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 companies by comparing factors like industry experience, customer satisfaction, coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of pest control experience. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix has both one-off extermination services and seasonal pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. Terminix’s typical pest regimen consists of a home inspection and preliminary treatment, followed by three seasonal treatments during the year.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. Because of its vast network, Orkin can offer same-day or next-day service.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify problem pests and areas and draw up treatment plan. Each contract with Orkin comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your exterminator will return for another visit.
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest pest control company, which is made up of hundreds of brands worldwide. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several regional pest control branches like J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil can protect your home from the common pests in Yarmouth, including mosquitoes, bed bugs, flies, wasps, bees, ants, cockroaches, spiders, moths, and crickets. Rentokil uses treatments that are safe for your pets and children.
Not all pest control businesses are the identical in credibility, background, and proficiency. Evaluating services helps you identify the right choice for your pest circumstance. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that is able to handle the type of pest you have, whether it’s rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should be able to describe how they treat your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control company, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), on top of proper state licensing. The right credentials indicate that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also inquire about required training hours and continuing education.
Take some time to read online reviews on Google and Yelp before committing to a pest control provider. This can help you determine for yourself whether the company consistently provides quality service and positive experiences. Also check the Better Business Bureau for any complaints. Ask the provider whether technicians receive ongoing regular training to stay current on the most recent pest control methods. When you choose a provider from our list of Yarmouth's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing 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 larger pests like mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a substantial pest problem, you may need stronger traditional treatments. 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 providers usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a provider will come back to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified your top pest management companies, reach out to each one with these questions:
Analyze 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.
Yarmouth is home to various pests, from wildlife to insects. To help you prepare for the most common pests, we analyzed social media conversations and made a list of the ones mentioned the most.
The top pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They help with all common pests, service many locations, and have been in the industry for several decades.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your house.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and do diligent research. We recommend getting estimates from several companies and looking at reviews to help determine which company is the right one for you.
In a town like Yarmouth, where the cost of living is above average compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. How much pest control costs depends on several factors, including what type of pests are infesting your home and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, but a quarterly treatment plan is generally cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should seek 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 home is in the spring before colony numbers get too high in the summer. But it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
