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:
Today's Homeowner identified the top pest control companies by comparing costs, customer reviews, state availability, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries worldwide. It has also been in business for about 100 years. The company provides effective pest control treatments that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix helps with dozens of pests in Wildomar, and it offers a 30-day guarantee. In addition to pest control, Terminix offers services, including moisture control, home disinfection services, attic insulation, and mechanical exclusion.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a expansive network of branches. Its pest control specialists must complete 160 hours of training. Additionally, due to its big network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin deals with many common pests, including cockroaches, silverfish, spiders, and ants. Orkin can book regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurrent pest problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service.
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with providers across the world and almost a century of experience in the industry. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control providers in North America. These include Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners deal with the following pests: moths, crickets, ants, flies, cockroaches, spiders, bees, wasps, bed bugs, and mosquitoes. Rentokil’s treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Not all pest control services are the identical in credibility, skill set, and competence. Researching businesses helps you identify the right choice for your pest issue. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that has experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from qualified industry groups, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Possessing the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about ongoing educational requirements.
Before booking an appointment, spend time reading online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a proven track record of providing positive experiences and effective services. Also check for complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Ask about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you select a provider from our list of Wildomar'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 other burrowing rodents. 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 stronger traditional methods. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control companies usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a company will come back to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have narrowed down your top pest control providers, reach out to each one to ask questions such as:
Carefully review potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the best provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
It's important to be aware of the pests you could come across while living in Wildomar. We studied around 10 million online discussions to determine which pests people in different places had problems with the most.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies in Wildomar are Orkin and Terminix. They're well-respected in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every quarter or every two to three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but have 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 — and how long you have to stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Many Wildomar homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several providers for a quote.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you just want 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. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
