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:
Today's Homeowner narrowed it down to these pest control providers by analyzing pest control treatments offered, costs, customer reviews, state availability, contracts, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies ranked in North Kensington:
Terminix ranks in the top four pest control companies in the world, and it has been assisting homeowners with staying pest-free for over 90 years. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix can help you with all types of pest problems for residential and commercial customers. These include spiders, termites, opossums, raccoons, ants, roaches, and rodents. Terminix’s general pest regimen includes a home inspection and initial treatment, followed by three seasonal treatments during the year.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a large network of branches. Its pest control specialists must undergo 160 hours of training. Plus, because of its big network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Pests Orkin helps with are hornets, fleas, rats, earwigs, mice, yellow jackets, ticks, moths, spiders, bees, and more. Orkin can arrange regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurrent pest problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact a customer service representative.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has close to a century’s worth of experience dealing with pests. The brand owns the North American pest control companies Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners deal with the following pests: bees, ants, moths, crickets, cockroaches, bed bugs, wasps, mosquitoes, flies, and spiders. Its services include preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Pest control providers aren't all the same when it comes to reputation, knowledge, and capability. It’s important to research services to find the right one for your specific circumstance. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive 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.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from qualified industry groups, 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. Also ask about ongoing educational requirements.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Ensure by reading reviews 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 ongoing education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you select a company from our list of North Kensington's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for providers that specialize in “green” certified solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or squirrels in your attic. 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. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control providers usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a provider will make another visit to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments might not include these reservice warranties.
Once you have narrowed down your top pest control providers, reach out to each one and ask questions such as:
Thoroughly evaluate potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you choose the right provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
You should know which pests you're bound to see in North Kensington. Our experts reviewed around 10 million social media posts to determine the pests that cause the most trouble in the area.

Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property routinely is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your home.
To find the best pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and do thorough research. We recommend getting estimates from several companies and reading through reviews to help determine which company is the right one for you.
Pest control involves exterminating unwanted insects like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or animals from your home. When you hire a pest control company, an exterminator will inspect your property. Then they will use various methods to get rid of the pests and prevent them from coming back, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many North Kensington 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 per visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several providers for a quote.
We recommend quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly if needed. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
