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 identified the top pest control companies by comparing state availability, costs, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how Canton’s top companies ranked:
Terminix has 300 branches in over 22 countries and has been in business for about 100 years. With the amount of experience the company has, you can see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix helps with many types of pests in Canton, and if you’re not 100% satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Terminix’s general pest regimen includes a home inspection and initial treatment, with three seasonal treatments during the year.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the most trustworthy pest control companies in the country. Its pest control specialists have to complete 160 hours of training. Plus, because of its large network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin’s most common pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin’s most common pest control service plan is also seasonal, which means your home will be treated several times during the year.
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest and most widely recognized pest control company, which is comprised of hundreds of brands worldwide. The global brand owns the North American pest control companies Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control specialist will focus on both getting rid of current pests and preventing future infestations. Rentokil uses treatments that are safe for your pets and children.
Pest control businesses aren't all the same when it comes to reputation, understanding, and effectiveness. It’s important to research services to find the right one for your specific circumstance. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that focuses their business on the pest you have, like rodents, roaches, bed bugs, or termites. The company should provide an overview of how they treat 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). Obtaining these credentials indicates that a technician has adequate training. Question the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
We advise checking out customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and similar 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 the latest pest control techniques and treatment methods. When you choose a company from our list of Canton's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for providers offering “green” certifications. For bigger animals such as mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for significant 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) must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat for free if you still have pests in your home after the initial visit. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified your top pest management companies, contact each one to ask these questions:
Review potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to pick the best provider to effectively fix your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Which pests you may see depends on where you live. In Canton, there are several that residents may deal with. Our experts analyzed around 10 million social media posts to identify the pests that are the biggest headache in the area.
The best pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They help with all common pests, have locations nationwide, and have been in business for decades.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property routinely is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your home.
Pest control chemicals 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 children and pets — and how long you should stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
There are some pests you can control yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a stray spider, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some infestations warrant calling the professionals. If you have an out-of-control infestation, you don’t know what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Canton 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 providers for an estimate.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’d just like preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional spray your house is in the spring before nest and colony numbers get too high in the hotter part of the year. But it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
