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:
Today's Homeowner has narrowed down the best pest control companies so you can find the best provider for you. We assessed customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, state availability, costs, contracts, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies in Glastonbury ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of experience in the pest control business. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix offers both one-off extermination services and seasonal pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Terminix’s typical pest regimen includes a home inspection and initial treatment, followed by three seasonal treatments during the year.
Orkin has been in the business for over 100 years. It has positive customer reviews and competent exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin offers a professional property inspection to identify problem pests and areas and develop an appropriate 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 help
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of experience in the pest control industry. The company provides innovative pest control solutions all around the world. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control providers like Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
It handles 36 of the most common pests including rats, flies, mice, spiders, moths, bed bugs, cockroaches, and more. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pest problems after service, Rentokil will visit again until the issue is resolved.
Not all pest control companies are the same in credibility, background, and capability. Vetting providers helps you identify the right choice for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control company:
It's best to choose a pest control company that has expertise handling your specific problem, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should clearly describe on their website its expertise with your specific pest.
The ideal pest control company 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 demonstrate that the technicians have received proper training. You'll also want to ask each company about continuing training for their employees.
Take some time to read online reviews on Google and Yelp before committing to a pest control provider. This can help you verify whether the company consistently provides quality service and positive experiences. Also check the Better Business Bureau for any complaints. Ask the provider whether technicians receive consistent training to stay current on the most up-to-date pest control methods. When you choose a provider from our list of the top pest control in Glastonbury, 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 providers that advertise “green” certifications. For larger pests like mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a considerable pest problem, you may need more effective traditional methods. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides that are classified as greater than 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 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 determined your top pest management companies, reach out to each one to ask these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will help you select the most qualified provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
There are various types of pests in Glastonbury, ranging from harmless nuisances to disease-carrying insects. We studied around 10 million social media posts to figure out which pests people in different cities had the most problems with.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're respected in the industry and cover all common pests.
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 other wildlife from coming inside your home.
For the most part, pest control chemicals are safe. However, they must be handled by a professional exterminator to ensure they’re used safely. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying away from your home for a certain amount of time. This is typically 2 to 4 hours, but can be as much as 24 hours.
Many Glastonbury homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several companies for an estimate.
We advise quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly if needed. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
