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 providers, we considered factors including customer service, types of pest control treatments offered, industry experience, coverage, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of experience in the pest control industry. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix treats many types of pests in Griswold, and it guarantees that your pest problems will be solved. In addition to pest control, Terminix provides other services, including moisture control, attic insulation, mechanical exclusion, and home disinfection services.
Orkin Pest Control is based in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a expansive network of branches. Because of its vast network, Orkin can provide same-day or next-day service.
Pests Orkin helps with are hornets, carpenter ants, ticks, wasps, earwigs, moths, termites, cockroaches, fleas, yellow jackets, and more. Once the first treatment, your Orkin specialist will follow up to check that the pests haven’t come back. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with providers across the world and nearly a century of experience in the industry. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control providers in North America. These include J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil and its partners deal with the following pests: spiders, moths, bees, cockroaches, bed bugs, flies, crickets, ants, mosquitoes, and wasps. Its services consist of preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Pest control providers vary in reputation, knowledge, and effectiveness. It's important to research businesses to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control professional:
You should look for a pest control company that primarily handles the pest you have, like termites, bed bugs, roaches, or rodents. The company should describe how they go about treating your type of 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). Obtaining these credentials indicates that a technician has adequate training. Question the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
Look through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before booking a pest control appointment. Confirm through customer feedback 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 continuing regular education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you select an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Griswold, 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 providers that have "green" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or raccoons nesting in trees, you can also inquire about humane catch and release methods. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective; consider the traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. The guarantees mean the company will return and re-treat for free if your home still has pests following the initial treatment. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have narrowed down your top pest control providers, contact each one and ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the most qualified provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
Griswold is home to various pests, from wildlife to insects. To help you identify the most common pests, we examined various social media sites and made a list of the ones mentioned the most.
The top pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, have many locations, and have been in business for several decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every quarter or every two to three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from coming back.
The key to finding the best exterminator for you is to contact multiple companies and get quotes from them. You should also make sure you read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Griswold 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 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, or even bi-monthly if needed. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
