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 companies, we considered factors such as customer service, coverage, industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of pest control industry experience. The company provides effective pest control services that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix treats dozens of pests in Micco, and it guarantees that your pest problems will be solved. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
Orkin Pest Control is based in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a expansive network of branches. Because of its large network, Orkin can provide same-day or next-day service.
Pests Orkin handles includes silverfish, bed bugs, scorpions, termites, crickets, mice, flies, centipedes, fleas, carpenter ants, and more. Orkin can book regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurrent problems or any other urgent pest control needs, you can contact a customer service representative.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners get rid of common pests for over 90 years. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control branches like J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil deals with the common pests in Micco, including bees, crickets, wasps, mosquitoes, cockroaches, ants, bed bugs, flies, moths, and spiders. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pest problems after service, Rentokil will visit again until the issue is resolved.
Pest control services vary in reputation, understanding, and capability. It's important to research providers to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control provider:
Choose a pest control company that can effectively address your specific problem, whether it's bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its expertise with your specific pest.
When selecting a pest control provider, look for technicians with certifications in pest control methods from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), on top of proper state licensing. The right credentials indicate that the technicians have completed proper training. Also ask about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Read online reviews on Google and Yelp before scheduling a pest control appointment. This can help you determine for yourself 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 continual training to stay current on the most up-to-date pest control methods. When you choose an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Micco, you can rest easy knowing 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 other burrowing rodents. 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. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control companies normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will come back and re-treat your home at no cost if there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services may not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected a few top-rated pest management providers, have conversations with each of them and be prepared to ask these types of questions:
Analyze potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you select the best provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Micco is home to a number of pests, from insects to wildlife. To help you prepare for the most commonly seen pests, we reviewed online discussions and compiled a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Micco 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. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals from coming back.
Pest control chemicals are safe but need 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 your family and pets — and how long you should stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Many Micco homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually 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 getting in touch with several providers for an estimate.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will get much higher when it's hotter, so pest control in the spring can help prevent your home from getting too many pests later.
