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 it down to these pest control providers by comparing contracts, state availability, customer reviews, costs, pest control treatments offered, and more.
This is how they ranked:
Terminix ranks as one of the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been assisting homeowners with staying pest-free for over 90 years. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.

Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a large network of branches. It has great consumer reviews and competent pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.

Pest control companies vary in reputation, proficiency, and capability. It's important to research providers to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that has experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
When choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians that are licensed by the state and certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Having these credentials demonstrates that the technicians have adequate training. Ask the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Ensure by reading reviews 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 consistent education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you select an exterminator from our list of Orangevale's best pest control, 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” certifications. For larger pests like mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a substantial pest problem, you may need more potent traditional treatments. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control providers usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a provider will return to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice guarantees.
After selecting your top pest management services, contact each one and ask questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control companies using these questions. This will help you hire the right provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
There are a variety of pests in Orangevale, ranging from harmless annoyances to disease-carrying insects. We studied around 10 million social media conversations to identify the pests that were causing the most trouble for residents.
The top pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They help with all common pests, have many locations, and have been in the industry for a long time.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property routinely is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your house.
For the most part, the chemicals used in pest control are safe. That being said, they have to be handled by a professional exterminator to make sure they’re used properly and safely. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying away from your home for a certain period of time. This is generally 2 to 4 hours, but can be as much as 24 hours.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire a company depends on the situation. You’ll want to consider factors like how much the pest control will cost, the size of the infestation, and what chemicals need to be used. Additionally, you may want to also get professional pest control if you're concerned about safety or pets.
Many Orangevale homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several providers for an estimate.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will grow much larger when it's hotter, so pest control in the spring can help prevent you from getting too many pests later.
