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:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of experience in the pest control business. It uses the latest technology in pest control to eliminate pests no matter where they are.
Terminix deals with all kinds of pest issues for homeowners and business owners. These include rodents, spiders, ants, raccoons, opossums, roaches, and termites. Terminix's general pest control includes a home inspection and first treatment, followed by three seasonal treatments over the course of a year.
Orkin has been in the business for over 100 years. Its pest control specialists undergo 160 hours of training. And, due to its big network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — visits.
The pests Orkin takes care of are flies, rats, scorpions, spiders, moths, ticks, carpenter ants, silverfish, fleas, hornets, bed bugs, centipedes, yellow jackets, earwigs, termites, bees, crickets, wasps, cockroaches, and mice. Orkin can schedule regular follow up visits. Also, if you have recurring pest problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact Orkin's customer service.
Augusta is home to several pests, from wildlife to insects. We studied around 10 million social media conversations to determine the most common pests in the city.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're respected in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but must be handled by a professional. If you have any questions or concerns about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around young children and pets — and how long you should stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and do diligent research. We recommend getting quotes from several companies and reading through reviews to help figure out which company is the best for you.
Many Augusta homeowners wonder 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 find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several providers 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 problem is resolved.
