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 it down to these pest control providers by comparing customer reviews, state availability, pest control treatments offered, costs, contracts, and more.
Here’s how Sarasota Springs’s top companies ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of pest control experience. With this breadth of experience, you can see why Terminix is one of the top companies in the country.
Terminix has both one-off extermination services and routine pest control. Plus, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the most trustworthy pest control companies in the country. Due to its large network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin’s most popular pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. After the initial treatment, your Orkin specialist will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t come back. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of experience in the pest control industry. The company provides expert pest control treatments for homeowners and business owners. The global brand owns the North American pest control providers J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil can help you with the common pests in Sarasota Springs, including flies, cockroaches, ants, bed bugs, mosquitoes, wasps, bees, crickets, spiders, and moths. Rentokil uses treatments that are safe for your pets and children.
Not all pest control businesses are the identical in credibility, skill set, and proficiency. Evaluating companies helps you identify the right choice for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control professional:
You should look for a pest control company that specializes in treating the pest you have, like roaches, bed bugs, termites, or rodents. The company should describe how they go about treating your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians with certifications in pest control methods from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. Solid credentials show that the technicians have completed proper training. Also ask about continuing education policies and total training hours.
We highly recommend reading customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other review sites can tell you whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of continuing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you choose an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Sarasota Springs, you can feel confident knowing that 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 trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or other burrowing rodents. However, natural options may be less effective for serious infestations. If you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control professionals usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will return and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is handled. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified a few highly reviewed exterminator services, talk to each of them and be prepared to ask these types of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the right provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
It's important to be aware of the pests you could come across while living in Sarasota Springs. To help you prepare for the most problematic pests, we reviewed various social media sites and put together a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Sarasota Springs are Orkin and Terminix. They're well known in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property regularly is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your home.
A pest control company gets rid of unwanted bugs or animals that have infested your property. Pest control also includes preventative measures taken to stop said pests from coming back, which can happen at any point in a warm place like Sarasota Springs.
Many Sarasota Springs homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically 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 pest control companies for a quote.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or even bi-monthly pest control treatments are recommended. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the issue is resolved.
