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’s experts narrowed down the top pest control providers by comparing customer reviews, costs, state availability, and more.
This is how we ranked them:
Terminix is one of the top four pest control companies in the world, and it has been assisting homeowners with staying pest-free for over 90 years. The company offers state-of-the-art pest control treatments that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix offers both one-off extermination services and seasonal pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. In addition to pest control, Terminix offers other services, like attic insulation, mechanical exclusion, moisture control, and home disinfection services.
If you need fast pest control service in Hopkinton, consider Orkin. Since 1901, Orkin has grown to be one of the largest pest control companies in the country. It has positive consumer reviews and competent exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin’s most common pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin’s most common pest control service plan is also seasonal, meaning your home will be treated several times during the year.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has almost 100 years’ worth of experience dealing with pests. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few regional pest control providers like Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
It handles 36 of the most common pests such as flies, spiders, moths, cockroaches, bed bugs, rats, mice, and more. Depending on where you live, Rentokil may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Pest control companies aren't all the same when it comes to reputation, knowledge, and effectiveness. It’s important to research businesses to find the right one for your specific situation. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly lay out its area of expertise.
When choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. The right credentials indicate that the technicians have completed proper training. Also ask about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Before booking an appointment, take the time to read 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 look for any complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Inquire 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 an exterminator from our list of Hopkinton's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for providers that specialize in “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or squirrels in your attic. Keep in mind that natural options may be less effective for serious infestations. If you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control professionals usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a provider will come back to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice warranties.
After picking your top pest management services, call each one with questions such as these:
Analyze potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to choose a qualified provider to effectively solve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
A variety of pests can find their way into Hopkinton homes. Some are relatively harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can cause anxiety. We examined around 10 million online conversations to identify the pests that were causing the most trouble for residents.
The best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, service many locations, and have been in the industry for several decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every quarter. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
To find the best pest control company for you, the key is to take time to do diligent research. We recommend obtaining quotes from multiple companies and looking at reviews to help figure out which company best fits your needs.
There are some pests you can get rid of yourself. For example, if you see some ants or a stray wasp, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some infestations warrant bringing in the professionals. If you have a large infestation, you don’t know what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Hopkinton homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several companies 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.
