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:
The team at Today's Homeowner narrowed it down to these pest control providers by comparing state availability, pest control treatments offered, customer reviews, costs, contracts, and more.
Here’s how we ranked them:
Terminix has several hundred branches in more than 22 countries and has been in business for almost 100 years. With this breadth of experience, you can see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix offers both one-time extermination services and seasonal pest control. Plus, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified technician will assess your situation and provide a suitable control plan.
If you need fast pest control service in Hemet, Orkin could be the company for you. Since 1901, Orkin has grown to be one of the largest pest control companies in the country. It has positive customer reviews and competent pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify problem pests and areas and develop an appropriate treatment plan. After the initial treatment, your Orkin exterminator will follow up to check that the pests haven’t come back. If they have, your local technicians can assist.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners rid themselves of common pests for over 90 years. The global brand owns the North American pest control providers J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil and its partners handle the following pests: bees, cockroaches, flies, bed bugs, moths, crickets, spiders, mosquitoes, wasps, and ants. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pest problems after service, Rentokil will visit again until the issue is resolved.
Not all pest control businesses are equal when it comes to credibility, proficiency, and competence. It's important to do your research to determine the best option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from qualified industry groups, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Holding the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about continuing education opportunities.
Read 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 ongoing regular training to stay current on the latest pest control methods. When you select a company from our list of the top pest control in Hemet, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for providers that have “green” certifications to get more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about humane trapping programs that don't harm pests like mice or snakes. Keep in mind that stronger solutions might be a better option for significant infestations. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must 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 you still have pests in your home after the initial treatment. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
After selecting your top exterminators, contact each one with questions such as these:
Evaluate potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to choose the right provider to effectively solve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Pests vary by location. In Hemet, there are a few different ones that residents have to deal with. So you can have an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we reviewed the pests mentioned in around 10 million social media posts.
The top pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, service locations nationwide, and have been in the industry for decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every quarter. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
Pest control chemicals are safe but have to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions or concerns about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — or are wondering how long you have to stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Many Hemet 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 per visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several providers for an estimate.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will grow much larger when it's hotter, so spraying in the spring can help prevent you from getting too many pests later.
