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 it down to these pest control companies by comparing customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, state availability, contracts, costs, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix is one of the largest and longest running 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 takes care of all types of pest problems for homeowners and business owners. These include roaches, spiders, termites, ants, rodents, raccoons, and opossums. Along with pest control, Terminix has other services, such as moisture control, attic insulation, home disinfection services, and mechanical exclusion.
Orkin Pest Control is based in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest 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.
Pests Orkin deals with are cockroaches, yellow jackets, hornets, rats, bees, centipedes, carpenter ants, wasps, flies, fleas, and more. Orkin can arrange regular follow-up visits. Also, if you have recurring pest problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service line.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners remove common pests for over 90 years. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers such as J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X, which can provide tailored services.
It deals with 36 of the most common pests including mice, flies, cockroaches, rats, bed bugs, moths, spiders, and more. Rentokil’s services consist of preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control services are the equal in credibility, qualifications, and effectiveness. Vetting companies helps you identify the right choice for your pest circumstance. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that has 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. Possessing the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about continuing education opportunities.
Before booking an appointment, spend time reading online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a reputation for providing positive experiences and effective services. Also check for any complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about ongoing training at the company as well as how its technicians stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you choose a provider from our list of Hall's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for providers offering “green” certifications. For bigger animals such as mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a moderate to serious pest problem, you may need stronger traditional treatments. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, 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. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will come back and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is taken care of. One-time treatments might not include reservice guarantees.
After choosing your top pest management services, contact each one and ask questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the most qualified provider to safely and successfully eliminate your pest problem at a fair price.
A variety of pests can find their way into Hall residences. Some are relatively harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can cause anxiety. So you can have an idea of the most common pests in the city, we reviewed the pests mentioned in around 10 million social media posts.
The top pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They help with all common pests, have locations all around the country, and have been in business for decades.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property routinely is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your home.
For the most part, the chemicals used in pest control are safe. Even so, they must be handled by a professional exterminator to ensure they’re used properly. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying out of your home for a certain period of time. This is usually 2 to 4 hours, but can be a maximum of 24 hours.
In a town like Hall, where the cost of living is low compared to other cities, the cost of pest control may be a concern. The cost of pest control varies based on several factors, such as what kind of pests you have an issue with and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, but a quarterly treatment plan is usually cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. This is because nests and colony numbers will get much higher as it gets warmer, so spraying in the spring can help prevent you from getting too many pests later.
