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:
When ranking these pest control providers, we compared several factors including coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, customer service, industry experience, and more.
This is how they ranked:
Terminix has several hundred branches in over 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for about 100 years. The company provides effective pest control treatments that are safe for your family.
Terminix provides both one-off extermination services and routine pest control. In addition, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified technician will assess your situation and give you 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 large network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin’s typical pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin’s typical pest control plan is also seasonal, which means your home will be treated several times during the year.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners rid themselves of common pests for over 90 years. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few regional pest control branches like J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both eliminating existing pests and preventing future infestations. Depending on where you live, Rentokil and its partners may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Pest control services aren't all equal when it comes to credibility, understanding, and capability. It’s important to research services to find the right one for your specific situation. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control professional:
You should look for a pest control company that focuses their business on the pest you have, like bed bugs, termites, roaches, or rodents. The company should describe how they go about treating your type of pest.
When selecting a pest control provider, 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 indicates 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.
Take some time to read online reviews on Google and Yelp before scheduling a pest control appointment. 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 consistent training to stay current on the most up-to-date pest control methods. When you choose a professional from our list of Greenacres' best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more natural, eco-friendly pest control solutions, look for companies that have "green" certifications. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or raccoons nesting in trees, you can also ask about humane catch and release. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective; consider the traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control professionals normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will make another visit and re-treat your home at no cost if there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have determined your top pest management companies, reach out to each one with these questions:
Thoroughly evaluate potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the best provider to safely and effectively get rid of your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Pests vary by location. In Greenacres, there are several that residents have to deal with. We reviewed around 10 million online conversations to uncover the most common pests plaguing local homes.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Greenacres are Orkin and Terminix. They're highly regarded in the industry and cover all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to 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 house.
For the most part, the chemicals used in pest control are safe. However, they have to be handled by a professional exterminator to make sure they’re used properly. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying out of your home for a certain period of time. This is usually 2 to 4 hours, but can be as much as 24 hours.
Many Greenacres homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control companies for an estimate.
We recommend quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly in Greenacres, where pests can crop up more frequently because of the heat. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
