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:
We narrowed it down to these pest control providers by analyzing contracts, costs, pest control treatments offered, customer reviews, state availability, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies ranked in Summerfield:
Terminix is one of the largest and oldest pest control companies in the world, with branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. With this experience, you can see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix’s specialty is termites, but they exterminate much more than that. Their other services include: ants, rodents, spiders, ticks, mosquitoes, cockroaches, and wildlife control such as skunks, opossums, raccoons, squirrels, and more. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
Orkin Pest Control is based in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a expansive network of branches. Due to its vast network, Orkin can offer same-day or next-day service.
Orkin deals with many common pests, such as silverfish, cockroaches, spiders, and ants. Orkin can book regular follow-up visits. Also, if you have recurring problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact a customer service representative.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners remove common pests for over 90 years. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers including Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator, which provide individual services.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control specialist will focus on both exterminating existing pests and preventing future infestations. Rentokil’s services consist of preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Pest control providers vary in credibility, expertise, and effectiveness. It's important to research services to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control provider:
You should look for a pest control company that focuses their business on the pest you have, like roaches, bed bugs, termites, or rodents. The company should describe how they go about treating your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies that employ technicians with certifications in pest control methods from expert organizations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Possessing the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about continuing education opportunities.
We highly recommend checking out customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and similar sites will show 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 continuing education technicians receive to stay current on the latest pest control techniques and treatment methods. When you select a provider from our list of the top pest control in Summerfield, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for companies with “green” accreditations if you want more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about gentle catch and release methods for larger animals like mice or snakes. Keep in mind that traditional treatments might be a better option for significant infestations. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control providers usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a provider will come back to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected your top pest control providers, reach out to each one to ask questions such as:
Thoroughly evaluate potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you select the right provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Summerfield is home to several pests, from wildlife to insects. We analyzed around 10 million posts on social media to identify which pests were causing the most trouble for residents.
The best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, service many locations, and have been in business for decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every quarter. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
Pest control chemicals are safe but need to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — and how long you need to stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
The key to finding the best exterminator for you is to get in touch with several companies and get quotes from them. You should also be sure to read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Summerfield homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for a quote.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’re just interested in preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your house is in the spring before nest and colony numbers get too high when it's warmer. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
