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 team at Today's Homeowner narrowed down the top pest control companies by looking at factors like industry experience, coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, customer satisfaction, and more.
This is how the top companies in Palm Harbor ranked:
Terminix has several hundred branches in over 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for about 100 years. The company offers effective pest control treatments that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix is widely known for its specialty termite services, but they take care of much more than that. Their other services include: cockroaches, rodents, spiders, mosquitoes, ants, ticks, and wildlife control such as skunks, raccoons, opossums, squirrels, and more. Terminix’s typical pest regimen includes a home inspection and preliminary treatment, followed by three seasonal treatments over the course of a year.
If you need quick pest control service in Palm Harbor, consider Orkin. Since 1901, Orkin has become one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its exterminators need to complete 160 hours of training. Additionally, due to its large network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin takes care of many common pests, such as spiders, cockroaches, ants, and silverfish. Once the initial treatment, your Orkin expert will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t come back. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with branches across the world and close to a century of experience in the industry. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several local pest control providers like J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil handles the common pests in Palm Harbor, including flies, moths, wasps, spiders, bed bugs, crickets, cockroaches, mosquitoes, ants, and bees. After the initial inspection of your property, a technician will service your property every four months.
Not all pest control companies are the identical in credibility, skill set, and effectiveness. Researching companies helps you identify the right choice for your pest circumstance. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that focuses their business on the pest you have, like termites, bed bugs, roaches, or rodents. The company should describe how they go about treating your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control company, 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). Possessing these credentials indicates that a technician has adequate training. Ask the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
Spend time perusing 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 consistent training to stay current on the latest pest control methods. When you choose a company from our list of Palm Harbor'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” certifications. For larger pests like mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. Bear 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 potent traditional solutions. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control companies usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a company will come back to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice warranties.
Once you have found 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 allow you to pick the right provider to effectively address your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
There are various types of pests in Palm Harbor, ranging from harmless annoyances to disease-carrying insects. Our team studied around 10 million posts on social media to identify the pests that pose the most problems in the area.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Palm Harbor 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 getting a pest control company to come to your home once every quarter. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from returning.
Pest control involves exterminating unwanted insects like termites, rodents, and other unwanted bugs or animals from your home. When you hire a pest control company, a professional exterminator will come and inspect your property. Then they will use various techniques to remove the pests and stop them from coming back, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Palm Harbor homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per 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 Palm Harbor, where the heat can make pests more prevalent. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
