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 providers by considering factors like coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, industry experience, customer satisfaction, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries worldwide. It has also been in the industry for almost 100 years. It uses the latest technology in pest control to rid your property of pests no matter where you find them.
Terminix helps with all kinds of pests in North Port, and it guarantees that your pest problems will be solved. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified pest control expert will take a look at your situation and detail a suitable control plan.
Founded in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has grown to be one of the most trustworthy in the pest control industry. It has great consumer reviews and well-trained exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin offers a professional property inspection to identify issues and draw up treatment plan. Each contract with Orkin comes with a 30-day guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your exterminator will come back for another visit.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of experience in the pest control industry. The company provides professional pest control treatments for homeowners and business owners. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few regional pest control providers like Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners handle the following pests: mosquitoes, bees, bed bugs, wasps, spiders, ants, flies, moths, cockroaches, and crickets. Rentokil’s treatments are safe for your pets and children.
Pest control businesses aren't all the same when it comes to reputation, expertise, 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 provider:
Look for a pest control company that primarily handles 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 choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians that have the proper state licensing and are certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Having these credentials demonstrates 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.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before booking a pest control appointment. Confirm through customer feedback that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive continuing regular education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you select a company from our list of North Port's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for companies with “green” certifications if you want more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about gentle catch and release methods for larger animals like mice or squirrels. Keep in mind that traditional methods might be a better option for major infestations. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the company will return and re-treat at no cost if your home still has pests after the initial visit. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have narrowed down your top exterminators, contact each one and ask questions such as:
Carefully review potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the right provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
A variety of pests end up finding their way into North Port houses. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can cause anxiety. We reviewed around 10 million social media posts to identify which pests were causing the most trouble for residents.
Our top picks for pest control companies in North Port are Terminix and Orkin. They're well known in the industry and help get rid of 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 other wildlife from coming back.
The key to finding the right exterminator for you is to contact multiple companies and get estimates from them. You should also be sure to read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Pest control involves getting rid of unwanted insects like termites, rodents, and other unwanted bugs or animals from your property. When you hire a pest control company, a professional will inspect your property. Then they will use various techniques to get rid of the pests and stop them from coming back, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many North Port homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically 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 providers for an estimate.
We recommend quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly in North Port, where the heat can make pests more prevalent. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
