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:
We narrowed it down to these pest control providers by analyzing customer reviews, state availability, contracts, costs, pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how Fairview’s top providers ranked:
Terminix is one of the largest and oldest pest control companies in the world, with 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, Watauga County Best of the Best, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix’s specialty is termites, but they exterminate much more than just that. Their other services include: spiders, mosquitoes, cockroaches, rodents, ants, ticks, and wildlife control such as opossums, squirrels, raccoons, skunks, and more. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
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. It has positive customer reviews and skilled pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin’s most common pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. After the initial treatment, your Orkin specialist will follow up to check that the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners remove common pests for over 90 years. The well-known brand owns the North American pest control providers Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control specialist will focus on both getting rid of existing pests and preventing future infestations. The company guarantees satisfaction with its treatments. If you still have pests after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Not all pest control providers are the same when it comes to reputation, expertise, and effectiveness. It's important to do your research to determine the most suitable option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control company:
You should choose a pest control company that can effectively address 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 selecting 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. Solid credentials indicate that the technicians have completed proper training. Also ask 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 a positive customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive continuing regular education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you select a provider from our list of the top pest control in Fairview, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for companies with “green” accreditations to get 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 more potent solutions might be a better option for significant infestations. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. The guarantees mean the company will come back and re-treat at no cost if your home still has pests after the initial visit. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected your top exterminators, contact each one and ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the right provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
Fairview is home to various pests, from wildlife to insects. Our team examined around 10 million social media conversations to identify the pests that are the biggest headache in the area.
The best pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, service many locations, and have been in business for a long time.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property regularly is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your house.
Whether you should do DIY pest control or hire a company depends on your situation. You’ll want to consider factors like how much the pest control will cost, what chemicals need to be used, and the size of the infestation. Additionally, you may want to also look into professional pest control if you're concerned about safety.
Many Fairview 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 find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several providers for a quote.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should seek 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 any other season and see effective results.
