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 providers, we took into consideration several factors including coverage, industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, customer service, and more.
Here’s how the top companies ranked:
Terminix has several hundred branches in more than 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for over 90 years. With this breadth of experience, it’s easy to see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they deal with much more than that. Their other services include: mosquitoes, cockroaches, ticks, spiders, ants, rodents, and wildlife control including opossums, raccoons, skunks, squirrels, and more. In addition to pest control, Terminix has services, like attic insulation, mechanical exclusion, moisture control, and home disinfection services.
Orkin has been in the industry for over 100 years. Its exterminators need to complete 160 hours of training. And, due to its large network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Pests Orkin helps with are mice, carpenter ants, bees, silverfish, ticks, wasps, hornets, moths, scorpions, yellow jackets, and more. After the initial 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 100 years’ worth of experience handling pests. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers such as Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X, which provide individual services.
Rentokil exterminates the common pests in Cape St. Claire, including bees, mosquitoes, spiders, flies, ants, wasps, bed bugs, cockroaches, crickets, and moths. Its treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Not all pest control companies are the equal in reputation, qualifications, and effectiveness. Evaluating services helps you identify the right choice for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control professional:
Choose a pest control company that is equipped to handle 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 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. Holding the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about continuing education opportunities.
We advise looking at customer reviews prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other review sites can tell you whether a company consistently provides quality service and has happy customers. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of ongoing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you choose an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Cape St. Claire, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for services that use “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or other burrowing rodents. 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. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. The guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat for free if you still have pests in your home following the initial visit. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected a few top-rated pest management providers, reach out to each one and be prepared to ask these types of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control providers using these questions. This will help you select the most qualified provider to safely and successfully eliminate your pest problem at a fair price.
It's important to know which pests you could come across while living in Cape St. Claire. Our team analyzed around 10 million posts on social media to uncover the pests that are the biggest headache in the area.
The best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They cover all common pests, have locations nationwide, and have been in the industry for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every quarter or every two to three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals from coming back.
To find the best pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and do diligent research. We recommend obtaining estimates from multiple companies and reading through 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 take into consideration factors like what chemicals need to be used, how much the pest control will cost, and the size of the infestation. Additionally, you may want to also consider professional pest control if you're concerned about safety or pets.
Many Cape St. Claire homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control companies for an estimate.
For apartments and homes, quarterly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may need to get monthly treatments for a few months until the infestation is resolved.
