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 Today's Homeowner team narrowed down the top pest control providers by considering factors like customer satisfaction, coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, industry experience, and more.
Here’s how Waterville’s top companies ranked:
Terminix is one of the largest and oldest pest control companies in the world, with many branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. The company offers cutting-edge pest control services that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix handles all types of pest problems for residential and commercial customers. These include ants, raccoons, rodents, roaches, termites, opossums, and spiders. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified exterminator will take a look at your situation and outline a suitable control plan.
If you need quick pest control service in Waterville, consider Orkin. Since 1901, Orkin has become one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its exterminators complete 160 hours of training. Plus, due to its big network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin’s typical pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. After the first treatment, your Orkin exterminator will follow up to check that the pests haven’t come back. If they have, your local technicians can assist.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has almost a century’s worth of experience dealing with pests. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control companies in North America. These include Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners take care of the following pests: moths, ants, flies, wasps, bees, cockroaches, bed bugs, spiders, crickets, and mosquitoes. Rentokil’s treatments are safe for your pets and children.
Pest control companies vary in reputation, understanding, and effectiveness. It's important to research businesses to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control professional:
You should look for a pest control company that focuses their business on the pest you have, like rodents, roaches, bed bugs, or termites. The company should provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from expert organizations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Possessing the proper credentials indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about regular training updates.
Before booking an appointment, spend time reading online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a proven track record of providing positive experiences and effective services. Also check for any complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Ask about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you select an exterminator from our list of Waterville's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more eco-friendly and natural pest control solutions, look for providers that have "green" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or raccoons nesting in trees, you can also inquire about humane catch and release methods. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective. You may need to consider the traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control professionals usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a provider will return to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have compiled a list of a few top contending pest control companies, talk to each one and come prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Assess potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to select the right provider to effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Waterville is home to several pests, from wildlife to insects. So you can have an idea of the most common pests in the city, we examined the pests mentioned in around 10 million social media posts.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies in Waterville are Terminix and Orkin. 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. Even so, they need to be handled by a professional exterminator to make sure they’re used properly and safely. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying out of your home for a certain period of time. This is typically 2 to 4 hours, but can be up to 24 hours.
Many Waterville homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several providers for a quote.
We advise quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly if you'd like more protection. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
