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 narrowed it down to these pest control companies by analyzing costs, pest control treatments offered, state availability, customer reviews, contracts, and more.
This is how we ranked the top pest control companies in Tulare:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of pest control industry experience. The company offers professional pest control services that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix offers both one-time extermination services and seasonal pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified exterminator will take a look at your situation and give you a suitable control plan.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its exterminators must undergo 160 hours of training. Plus, due to its large network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify problem pests and areas and develop a suitable treatment plan. Orkin can arrange regular follow-up visits. Also, if you have recurrent problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service line.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of industry experience. The company provides professional pest control treatments for homeowners and business owners. The brand owns the North American pest control providers Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both getting rid of current pests and preventing future infestations. Its services include preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control services are the identical in reputation, qualifications, and effectiveness. Vetting providers helps you identify the right choice for your pest situation. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control professional:
It's best to choose a pest control company that is equipped to handle your specific problem, whether it's bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its expertise with your specific pest.
Look for pest control companies that employ technicians with certifications in pest control methods from qualified industry groups, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Having the proper credentials indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about regular training updates.
We suggest checking out customer reviews prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and has happy customers. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of continuing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you choose an exterminator from our list of Tulare'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 providers that specialize in “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. If you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat for free if you still have pests in your home following the initial visit. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
After selecting your top pest management services, call each one and ask questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose 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 Tulare residences. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can give homeowners anxiety. We generated a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing which pests were frequently mentioned on social media sites.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're respected in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your home.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire an exterminator depends on your situation. You’ll want to take into consideration factors like the size of the infestation, how much the pest control will cost, and what chemicals need to be used. Additionally, you may want to also look into professional pest control if you're concerned about safety.
Pest control involves removing unwanted insects like termites, rodents, and other unwanted bugs or wildlife from your property. When you hire a pest control company, a professional exterminator will come and inspect your property. Then they will use various techniques to remove the pests and prevent them from returning, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Tulare 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 getting in touch with several pest control providers for an estimate.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will get much higher as it gets warmer, so spraying in the spring can help prevent your home from getting too many pests later.
