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 several factors such as customer service, industry experience, coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
This is how the top companies in Oakville ranked:
Terminix is one of the biggest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with many branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. The company offers state-of-the-art pest control treatments that are safe for your family.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they handle much more than that. Their other services include: mosquitoes, ants, rodents, cockroaches, spiders, ticks, and wildlife control such as squirrels, opossums, skunks, raccoons, and more. Terminix’s general pest regimen consists of a home inspection and preliminary treatment, followed by three additional treatments over the course of a year.
Orkin has been in the industry for over 100 years. Because of its large network, Orkin can offer same-day or next-day service.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify issues and develop treatment plan. Orkin’s general pest control service plan is also seasonal, so your home will be treated several times over the course of a year.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with branches across the globe and close to a century of experience in the industry. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control companies like J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil can help you with the common pests in Oakville, including wasps, flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, moths, spiders, bees, bed bugs, crickets, and ants. Depending on your location, Rentokil and its partners may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Pest control companies aren't all the same when it comes to reputation, expertise, and competence. It’s important to research providers to find the right one for your specific issue. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control provider:
It's best to choose a pest control company that can effectively address your specific problem, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should have clearly laid out its expertise with your specific pest.
When selecting a pest control company, 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). Having these credentials shows that the technicians have adequate training. Question the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
We highly recommend looking at customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and similar sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and has happy customers. 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 the latest pest control techniques and treatment methods. When you select a provider from our list of Oakville's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing 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 humane trapping and relocation. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a substantial pest problem, you may need more potent traditional treatments. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control providers normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat your home at no cost if there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected your top exterminators, contact each one and ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly assess 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.
Oakville is home to several pests, from insects to wildlife. For an idea of the most common pests in the city, we examined the pests mentioned in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
The top pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They can treat all common pests, have many locations, and have been in business for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every two or three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
There are some pests you can handle yourself. For example, if you see some ants or a rogue wasp, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some situations warrant calling the professionals. If you have a large infestation, you don’t know what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
A pest control company gets rid of unwanted bugs or animals that have infested your property. Pest control also consists of preventative measures taken to stop said pests from coming back, which can happen at any point in Oakville, but usually during the warm summers.
In a town like Oakville, where the cost of living is high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. How much pest control costs varies based on several factors, such as 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 generally cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or bi-monthly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, however, you may need to get monthly treatments for a few months until the issue is resolved.
