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’s experts identified the top pest control companies by comparing customer reviews, costs, state availability, and more.
Here’s how Kankakee’s top providers ranked:
Terminix has several hundred branches in more than 22 countries and has been in business for over 90 years. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix helps with many types of pests in Kankakee, and if you aren’t 100% satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified pest control expert will take a look at your situation and outline a suitable control plan.
If you need immediate pest control service in Kankakee, Orkin could be the right company for you. Founded in 1901, Orkin has become one of the largest pest control companies in the country. It has positive consumer reviews and well-trained exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin can protect your home from many common pests, such as ants, cockroaches, spiders, and silverfish. Each pest control contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your pest control specialist will return for another visit.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of industry experience. The company provides innovative pest control treatments for homeowners and business owners. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers such as Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X, which can provide tailored services.
It helps with 36 of the most common pests such as bed bugs, mice, flies, moths, spiders, rats, cockroaches, and more. After the initial inspection of your home, a technician will treat your property every quarter.
Not all pest control services are the identical in reputation, experience, and proficiency. Evaluating services helps you identify the right choice for your pest circumstance. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing 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 thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
The ideal pest management provider will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by organizations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials demonstrate that the technicians have completed proper training. You'll also want to ask each company about ongoing education for their employees.
We suggest looking at customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and similar sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and has happy customers. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of continuing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you choose an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Kankakee, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for providers that specialize in “green” certified solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or squirrels in your attic. Keep in mind that natural options may be less effective for serious infestations. If you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need stronger traditional methods. 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.
Leading pest control professionals usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will return and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is handled. One-time treatments may not have reservice guarantees.
After selecting your top exterminators, call 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 resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
Kankakee is home to various pests, from wildlife to insects. We studied around 10 million social media posts to uncover the most common pests invading local homes.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Kankakee are Orkin and Terminix. They're well-respected in the industry and cover all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every two or three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from coming back.
There are some pests you can get rid of yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a stray cockroach, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some pest infestations warrant bringing in the professionals. If you have an out-of-control infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Kankakee homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically 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 getting in touch with several providers for a quote.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. This is because nests and colony numbers will grow much larger as it gets warmer, so pest control in the spring can help prevent your home from getting too many pests later.
