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:
Today's Homeowner narrowed it down to these pest control providers by comparing costs, contracts, customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, state availability, and more.
Here’s how Lawrenceville’s top companies ranked:
Terminix is one of the largest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with branches across the United States and 22 other countries. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix treats dozens of pests in Lawrenceville, and it offers a 30-day guarantee. Terminix’s typical pest regimen consists of a home inspection and preliminary treatment, followed by three additional treatments over the course of a year.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the longest-running pest control companies with a expansive network of branches. Because of its vast network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin’s most popular pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. Each pest control contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your technician will come back for another visit.
Rentokil, a business service group, is the world's largest pest control company, which owns hundreds of brands worldwide. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control companies in North America. These include J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
It exterminates 36 of the most common pests including rats, flies, cockroaches, mice, moths, spiders, bed bugs, and more. Its treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Not all pest control businesses are the same in credibility, background, and capability. Vetting providers helps you identify the right choice for your pest circumstance. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control provider:
Choose a pest control company that can effectively address your specific problem, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its expertise with your specific pest.
When selecting 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). Possessing these credentials demonstrates 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.
Spend time perusing online reviews on Google and Yelp before committing to a pest control provider. This can help you confirm whether the company consistently provides quality service and positive experiences. Also check the Better Business Bureau for any complaints. Ask the provider whether technicians receive ongoing regular training to stay current on the most up-to-date pest control methods. When you choose a professional from our list of Lawrenceville's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for providers that specialize in “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or raccoons nesting nearby. However, natural options may be less effective for serious infestations. If you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need stronger traditional methods. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control professionals usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a provider will make another visit to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have determined your top exterminators, contact each one with these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the right provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
There are a variety of pests in Lawrenceville, ranging from harmless nuisances to disease-carrying insects. To help you identify the most common pests, we studied social media conversations and compiled a list of the ones mentioned the most.
The top pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They help with all common pests, have locations all around the country, and have been in business for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every quarter. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from returning.
For the most part, pest control chemicals are safe. Even so, they must be handled by a professional exterminator to make sure they’re used safely. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying away from your home for a certain period of time. This is generally 2 to 4 hours, but can be as much as 24 hours.
Many Lawrenceville 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 a visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control companies for an estimate.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’d just like preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your home is in the spring before 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 in other seasons and see effective results.
