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 identified the top pest control companies by comparing customer reviews, costs, state availability, and more.
Here’s how we ranked them:
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. It utilizes the latest innovations in pest control to eliminate insects and unwanted wildlife anywhere you see them.
Terminix has both one-time extermination services and routine pest control. Plus, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Terminix’s general pest regimen consists of a home inspection and preliminary treatment, followed by three additional treatments during the year.
Orkin has been in the business for over 100 years. It has great customer reviews and professional pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Pests Orkin handles are silverfish, earwigs, bees, moths, fleas, centipedes, scorpions, termites, crickets, carpenter ants, and more. Orkin can schedule regular follow-up visits. Also, if you have recurrent problems or any other urgent pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with providers across the globe and close to a century of experience in the industry. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers like J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X, which provide individual services.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control expert will focus on both eliminating existing pests and preventing future infestations. Rentokil’s services consist of preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control providers are the equal in reputation, experience, and capability. Vetting businesses helps you identify the right choice for your pest situation. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that primarily handles the pest you have, like bed bugs, termites, roaches, or rodents. The company should explain their process for treating your type of pest.
When selecting a pest control provider, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), on top of proper state licensing. These credentials indicate that the technicians have completed proper training. Also ask about required training hours and continuing education.
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 positive experiences and effective services. Also look for complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about ongoing training at the company as well as how its technicians stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you choose an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Beverly Hills, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for services that use “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or squirrels in your attic. However, natural options may be less effective for serious infestations. If you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the company will return and re-treat at no cost if you still have pests in your home following the initial treatment. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have determined your top exterminators, reach out to each one to ask these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will enable you to select the best provider to effectively manage your pest situation at a fair price.
A variety of pests like to find their way into Beverly Hills homes. Some are relatively harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can give homeowners anxiety. We reviewed around 10 million online discussions to find out which pests people in different areas had problems with the most.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies in Beverly Hills are Terminix and Orkin. They're highly regarded in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property once every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your home.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but have to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around young children and pets — or are wondering how long you have to stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
In a town like Beverly Hills, where the cost of living is comparatively high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control may be a concern. The cost of pest control depends on several factors, including what type of pests are infesting your home and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, while a quarterly treatment plan is typically cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will grow much larger when it's hotter, so spraying in the spring can help prevent you from getting too many pests later.
