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 Today's Homeowner team narrowed down the top pest control providers by comparing factors like types of pest control treatments offered, industry experience, customer satisfaction, coverage, and more.
Here’s how the top companies ranked:
Terminix ranks in the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses with their pest problems for over 90 years. Terminix has received several 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 can help you with all kinds of pest problems for residential and commercial customers. These include ants, roaches, rodents, spiders, opossums, raccoons, and termites. Along with pest control, Terminix offers services, such as attic insulation, home disinfection services, moisture control, and mechanical exclusion.
Orkin has been in the industry for over 100 years. Its pest control specialists must complete 160 hours of training. And, because of its large network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify problem pests and areas and draw up an appropriate treatment plan. Each pest control contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your technician will return for another visit.
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with branches across the globe and close to a century of experience in the industry. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control providers in North America. These include Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
It protects from 36 of the most common pests such as spiders, mice, rats, cockroaches, bed bugs, flies, moths, and more. Rentokil’s treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Not all pest control businesses are the equal in reputation, skill set, and effectiveness. Researching providers helps you identify the right choice for your pest situation. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring 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 describe how they treat your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies that employ technicians with 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 indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about continuing education opportunities.
We advise checking out customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and similar sites can tell you whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of ongoing education technicians receive to stay current on the latest pest control techniques and treatment methods. When you select a provider from our list of the top pest control in Brownsburg, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for providers offering “green” certifications to get more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about humane trapping programs that don't harm pests like mice or snakes. Keep in mind that more potent methods might be a better option for significant infestations. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services may not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have compiled a list of a few top contending pest control companies, have conversations with each one and be prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to select the right provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
Pests vary by location. In Brownsburg, there are a few different ones that residents have to deal with. To give you an idea of the most prevalent pests in the city, we reviewed the pests talked about in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
The top pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They help with all common pests, service locations nationwide, and have been in the industry for decades.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property regularly is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your house.
For the most part, pest control chemicals are safe. Even so, they need to be handled by a trained exterminator to make sure they’re used safely. After your house has been sprayed, your exterminator will recommend staying out of your home for a certain period of time. This is typically 2 to 4 hours, but can be a maximum of 24 hours.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take time to do thorough research. We recommend getting quotes from several companies and looking at reviews to help figure out which company is the right one for you.
Many Brownsburg homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several companies for a quote.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you just want preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your home is in the spring before nest and colony numbers get too high when it's warmer. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
