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 down the top pest control providers by looking at factors like industry experience, coverage, customer satisfaction, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
This is how the top companies in North Palm Beach ranked:
Terminix is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries globally. It has also been in business for almost 100 years.

Terminix is widely known for its specialty termite services, but they take care of much more than just that. Their other services include: ticks, ants, spiders, cockroaches, mosquitoes, rodents, and wildlife control including opossums, raccoons, squirrels, skunks, and more. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.

Pest control companies aren't all the same when it comes to reputation, expertise, and effectiveness. It’s important to research providers to find the right one for your specific situation. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control company:
Choose a pest control company that has expertise handling your specific problem, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, 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 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 the technicians have adequate training. Inquire with 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 committing to a pest control provider. 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 latest pest control methods. When you choose an exterminator from our list of North Palm 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 natural pest control methods, look for providers offering “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 major infestations. If you have a moderate to serious pest problem, you may need more effective traditional treatments. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control companies usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a provider will return to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments might not include these reservice warranties.
Once you have determined your top pest control providers, contact each one to ask these questions:
Evaluate potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to pick a qualified provider to effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Different pests show up in different locations. In North Palm Beach, there are a few different ones that residents have to deal with. Our experts reviewed around 10 million online discussions to uncover the pests that create the most issues in the area.
The top pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They help with all common pests, have many locations, and have been in the industry for several decades.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property routinely is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your home.
Pest control chemicals are safe but must 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 — and how long you have 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.
Many North Palm Beach homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several providers for a quote.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. This is because nests and colony numbers will get much higher when it's hotter, so spraying in the spring can help prevent your property from getting too many pests later.
