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:
Today's Homeowner narrowed it down to these pest control providers by analyzing costs, state availability, pest control treatments offered, contracts, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how the top companies in Chanute ranked:
Terminix is one of the largest and oldest pest control companies in the world, with branches across the United States and 22 other countries. With the amount of experience the company has, it’s easy to see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix exterminates all types of pest issues for residential and commercial customers. These include roaches, ants, raccoons, opossums, termites, spiders, and rodents. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified exterminator will take a look at your situation and provide a suitable control plan.
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 often offer next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin offers an expert property inspection to identify potential problems and draw up a suitable treatment plan. After your initial visit, your technician will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have stayed away for good. If they have, your local technicians can assist
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with providers across the globe and close to a century of experience in the industry. 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.
It protects against 36 of the most common pests including bed bugs, mice, moths, rats, flies, cockroaches, spiders, and more. Rentokil uses treatments that are safe for your pets and children.
Pest control providers vary in credibility, knowledge, and competence. It's important to research providers to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control company:
You should 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.
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. Having the proper credentials indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about regular training updates.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to booking a pest control appointment. Confirm through customer feedback that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. 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 Chanute'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 companies that promote “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or squirrels in your attic. Keep in mind that natural options may be less effective for serious infestations; if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need stronger traditional methods. No matter your approach to pest control, all 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 make another visit to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice guarantees.
After choosing your top exterminators, call each one and ask questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to choose the best provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
Many kinds of pests find their way into Chanute houses. Some are relatively harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can give homeowners anxiety. To help you identify the most common pests, we examined posts on social media and created a list of the ones mentioned the most.
The best pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They help with all common pests, have many locations, and have been in business for several 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 animals from coming inside your home.
For the most part, pest control chemicals are safe. That being said, they need to be handled by a trained professional to make sure they’re used properly. After your house has been sprayed, your exterminator will recommend staying out of your home for a certain amount of time. This is generally 2 to 4 hours, but can be as much as 24 hours.
To find the best pest control company for you, the key is to take time to do diligent research. We recommend getting estimates from multiple companies and looking at reviews to help determine which company is the right one for you.
Many Chanute 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 per visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several providers for a quote.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’re just interested in preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your house is in the spring before nest and colony numbers get too high in the hotter part of the year. But it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
