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’s experts narrowed down the top pest control providers 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 industry. With this breadth of experience, you can see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix treats many types of pests in Suffield, and it guarantees that your pest problems will be solved. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified technician will assess your situation and give you a suitable control plan.
Founded in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has become one of the most trusted in the pest control industry. Because of its vast network, Orkin can provide same-day or next-day service.
Orkin’s most common pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Each contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your technician will come back for another visit.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with branches across the world and close to a century of experience in the industry. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control companies in North America. These include Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
It protects against 36 of the most common pests including flies, cockroaches, bed bugs, rats, spiders, moths, mice, and more. Its services consist of preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control providers are the equal in credibility, skill set, and competence. Researching businesses helps you identify the right choice for your pest issue. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its area of expertise.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from expert organizations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Holding the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about regular training updates.
Before booking an appointment, take the time to read online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a proven track record of providing effective service and positive customer experiences. Also look for any complaints with 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 choose an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Suffield, 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" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or other rodents coming inside, you can also inquire 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. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control providers usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a company will make another visit to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice warranties.
Once you have narrowed down your top pest control providers, reach out to each one with questions such as:
Evaluate potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to select a qualified provider to effectively solve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Many kinds of pests find their way into Suffield residences. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can give homeowners anxiety. We compiled a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing what pests were often posted about on social media platforms.
The best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They help with all common pests, have many locations, and have been in the industry 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. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
The key to finding the right exterminator for you is to contact multiple companies and get estimates from them. You should also be sure to read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Suffield homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several providers for a quote.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’re just interested in preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your house is in the spring before colony numbers get too high when it's warmer. But it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
