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 narrowed it down to these pest control providers by analyzing pest control treatments offered, customer reviews, costs, state availability, contracts, and more.
Here’s how the top providers ranked:
Terminix has 300 branches in over 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for almost 100 years. With this experience, you can see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix provides both one-time extermination services and routine pest control. In addition, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
Started 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. Its pest control specialists need to undergo 160 hours of training. And, because of its big network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — service.
Pests Orkin deals with includes hornets, moths, cockroaches, centipedes, earwigs, bees, wasps, fleas, spiders, crickets, and more. Once the first treatment, your Orkin expert will follow up to check that the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can assist.
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with providers across the world and close to a century of experience in the industry. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control companies in North America. These include Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners take care of the following pests: flies, bees, bed bugs, ants, mosquitoes, crickets, spiders, cockroaches, wasps, and moths. Its services include preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Pest control businesses aren't all the same when it comes to reputation, qualifications, and competence. It’s important to research services to find the right one for your specific situation. Focus on these key factors when choosing 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 roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
When selecting a pest control provider, look for technicians that are licensed by the state and certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Obtaining these credentials demonstrates that the technicians have adequate training. Question the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
Look through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Ensure by reading reviews that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive consistent education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you select a company from our list of Berea'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 offering “green” certifications. For bigger animals such as mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a moderate to serious pest problem, you may need more potent traditional methods. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will come back and re-treat your home at no cost if there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services may not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have narrowed down your top pest control providers, reach out to each one with questions such as:
Assess potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to choose a qualified provider to effectively fix your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Which pests you may see depends on where you live. In Berea, there are a few different ones that residents may deal with. We examined around 10 million online conversations to identify the pests that were causing the most trouble for residents.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're well known in the industry and cover all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to 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.
Pest control chemicals are safe but need to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions or concerns about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — or are wondering how long you have to stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Many Berea 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 find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for an estimate.
We advise quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly if needed. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
