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:
The team at Today's Homeowner narrowed it down to these pest control providers by comparing costs, state availability, contracts, pest control treatments offered, customer reviews, and more.
This is how we ranked the top pest control companies in Statesboro:
Terminix has several hundred branches in over 22 countries and has been in business for about 100 years. Terminix has received multiple 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’s specialty is termites, but they take care of much more than just that. Their other services include: ants, mosquitoes, rodents, cockroaches, ticks, spiders, and wildlife control such as raccoons, skunks, squirrels, opossums, and more. Terminix’s general pest regimen consists of a home inspection and preliminary treatment, with three seasonal treatments over the course of a year.
If you need immediate pest control service in Statesboro, Orkin could be the right company for you. Founded in 1901, Orkin has grown to be one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its pest control specialists need to complete 160 hours of training. In addition, because of its big network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Pests Orkin deals with includes centipedes, crickets, hornets, flies, ticks, spiders, mice, termites, silverfish, earwigs, and more. Orkin’s general pest control service plan is also seasonal, so your home will be treated several times during the year.
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest pest control company, which owns hundreds of brands worldwide. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers including J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X, which provide tailored services.
Rentokil and its partners handle the following pests: ants, spiders, bed bugs, bees, mosquitoes, cockroaches, wasps, flies, crickets, and moths. Rentokil’s treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Pest control services vary in reputation, proficiency, and effectiveness. It's important to research services to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that has experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly lay out its area of expertise.
The ideal pest control company will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by organizations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials demonstrate that the technicians have received proper training. You'll also want to ask each company about ongoing education for their employees.
We highly recommend checking out customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of ongoing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you select an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Statesboro, 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" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or raccoons nesting in trees, you can also inquire about humane catch and release. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective; consider the traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control provides usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will return and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is taken care of. One-time treatments might not come with reservice guarantees.
After choosing your top pest control companies, contact each one and ask questions such as these:
Carefully review potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you select the right provider to safely and effectively get rid of your pest problem at a reasonable price.
There are various kinds of pests in Statesboro, ranging from harmless annoyances to disease-carrying insects. We analyzed around 10 million online discussions to find out which pests people in different areas had the most problems with.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Statesboro are Terminix and Orkin. They're well known in the industry and cover all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every quarter or every two to three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
To find the best pest control company for you, the key is to take time to do diligent research. We recommend getting quotes from several companies and reading through reviews to help figure out which company best fits your needs.
Many Statesboro homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To determine 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 Statesboro, where pests can be more common because of the heat. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
