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 considered factors like industry experience, coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, customer service, and more.
Here’s how Lake Arbor’s top companies ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of pest control industry experience. With this breadth of experience, you can see why Terminix is one of the top companies in the country.
Terminix provides both one-time extermination services and seasonal pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. In addition to pest control, Terminix has other services, including mechanical exclusion, attic insulation, moisture control, and home disinfection services.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. Its exterminators have to undergo 160 hours of training. And, because of its large network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin offers an expert property inspection to identify potential problems and draw up an appropriate treatment plan. 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.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of experience. The company provides innovative pest control treatments for homeowners and business owners. The well-known brand owns the North American pest control companies J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil handles the common pests in Lake Arbor, including spiders, bed bugs, mosquitoes, crickets, ants, wasps, moths, bees, cockroaches, and flies. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pests after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Pest control businesses vary in reputation, proficiency, and effectiveness. It's important to research services to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that has experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly lay out its area of expertise.
The ideal exterminator will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by groups like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials show that the technicians have completed proper training. You'll also want to ask each company about regular education updates for their employees.
Peruse reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before booking a pest control appointment. Confirm through customer feedback that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive consistent education on the latest and most innovative pest control treatments. When you choose an exterminator from our list of Lake Arbor'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” accreditation. For larger pests like mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a considerable pest problem, you may need more effective traditional methods. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control professionals usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a company 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 guarantees.
After selecting your top pest management services, call each one and ask questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the best provider to safely and successfully eliminate your pest problem at a fair price.
It's important to know which pests you could come across as a resident of Lake Arbor. Our experts studied around 10 million posts on social media to uncover the pests that are the biggest headache in the area.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're well known in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every two or three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from returning.
There are some pests you can get rid of yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a rogue wasp, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some cases warrant bringing in the professionals. If you have a large infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Lake Arbor 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 determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several companies for a quote.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you just want preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional spray your house is in the spring before colony numbers get too high when it's warmer. But it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
