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 narrowed down the top pest control companies by looking at factors like industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, customer satisfaction, coverage, and more.
Here’s how Travilah’s top companies ranked:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries around the globe. It has also been in business for nearly 100 years. The company offers cutting-edge pest control services that are safe for your family.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they take care of much more than just that. Their other services include: ticks, rodents, spiders, cockroaches, ants, mosquitoes, and wildlife control including opossums, raccoons, skunks, squirrels, and more. In addition to pest control, Terminix has services, like moisture control, attic insulation, mechanical exclusion, and home disinfection services.
Founded in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has grown to be one of the most trusted in the pest control industry. Due to its vast network, Orkin can provide next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin can protect your home from many common pests, including ants, silverfish, spiders, and cockroaches. Orkin can set up regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurring pest problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact a customer service representative.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with providers across the globe and almost a century of experience in the industry. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control companies in North America. These include Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil handles the common pests in Travilah, including crickets, spiders, moths, wasps, bees, flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, ants, and bed bugs. The company guarantees satisfaction with 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, expertise, and effectiveness. It's important to research companies to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that has experience handling the type of pest you have, whether it’s bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
When selecting 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. Solid credentials show that the technicians have completed proper training. Also inquire about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Before scheduling an appointment, browse online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to see which providers have a proven track record of providing positive experiences and effective services. Also check for any complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about ongoing training at the company as well as how its technicians stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you choose a company from our list of the top pest control in Travilah, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for providers that advertise “green” accreditation. For bigger animals such as mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a considerable pest problem, you may need more potent traditional methods. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control companies usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a provider will come back to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice warranties.
Once you have reduced your options to your top pest management companies, reach out to each one and ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the right provider to safely and successfully eliminate your pest problem at a fair price.
A variety of pests end up finding their way into Travilah homes. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can cause anxiety. We examined around 10 million posts on social media to uncover the most common pests invading local homes.
The top pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They can treat all common pests, have locations all around the nation, and have been in the industry for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every two or three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from coming back.
For the most part, the chemicals used in pest control are safe. That being said, they have to be handled by a trained exterminator to make sure they’re used properly and safely. After your house has been sprayed, your exterminator will recommend staying away from your home for a certain period of time. This is generally 2 to 4 hours, but can be up to 24 hours.
The key to finding the right exterminator for you is to get in touch with multiple companies and get estimates from them. You should also be sure you read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Travilah homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several providers for an estimate.
We advise quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly if needed. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
