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 companies by comparing contracts, costs, customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, state availability, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of experience in the pest control business. With the amount of experience the company has, it’s easy to see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix handles all types of pest problems for residential and commercial customers. These include termites, roaches, opossums, ants, spiders, rodents, and raccoons. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified pest control expert will assess your situation and outline a suitable control plan.
Orkin Pest Control is based in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the longest-running pest control companies with a expansive network of branches. Its pest control specialists undergo 160 hours of training. Plus, because of its large network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin offers an expert property inspection to identify potential problems and draw up an appropriate treatment plan. Orkin can schedule regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurrent pest problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service line.
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest and most widely recognized pest control company, which is comprised of hundreds of brands worldwide. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers such as Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X, which provide individual services.
Rentokil and its partners take care of the following pests: moths, spiders, ants, flies, bed bugs, bees, mosquitoes, wasps, crickets, and cockroaches. Its services consist of preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control providers are the same in reputation, skill set, and competence. Researching providers helps you identify the right choice for your pest issue. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control provider:
You should choose a pest control company that is equipped to handle 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.
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. Holding the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about ongoing educational requirements.
Look through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Confirm through customer feedback that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive ongoing education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you select a provider from our list of Panthersville'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” certified solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or raccoons nesting nearby. Keep in mind that 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. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will come back and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is handled. One-time treatments might not have reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified your top exterminators, contact each one with these questions:
Evaluate potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to pick the right provider to effectively take care of your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Many kinds of pests find their way into Panthersville residences. Some are relatively harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can give homeowners anxiety. We examined around 10 million posts on social media to uncover the most common pests infesting local homes.
The top pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They cover all common pests, have locations all around the country, and have been in business for several decades.
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. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from coming back.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and do thorough research. We recommend obtaining quotes from several companies and reading through reviews to help figure out which company is the right one for you.
Many Panthersville 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 per visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several providers for a quote.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. This is because nests and colony numbers will get much higher when it's hotter, so spraying in the spring can help prevent your home from getting too many pests later.
