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 companies, we compared factors such as types of pest control treatments offered, industry experience, customer service, coverage, and more.
This is how we ranked the top pest control companies in Lafayette:
Terminix ranks in the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses stay pest-free 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 NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they take care of much more than just that. Their other services include: mosquitoes, ticks, ants, cockroaches, rodents, spiders, and wildlife control including squirrels, skunks, raccoons, opossums, and more. Along with pest control, Terminix provides services, such as moisture control, attic insulation, home disinfection services, and mechanical exclusion.
Orkin has been in the business for over 100 years. Its pest control specialists have to undergo 160 hours of training. And, because of its big network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin’s typical pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. Once the first treatment, your Orkin expert will follow up to check that the pests haven’t come back. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has close to 100 years’ worth of experience protecting residents from pests. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few regional pest control branches like Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners deal with the following pests: wasps, ants, crickets, spiders, bed bugs, mosquitoes, bees, cockroaches, flies, and moths. Rentokil’s services cover preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Pest control services vary in reputation, understanding, and effectiveness. 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 professional:
It's best to choose a pest control company that can effectively address your specific problem, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should have clearly laid out its expertise with your specific pest.
When choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians that have the proper state licensing and are certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Possessing these credentials demonstrates that a technician has adequate training. Inquire with the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
We advise looking at customer reviews prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites can tell you whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of ongoing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you choose a company from our list of the top pest control in Lafayette, 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 larger pests like 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 major infestations. If you have a moderate to serious pest problem, you may need more effective traditional methods. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control professionals usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a company will return to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have reduced your options to your top pest control providers, contact each one with questions such as:
Carefully review potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you select the right provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Which pests you see depends on where you live. In Lafayette, there are several that residents have to deal with. To help you prepare for the most common pests, we studied posts on social media and made a list of the ones mentioned the most.
The top pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They can treat all common pests, have locations nationwide, and have been in the industry for decades.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your home.
Pest control involves exterminating unwanted bugs like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or wildlife from your property. When you hire a pest control company, a professional will do an inspection. Then they will use various methods to remove the pests and prevent them from returning, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
In a town like Lafayette, where the cost of living is noticeably high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. The cost of pest control varies based on several factors, such as what kind of pests are troubling you and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, while a quarterly treatment plan is typically cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
For apartments and homes, quarterly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the problem is resolved.
