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:
Our team at Today's Homeowner narrowed it down to these pest control providers by analyzing costs, customer reviews, state availability, contracts, pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how Jerome’s top providers ranked:
Terminix is one of the largest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with many branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. It uses the latest innovations in pest control to get rid of pests no matter where they are.
Terminix helps with many types of pests in Jerome, and it guarantees that your pest problems will be solved. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the most trustworthy pest control companies in the country. Its pest control specialists must complete 160 hours of training. And, due to its big network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin’s typical pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin’s most common pest control service plan is also seasonal, which means your home will be treated several times over the course of a year.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with branches across the globe and almost a century of experience in the industry. The well-known brand owns the North American pest control companies J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil can protect your home from the common pests in Jerome, including wasps, moths, cockroaches, crickets, bees, flies, ants, mosquitoes, bed bugs, and spiders. Rentokil uses treatments that are safe for your pets and children.
Not all pest control companies are the identical in reputation, qualifications, and effectiveness. Evaluating providers helps you identify the right choice for your pest situation. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control professional:
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.
Look for pest control companies that employ technicians with certifications in pest control methods from expert organizations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Possessing the proper credentials indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about regular training updates.
Read online reviews on Google and Yelp before scheduling a pest control appointment. This can help you verify 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 consistent training to stay current on the most recent pest control methods. When you choose a professional from our list of Jerome's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for providers that have “green” accreditations if you want more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about gentle catch and release methods for larger animals like mice or squirrels. Keep in mind that more potent treatments might be a better option for major infestations. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control providers normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will make another visit and re-treat your home for free if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't include reservice guarantees.
Once you have narrowed down your top exterminators, reach out to each one and ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control companies using these questions. This will help you hire the most qualified provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
Which pests you see depends on where you live. In Jerome, there are a few different ones that residents may deal with. To give you an idea of the most prevalent pests in the city, we analyzed the pests discussed in around 10 million posts on social media.
The top pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They cover all common pests, service many locations, and have been in business for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your house once every quarter or every two to three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
There are some pests you can control yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a stray wasp, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some situations warrant calling the professionals. If you have a large infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Jerome homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several providers for a quote.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. This is because nests and colony numbers will get much higher as it gets warmer, so spraying in the spring can help prevent your home from getting too many pests later.
