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:
Our team at Today's Homeowner identified the top pest control companies by comparing costs, customer reviews, state availability, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies ranked in Wilton:
Terminix is one of the biggest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with branches across the United States and 22 other countries. The company provides state-of-the-art pest control treatments that are safe for your family.
Terminix can help you with all types of pest problems for residential and commercial customers. These include termites, raccoons, ants, spiders, rodents, roaches, and opossums. In addition to pest control, Terminix offers services, including attic insulation, mechanical exclusion, home disinfection services, and moisture control.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. Its exterminators have to complete 160 hours of training. In addition, because of its big network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin’s typical pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. 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 assist.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners rid themselves of common pests for over 90 years. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control companies in North America. These include Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil deals with the common pests in Wilton, including moths, cockroaches, spiders, mosquitoes, bees, crickets, wasps, ants, bed bugs, and flies. 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 businesses are equal when it comes to reputation, qualifications, and competence. It's important to do your research to determine the right option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control company:
You should choose a pest control company that has expertise handling your specific problem, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly describe on their website its expertise with your specific pest.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from qualified industry groups, 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. You'll also want to ask about ongoing educational requirements.
We advise looking at customer reviews prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites can tell you 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 provider from our list of the top pest control in Wilton, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for companies with “green” accreditations 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 snakes. Keep in mind that traditional solutions might be a better option for significant infestations. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to 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 return and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified a few top-rated pest management providers, talk to each of them and be prepared to ask these types of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will enable you to choose a qualified provider to effectively control your pest situation at a fair price.
It's important to be aware of the pests you're bound to see in Wilton. We came up with a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing what pests were often mentioned on social media platforms.
The top pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They cover all common pests, service locations all around the nation, and have been in business for decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every quarter. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals from coming back.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take time to do thorough research. We recommend getting estimates from several companies and looking at reviews to help determine which company is the right one for you.
Many Wilton homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several providers for an estimate.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or bi-monthly pest control treatments are recommended. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the issue is resolved.
