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 coverage, industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, customer service, and more.
Here’s how North Auburn’s top providers ranked:
Terminix ranks as one of the top four pest control companies in the world, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses stay pest-free for over 90 years. With this breadth of experience, you can see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix has both one-off extermination services and routine pest control. In addition, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Along with pest control, Terminix has services, such as mechanical exclusion, attic insulation, home disinfection services, and moisture control.
If you need fast pest control service in North Auburn, consider Orkin. Since 1901, Orkin has become one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Due to its vast network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Pests Orkin handles includes bed bugs, spiders, carpenter ants, yellow jackets, silverfish, moths, centipedes, hornets, wasps, termites, and more. Once the first treatment, your Orkin expert will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with branches across the world and nearly 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 offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control specialist will focus on both eliminating current pests and preventing future infestations. Its treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Not all pest control services are equal when it comes to credibility, proficiency, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the ideal option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control company:
You should choose a pest control company that can effectively address your specific problem, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should have clearly laid out its expertise with your specific pest.
When selecting a pest control company, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, like 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 continuing education policies and total training hours.
We advise checking out customer reviews prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of continuing education technicians receive to stay current on the latest pest control techniques and treatment methods. When you select an exterminator from our list of North Auburn's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that 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 larger pests like mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a moderate to serious pest problem, you may need stronger traditional methods. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control provides usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will come back and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments might not include reservice guarantees.
After selecting your top pest management services, contact each one with questions such as these:
Thoroughly evaluate potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you hire the best provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
North Auburn is home to various pests, from wildlife to insects. We studied around 10 million online discussions to determine which pests people in different places had problems with the most.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're respected in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
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 other wildlife from coming back.
Pest control chemicals are safe but must 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 have to stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
The key to finding the best exterminator for you is to contact several companies and get quotes from them. You should also be sure you read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many North Auburn homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several providers for a quote.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’d just like preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your home is in the spring before colony numbers get too high when it's warmer. But it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
