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 narrowed it down to these pest control companies by analyzing state availability, pest control treatments offered, costs, customer reviews, contracts, and more.
Here’s how the top companies ranked:
Terminix is one of the biggest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with branches across the United States and 22 other countries. It uses the latest pest control techniques to eliminate insects and unwanted wildlife no matter where you find them.
Terminix helps with dozens of pests in Lealman, and it offers a 30-day guarantee. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified exterminator will take a look at your situation and provide a suitable control plan.
Founded in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has evolved into one of the most trustworthy in the pest control industry. Due to its vast network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin’s typical pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin can set up regular follow-up visits. Also, if you have recurrent pest problems or any other urgent pest control needs, you can contact a customer service representative.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners get rid of common pests for over 90 years. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control companies like Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil deals with the common pests in Lealman, including spiders, bees, cockroaches, wasps, crickets, flies, ants, mosquitoes, moths, and bed bugs. Depending on the city, Rentokil and its partners may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control services are the same in reputation, qualifications, and proficiency. Evaluating companies helps you identify the right choice for your pest situation. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control company:
It's best to choose a pest control company that is equipped to handle your specific problem, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its expertise with your specific pest.
The ideal pest management provider will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by associations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials show that the technicians have received proper training. You'll also want to inquire with each company about ongoing education for their employees.
We suggest reading customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites can tell you whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of ongoing education technicians receive to stay current on the latest pest control techniques and treatment methods. When you select a company from our list of Lealman'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 eco-friendly and natural 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. You may need to consider the traditional route for a more serious infestation. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control companies usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will come back and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected your top pest control providers, reach out to each one and ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to select a qualified provider to effectively manage your pest situation at a fair price.
It's important to know which pests you're bound to come across while living in Lealman. To help you identify the most commonly seen pests, we examined various social media sites and created a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're highly regarded 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 house once every quarter. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but have to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions or concerns about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — or are wondering how long you should stay out of your home 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 control yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a rogue wasp, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some infestations warrant calling the professionals. If you have an out-of-control infestation, you don’t know what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
In a town like Lealman, where the cost of living is above average compared to other cities, the cost of pest control may be a concern. The cost of pest control depends on several factors, such as what type 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.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or even bi-monthly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, however, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the infestation is resolved.
