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 has narrowed down the top pest control companies so you can find the best provider for you. We considered state availability, costs, customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, contracts, and more.
Here’s how the top providers ranked:
Terminix has 300 branches in over 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for over 90 years. It utilizes the latest pest control techniques to rid your property of pests no matter where they are.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they handle much more than that. Their other services include: mosquitoes, rodents, ants, spiders, cockroaches, ticks, and wildlife control such as squirrels, raccoons, opossums, skunks, and more. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified technician will take a look at your situation and provide a suitable control plan.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the most trustworthy pest control companies in the country. It has great consumer reviews and well-trained pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin can protect your property from many common pests, including ants, spiders, cockroaches, and silverfish. Orkin can set up regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurrent problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service line.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners get rid of common pests for over 90 years. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few regional pest control providers like J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control expert will focus on both getting rid of existing pests and preventing future infestations. Its services include preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control providers are the identical in credibility, skill set, and capability. Vetting companies helps you identify the right choice for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that has experience handling 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.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from reputable industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Having the proper credentials indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about regular training updates.
We highly recommend looking at customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. 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 the latest pest control techniques and treatment methods. When you select a professional from our list of the top pest control in Millis, 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 companies that promote “green” certified solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or raccoons nesting nearby. However, natural options may be less effective for serious infestations, and if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control providers normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will return and re-treat your home for free if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't include reservice guarantees.
Once you have reduced your options to your top pest management companies, reach out to each one and ask questions such as:
Thoroughly evaluate potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you select the best provider to safely and effectively get rid of your pest problem at a reasonable price.
There are various kinds of pests in Millis, ranging from harmless nuisances to disease-carrying insects. To help you identify the most problematic pests, we examined various social media sites and created a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're well known in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every quarter or every two to three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
A pest control company gets rid of unwanted insects or animals that have infested a home. Pest control also consists of preventative measures that help stop said pests from coming back, which can happen at any point in Millis, but usually during the warm summers.
Many Millis homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control companies for an estimate.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. This is because nests and colony numbers will grow much larger as it gets warmer, so pest control in the spring can help prevent your property from getting too many pests later.
