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 has narrowed down the top pest control companies so you can find the best provider for you. We analyzed pest control treatments offered, contracts, costs, state availability, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix has several hundred branches in over 22 countries and has been in business for almost 100 years. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, Watauga County Best of the Best, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix helps with many types of pests in San Jacinto, and if you aren’t satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
Started in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has become one of the most trusted in the pest control industry. It has excellent customer reviews and skilled exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Pests Orkin handles includes scorpions, silverfish, spiders, moths, fleas, mice, termites, bed bugs, yellow jackets, crickets, and more. Once the first treatment, your Orkin expert will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t come back. If they have, your local technicians can assist.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with providers across the globe and almost a century of experience in the industry. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control providers like Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
It helps with 36 of the most common pests including moths, bed bugs, cockroaches, spiders, mice, flies, rats, and more. After the initial inspection of your property, a technician will return to your property every quarter.
Not all pest control providers are the same in reputation, background, and competence. Vetting businesses helps you identify the right choice 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 handling the type of pest you have, whether it’s bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
The ideal pest management provider will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by associations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials indicate that the technicians have received proper training. You'll also want to inquire with each company about continuing training for their employees.
We highly recommend looking at customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other review sites can tell you whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of ongoing education technicians receive to stay current on the latest pest control techniques and treatment methods. When you choose an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in San Jacinto, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more eco-friendly and natural pest control solutions, look for providers that have "green" certifications. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or squirrels invading your attic, you can also ask about humane catch and release. Bear in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective. You may need to consider a more traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. The guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat at no cost if your home still has pests following the initial visit. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified a few top contending pest control companies, have conversations with each of them and come prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will help you select the most qualified provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
There are various types of pests in San Jacinto, ranging from harmless bothers to ones that can damage your home. We examined around 10 million social media posts to uncover the most common pests invading local homes.
The best pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They cover all common pests, have locations all around the nation, and have been in business for decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every two or three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
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 should stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
A pest control company exterminates unwanted bugs or animals that have infested a property. Pest control also consists of preventative measures taken to stop said pests from returning, which can happen at any point in a warm place like San Jacinto.
Many San Jacinto 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 find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control companies for an estimate.
We advise quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly in San Jacinto, where pests can be more common because of the heat. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
