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:
Our team at Today's Homeowner identified the top pest control providers by comparing state availability, customer reviews, costs, and more.
Here’s how Swansea’s top providers ranked:
Terminix is one of the biggest and oldest 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 treats all kinds of pests in Swansea, and it guarantees that your pest problems will be solved. Terminix’s typical pest regimen consists of a home inspection and preliminary treatment, followed by three additional treatments during the year.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. Its exterminators must undergo 160 hours of training. Plus, due to its large network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin’s most common pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Each contract with Orkin comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your exterminator will come back for another visit.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has nearly 100 years’ worth of experience exterminating pests. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several regional pest control providers like Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
It helps with 36 of the most common pests including mice, flies, bed bugs, cockroaches, moths, spiders, rats, and more. 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.
Not all pest control businesses are the same in reputation, experience, and competence. Vetting services helps you identify the right choice for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
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 indicate that the technicians have completed proper training. You'll also want to inquire with each company about ongoing education for their employees.
Spend time perusing online reviews on Google and Yelp before scheduling a pest control appointment. This can help you determine for yourself whether the company consistently provides quality service and positive experiences. Also check the Better Business Bureau for any complaints. Ask the provider whether technicians receive continual training to stay current on the latest pest control methods. When you choose a professional from our list of Swansea's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for companies with “green” certifications if you want more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about humane trapping programs that don't harm pests like mice or squirrels. Keep in mind that stronger solutions might be a better option for significant infestations. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control provides usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will come back and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments may not have reservice guarantees.
Once you have found your top pest control providers, contact each one to ask these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to select the best provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
Swansea is home to a number of pests, from wildlife to insects. We generated a list of the most common pests in the city by examining what pests were frequently mentioned on social media sites.
The top pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, have 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 or every two to three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
The key to finding the right pest control company for you is to get in touch with multiple companies and get estimates from them. You should also make sure to read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Swansea 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 determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control providers 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.
