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 team at Today's Homeowner identified the top pest control providers by comparing costs, customer reviews, state availability, and more.
Here’s how the top providers ranked:
Terminix ranks in the top four pest control companies in the world, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses stay pest-free for over 90 years. It utilizes the latest pest control techniques to exterminate insects and unwanted wildlife anywhere you see them.
Terminix helps with dozens of pests in Hyattsville, and if you aren’t satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
Started in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has grown to be one of the most trustworthy in the pest control industry. It has positive customer reviews and qualified exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin’s most common pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. 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.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of experience in the pest control industry. The company provides expert pest control treatments for homeowners and business owners. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers such as Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator, which can provide individual services.
Rentokil and its partners take care of the following pests: wasps, crickets, flies, bees, cockroaches, bed bugs, mosquitoes, moths, ants, and spiders. Depending on where you live, Rentokil and its partners may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control businesses are the same when it comes to credibility, proficiency, and effectiveness. It's important to do your research to determine the ideal option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that is able to handle the type of pest you have, whether it’s bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to explain their approach for treating your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control company, look for technicians with certifications in pest control methods from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. The right credentials show that the technicians have completed proper training. Also inquire about required training hours and continuing education.
Before scheduling 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 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 a company from our list of the top pest control in Hyattsville, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more natural, eco-friendly pest control solutions, look for companies that have "green" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or squirrels invading your attic, you can also inquire about humane catch and release methods. Bear in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective. You may need to consider a more traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all 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 guarantees mean that a provider will come back to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments might not include these reservice warranties.
After picking your top exterminators, reach out to each one with questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to select the best provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
Pests vary by location. In Hyattsville, there are several that residents may deal with. We studied around 10 million posts on social media to find out which pests people in different places had problems with the most.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're well known in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to 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.
Pest control chemicals are safe but have to 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 — or are wondering how long you need to stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
A pest control company exterminates unwanted insects or animals that have infested a property. Pest control also includes preventative measures that help stop said pests from returning, which can happen at any point in Hyattsville, but usually during the warm summers.
Many Hyattsville homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control providers for a quote.
We advise quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly if needed. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
