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've narrowed down the top pest control companies so you can find the best provider for you. We analyzed customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, contracts, state availability, costs, and more.
Here’s how the top companies in Litchfield ranked:
Terminix has 300 branches in over 22 countries and has been in business for over 90 years. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix has both one-time extermination services and routine pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. It has positive consumer reviews and well-trained pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin offers a professional property inspection to identify potential problems and draw up treatment plan. Once the first treatment, your Orkin exterminator will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t returned. 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 professional pest control solutions all around the world. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control providers in North America. These include J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both eliminating existing pests and preventing future infestations. After the initial inspection of your home, a technician will service your property as often as your contract states.
Pest control companies vary in reputation, understanding, and competence. It's important to research companies to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that has experience handling the type of pest you have, whether it’s roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to explain their approach for treating your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies that employ technicians with certifications in pest control methods from reputable industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Having the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about continuing education opportunities.
We advise reading customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of ongoing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you choose a company from our list of the top pest control in Litchfield, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for companies with “green” certifications if you want more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about gentle catch and release methods for larger animals like mice or squirrels. Keep in mind that more potent treatments might be a better option for major infestations. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control professionals usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a provider will return to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have compiled a list of a few top contending pest control companies, reach out to each one and be prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will help you hire the right provider to safely and successfully eliminate your pest problem at a fair price.
Litchfield is home to various pests, from insects to wildlife. Our experts reviewed around 10 million social media posts to determine the pests that create the most issues in the area.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Litchfield are Terminix and Orkin. They're well known in the industry and cover all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every two or three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
The key to finding the right exterminator for you is to get in touch with multiple companies and get estimates from them. You should also be sure to read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Litchfield homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control companies for an estimate.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’d just like preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your home is in the spring before colony numbers get too high when it's warmer. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
