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 narrowed down the top pest control companies by comparing state availability, customer reviews, costs, and more.
Here’s how Walpole’s top companies ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of pest control industry experience. It uses the latest technology in pest control to eliminate insects and unwanted wildlife no matter where they are.
Terminix offers both one-off extermination services and seasonal pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified exterminator will assess your situation and provide a suitable control plan.
Started in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has become one of the most trusted in the pest control industry. Its exterminators need to undergo 160 hours of training. In addition, because of its big network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify issues and draw up a suitable treatment plan. After the first treatment, your Orkin expert will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t 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 expert pest control solutions all around the world. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control providers in North America. These include J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil can help you with the common pests in Walpole, including bees, flies, crickets, wasps, cockroaches, spiders, moths, mosquitoes, ants, and bed bugs. Rentokil’s treatments are safe for your pets and children.
Not all pest control providers are identical when it comes to credibility, knowledge, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the most suitable option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control company:
It's recommended to look for a pest control company that primarily handles the pest you have, like roaches, bed bugs, termites, or rodents. The company should provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies that employ technicians with certifications in pest control methods from expert organizations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Possessing the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about ongoing educational requirements.
Before scheduling an appointment, browse online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a reputation for providing effective service and positive customer experiences. Also look for any complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Ask 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 Walpole'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 to get 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 traditional solutions might be a better option for significant infestations. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will come back and re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have compiled a list of a few top contending pest control companies, reach out to each one and be prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Analyze potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you hire the best provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Pests vary by location. In Walpole, there are several that residents have to deal with. For an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we examined the pests mentioned in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're well known in the industry and cover all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your house once every quarter or every two to three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from coming back.
There are some pests you can control yourself. For example, if you see some ants or a stray cockroach, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some pest infestations warrant bringing in the professionals. If you have an out-of-control infestation, you don’t know what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Walpole 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 getting in touch with several pest control providers for an estimate.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will get much higher as it gets warmer, so pest control in the spring can help prevent you from getting too many pests later.
