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 top pest control experts to help you find the right provider for you. We assessed state availability, customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, contracts, costs, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix ranks as one of the top four pest control companies in the world, and it has been assisting homeowners with staying pest-free for over 90 years. With the amount of experience the company has, it’s easy to see why Terminix is one of the top companies in the country.
Terminix is most widely known for its specialty termite services, but they handle much more than that. Their other services include: ants, cockroaches, ticks, rodents, spiders, mosquitoes, and wildlife control such as skunks, opossums, squirrels, raccoons, and more. Terminix’s general pest regimen consists of a home inspection and preliminary treatment, with three seasonal treatments over the course of a year.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. It has positive customer reviews and professional pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Pests Orkin deals with includes wasps, crickets, cockroaches, centipedes, hornets, bees, moths, termites, spiders, fleas, and more. Orkin can set up regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurring pest problems or any other urgent pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service line.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners remove common pests for over 90 years. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers including Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich, which provide tailored services.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both eliminating existing pests and preventing future infestations. Rentokil’s services cover preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control businesses are the same in reputation, background, and competence. Evaluating providers helps you identify the right choice for your pest situation. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should clearly lay out its area of expertise.
When choosing a pest control company, 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). Having 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 scheduling a pest control appointment. Confirm through customer feedback 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 continuing regular education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you select a provider from our list of the top pest control in Bruno, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for companies with “green” accreditations if you want more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about humane trapping programs that don't harm pests like mice or squirrels. Keep in mind that stronger solutions might be a better option for major infestations. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. The guarantees mean the provider will return and re-treat for free if your home still has pests following the initial visit. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected a few top-rated pest management providers, have conversations with each of them and come prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the most qualified provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
Bruno is home to various pests, from insects to wildlife. Our team examined around 10 million online discussions to pinpoint the pests that are the biggest headache in the area.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're well known in the industry and cover all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your house once every quarter. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from coming back.
For the most part, pest control chemicals are safe. However, they must be handled by a professional exterminator to ensure they’re used properly. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying out of your home for a certain amount of time. This is typically 2 to 4 hours, but can be up to 24 hours.
To find the best pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and do thorough research. We recommend getting quotes from multiple companies and reading through reviews to help figure out which company best fits your needs.
Many Bruno 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 figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for an estimate.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should get 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 house is in the spring before 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 in other seasons and see effective results.
