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 has narrowed down the best pest control companies to help you find the right provider for you. We assessed customer reviews, contracts, pest control treatments offered, state availability, costs, and more.
This is how we ranked them:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries globally. It has also been in the industry for almost 100 years. It uses the latest innovations in pest control to exterminate insects and unwanted wildlife wherever they are.
Terminix helps with dozens of pests in Bensenville, and it offers a 30-day guarantee. Along with pest control, Terminix offers services, including mechanical exclusion, home disinfection services, moisture control, and attic insulation.
Orkin Pest Control is based in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the longest-running pest control companies with a large network of branches. Its pest control specialists complete 160 hours of training. Plus, because of its big network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Pests Orkin handles includes scorpions, rats, ticks, mice, flies, carpenter ants, centipedes, hornets, wasps, fleas, and more. Orkin can set up regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurring problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact a customer service representative.
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest pest control company, which is made up of hundreds of brands worldwide. The well-known brand owns the North American pest control providers J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
It protects from 36 of the most common pests including rats, moths, mice, flies, spiders, cockroaches, bed bugs, and more. The company guarantees satisfaction with its treatments. If you still have pests after service, Rentokil will visit again until the issue is resolved.
Not all pest control companies are the identical in reputation, skill set, and effectiveness. Vetting companies helps you identify the right choice for your pest issue. Focus on these key factors 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 termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly lay out its area of expertise.
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. Having the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about continuing education opportunities.
Before scheduling an appointment, spend time reading online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to see which providers have a proven track record of providing positive experiences and effective services. Also check for any complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Ask about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you select a professional from our list of Bensenville's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more eco-friendly and natural pest control solutions, look for providers that have "green" certifications. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or raccoons nesting in trees, you can also ask about humane catch and release methods. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective. You may need to consider a more traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. The guarantees mean the company will come back and re-treat for free if your home still has pests after the initial visit. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
After picking your top pest control companies, reach out to each one with questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the best provider to safely and successfully eliminate your pest problem at a fair price.
Different pests show up in different locations. In Bensenville, there are several that residents may deal with. We analyzed around 10 million online discussions to uncover the most common pests invading local homes.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're respected in the industry and cover all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property regularly is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your home.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire a company depends on your situation. You’ll want to take into consideration factors like what chemicals need to be used, how much the pest control will cost, and the size of the infestation. Additionally, you may want to also look into professional pest control if you're concerned about safety.
Pest control involves removing unwanted insects like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or animals from your property. When you hire a pest control company, a professional exterminator will do an inspection. Then they will use various techniques to remove the pests and stop them from coming back, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Bensenville homeowners are concerned 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 contacting several pest control companies for an estimate.
We recommend quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly if needed. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
