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 down the top pest control companies by considering factors like customer satisfaction, industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, coverage, and more.
This is how the top companies in Hollister ranked:
Terminix is one of the largest and oldest pest control companies in the world, with many branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. The company provides effective pest control treatments that are safe for you and your family.
Terminix offers both one-off extermination services and seasonal pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the most trustworthy pest control companies in the country. Its pest control specialists must complete 160 hours of training. Plus, due to its big network, it can usually provide 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 your first visit, your technician will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have not returned. If they have, your local technicians can help
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of industry experience. The company provides expert pest control solutions for homeowners and business owners. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control branches like Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil can protect your home from the common pests in Hollister, including wasps, flies, mosquitoes, ants, crickets, cockroaches, bees, bed bugs, spiders, and moths. Depending on your location, Rentokil may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Pest control services aren't all the same when it comes to reputation, understanding, and capability. It’s important to research services to find the right one for your specific issue. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to describe how they treat your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control company, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), on top of proper state licensing. The right credentials indicate that the technicians have completed proper training. Also ask about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Take some time to 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 continual training to stay current on the most recent pest control methods. When you select an exterminator from our list of Hollister's best pest control, 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 if you want more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about gentle catch and release methods for larger animals like mice or squirrels. Keep in mind that traditional methods might be a better option for major infestations. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides that are classified as greater than 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 come back to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified your top exterminators, contact each one to ask these questions:
Thoroughly evaluate potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you select the best provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Hollister is home to several pests, from insects to wildlife. To give you an idea of the most common pests in the city, we analyzed the pests talked about in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're respected in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your house.
For the most part, pest control chemicals are safe. Even so, they have to be handled by a trained professional to ensure they’re used properly and safely. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying out of your home for a certain amount of time. This is typically 2 to 4 hours, but can be up to 24 hours.
Many Hollister 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 find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several companies for an estimate.
We recommend quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly in Hollister, where the heat can make pests more prevalent. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
