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 has narrowed down the top pest control companies to help you find the best provider for you. We analyzed pest control treatments offered, state availability, costs, contracts, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries around the globe. It has also been in business for almost 100 years. Terminix has received several awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix exterminates all kinds of pest issues for homeowners and business owners. These include roaches, ants, raccoons, termites, spiders, opossums, and rodents. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
Orkin has been in the business for over 100 years. Its pest control specialists must undergo 160 hours of training. Additionally, because of its large network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin’s typical pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. After the initial treatment, your Orkin expert will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t come back. If they have, your local technicians can assist.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners exterminate 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 Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control specialist will focus on both exterminating current pests and preventing future infestations. Rentokil’s services include preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control providers are the equal in credibility, background, and capability. Evaluating companies helps you identify the right choice for your pest situation. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that has experience handling the type of pest you have, whether it’s rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should be able to explain their approach for treating your type of pest.
When selecting a pest control company, look for technicians that are licensed by the state and certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Possessing these credentials shows that a technician has adequate training. Inquire with the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Verify for yourself that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive ongoing education on the latest and most innovative pest control treatments. When you choose a professional from our list of Country Club'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 providers that specialize in “green” certified solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or squirrels in your attic. Keep in mind that natural options may be less effective for serious infestations, and if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need stronger traditional methods. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control companies usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a company will make another visit to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments might not include these reservice warranties.
Once you have compiled a list of a few top-rated pest management providers, talk to each one and be prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Analyze potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to select a qualified provider to effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
There are various types of pests in Country Club, ranging from harmless annoyances to ones that can damage your home. We studied around 10 million posts on social media to identify which pests were causing the most trouble for residents.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're highly regarded in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every quarter. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
To find the best pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and research your options thoroughly. We recommend obtaining quotes from several companies and looking at reviews to help determine which company is the right one for you.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire an exterminator depends on your situation. You’ll want to take into consideration factors like the size of the infestation, what chemicals need to be used, and how much the pest control will cost. In addition, you may want to also look into professional pest control if you're concerned about safety.
In a city like Country Club, where the cost of living is very high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. How much pest control costs depends on several factors, including what kind of pests are troubling you 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.
We advise quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly in Country Club, where pests can be more common because of the heat. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
