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 providers, we took into consideration several factors including types of pest control treatments offered, industry experience, customer service, coverage, and more.
This is how the top companies in Holly Springs 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 exterminates all kinds of pest problems for homeowners and business owners. These include opossums, roaches, rodents, ants, spiders, termites, and raccoons. In addition to pest control, Terminix has other services, such as moisture control, mechanical exclusion, home disinfection services, and attic insulation.
Orkin has been in the business for over 100 years. Its pest control specialists need to undergo 160 hours of training. Plus, because of its large network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin offers an expert property inspection to identify potential problems and draw up an appropriate treatment plan. After your initial visit, your pest control specialist will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have stayed away for good. If they have, your local technicians can help
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has close to 100 years’ worth of experience getting rid of pests. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers including Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich, which can provide tailored services.
It protects from 36 of the most common pests including cockroaches, mice, flies, bed bugs, moths, spiders, rats, and more. After the initial inspection and treatment of your property, a technician will service your property every four months.
Not all pest control companies are equal when it comes to reputation, proficiency, and competence. It's important to do your research to determine the right option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control company:
You should look for a pest control company that specializes in treating the pest you have, like rodents, roaches, bed bugs, or termites. The company should explain their process for treating your type of pest.
When selecting 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 inquire about required training hours and continuing education.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to booking a pest control appointment. Verify for yourself that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive consistent education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you choose a provider from our list of Holly Springs' best pest control, 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 services that use “green” accredited 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. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control companies usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a provider will return to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice warranties.
Once you have determined your top exterminators, reach out to each one with these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the right provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
You should know which pests you could encounter in Holly Springs. To help you prepare for the most common pests, we examined social media conversations and created a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're well known in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every quarter or every two to three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but need to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — or are wondering how long you should stay out of your house 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 get rid of yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a stray cockroach, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some infestations warrant bringing in the professionals. If you have a big infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Holly Springs homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To figure 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. The reason is nests and colony numbers will get much higher when it's hotter, so pest control in the spring can help prevent your home from getting too many pests later.
