Today's Homeowner looks at dozens of datapoints on pest 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:
Looking for a pest control company with nation-wide expertise? Here are our top picks:
Terminix's headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries globally. It has also been in business for about 100 years. It uses the latest technology in pest control to rid your home of pests anywhere you see them.
Terminix exterminates all kinds of pest issues for homeowners and business owners. These include termites, spiders, rodents, raccoons, ants, opossums, and roaches. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
Orkin has been in the business for over 100 years. Orkin educates customers on its pest control process and treatments by outlining it in several articles and videos on the company's website.
Orkin's most common pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. After the initial treatment is done, your Orkin specialist will follow up to make sure the pests haven't come back and, if so, they can assist you with that.
Escondido is home to various pests, from insects to wildlife. We compiled a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing which pests were often posted about on social media.
The best pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They cover all common pests, have many locations, and have been in business for a long time.
The key to finding the right exterminator for you is to contact multiple companies and get quotes from them. You should also make sure to read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
There are some pests you can control yourself. For example, if you see some ants or a stray spider, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some infestations warrant bringing in the professionals. If you have a big infestation, you don't know what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company, especially if you have young children.
Many Escondido homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 a 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 pest control companies for a quote.
We advise quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly in Escondido where pests can crop up more often because of the heat. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
