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 team at Today's Homeowner has narrowed down the best pest control companies so you can find the right provider for you. We analyzed costs, customer reviews, state availability, pest control treatments offered, contracts, and more.
Here’s how New Castle’s top providers ranked:
Terminix has several hundred branches in more than 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for almost 100 years. It uses the latest pest control techniques to rid your property of pests no matter where they are.
Terminix helps with many types of pests in New Castle, and it offers a 30-day guarantee. Terminix’s general pest regimen consists of a home inspection and preliminary treatment, with three additional treatments during the year.
Founded in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has grown to be one of the most reputable in the pest control industry. It has excellent consumer reviews and qualified exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin offers a professional property inspection to identify potential problems and draw up a suitable treatment plan. Each contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your exterminator will return for another visit.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with branches across the globe and nearly a century of experience in the industry. The large brand owns the North American pest control providers J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control specialist will focus on both getting rid of existing pests and preventing future infestations. Its services consist of preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Pest control services aren't all the same when it comes to credibility, expertise, and competence. It’s important to research providers to find the right one for your specific circumstance. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control company:
You should choose a pest control company that can effectively address your specific problem, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly describe on their website its expertise with your specific pest.
When selecting a pest control provider, look for technicians that have the proper state licensing and are certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Obtaining these credentials shows that a technician has adequate training. Ask the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
Look 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 for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive ongoing education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you choose a provider from our list of New Castle's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more eco-friendly and natural pest control solutions, look for providers that have "green" certifications. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or squirrels invading your attic, you can also ask about humane catch and release methods. Bear in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective; consider a more traditional route for a more serious infestation. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control professionals usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a company will return to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments might not include these reservice warranties.
Once you have identified a few highly reviewed exterminator services, have conversations with each of them and be prepared to ask these types of questions:
Analyze potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the best provider to safely and effectively get rid of your pest problem at a reasonable price.
There are a variety of pests in New Castle, ranging from harmless nuisances to ones that can damage your home. For an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we examined the pests discussed in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
The best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They cover all common pests, service many locations, and have been in the industry for a long time.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property once every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your house.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and research your options thoroughly. We recommend getting quotes from several companies and looking at reviews to help figure out which company is the best for you.
Many New Castle homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for a quote.
We advise quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly if needed. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
