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:
The Today's Homeowner team narrowed down the top pest control companies by considering factors like coverage, industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, customer satisfaction, and more.
This is how we ranked them:
Terminix has 300 branches in over 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry 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’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they take care of much more than that. Their other services include: ticks, ants, rodents, mosquitoes, spiders, cockroaches, and wildlife control including squirrels, skunks, raccoons, opossums, and more. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
Orkin has been in the industry for over 100 years. Because of its vast 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 draw up treatment plan. Orkin’s general pest control plan is also seasonal, meaning your home will be treated several times during the year.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has close to 100 years’ worth of experience protecting residents from pests. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control providers like J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil exterminates the common pests in Jensen Beach, including wasps, ants, bed bugs, bees, mosquitoes, flies, moths, crickets, cockroaches, and spiders. After the initial inspection of your property, a technician will treat your property every quarter.
Pest control providers vary in reputation, expertise, and skill. It's important to research businesses to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that primarily handles the pest you have, like rodents, roaches, bed bugs, or termites. The company should explain their process for treating your type of pest.
When choosing 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). Having these credentials shows that a technician has adequate training. Ask the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
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 latest pest control methods. When you choose a provider from our list of Jensen Beach's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that 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 squirrels invading your attic, you can also inquire about humane catch and release methods. Bear in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective; consider the traditional route for a more serious infestation. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will return and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments might not have reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified a few highly reviewed exterminator services, reach out to each of them and be prepared to ask these types of questions:
Thoroughly evaluate potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you select the right provider to safely and effectively get rid of your pest problem at a reasonable price.
There are various kinds of pests in Jensen Beach, ranging from harmless annoyances to disease-carrying insects. To give you an idea of the most common pests in the city, we analyzed the pests talked about in around 10 million social media posts.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're well-respected in the industry and cover all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every two or three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from returning.
Pest control involves getting rid of unwanted insects like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or wildlife from your property. When you hire a pest control company, a professional will come and inspect your property. Then they will use various methods to remove the pests and stop them from coming back, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
In a town like Jensen Beach, where the cost of living is above average 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 type of pests are troubling you and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, but a quarterly treatment plan is generally cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
If you already have a serious 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 come spray your house is in the spring before nest and 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.
