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:
When ranking these pest control companies, we compared several factors such as customer service, industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, coverage, and more.
Here’s how the top pest control companies in Belle Chasse ranked:
Terminix has several hundred branches in more than 22 countries and has been in business for about 100 years. The company offers state-of-the-art pest control services that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they handle much more than just that. Their other services include: spiders, cockroaches, ticks, rodents, mosquitoes, ants, and wildlife control such as squirrels, skunks, raccoons, opossums, and more. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
If you need fast pest control service in Belle Chasse, consider Orkin. Since 1901, Orkin has become one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its pest control specialists have to undergo 160 hours of training. Plus, due to its big network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin can protect your home from many common pests, including silverfish, cockroaches, ants, and spiders. Orkin’s general pest control plan is also quarterly, which means your home will be treated several times during the year.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners rid themselves of common pests for over 90 years. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers like Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator, which can provide individual services.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both exterminating current pests and preventing future infestations. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pest problems after service, Rentokil will visit again until the issue is resolved.
Pest control services aren't all identical when it comes to reputation, knowledge, and competence. It’s important to research companies to find the right one for your specific situation. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control provider:
It's recommended to look for a pest control company that specializes in treating the pest you have, like termites, bed bugs, roaches, or rodents. The company should describe how they go about treating your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control company, 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). Possessing these credentials indicates 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.
Read 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 for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive consistent education on the latest and most innovative pest control treatments. When you choose a professional from our list of the top pest control in Belle Chasse, 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 solutions. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control companies usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a provider will make another visit to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have compiled a list of a few top contending pest control companies, talk to each of them and come prepared to ask these types of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies 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.
Many kinds of pests end up finding their way into Belle Chasse homes. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can give homeowners anxiety. To give you an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we analyzed the pests discussed in around 10 million social media posts.
The best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They can treat all common pests, have locations nationwide, and have been in the industry for several decades.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property regularly is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your home.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take time to do diligent research. We recommend obtaining quotes from several companies and reading reviews to help determine which company is the best for you.
Whether you should do DIY pest control or hire a company depends on your situation. You’ll want to consider factors like the size of the infestation, how much the pest control will cost, and what chemicals need to be used. In addition, you may want to also get professional pest control if you're concerned about safety.
Many Belle Chasse homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually 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 providers for an estimate.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or even bi-monthly pest control treatments are recommended. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may need to get monthly treatments for a few months until the issue is resolved.
