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:
Today's Homeowner narrowed it down to these pest control companies by comparing costs, state availability, pest control treatments offered, customer reviews, contracts, and more.
This is how the top companies in Grafton ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of experience in the pest control business. The company provides effective pest control treatments that are safe for you and your family.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they take care of much more than that. Their other services include: mosquitoes, cockroaches, spiders, ants, rodents, ticks, and wildlife control such as squirrels, opossums, raccoons, skunks, and more. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. Its exterminators have to undergo 160 hours of training. Additionally, due to its big network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify problem pests and areas and draw up a suitable treatment plan. Orkin can book regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurring problems or any other urgent pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with branches across the globe and nearly a century of experience in the industry. The large brand owns the North American pest control providers Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil deals with the common pests in Grafton, including bed bugs, mosquitoes, bees, cockroaches, spiders, ants, wasps, crickets, flies, and moths. 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, understanding, and capability. It's important to research providers to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control provider:
It's best to choose a pest control company that can effectively address your specific problem, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should have clearly laid out its expertise with your specific 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. Holding the proper credentials indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about regular training updates.
We advise looking at customer reviews prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites can tell you 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 ongoing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you select a professional from our list of the top pest control in Grafton, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for providers that have “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 squirrels. Keep in mind that more potent methods might be a better option for major infestations. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control professionals usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a company will make another visit to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments might not include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected your top exterminators, reach out to each one to ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will enable you to hire the right provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
Many types of pests find their way into Grafton residences. Some are relatively harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can give homeowners anxiety. We examined around 10 million online conversations to find out which pests people in different cities had the most problems with.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're highly regarded in the industry and cover all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property once every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your house.
For the most part, the chemicals used in pest control are safe. Even so, they have to be handled by a professional exterminator to make sure they’re used properly. After your house has been sprayed, your exterminator will recommend staying away from your home for a certain amount of time. This is typically 2 to 4 hours, but can be as much as 24 hours.
Many Grafton 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 per visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several providers for a quote.
We recommend quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly if you'd like more protection. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
