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:
The team at Today's Homeowner identified the top pest control companies by comparing state availability, customer reviews, costs, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of experience in the pest control business. 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’s specialty is termites, but they exterminate much more than that. Their other services include: rodents, ants, cockroaches, spiders, mosquitoes, ticks, and wildlife control such as raccoons, squirrels, skunks, opossums, and more. Terminix’s typical pest regimen consists of a home inspection and preliminary treatment, with three additional treatments over the course of a year.
Founded in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has evolved into one of the most trustworthy in the pest control industry. Its pest control specialists have to complete 160 hours of training. Additionally, due to its large network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin offers a professional property inspection to identify issues and draw up a suitable treatment plan. After the initial visit, your technician will follow up regularly to make sure that the pests have stayed away for good. If they have, your local technicians can assist
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners get rid of common pests for over 90 years. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control providers in North America. These include Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
It handles 36 of the most common pests including cockroaches, flies, bed bugs, spiders, rats, moths, mice, and more. Its services cover preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Pest control providers vary in credibility, understanding, and effectiveness. It's important to research companies to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control company:
You should look for a pest control company that focuses their business on the pest you have, like bed bugs, termites, roaches, or rodents. The company should provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians with certifications in pest control methods from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. Solid credentials show that the technicians have completed proper training. Also inquire about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Before booking an appointment, take the time to read online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to see which providers have a reputation for providing positive experiences and effective services. Also check for complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you select a provider from our list of Brookfield'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" certifications. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or other rodents coming inside, you can also ask about humane catch and release. Bear in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective. You may need to consider a more traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control professionals normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will make another visit and re-treat your home at no cost if there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't include reservice guarantees.
Once you have reduced your options to your top exterminators, reach out to each one and ask questions such as:
Thoroughly evaluate potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the best provider to safely and effectively get rid of your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Different pests appear in different places. In Brookfield, there are several that residents have to deal with. Our team examined around 10 million social media conversations to uncover the pests that pose the most problems in the area.
The best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, have many locations, and have been in the industry for a long time.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property regularly is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your home.
Pest control chemicals are safe but need to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — and how long you have to stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Many Brookfield homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several providers for a quote.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or bi-monthly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may need to get monthly treatments for a few months until the problem is resolved.
