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 comparing customer reviews, costs, state availability, pest control treatments offered, contracts, and more.
Here’s how we ranked them:
Terminix ranks in the top four pest control companies in the world, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses with their pest problems for over 90 years. It utilizes the latest pest control techniques to eliminate insects and unwanted wildlife no matter where they are.
Terminix treats dozens of pests in Mountain House, and it offers a 30-day guarantee. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified exterminator will assess your situation and outline a suitable control plan.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the most reputable pest control companies in the country. Its exterminators need to complete 160 hours of training. Plus, due to its big network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin’s most popular pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin can set up regular follow-up visits. Also, if you have recurrent pest problems or any other urgent pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service line.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners remove common pests for over 90 years. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control branches like Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both eliminating current pests and preventing future infestations. After the initial inspection of your home, a technician will treat your property every quarter.
Not all pest control companies are the same in reputation, skill set, and competence. Evaluating businesses helps you identify the right choice for your pest issue. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should be able to provide an overview of how they treat your type of 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 show that the technicians have completed proper training. Also ask about required training hours and continuing education.
Look through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before booking a pest control appointment. Ensure by reading reviews that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive ongoing education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you select a company from our list of Mountain House'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 offering “green” accreditations 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 stronger methods might be a better option for significant infestations. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will come back and re-treat your home at no cost if there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have narrowed down your top pest management companies, contact each one with questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will help you choose the best provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
Many types of pests end up finding their way into Mountain House homes. Some are relatively harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can cause anxiety. We reviewed around 10 million social media posts to determine the most common pests in the city.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies in Mountain House are Orkin and Terminix. They're respected in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
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 other wildlife from coming inside your house.
The key to finding the best pest control company for you is to contact multiple companies and get estimates from them. You should also make sure you read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Pest control involves removing unwanted insects like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or animals from your property. When you hire a pest control company, a professional exterminator will come and inspect your property. Then they will use various methods to get rid of the pests and stop them from coming back, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Mountain House 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 figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several companies for a quote.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’re just interested in preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional spray your home is in the spring before colony numbers get too high in the hotter part of the year. But it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
