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 considered state availability, costs, pest control treatments offered, customer reviews, contracts, and more.
This is how the top companies in Bloomingdale ranked:
Terminix is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries globally. It has also been in business for nearly 100 years. Terminix has received several awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they deal with much more than just that. Their other services include: ticks, rodents, cockroaches, mosquitoes, spiders, ants, and wildlife control including opossums, raccoons, skunks, squirrels, and more. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
Orkin Pest Control is based in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a large network of branches. Because of its large network, Orkin can provide same-day or next-day service.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify problem pests and areas and develop a suitable treatment plan. Orkin can set up regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurring problems or any other urgent pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service.
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 regional pest control companies in North America. These include Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners deal with the following pests: wasps, moths, ants, bed bugs, flies, mosquitoes, crickets, bees, cockroaches, and spiders. After the initial inspection of your property, a technician will treat your property every quarter.
Not all pest control services are the same when it comes to reputation, proficiency, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the best option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
When selecting a pest control provider, 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 demonstrates that the technicians have adequate training. Question the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
Before booking an appointment, spend time reading 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 check 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 Bloomingdale, 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 providers that advertise “green” accreditation. For bigger animals such as mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. 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 effective traditional solutions. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat your home for free if there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services may not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected your top pest management companies, reach out to each one and ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will help you choose the right provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
Different pests come up in different locations. In Bloomingdale, there are several that residents may deal with. We examined around 10 million posts on social media to find out which pests people in different areas had problems with the most.
The top pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They cover all common pests, have locations all around the country, and have been in the industry for decades.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property regularly is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your home.
Pest control chemicals are safe but must be handled by a professional. If you have any questions about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — and how long you need to stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Pest control involves removing unwanted insects like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or wildlife from your property. When you hire a pest control company, a professional will inspect your property. Then they will use various methods to get rid of the pests and prevent them from coming back, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Bloomingdale homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several providers for a quote.
We recommend quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly in Bloomingdale, where pests can crop up more often because of the heat. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
