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 narrowed down the top pest control companies by looking at factors like industry experience, coverage, customer satisfaction, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
This is how we ranked them:
Terminix is one of the biggest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. With this breadth of experience, you can see why Terminix is one of the top companies in the country.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they take care of much more than just that. Their other services include: spiders, ants, cockroaches, mosquitoes, ticks, rodents, and wildlife control including opossums, raccoons, squirrels, skunks, and more. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified exterminator will assess your situation and provide a suitable control plan.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the most reputable pest control companies in the country. It has positive customer reviews and qualified exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Pests Orkin helps with includes centipedes, ticks, scorpions, spiders, silverfish, bees, bed bugs, earwigs, crickets, fleas, and more. After your first visit, your technician will follow up regularly to make sure that the pests have not returned. If they have, your local technicians can help
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of experience in the pest control industry. The company provides innovative pest control treatments for homeowners and business owners. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers like J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X, which provide tailored services.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control specialist will focus on both eliminating current pests and preventing future infestations. After the initial inspection of your property, a technician will treat your property every four months.
Not all pest control businesses are the equal in reputation, qualifications, and effectiveness. Researching businesses helps you identify the right choice for your pest situation. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control company:
You should look for a pest control company that specializes in treating the pest you have, like rodents, roaches, bed bugs, or termites. The company should explain their process for 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 indicate that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also inquire about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Peruse reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to booking a pest control appointment. Ensure by reading reviews that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive consistent education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you choose a professional from our list of Quincy'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 companies that have "green" certifications. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or squirrels invading your attic, you can also ask about humane catch and release methods. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective. You may need to consider the traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider 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 selected a few top contending pest control companies, have conversations with each one and be prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will enable you to choose the right provider to effectively manage your pest situation at a fair price.
There are various types of pests in Quincy, ranging from harmless nuisances to disease-carrying insects. So you can have an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we reviewed the pests talked about in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Quincy are Orkin and Terminix. They're highly regarded in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property routinely is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your house.
There are some pests you can control yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a stray cockroach, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some infestations warrant calling the professionals. If you have an out-of-control infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company, especially if you have young children.
A pest control company removes unwanted insects or animals that have infested a property. Pest control also includes preventative measures taken to help stop those pests from coming back, which can happen at any point in Quincy, but usually during the warm summers.
Many Quincy 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 determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control providers for a quote.
We recommend 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.
