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 customer satisfaction, coverage, industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how we ranked them:
Terminix is one of the top four pest control companies in the world, and it has been assisting homeowners with staying pest-free for over 90 years. The company offers cutting-edge pest control services that are safe for your family.
Terminix helps with dozens of pests in Lone Tree, and if you’re not 100% satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Terminix’s typical pest regimen consists of a home inspection and preliminary treatment, with three seasonal treatments over the course of a year.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the most trustworthy pest control companies in the country. Its pest control specialists complete 160 hours of training. In addition, due to its big network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Pests Orkin deals with includes silverfish, bees, bed bugs, mice, yellow jackets, wasps, earwigs, rats, fleas, carpenter ants, and more. 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 getting rid of pests. The brand owns the North American pest control providers Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
It helps with 36 of the most common pests including flies, moths, cockroaches, spiders, rats, bed bugs, mice, and more. Rentokil’s treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Pest control providers vary in reputation, expertise, and effectiveness. It's important to research businesses to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control provider:
It's recommended to look for a pest control company that primarily handles the pest you have, like bed bugs, termites, roaches, or rodents. The company should explain their process for treating your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies that employ technicians with certifications in pest control methods from qualified industry groups, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Having the proper credentials indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about ongoing educational requirements.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before scheduling a pest control appointment. Confirm through customer feedback that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive ongoing education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you select an exterminator from our list of Lone Tree's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for companies that promote “green” certified solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or squirrels in your attic. Keep in mind that natural options may be less effective for serious infestations. If you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need stronger traditional methods. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control professionals usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will come back and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments may not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have compiled a list of a few highly reviewed exterminator services, reach out to each one and be prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Thoroughly evaluate potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you hire the right provider to safely and effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Lone Tree is home to a number of pests, from wildlife to insects. We reviewed around 10 million social media conversations to uncover the most common pests plaguing local homes.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. 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 two or three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
The key to finding the right pest control company for you is to contact multiple companies and get quotes from them. You should also be sure you read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Lone Tree homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several providers for an estimate.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you just want preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional 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 any other season and see effective results.
