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 companies by analyzing contracts, state availability, pest control treatments offered, costs, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries globally. It has also been in business for almost 100 years. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix treats dozens of pests in Glendale Heights, and it guarantees that your pest problems will be solved. In addition to pest control, Terminix offers services, such as mechanical exclusion, home disinfection services, moisture control, and attic insulation.
Orkin has been in the business for over 100 years. It has excellent customer reviews and trained pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin takes care of many common pests, such as spiders, ants, cockroaches, and silverfish. After the initial treatment, your Orkin expert will follow up to check that the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can assist.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with branches across the globe and nearly a century of experience in the industry. The global brand owns the North American pest control providers J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both eliminating existing pests and preventing future infestations. Its services include preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control companies are the equal in credibility, qualifications, and capability. Researching companies helps you identify the right choice for your pest situation. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should be able to provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from qualified industry groups, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Holding the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about ongoing educational requirements.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before booking a pest control appointment. Confirm through customer feedback that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive ongoing education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you select a professional from our list of the top pest control in Glendale Heights, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for providers offering “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 snakes. Keep in mind that stronger solutions might be a better option for significant 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.
Reputable pest control companies usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a provider will come back to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice guarantees.
After choosing your top exterminators, call each one with questions such as these:
Analyze potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to choose the best provider to effectively solve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Glendale Heights is home to a number of pests, from insects to wildlife. We studied around 10 million social media posts to identify the pests that were causing the most trouble for residents.
The top pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They cover all common pests, have many locations, and have been in the industry for several decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every two or three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from coming back.
A pest control company gets rid of unwanted bugs or animals that have infested your home. Pest control also consists of preventative measures that help stop said pests from returning, which can happen at any point in Glendale Heights, but usually during the warm summers.
Many Glendale Heights homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 per 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 providers for a quote.
We recommend quarterly pest control treatments, 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.
