Today's Homeowner looks at dozens of datapoints on pest 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:
Looking for a pest control company with nation-wide expertise? Here are our top picks:
Terminix is one of the largest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with many branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, The Business Journal's FAST 50, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix's specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they exterminate much more than just that. Their other services include: ants, ticks, rodents, cockroaches, spiders, mosquitoes, and wildlife control including raccoons, opossums, squirrels, skunks, and more. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
Orkin has been in the business for over 100 years. It has excellent customer reviews and well-trained pest control specialists who must do 160 hours of training.
Orkin's most popular pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. After the first visit, your pest control specialist will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have stayed away for good.
There are various kinds of pests in South Miami, ranging from harmless annoyances to disease-carrying insects. We created a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing what pests were frequently posted about on social media sites.
Our top picks for pest control companies in South Miami are Orkin and Terminix. They're well-respected in the industry and cover all common pests.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire a company depends on your situation. You'll want to consider factors like the size of the infestation, how much the pest control will cost, and what chemicals need to be used. Additionally, you may want to also look into professional pest control if you're concerned about your family or pets.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every quarter or every two to three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from coming back.
Many South Miami homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To find 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 grow much larger when it's hotter, so spraying in the spring can help prevent your home from getting too many pests later.
