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:
We narrowed it down to these pest control companies by comparing contracts, state availability, customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, costs, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies in Franklin Park ranked:
Terminix is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries around the globe. It has also been in business for almost 100 years. It utilizes the latest pest control techniques to rid your home of pests anywhere you see them.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they help with much more than just that. Their other services include: ants, spiders, ticks, rodents, mosquitoes, cockroaches, and wildlife control such as squirrels, raccoons, opossums, skunks, and more. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified pest control expert will take a look at your situation and detail a suitable control plan.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. Its pest control specialists must complete 160 hours of training. And, because of its large network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin’s most common pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin’s typical pest control service is also seasonal, so your home will be treated several times during the year.
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest and most widely recognized pest control company, which owns hundreds of brands worldwide. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control companies like Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil deals with the common pests in Franklin Park, including spiders, bees, bed bugs, ants, cockroaches, mosquitoes, wasps, moths, crickets, and flies. Depending on where you live, Rentokil and its partners may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control services are the same when it comes to credibility, knowledge, and effectiveness. It's important to do your research to determine the right option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control provider:
It's best to 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 have clearly laid out its expertise with your specific pest.
When choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians that have the proper state licensing and are certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Possessing these credentials indicates that a technician has adequate training. Question the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
Peruse reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before scheduling a pest control appointment. Ensure by reading reviews that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive continuing regular education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you choose a professional from our list of Franklin Park'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 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 methods. Bear in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective; consider the traditional route for a more serious infestation. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control professionals normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will come back and re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have reduced your options to your top pest control providers, contact each one with questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to select the best provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
There are a variety of pests in Franklin Park, ranging from harmless annoyances to disease-carrying insects. We generated a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing what pests were often mentioned on social media platforms.
The top pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They help with all common pests, service locations all around the country, and have been in the industry 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. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
The key to finding the right exterminator for you is to get in touch with several companies and get quotes from them. You should also be sure to read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Franklin Park homeowners are concerned 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 contacting several companies for an estimate.
We recommend quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly if needed. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
