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 companies by analyzing state availability, contracts, customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, costs, and more.
This is how the top companies in Milton ranked:
Terminix is one of the biggest and oldest pest control companies in the world, with branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. With this experience, it’s easy to see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix has both one-off extermination services and seasonal pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Terminix’s typical pest regimen includes a home inspection and initial treatment, with three additional treatments over the course of a year.
Orkin has been in the business for over 100 years. It has excellent consumer reviews and trained pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin can protect your home from many common pests, including silverfish, cockroaches, ants, and spiders. Once the initial treatment, your Orkin exterminator will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t come back. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest and most widely recognized pest control company, which is comprised of hundreds of brands worldwide. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control companies in North America. These include J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control expert will focus on both eliminating current pests and preventing future infestations. Rentokil’s treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Pest control providers vary in credibility, knowledge, and skill. It's important to research services to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that has experience handling the type of pest you have, whether it’s roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to explain their approach for treating 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. Possessing the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about regular training updates.
Read online reviews on Google and Yelp before scheduling a pest control appointment. This can help you confirm 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 most up-to-date pest control methods. When you select a company from our list of the top pest control in Milton, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for services that use “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or other burrowing rodents. 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. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control providers usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a company will come back to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have reduced your options to your top exterminators, reach out to each one and ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will enable you to hire the best provider to effectively control your pest situation at a fair price.
Milton is home to several pests, from wildlife to insects. Our experts reviewed around 10 million online discussions to pinpoint the pests that create the most issues in the area.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're highly regarded 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 two or three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
For the most part, the chemicals used in pest control are safe. Even so, they need to be handled by a trained professional to ensure they’re used properly. After your house has been sprayed, your exterminator will recommend staying out of your home for a certain period of time. This is generally 2 to 4 hours, but can be a maximum of 24 hours.
To find the best pest control company for you, the key is to take time to do thorough research. We recommend obtaining quotes from multiple companies and looking at reviews to help figure out which company best suits your needs.
Many Milton 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 a visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control 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 you from getting too many pests later.
