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 companies by analyzing contracts, state availability, pest control treatments offered, costs, customer reviews, and more.
This is how we ranked them:
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 about 100 years. With this breadth of experience, it’s easy to see why Terminix is one of the top companies in the country.
Terminix provides both one-off extermination services and seasonal pest control. Plus, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified pest control expert will take a look at your situation and outline a suitable control plan.
Started in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has grown to be one of the most reputable in the pest control industry. Its pest control specialists must undergo 160 hours of training. Additionally, due to its big network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin’s most popular pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin’s most common pest control service is also quarterly, so your home will be treated several times during the year.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has nearly 100 years’ worth of experience handling pests. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers such as J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X, which can provide individual services.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both exterminating existing pests and preventing future infestations. Depending on your location, the pest control company may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Pest control providers vary in reputation, expertise, and capability. It's important to research companies to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that has experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, 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. Holding the proper credentials indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about regular training updates.
We highly recommend checking out customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and similar sites can tell you whether a company consistently provides quality service and has happy customers. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of continuing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you select a provider from our list of Orangevale'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 services that use “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or raccoons nesting nearby. 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) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. The guarantees mean the company will come back and re-treat for free if your home still has pests after the initial visit. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have reduced your options to your top pest management companies, reach out to each one with questions such as:
Thoroughly evaluate potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you select the best provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
A variety of pests like to find their way into Orangevale homes. Some are relatively harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can cause anxiety. To help you identify the most commonly seen pests, we analyzed social media conversations and created a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Orangevale are Orkin and Terminix. They're highly regarded in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property once every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your house.
Pest control chemicals are safe but need 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 home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire an exterminator depends on your situation. You’ll want to take into consideration factors like what chemicals need to be used, how much the pest control will cost, and the size of the infestation. In addition, you may want to also get professional pest control if you're concerned about safety or pets.
In a city like Orangevale, 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 based on several factors, such as what type of pests are infesting your home and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, while a quarterly treatment plan is typically cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should get 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 house is in the spring before nest and 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 in other seasons and see effective results.
