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 best pest control experts to help you find the right provider for you. We assessed state availability, customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, costs, contracts, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies ranked in Middleborough:
Terminix is one of the biggest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with many branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. Terminix has received 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 helps with many types of pests in Middleborough, and if you’re not satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified exterminator will assess your situation and give you a suitable control plan.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. Its exterminators need to undergo 160 hours of training. In addition, due to its big network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin’s typical pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Once the first treatment, your Orkin specialist will follow up to check that the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can assist.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners rid themselves of common pests for over 90 years. The brand owns the North American pest control providers Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners deal with the following pests: mosquitoes, moths, bed bugs, flies, wasps, ants, cockroaches, crickets, spiders, and bees. Its services cover preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Pest control services vary in reputation, understanding, and competence. It's important to research services to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
The ideal pest management provider will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by groups like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials show that the technicians have finished proper training. You'll also want to question each company about ongoing education for their employees.
Before scheduling an appointment, spend time reading online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a proven track record of providing effective service and positive customer experiences. Also look for any complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about ongoing training at the company as well as how its technicians stay up to date on the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you select a company from our list of Middleborough's best pest control, 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 solutions might be a better option for major infestations. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control professionals usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will come back and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is handled. One-time treatments might not have reservice guarantees.
Once you have narrowed down your top exterminators, contact each one to ask questions such as:
Analyze potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the best provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
There are various types of pests in Middleborough, ranging from harmless nuisances to disease-carrying insects. We studied around 10 million online discussions to determine which pests people in different areas had problems with the most.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're well-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 other wildlife from coming inside your house.
Chemicals used in pest control 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 — and 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.
Many Middleborough 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 figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control companies for an estimate.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’d just like preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional spray your home is in the spring before colony numbers get too high when it's warmer. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
