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've narrowed down the best pest control companies so you can find the best provider for you. We assessed state availability, contracts, costs, customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix has several hundred branches in over 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for over 90 years. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix treats all kinds of pests in Perris, and it offers a 30-day guarantee. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
Founded in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has become one of the most reputable in the pest control industry. Its exterminators need to complete 160 hours of training. In addition, due to its large network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — service.
Pests Orkin handles includes mice, scorpions, ticks, yellow jackets, silverfish, rats, cockroaches, bees, flies, bed bugs, and more. Orkin can schedule regular follow-up visits. Also, if you have recurrent problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact a customer service representative.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of experience. The company provides professional pest control treatments for homeowners and business owners. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers including Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich, which can provide individual services.
It handles 36 of the most common pests such as cockroaches, moths, spiders, flies, mice, rats, bed bugs, and more. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pest problems after service, Rentokil will visit again until the issue is resolved.
Pest control providers vary in reputation, understanding, and capability. It's important to research companies to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of 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 indicates that the technicians have adequate training. Question the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
Peruse 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 for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive ongoing education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you select a professional from our list of Perris' best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for companies with “green” accreditations to get more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about gentle catch and release methods for larger animals like mice or snakes. Keep in mind that more potent treatments might be a better option for major infestations. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have narrowed down your top pest management companies, reach out to each one with questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will enable you to select the best provider to effectively manage your pest situation at a fair price.
Many kinds of pests find their way into Perris houses. Some are relatively harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can give homeowners anxiety. To help you identify the most commonly seen pests, we studied social media conversations and compiled a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're well known in the industry and cover all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property routinely is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your home.
Chemicals used in pest control 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 — or are wondering 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.
Many Perris 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 determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control companies for a quote.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. This is because nests and colony numbers will get much higher when it's hotter, so spraying in the spring can help prevent your home from getting too many pests later.
