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 several factors like industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, customer service, coverage, and more.
Here’s how we ranked them:
Terminix has several hundred branches in more than 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for about 100 years. It utilizes the latest pest control techniques to get rid of pests no matter where you find them.
Terminix offers both one-off extermination services and routine pest control. Plus, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. Due to its large network, Orkin can offer same-day or next-day service.
Orkin offers an expert property inspection to identify problem pests and areas and draw up treatment plan. After the initial treatment, your Orkin exterminator will follow up to check that the pests haven’t come back. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest pest control company, which owns hundreds of brands worldwide. The well-known brand owns the North American pest control companies Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil and its partners handle the following pests: spiders, wasps, ants, crickets, mosquitoes, flies, bed bugs, moths, cockroaches, and bees. The company guarantees satisfaction with its treatments. If you still have pests after service, Rentokil will visit again until the issue is resolved.
Pest control services vary in reputation, understanding, and capability. It's important to research services to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control company:
Choose a pest control company that is equipped to handle your specific problem, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should clearly describe on their website its expertise with your specific pest.
The ideal exterminator will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by organizations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials show that the technicians have received proper training. You'll also want to question each company about continuing training for their employees.
Peruse reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before scheduling a pest control appointment. Ensure by reading reviews that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive consistent education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you choose a company from our list of Yucaipa's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more natural, eco-friendly pest control solutions, look for providers that have "green" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or raccoons nesting in trees, you can also ask about humane catch and release. Bear in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective; consider a more traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will return and re-treat your home at no cost if there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't come with reservice guarantees.
After picking your top pest control companies, call each one and ask questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will enable you to choose the best provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
Many types of pests like to find their way into Yucaipa houses. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can cause anxiety. We analyzed around 10 million posts on social media to identify the pests that were causing the most trouble for residents.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're highly regarded in the industry and cover all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property regularly is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your house.
For the most part, the chemicals used in pest control are safe. However, they have to be handled by a trained exterminator to ensure they’re used safely. After your house has been sprayed, your exterminator will recommend staying away from your home for a certain period of time. This is typically 2 to 4 hours, but can be a maximum of 24 hours.
Many Yucaipa 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 per visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control 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 come spray your house is in the spring before 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.
