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 Today's Homeowner team narrowed down the top pest control providers by comparing factors like industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, customer satisfaction, coverage, and more.
This is how we ranked the top pest control companies in Soledad:
Terminix is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries around the globe. It has also been in the industry for nearly 100 years. With the amount of experience the company has, you can see why Terminix is one of the top companies in the country.
Terminix offers both one-off extermination services and routine pest control. In addition, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. Terminix’s general pest regimen includes a home inspection and initial treatment, followed by three seasonal treatments during the year.
Orkin Pest Control is based in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the longest-running pest control companies with a large network of branches. It has positive customer reviews and competent pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin deals with many common pests, such as silverfish, cockroaches, spiders, and ants. Once the initial treatment, your Orkin exterminator will follow up to check that the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can assist.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with branches across the globe and nearly a century of experience in the industry. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control companies in North America. These include J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil and its partners deal with the following pests: crickets, flies, bees, spiders, bed bugs, cockroaches, ants, wasps, moths, and mosquitoes. Rentokil’s services consist of preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Pest control providers aren't all identical when it comes to reputation, expertise, and competence. It’s important to research services to find the right one for your specific issue. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that focuses their business on the pest you have, like roaches, bed bugs, termites, or rodents. The company should explain their process for treating your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from expert organizations, 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. You'll also want to ask about ongoing educational requirements.
Take some time to read online reviews on Google and Yelp before scheduling a pest control appointment. This can help you confirm whether the company consistently provides quality service and positive experiences. Also check the Better Business Bureau for any complaints. Ask the provider whether technicians receive continual training to stay current on the most up-to-date pest control methods. When you select a professional from our list of the top pest control in Soledad, 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 providers offering “green” certifications. For larger pests like mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a substantial pest problem, you may need more potent 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.
Reputable pest control companies usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a provider will make another visit to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments might not include these reservice warranties.
Once you have determined your top pest management companies, contact each one to ask these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control providers 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.
A variety of pests can find their way into Soledad houses. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can cause anxiety. For an idea of the most common pests in the city, we studied the pests talked about in around 10 million social media posts.
The best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They help with all common pests, have many locations, and have been in the industry for a long time.
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. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from returning.
Pest control involves getting rid of unwanted insects like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or animals from your home. When you hire a pest control company, a professional exterminator will do an inspection. Then they will use various techniques to get rid of the pests and prevent them from coming back, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Soledad homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually 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 pest control companies for an estimate.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’re just interested in preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional spray your home 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.
