by comparing customer reviews, state availability, costs, and more.
Here’s how the top providers ranked:
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. With this breadth of experience, you can see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix treats all kinds of pests in East San Gabriel, and if you’re not 100% satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Terminix’s typical pest regimen includes a home inspection and preliminary treatment, with three seasonal treatments during the year.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the most reputable pest control companies in the country. Its exterminators undergo 160 hours of training. And, because of its big network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin offers a professional property inspection to identify potential problems and draw up an appropriate treatment plan. After your first visit, your technician will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have stayed away for good. If they have, your local technicians can help
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest and most widely recognized pest control company, which owns hundreds of brands worldwide. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few regional pest control branches like Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both getting rid of current pests and preventing future infestations. Its services include preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Pest control services vary in reputation, expertise, and competence. It's important to research services to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control provider:
It's best to choose a pest control company that is equipped to handle your specific problem, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should have clearly laid out its expertise with your specific pest.
When choosing a pest control company, look for technicians with certifications in pest control methods from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. These credentials indicate that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also inquire about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Look through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to 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 most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you choose a provider from our list of East San Gabriel's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for companies with “green” certifications if you want more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about humane trapping programs that don't harm pests like mice or squirrels. Keep in mind that traditional methods might be a better option for major infestations. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control providers usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a company will return to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments might not include these reservice warranties.
Once you have determined your top pest management companies, reach out to each one to ask these questions:
Assess potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to choose the best provider to effectively take care of your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
It's important to know which pests you might come across while living in East San Gabriel. For an idea of the most prevalent pests in the city, we examined the pests discussed in around 10 million posts on social media.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're well-respected in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property once every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your home.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but must be handled by a professional. If you have any questions about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around young children and pets — or are wondering how long you have to stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Many East San Gabriel 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 a visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control 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 come spray your home 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 in other seasons and see effective results.
