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 customer reviews, state availability, costs, and more.
This is how we ranked the top pest control companies in Watertown Town:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries around the globe. It has also been in the industry for about 100 years. The company offers effective pest control services that are safe for you and your family.
Terminix treats all kinds of pests in Watertown Town, and it guarantees that your pest problems will be solved. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified technician will assess your situation and detail 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. It has excellent consumer reviews and professional exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin’s most popular pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. After the first treatment, your Orkin specialist will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t come back. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Rentokil, a business service group, is the world's largest pest control company, which is comprised of hundreds of brands worldwide. The well-known brand owns the North American pest control companies J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both eliminating current pests and preventing future infestations. Rentokil’s services consist of preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control companies are equal when it comes to credibility, qualifications, and competence. It's important to do your research to determine the ideal option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its area of expertise.
The ideal pest control company 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 continuing training for their employees.
Before booking 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 positive experiences and effective services. Also look for any complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Ask about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you choose an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Watertown Town, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for providers offering “green” certifications. For larger pests like mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a considerable pest problem, you may need more effective traditional solutions. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. The guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat at no cost if you still have pests in your home following the initial treatment. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected your top exterminators, reach out to each one and ask questions such as:
Assess potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to choose a qualified provider to effectively take care of your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Pests vary by location. In Watertown Town, there are a few different ones that residents have to deal with. We analyzed around 10 million online conversations to determine the most common pests in the city.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. 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. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
Pest control chemicals 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 young children and pets — and how long you have to stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
To find the best pest control company for you, the key is to take time to research your options thoroughly. We recommend getting quotes from multiple companies and looking at reviews to help determine which company is the right one for you.
Many Watertown Town 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 a visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several providers for an estimate.
We recommend 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.
