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 identified the top pest control companies by comparing costs, state availability, customer reviews, and more.
This is how they ranked:
Terminix is headquartered 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 pest control techniques to exterminate pests anywhere you see them.
Terminix treats all kinds of pests in Lynwood, and if you aren’t 100% satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified exterminator will take a look at your situation and detail a suitable control plan.
If you need fast pest control service in Lynwood, consider Orkin. Founded in 1901, Orkin has become one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Because of its vast network, Orkin can provide same-day or next-day service.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify problem pests and areas and develop 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 assist
Rentokil has been helping homeowners remove common pests for over 90 years. The global brand owns the North American pest control companies J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both eliminating current pests and preventing future infestations. The company guarantees satisfaction with its treatments. If you still have pest problems after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Pest control businesses vary in credibility, expertise, and skill. It's important to research services to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
Look for pest control companies that employ technicians with certifications in pest control methods from reputable industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Having the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about ongoing educational requirements.
Before booking an appointment, browse online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to see which providers have a reputation for providing positive experiences and effective services. Also check for any complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Ask about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you select a professional from our list of Lynwood's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for providers that specialize in “green” certified solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or other burrowing rodents. Keep in mind that natural options may be less effective for serious infestations, and if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control providers usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a provider will return to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice guarantees.
After selecting your top pest control companies, reach out to each one with questions such as these:
Carefully review potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you select the best provider to safely and effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable price.
You should be aware of the pests you're bound to encounter as a resident of Lynwood. To help you identify the most problematic pests, we examined social media conversations and created a list of the ones mentioned the most.
The best pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They help with all common pests, have locations all around the country, and have been in business for decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every quarter or every two to three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from coming back.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but must 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 should stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
A pest control company exterminates unwanted bugs or animals that have infested your property. Pest control also consists of preventative measures taken to stop those pests from returning, which can happen at any point in a warm place like Lynwood.
In a city like Lynwood, where the cost of living is really high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. How much pest control costs varies depending on several factors, such as what type of pests you have an issue with and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, while a quarterly treatment plan is usually cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or even bi-monthly pest control treatments are recommended. If you have a more serious infestation, however, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the issue is resolved.
