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:
When ranking these pest control providers, we compared factors such as coverage, customer service, types of pest control treatments offered, industry experience, and more.
Here’s how Templeton’s top providers ranked:
Terminix has 300 branches in more than 22 countries and has been in business for about 100 years. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix handles all kinds of pest issues for residential and commercial customers. These include raccoons, rodents, opossums, spiders, ants, termites, and roaches. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the most reputable pest control companies in the country. Due to its vast network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin can protect your property from many common pests, including spiders, ants, silverfish, and cockroaches. After the initial treatment, your Orkin exterminator will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with providers across the globe and close to a century of experience in the industry. The brand owns the North American pest control providers Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
It protects from 36 of the most common pests including flies, moths, rats, cockroaches, mice, spiders, bed bugs, and more. Its services consist of preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control companies are equal when it comes to credibility, knowledge, and competence. It's important to do your research to determine the right option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
When selecting a pest control provider, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. These credentials indicate that the technicians have completed proper training. Also ask about required training hours and continuing education.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before scheduling a pest control appointment. Confirm through customer feedback 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 continuing regular education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you choose a provider from our list of Templeton'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 companies that promote “green” certified solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or squirrels in your attic. Keep in mind that natural options may be less effective for serious infestations; if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control companies usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will come back and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is handled. One-time treatments might not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have determined your top exterminators, contact each one with these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the best provider to safely and successfully eliminate your pest problem at a fair price.
Different pests show up in different places. In Templeton, there are several that residents may deal with. For an idea of the most prevalent pests in the city, we studied the pests mentioned in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're highly regarded in the industry and cover all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every two or three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from coming back.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire an exterminator depends on your situation. You’ll want to take into consideration factors like how much the pest control will cost, the size of the infestation, and what chemicals need to be used. In addition, you may want to also get professional pest control if you're concerned about safety or pets.
Pest control involves exterminating unwanted bugs like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or animals from your property. When you hire a pest control company, an exterminator will do an inspection. Then they will use various techniques to remove the pests and stop them from coming back, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Templeton 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 contacting several companies for a quote.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or even bi-monthly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may need to get monthly treatments for a few months until the infestation is resolved.
