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 down the top pest control companies by considering factors like types of pest control treatments offered, customer satisfaction, coverage, industry experience, and more.
This is how the top companies in Jerome ranked:
Terminix is one of the biggest and oldest pest control companies in the world, with many branches across the United States and 22 other countries. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix treats all kinds of pests in Jerome, and if you’re not 100% satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. In addition to pest control, Terminix offers other services, including attic insulation, home disinfection services, moisture control, and mechanical exclusion.
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 moths, flies, mosquitoes, crickets, bees, ants, cockroaches, bed bugs, spiders, and wasps. Its services cover preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control companies are the same when it comes to reputation, knowledge, and effectiveness. It's important to do your research to determine the ideal option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
When choosing a pest control company, look for technicians that are licensed by the state and certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Obtaining these credentials demonstrates that a technician has adequate training. Question the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
Take some time to 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 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 services that use “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or squirrels in your attic. However, natural options may be less effective for serious infestations, and if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control professionals usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will return and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is handled. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have determined your top pest control providers, reach out to each one to ask these questions:
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 several that residents may deal with. So you can have an idea of the most common pests in the city, we reviewed the pests talked about in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're respected in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every quarter. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire a company depends on the situation. You’ll want to take into consideration factors like how much the pest control will cost, what chemicals need to be used, and the size of the infestation. In addition, you may want to also consider professional pest control if you're concerned about safety.
Many Jerome homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control companies for a quote.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. This is because nests and colony numbers will grow much larger as it gets warmer, so spraying in the spring can help prevent your property from getting too many pests later.
