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:
Today's Homeowner’s experts identified the top pest control companies by comparing costs, state availability, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how the top pest control companies in Northdale ranked:
Terminix ranks as one of the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses stay pest-free for over 90 years. With the amount of experience the company has, you can see why Terminix is one of the top companies in the country.
Terminix treats all kinds of pests in Northdale, and if you’re not completely satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its exterminators undergo 160 hours of training. In addition, because of its big network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin can protect your property from many common pests, such as ants, silverfish, cockroaches, and spiders. After the initial treatment, your Orkin specialist will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with providers across the globe and close to a century of experience in the industry. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control providers in North America. These include Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
It protects from 36 of the most common pests including moths, flies, bed bugs, spiders, mice, rats, cockroaches, and more. Its services include preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control companies are the same in reputation, skill set, and capability. Vetting providers helps you identify the right choice for your pest situation. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to explain their approach for treating your type of pest.
The ideal exterminator will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by organizations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials demonstrate that the technicians have received proper training. You'll also want to ask each company about continuing training for their employees.
Spend time perusing online reviews on Google and Yelp before scheduling a pest control appointment. This can help you verify 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 ongoing regular training to stay current on the most recent pest control methods. When you select a provider from our list of Northdale's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for companies with “green” accreditation. For bigger animals such as mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a substantial pest problem, you may need stronger traditional methods. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides (besides those classified as 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 company will come back and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is taken care of. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified your top pest management companies, reach out to each one with these questions:
Assess potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to choose the best provider to effectively address your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Many kinds of pests find their way into Northdale homes. Some are relatively harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can give homeowners anxiety. To help you identify the most commonly seen pests, we analyzed various social media sites and put together a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies in Northdale are Orkin and Terminix. They're well known in the industry and cover all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every quarter. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
There are some pests you can handle yourself. For example, if you see some ants or a rogue spider, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some pest infestations warrant bringing in the professionals. If you have a large infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Northdale homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually 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 companies for an estimate.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will grow much larger when it's hotter, so pest control in the spring can help prevent your home from getting too many pests later.
