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:
We narrowed it down to these pest control companies by analyzing costs, customer reviews, contracts, pest control treatments offered, state availability, and more.
Here’s how the top companies ranked:
Terminix is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries globally. It has also been in business for almost 100 years. The company provides professional pest control treatments that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they exterminate much more than just that. Their other services include: ticks, cockroaches, ants, spiders, mosquitoes, rodents, and wildlife control including opossums, squirrels, raccoons, skunks, and more. Terminix’s typical pest regimen consists of a home inspection and preliminary treatment, with three additional treatments during the 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. Its pest control specialists must complete 160 hours of training. Additionally, due to its big network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin offers an expert property inspection to identify issues and develop treatment plan. Orkin’s typical pest control service plan is also seasonal, so your home will be treated several times over the course of a year.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with providers across the globe and close to a century of experience in the industry. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several regional pest control companies like J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both exterminating current pests and preventing future infestations. Depending on your location, the pest control company may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control businesses are the same in reputation, skill set, and proficiency. Vetting businesses helps you identify the right choice for your pest situation. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control provider:
You should choose a pest control company that has expertise handling your specific problem, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its expertise with your specific pest.
Look for pest control companies that employ technicians with certifications in pest control methods from reputable industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Having the proper credentials indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about ongoing educational requirements.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Ensure by reading reviews that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive continuing regular education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you select a provider from our list of Loganville's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more natural, eco-friendly pest control solutions, look for providers that have "green" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or raccoons nesting in trees, you can also ask about humane catch and release. Bear in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective. You may need to consider the traditional route for a more serious infestation. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control professionals usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a provider will come back to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments might not include these reservice guarantees.
After selecting your top pest management services, contact each one and ask questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will enable you to hire the right provider to effectively manage your pest situation at a fair price.
You should know which pests you might come across in Loganville. For an idea of the most common pests in the city, we examined the pests discussed in around 10 million posts on social media.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're respected in the industry and cover all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property routinely is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your house.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but have 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 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 best pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and research your options thoroughly. We recommend getting quotes from multiple companies and reading through reviews to help figure out which company best fits your needs.
In a town like Loganville, where the cost of living is high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. The cost of pest control depends on several factors, such as what type of pests are infesting your home and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, while a quarterly treatment plan is usually cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’re just interested in preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come 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 in other seasons and see effective results.
