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 providers by comparing costs, customer reviews, contracts, pest control treatments offered, state availability, and more.
Here’s how the 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. Terminix has received numerous 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 has both one-time extermination services and routine pest control. Plus, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
Orkin Pest Control is based in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the longest-running pest control companies with a large network of branches. It has excellent customer reviews and professional pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin deals with many common pests, including silverfish, spiders, cockroaches, and ants. Orkin can book regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurrent pest problems or any other urgent pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has nearly 100 years’ worth of experience dealing with pests. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control branches like Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil and its partners control for the following pests: bees, wasps, ants, mosquitoes, spiders, cockroaches, crickets, flies, moths, and bed bugs. Its treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Not all pest control companies are the same when it comes to credibility, knowledge, and competence. It's important to do your research to determine the most suitable option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control professional:
You should choose a pest control company that has expertise handling 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 company, 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). Having these credentials indicates that the technicians have adequate training. Ask 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 latest pest control methods. When you choose an exterminator from our list of Fremont'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” certifications if you want more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about humane trapping programs that don't harm pests like mice or squirrels. Keep in mind that traditional solutions might be a better option for major infestations. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. The guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat for free if you still have pests in your home following the initial visit. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have reduced your options to your top exterminators, reach out to each one to ask questions such as:
Thoroughly evaluate potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you hire the best provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
A variety of pests end up finding their way into Fremont residences. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can cause anxiety. We examined around 10 million social media posts 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 help get rid of 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. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from coming back.
The key to finding the right exterminator for you is to contact multiple companies and get quotes from them. You should also be sure to read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Fremont homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several companies for a quote.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’re just interested in preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your house is in the spring before colony numbers get too high when it's warmer. But it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
