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:
We narrowed down the top pest control providers by considering factors like industry experience, coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, customer satisfaction, and more.
Here’s how Berthoud’s top providers ranked:
Terminix has 300 branches in more than 22 countries and has been in business for about 100 years. The company provides cutting-edge pest control treatments that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix deals with all kinds of pest issues for residential and commercial customers. These include raccoons, termites, rodents, opossums, roaches, spiders, and ants. In addition to pest control, Terminix provides services, such as attic insulation, mechanical exclusion, home disinfection services, and moisture control.
If you need immediate pest control service in Berthoud, consider Orkin. Founded in 1901, Orkin has become one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Due to its vast network, Orkin can provide next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin handles many common pests, including ants, cockroaches, silverfish, and spiders. After the initial visit, your pest control specialist will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have not returned. If they have, your local technicians can assist
Rentokil, a business service group, is the world's largest and most widely recognized pest control company, which is made up of hundreds of brands worldwide. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers such as Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator, which can provide tailored services.
Rentokil can protect your home from the common pests in Berthoud, including bed bugs, flies, moths, crickets, cockroaches, spiders, ants, mosquitoes, bees, and wasps. After the initial inspection and treatment of your property, a technician will treat your property as often as your contract states.
Pest control providers vary in credibility, knowledge, and effectiveness. It's important to research businesses to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that is able to handle the type of pest you have, whether it’s roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to describe how they treat your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control company, look for technicians that are licensed by the state and certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Obtaining these credentials indicates that a technician has adequate training. Question the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
Read through 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 a positive customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any 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 the top pest control in Berthoud, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more eco-friendly and natural pest control solutions, look for companies that have "green" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or raccoons nesting in trees, you can also inquire about humane catch and release. Bear in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective; consider the traditional route for a more serious infestation. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the company will make another visit and re-treat for free if you still have pests in your home following the initial visit. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have determined your top exterminators, contact each one to ask these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to choose the best provider to effectively control your pest situation at a fair price.
Which pests you may see depends on where you live. In Berthoud, there are a few different ones that residents have to deal with. We examined around 10 million social media conversations to identify the pests that were causing the most trouble for residents.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies in Berthoud are Terminix and Orkin. They're highly regarded 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 house once every two or three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
Pest control chemicals are safe but need 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 — or are wondering how long you should stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Many Berthoud 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 a visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several companies for a quote.
We recommend quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly if needed. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
