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 including customer service, types of pest control treatments offered, industry experience, coverage, and more.
This is how the top companies in Windsor ranked:
Terminix ranks in the top four pest control companies in the world, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses stay pest-free for over 90 years. Terminix has received several awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix provides both one-time extermination services and routine pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Terminix’s typical pest regimen consists of a home inspection and preliminary treatment, with three additional treatments over the course of a year.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. Due to its vast network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin offers a professional property inspection to identify issues and draw up a suitable treatment plan. Orkin can book regular follow-up visits. Also, if you have recurrent problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners get rid of common pests for over 90 years. The global brand owns the North American pest control companies J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
It deals with 36 of the most common pests including mice, moths, rats, flies, bed bugs, cockroaches, spiders, and more. After the initial inspection of your home, a technician will return to your property every four months.
Not all pest control providers are identical when it comes to credibility, proficiency, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the right option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control professional:
It's recommended to look for a pest control company that focuses their business on the pest you have, like roaches, bed bugs, termites, or rodents. The company should explain their process for treating your type of pest.
The ideal exterminator will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by groups like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials show that the technicians have received proper training. You'll also want to inquire with each company about ongoing education for their employees.
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 for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive consistent education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you choose a provider from our list of Windsor's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for companies with “green” certifications. For bigger animals such as mice or squirrels, 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 considerable pest problem, you may need more potent traditional methods. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to 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 free of charge if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice warranties.
Once you have reduced your options to your top pest control providers, reach out to each one to ask questions such as:
Analyze potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you select the right provider to safely and effectively get rid of your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Windsor is home to several pests, from wildlife to insects. We studied around 10 million online discussions to uncover the most common pests plaguing local homes.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies in Windsor are Orkin and Terminix. They're well known in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every quarter. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from coming back.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take time to do thorough research. We recommend getting quotes from multiple companies and looking at reviews to help determine which company is the best for you.
Whether you should do DIY pest control or hire an exterminator depends on the situation. You’ll want to take into consideration factors like what chemicals need to be used, the size of the infestation, and how much the pest control will cost. In addition, you may want to also look into professional pest control if you're concerned about safety or pets.
In a city like Windsor, where the cost of living is above average compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. The cost of pest control varies based on several factors, including what type of pests are infesting your home and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, but a quarterly treatment plan is typically cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’re just interested in 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 in other seasons and see effective results.
