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've narrowed down the top pest control experts to help you find the best provider for you. We assessed state availability, pest control treatments offered, customer reviews, costs, contracts, and more.
This is how they ranked:
Terminix has 300 branches in more than 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for about 100 years. The company offers professional pest control treatments that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix treats all kinds of pests in Attleboro, and it offers a 30-day guarantee. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified exterminator will assess your situation and outline a suitable control plan.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Due to its large network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin can protect your property from many common pests, including spiders, silverfish, cockroaches, and ants. After the initial visit, your technician will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have stayed away for good. If they have, your local technicians can assist
Rentokil has been helping homeowners exterminate common pests for over 90 years. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control providers in North America. These include Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
It protects against 36 of the most common pests including mice, flies, bed bugs, spiders, rats, cockroaches, moths, and more. The company guarantees satisfaction with its treatments. If you still have pest problems after service, Rentokil will visit again until the issue is resolved.
Pest control businesses aren't all the same when it comes to reputation, knowledge, and competence. It’s important to research providers to find the right one for your specific situation. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that focuses their business on the pest you have, like bed bugs, termites, roaches, or rodents. The company should describe how they go about treating your type of pest.
When selecting a pest control provider, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. The right credentials show that the technicians have completed proper training. Also ask about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Read online reviews on Google and Yelp before committing to a pest control provider. This can help you confirm whether the company consistently provides quality service and positive experiences. Also check the Better Business Bureau for any complaints. Ask the provider whether technicians receive consistent training to stay current on the most recent pest control methods. When you choose a provider from our list of Attleboro's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more natural, eco-friendly pest control solutions, look for providers that have "green" certifications. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or raccoons nesting in trees, you can also ask about humane catch and release. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective. You may need to consider a more traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control providers normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will come back and re-treat your home for free if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified a few top contending pest control companies, reach out to each one and be prepared to ask these types of questions:
Carefully review potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you select the right provider to safely and effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Attleboro is home to a number of pests, from insects to wildlife. We compiled a list of the most common pests in the city by examining which pests were often mentioned on social media sites.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Attleboro are Terminix and Orkin. They're well known in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property routinely is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your home.
Pest control chemicals are safe but need to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions or concerns about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — or are wondering how long you should 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 right pest control company for you is to contact multiple companies and get quotes from them. You should also make sure you read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Attleboro homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control companies for a quote.
We advise quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly if needed. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
