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 experts so you can find the best provider for you. We assessed state availability, customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, costs, contracts, and more.
Here’s how Citrus Park’s top companies ranked:
Terminix is one of the largest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with branches across the United States and 22 other countries. The company offers state-of-the-art pest control treatments that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix handles all kinds of pest issues for residential and commercial customers. These include rodents, raccoons, ants, termites, roaches, opossums, and spiders. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified technician will assess your situation and provide a suitable control plan.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Due to its vast network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin’s most common pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin can arrange regular follow-up visits. Also, if you have recurrent pest problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service.
Rentokil, a business service group, is the world's largest and most widely recognized pest control company, which is comprised of hundreds of brands worldwide. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers including J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator, which can provide tailored services.
Rentokil and its partners deal with the following pests: spiders, wasps, flies, moths, ants, mosquitoes, cockroaches, crickets, bed bugs, and bees. Its treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Not all pest control providers are the same when it comes to credibility, qualifications, and competence. It's important to do your research to determine the best option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control company:
It's best to choose a pest control company that has expertise handling your specific problem, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should clearly describe on their website its expertise with your specific pest.
The ideal pest control company will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by organizations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials demonstrate that the technicians have finished proper training. You'll also want to ask each company about regular education updates for their employees.
Read online reviews on Google and Yelp before committing to a pest control provider. This can help you confirm whether the company consistently provides quality service and positive experiences. Also check the Better Business Bureau for any complaints. Ask the provider whether technicians receive continual training to stay current on the most up-to-date pest control methods. When you select a professional from our list of Citrus Park's best pest control, 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 companies that promote “green” certified solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or other burrowing rodents. 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, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services may not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have reduced your options to your top exterminators, contact each one to ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to hire the right provider to effectively manage your pest situation at a fair price.
A variety of pests find their way into Citrus Park residences. Some are relatively harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can cause anxiety. To help you identify the most problematic pests, we analyzed various social media sites and created a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're respected in the industry and cover all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every quarter. Getting your property sprayed 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 quotes from multiple companies and looking at reviews to help figure out which company best fits your needs.
In a town like Citrus Park, where the cost of living is very high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. The cost of pest control varies depending on several factors, including what kind of pests you have an issue with and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, while a quarterly treatment plan is usually cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’d just like preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional spray your house is in the spring before colony numbers get too high in the hotter part of the year. But it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
