Today's Homeowner looks at dozens of datapoints on pest 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:
Looking for a pest control company with nation-wide expertise? Here are our top picks:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of pest control experience. Terminix has gotten multiple awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, The Business Journal's FAST 50, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix treats all kinds of pests in Wheaton, and if you're not 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.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the most reputable pest control companies in the country. Unlike many competitors, Orkin goes over its process and types of treatments in a clear way on its website.
Orkin offers an inspection of your property by expert pest control technicians to identify the issue and draw up treatment plan. Each scheduled service comes with a 30-day guarantee. If you still see pests between visits, your pest control specialist will return for another treatment.
Wheaton is home to various pests, from wildlife to insects. So you can have an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we analyzed the pests discussed in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
The top pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They cover all common pests, service many locations, and have been in the industry for a long time.
Pest control chemicals are safe but have 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 have to stay out of your house 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 you read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Wheaton homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally 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 providers for a quote.
We advise quarterly pest control treatments, 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.
