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 identified the top pest control companies by comparing costs, customer reviews, state availability, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries around the globe. It has also been in business for almost 100 years. With this breadth of experience, it’s easy to see why Terminix is one of the top companies in the country.
Terminix deals with all types of pest issues for residential and commercial customers. These include ants, spiders, roaches, termites, raccoons, rodents, and opossums. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the most reputable pest control companies in the country. Because of its large network, Orkin can provide same-day or next-day service.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify problem pests and areas and draw up a suitable treatment plan. Orkin’s most common pest control service plan is also quarterly, which means your home will be treated several times over the course of a year.
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest pest control company, representing hundreds of brands worldwide. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several local pest control branches like Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil and its partners deal with the following pests: ants, mosquitoes, moths, bees, cockroaches, spiders, flies, crickets, bed bugs, and wasps. After the initial inspection of your home, a technician will return to your property every quarter.
Pest control services aren't all identical when it comes to reputation, knowledge, and capability. It’s important to research businesses to find the right one for your specific situation. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control provider:
You should 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 clearly describe on their website its expertise with your specific pest.
When selecting a pest control provider, 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. Ask the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
Look 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 ongoing education on the latest and most innovative pest control treatments. When you choose a provider from our list of Mountain Park'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 more natural, eco-friendly pest control solutions, look for companies that have "green" certifications. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or raccoons nesting in trees, you can also inquire about humane catch and release methods. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective; consider the traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control providers normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat your home at no cost if there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected your top pest control providers, reach out to each one to ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will help you choose the best provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
A variety of pests end up finding their way into Mountain Park houses. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can cause anxiety. We reviewed around 10 million online conversations to uncover the most common pests invading local homes.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies in Mountain Park are Orkin and Terminix. They're highly regarded in the industry and cover all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your house once every quarter. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
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 — and how long you need to 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.
To find the best pest control company for you, the key is to take time to do diligent research. We recommend getting estimates from multiple companies and reading reviews to help figure out which company is the right one for you.
Many Mountain Park homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for a quote.
We advise quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly in Mountain Park, where the heat can make pests more prevalent. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
