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've narrowed down the top pest control companies so you can find the right provider for you. We considered pest control treatments offered, costs, contracts, state availability, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how Orland’s top providers ranked:
Terminix has 300 branches in over 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for over 90 years. The company offers cutting-edge pest control treatments that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix has both one-off extermination services and seasonal pest control. Plus, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified pest control expert will assess your situation and detail a suitable control plan.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the longest-running pest control companies with a large network of branches. It has positive customer reviews and trained pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin’s typical pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin’s most common pest control service is also quarterly, so your home will be treated several times during the year.
Rentokil, a business service group, is the world's largest pest control company, representing hundreds of brands worldwide. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers including Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator, which can provide tailored services.
Rentokil can help you with the common pests in Orland, including spiders, cockroaches, bed bugs, moths, crickets, bees, flies, mosquitoes, wasps, and ants. Depending on where you live, the pest control company may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Pest control services aren't all equal when it comes to credibility, knowledge, and effectiveness. It’s important to research businesses to find the right one for your specific circumstance. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control provider:
It's best to choose a pest control company that can effectively address your specific problem, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should have clearly laid out its expertise with your specific pest.
When choosing 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). Possessing these credentials demonstrates that the technicians have adequate training. Inquire with the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to booking a pest control appointment. Verify for yourself that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive ongoing education on the latest and most innovative pest control treatments. When you select an exterminator from our list of Orland's best pest control, 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 raccoons nesting nearby. Keep in mind that natural options may be less effective for serious infestations, and if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the provider will make another visit and re-treat for free if your home still has pests after the initial visit. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have reduced your options to your top pest management companies, reach out to each one with questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the right provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
Orland 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.
The top pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They can treat all common pests, service many locations, and have been in business for several decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every quarter. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
A pest control company gets rid of unwanted insects or animals that have infested a property. Pest control also consists of preventative measures taken to stop said pests from returning, which can happen at any point in Orland, but usually during the warm summers.
Many Orland 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 per visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several providers for a quote.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will get much higher as it gets warmer, so pest control in the spring can help prevent your home from getting too many pests later.
