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 costs, customer reviews, state availability, and more.
This is how we ranked the top pest control companies in Florida City:
Terminix has several hundred branches in over 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for almost 100 years. The company provides cutting-edge pest control treatments that are safe for your family.
Terminix is most widely known for its specialty termite services, but they handle much more than just that. Their other services include: mosquitoes, ants, cockroaches, rodents, ticks, spiders, and wildlife control including squirrels, raccoons, opossums, skunks, and more. Along with pest control, Terminix provides services, such as home disinfection services, attic insulation, moisture control, and mechanical exclusion.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. Its exterminators must complete 160 hours of training. In addition, because of its large network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin takes care of many common pests, including cockroaches, spiders, silverfish, and ants. Once the first treatment, your Orkin expert will follow up to check that the pests haven’t come back. If they have, your local technicians can assist.
Rentokil, a business service group, is the world's largest pest control company, which is made up of hundreds of brands worldwide. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers such as Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich, which provide individual services.
It protects from 36 of the most common pests such as flies, rats, cockroaches, mice, bed bugs, moths, spiders, and more. Its treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Pest control providers aren't all identical when it comes to credibility, expertise, and capability. It’s important to research businesses to find the right one for your specific situation. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to describe how they treat your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies that employ technicians with certifications in pest control methods from expert organizations, 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. Also ask about regular training updates.
Before booking an appointment, browse online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to see which providers have a reputation for providing effective service and positive customer experiences. Also check for any complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Ask about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you select a company from our list of Florida City's best pest control, 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 larger pests like 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 significant infestations. If you have a considerable pest problem, you may need more effective traditional solutions. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control providers usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a provider will come back to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice warranties.
Once you have narrowed down your top pest control providers, reach out to each one with questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control companies using these questions. This will enable you to hire a qualified provider to effectively control your pest situation at a fair price.
There are various kinds of pests in Florida City, ranging from harmless annoyances to ones that can damage your home. We studied around 10 million online discussions to identify which pests were causing the most trouble for residents.
The top pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They cover all common pests, have many locations, 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 animals from coming inside your home.
Pest control chemicals 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 children and pets — and how long you need to stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
There are some pests you can handle yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a rogue spider, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some pest infestations warrant calling the professionals. If you have a big infestation, you don’t know what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Florida City homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control companies for a quote.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should seek 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. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
