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 factors such as types of pest control treatments offered, industry experience, coverage, customer service, and more.
This is how we ranked the top pest control companies in Glassmanor:
Terminix has several hundred branches in more than 22 countries and has been in business for over 90 years. The company provides professional pest control treatments that are safe for you and your family.
Terminix treats all kinds of pests in Glassmanor, and it offers a 30-day guarantee. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the most trustworthy pest control companies in the country. Because of its vast network, Orkin can offer same-day or next-day service.
Orkin can protect your property from many common pests, including cockroaches, ants, spiders, and silverfish. Orkin’s typical pest control service is also seasonal, so your home will be treated several times during the year.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners get rid of common pests for over 90 years. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control providers in North America. These include Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners handle the following pests: moths, flies, wasps, mosquitoes, ants, crickets, bees, spiders, bed bugs, and cockroaches. Its treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Not all pest control providers are the same in credibility, background, and capability. Vetting providers helps you identify the right choice for your pest situation. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting 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 clearly describe on their website its expertise with your specific pest.
The ideal exterminator will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by organizations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials show that the technicians have completed proper training. You'll also want to inquire with each company about ongoing education for their employees.
Look through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before booking a pest control appointment. Verify for yourself that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive continuing regular education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you select a professional from our list of Glassmanor'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 natural, eco-friendly pest control solutions, look for providers that have "green" certifications. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or other rodents coming inside, you can also inquire about humane catch and release methods. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective; consider a more traditional route for a more serious infestation. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control companies usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will make another visit and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is handled. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified your top pest management companies, contact each one to ask these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will help you hire the right provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
A variety of pests find their way into Glassmanor homes. Some are relatively harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can cause anxiety. We compiled a list of the most common pests in the city by examining what pests were often posted about on social media sites.
The best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They help with all common pests, service many locations, and have been in the industry for a long time.
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 other wildlife from coming inside your house.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but must 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 young children and pets — and how long you need to stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
There are some pests you can get rid of yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a stray wasp, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some pest infestations warrant bringing in the professionals. If you have a big infestation, you don’t know what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company, especially if you have young children.
Many Glassmanor homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for a quote.
We recommend quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly if needed. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
