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 narrowed down the top pest control companies by comparing customer reviews, costs, state availability, and more.
Here’s how the top companies ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of experience in the pest control business. With this breadth of experience, it’s easy to see why Terminix is one of the top companies in the country.
Terminix’s specialty is termites, but they help with much more than just that. Their other services include: rodents, spiders, mosquitoes, ants, ticks, cockroaches, and wildlife control including squirrels, raccoons, opossums, skunks, and more. In addition to pest control, Terminix provides other services, including moisture control, attic insulation, home disinfection services, and mechanical exclusion.
If you need quick pest control service in La Grange Park, Orkin could be the company for you. Since 1901, Orkin has become one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Because of its large network, Orkin can offer same-day or next-day service.
Orkin’s most popular pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin’s most common pest control service plan is also seasonal, which means your home will be treated several times over the course of a year.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of industry experience. The company provides innovative pest control solutions for homeowners and business owners. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control providers in North America. These include Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil exterminates the common pests in La Grange Park, including crickets, flies, bees, wasps, mosquitoes, bed bugs, moths, cockroaches, spiders, and ants. Rentokil’s treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Not all pest control businesses are identical when it comes to reputation, knowledge, and effectiveness. It's important to do your research to determine the best option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
When selecting a pest control company, look for technicians that are licensed by the state and certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Having these credentials shows that a technician has adequate training. Ask the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
Before scheduling an appointment, take the time to read online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to see which providers have a proven track record of providing positive experiences and effective services. Also look 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 select a provider from our list of La Grange Park'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 gentle catch and release methods for larger animals like mice or snakes. Keep in mind that more potent treatments might be a better option for major infestations. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control professionals usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a provider will return to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments might not include these reservice warranties.
Once you have selected your top pest control providers, contact each one and ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control companies using these questions. This will enable you to select the best provider to effectively control your pest situation at a fair price.
Different pests show up in different places. In La Grange Park, there are a few different ones that residents may deal with. We reviewed around 10 million posts on social media to identify which pests were causing the most trouble for residents.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're well-respected in the industry and cover all common pests.
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. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
There are some pests you can handle yourself. For example, if you see some ants or a stray wasp, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some situations warrant bringing in the professionals. If you have a large infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
In a town like La Grange Park, where the cost of living is high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. The cost of pest control depends on several factors, such as what kind of pests are troubling you and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, but a quarterly treatment plan is generally cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should seek 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 spray your home 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.
