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:
When ranking these pest control companies, we considered several factors including coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, industry experience, customer service, and more.
Here’s how the top pest control companies in Chamblee ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of experience in the pest control industry. Terminix has received several 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 help with much more than just that. Their other services include: mosquitoes, cockroaches, ants, spiders, rodents, ticks, and wildlife control such as squirrels, opossums, skunks, raccoons, and more. Along with pest control, Terminix offers other services, like moisture control, mechanical exclusion, home disinfection services, and attic insulation.
Started in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has become one of the most reputable in the pest control industry. Its exterminators complete 160 hours of training. Plus, due to its big network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify problem pests and areas and develop a suitable treatment plan. Each scheduled service comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your exterminator will return for another visit.
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest pest control company, representing hundreds of brands worldwide. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control providers in North America. These include J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both eliminating existing pests and preventing future infestations. Depending on where you live, the pest control company may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control companies are equal when it comes to reputation, proficiency, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the right option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that is able to handle the type of pest you have, whether it’s roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), on top of proper state licensing. These credentials indicate that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also inquire about continuing education policies and total training hours.
We advise checking out 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 ongoing education technicians receive to stay current on the latest pest control techniques and treatment methods. When you choose an exterminator from our list of Chamblee's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for providers offering “green” accreditations to get more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about humane trapping programs that don't harm pests like mice or snakes. Keep in mind that more potent methods might be a better option for major infestations. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control provides usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will come back and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is taken care of. One-time treatments might not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified your top pest control providers, contact each one with these questions:
Assess potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to select a qualified provider to effectively take care of your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
There are a variety of pests in Chamblee, ranging from harmless annoyances to disease-carrying insects. For an idea of the most common pests in the city, we studied the pests discussed in around 10 million posts on social media.
The top pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, have many locations, and have been in the industry for a long time.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property regularly is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your house.
For the most part, the chemicals used in pest control are safe. Even so, they need to be handled by a trained professional to ensure they’re used safely, which is especially important if you have young children. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying out of your home for a certain amount of time. This is usually 2 to 4 hours, but can be as much as 24 hours.
In a town like Chamblee, where the cost of living is remarkably high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. How much pest control costs varies depending on several factors, including what type of pests are infesting your home and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, but a quarterly treatment plan is generally cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
We advise quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly in Chamblee, where the heat can make pests more prevalent. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
