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 took into consideration several factors including customer service, industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, coverage, and more.
Here’s how the top companies ranked:
Terminix has 300 branches in more than 22 countries and has been in business for over 90 years. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix is widely known for its specialty termite services, but they take care of much more than that. Their other services include: spiders, cockroaches, rodents, mosquitoes, ticks, ants, and wildlife control including raccoons, skunks, opossums, squirrels, and more. Terminix’s general pest regimen includes a home inspection and preliminary treatment, with three additional treatments over the course of a year.
Orkin has been in the industry for over 100 years. Its exterminators need to undergo 160 hours of training. And, due to its big network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin takes care of many common pests, including silverfish, cockroaches, spiders, and ants. After the first treatment, your Orkin specialist will follow up to check that the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has close to a century’s worth of experience exterminating pests. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control providers like Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil and its partners handle the following pests: crickets, cockroaches, moths, flies, spiders, ants, bed bugs, mosquitoes, wasps, and bees. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pest problems after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Not all pest control services are the same when it comes to reputation, qualifications, and effectiveness. It's important to do your research to determine the right option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control provider:
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 clearly describe on their website its expertise with your specific pest.
When choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), on top of proper state licensing. These credentials indicate that the technicians have completed proper training. Also ask about required training hours and continuing education.
Before scheduling an appointment, spend time reading online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to see which providers have a proven track record of providing positive experiences and effective services. Also check for complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Ask about ongoing training at the company as well as how its technicians stay up to date on the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you choose an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Federal Heights, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for providers offering “green” accreditation. For bigger animals such as mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a moderate to serious pest problem, you may need more potent traditional treatments. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control provides usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will return and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments may not have reservice guarantees.
Once you have narrowed down your top exterminators, reach out to each one with questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly review 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.
Federal Heights is home to a number of pests, from wildlife to insects. To help you prepare for the most problematic pests, we studied posts on social media and compiled a list of the ones mentioned the most.
The best pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, service many locations, and have been in business for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every two or three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from coming back.
A pest control company exterminates unwanted insects or animals that have infested your property. Pest control also includes preventative measures taken to stop those pests from returning, which can happen at any point in Federal Heights, but usually during the warm summers.
Many Federal Heights 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.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’d just like preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your home is in the spring before nest and colony numbers get too high when it's warmer. But it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
