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:
When ranking these pest control providers, we considered several factors such as industry experience, customer service, types of pest control treatments offered, coverage, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies ranked in Moorpark:
Terminix is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries worldwide. It has also been in the industry for almost 100 years. The company provides professional pest control services that are safe for your family.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they exterminate much more than that. Their other services include: spiders, cockroaches, ticks, ants, rodents, mosquitoes, and wildlife control such as skunks, raccoons, opossums, squirrels, and more. Along with pest control, Terminix offers other services, including mechanical exclusion, moisture control, home disinfection services, and attic insulation.
If you need fast pest control service in Moorpark, Orkin could be a good company for you. Since 1901, Orkin has become one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its pest control specialists must complete 160 hours of training. In addition, due to its large network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify issues and develop an appropriate treatment plan. After your first visit, your pest control specialist will follow up regularly to make sure that the pests have not returned. If they have, your local technicians can assist
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with branches across the globe and almost a century of experience in the industry. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers like Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich, which provide individual services.
Rentokil deals with the common pests in Moorpark, including bed bugs, bees, ants, flies, cockroaches, wasps, spiders, moths, mosquitoes, and crickets. Depending on the city, Rentokil may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control services are the same when it comes to reputation, proficiency, and capability. 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 hiring a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that specializes in treating the pest you have, like roaches, bed bugs, termites, or rodents. The company should explain their process for treating your type of pest.
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. Having the proper credentials indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about ongoing educational requirements.
Peruse reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before booking a pest control appointment. Confirm through customer feedback that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive continuing regular education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you select a provider from our list of the top pest control in Moorpark, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for companies with “green” accreditation. For bigger animals such as mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a considerable pest problem, you may need stronger traditional methods. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat at no cost if you still have pests in your home after the initial visit. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have reduced your options to your top exterminators, reach out to each one with questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will help you hire the best provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
You should be aware of the pests you could see as a resident of Moorpark. To give you an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we examined the pests mentioned in around 10 million social media posts.
The best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They cover all common pests, have locations nationwide, and have been in business for decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every quarter. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from returning.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but have to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — and how long you need to stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Many Moorpark 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 determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for an estimate.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or even bi-monthly pest control treatments are recommended. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the problem is resolved.
