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:
Our team at Today's Homeowner narrowed it down to these pest control providers by comparing costs, state availability, customer reviews, contracts, pest control treatments offered, and more.
This is how we ranked them:
Terminix is one of the biggest and oldest pest control companies in the world, with many branches across the United States and 22 other countries. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, Watauga County Best of the Best, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix helps with many types of pests in Dakota Ridge, and it offers a 30-day guarantee. Terminix’s typical pest regimen includes a home inspection and initial treatment, with three additional treatments during the year.
Started in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has evolved into one of the most reputable in the pest control industry. Its exterminators need to complete 160 hours of training. Additionally, due to its big network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin offers a professional property inspection to identify issues and develop an appropriate treatment plan. After the first treatment, your Orkin specialist will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of industry experience. The company provides professional pest control treatments all around the world. The global brand owns the North American pest control providers J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil and its partners deal with the following pests: bed bugs, moths, wasps, spiders, flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, bees, crickets, and ants. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pest problems after service, Rentokil will visit again until the issue is resolved.
Pest control businesses vary in reputation, understanding, and skill. 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 professional:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should clearly lay out its area of expertise.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from expert organizations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Holding the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about continuing education opportunities.
Read online reviews on Google and Yelp before scheduling a pest control appointment. This can help you confirm whether the company consistently provides quality service and positive experiences. Also check the Better Business Bureau for any complaints. Ask the provider whether technicians receive ongoing regular training to stay current on the most recent pest control methods. When you select a provider from our list of Dakota Ridge's best pest control, 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 other rodents coming inside, you can also ask about humane catch and release methods. Bear in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective. You may need to consider the traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control professionals usually offer service warranties 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 initial treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified your top exterminators, contact each one to ask these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will enable you to select a qualified provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
Dakota Ridge is home to several pests, from insects to wildlife. We studied around 10 million online conversations to identify which pests were causing the most trouble for residents.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're well known 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 home once every quarter. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
The key to finding the best exterminator for you is to get in touch with several companies and get estimates from them. You should also make sure you read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Dakota Ridge 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 getting in touch with several pest control companies for a quote.
If you already have a serious pest 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 home is in the spring before colony numbers get too high when it's warmer. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
