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 companies by analyzing state availability, customer reviews, contracts, pest control treatments offered, costs, and more.
Here’s how the top companies ranked:
Terminix ranks in the top four pest control companies in the world, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses stay pest-free for over 90 years. It uses the latest pest control techniques to rid your home of pests anywhere you see them.
Terminix’s specialty is termites, but they take care of much more than just that. Their other services include: ants, ticks, mosquitoes, spiders, rodents, cockroaches, and wildlife control including squirrels, opossums, skunks, raccoons, and more. In addition to pest control, Terminix has services, including moisture control, mechanical exclusion, attic insulation, and home disinfection services.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. Due to its large network, Orkin can offer same-day or next-day service.
Pests Orkin deals with includes rats, fleas, bed bugs, centipedes, hornets, wasps, silverfish, earwigs, scorpions, carpenter ants, and more. Each scheduled service comes with a 30-day guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your exterminator will come back for another visit.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with branches across the world and close to a century of experience in the industry. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several local pest control branches like J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil exterminates the common pests in Ashland, including flies, ants, bees, cockroaches, crickets, spiders, bed bugs, moths, mosquitoes, and wasps. The company guarantees satisfaction with its treatments. If you still have pest problems after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Pest control services aren't all identical when it comes to reputation, qualifications, and effectiveness. It’s important to research companies to find the right one for your specific circumstance. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control provider:
You should choose a pest control company that has expertise handling your specific problem, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should have clearly laid out its expertise with your specific pest.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have 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. Also ask about regular training updates.
Before scheduling an appointment, spend time reading online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to see which providers have a reputation for providing effective service and positive customer experiences. Also check for any complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Ask about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you choose a company from our list of the top pest control in Ashland, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for services that use “green” certified solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or other burrowing rodents. However, 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) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control provides typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will make another visit and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is taken care of. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have reduced your options to your top pest control providers, contact each one and ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will help you choose the most qualified provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
Different pests show up in different places. In Ashland, there are several that residents have to deal with. We created a list of the most common pests in the city by examining which pests were frequently mentioned on social media sites.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're respected in the industry and cover all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property regularly 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 quotes from multiple companies and reading reviews to help determine which company best fits your needs.
In a town like Ashland, where the cost of living is remarkably high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. How much pest control costs depends on several factors, including what type of pests you have an issue with and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, but a quarterly treatment plan is usually cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
For apartments and homes, quarterly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the problem is resolved.
