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 to help you find the best provider for you. We assessed costs, customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, state availability, contracts, and more.
Here’s how the top providers ranked:
Terminix is one of the largest and oldest pest control companies in the world, with many branches across the United States and 22 other countries. The company provides professional pest control services that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they help with much more than that. Their other services include: spiders, ants, ticks, rodents, cockroaches, mosquitoes, and wildlife control such as raccoons, opossums, squirrels, skunks, and more. Along with pest control, Terminix offers other services, such as home disinfection services, moisture control, mechanical exclusion, and attic insulation.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the longest-running pest control companies with a expansive network of branches. It has positive customer reviews and well-trained exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin can protect your home from many common pests, including cockroaches, spiders, ants, and silverfish. After your first visit, your technician will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have stayed away for good. If they have, your local technicians can help
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners exterminate common pests for over 90 years. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers including J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X, which provide tailored services.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both eliminating current pests and preventing future infestations. Depending on the city, the pest control company may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control services are the same when it comes to reputation, expertise, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the right option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control provider:
You should choose a pest control company that is equipped to handle your specific problem, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should clearly describe on their website its expertise with your specific pest.
The ideal pest control company will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by groups like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials demonstrate that the technicians have finished proper training. You'll also want to question each company about continuing training for their employees.
We advise looking at customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of continuing education technicians receive to stay current on the latest pest control techniques and treatment methods. When you choose a professional from our list of Peru's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for providers that advertise “green” certifications. For bigger animals such as mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a substantial pest problem, you may need more potent traditional solutions. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will make another visit and re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have reduced your options to your top pest management companies, contact each one with questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will help you select the right provider to safely and successfully eliminate your pest problem at a fair price.
You should know which pests you could encounter while living in Peru. We examined around 10 million online conversations to figure out which pests people in different places had the most problems with.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies in Peru are Orkin and Terminix. They're well-respected in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property routinely is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your house.
For the most part, the chemicals used in pest control are safe. That being said, they need to be handled by a professional exterminator to ensure they’re used properly and safely. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying out of your home for a certain amount of time. This is generally 2 to 4 hours, but can be up to 24 hours.
There are some pests you can control yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a rogue spider, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some pest infestations 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.
Many Peru homeowners wonder 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 find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for an estimate.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. This is because nests and colony numbers will grow much larger as it gets warmer, so spraying in the spring can help prevent you from getting too many pests later.
