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:
The team at Today's Homeowner narrowed it down to these pest control providers by analyzing contracts, state availability, pest control treatments offered, customer reviews, costs, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies in Yarmouth ranked:
Terminix is one of the largest and oldest pest control companies in the world, with branches across the United States and 22 other countries. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix helps with dozens of pests in Yarmouth, and it guarantees that your pest problems will be solved. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the most trustworthy pest control companies in the country. Its exterminators have to complete 160 hours of training. Additionally, due to its big network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin takes care of many common pests, including spiders, ants, cockroaches, and silverfish. Each scheduled service comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your technician will come back for another visit.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners remove common pests for over 90 years. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers including J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X, which provide individual services.
Rentokil and its partners deal with the following pests: cockroaches, crickets, bees, bed bugs, spiders, wasps, flies, ants, mosquitoes, and moths. The company guarantees satisfaction with its treatments. If you still have pest problems after service, Rentokil will visit again until the issue is resolved.
Pest control services aren't all equal when it comes to credibility, qualifications, and competence. It’s important to research companies to find the right one for your specific circumstance. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control company:
It's recommended to look for a pest control company that primarily handles the pest you have, like rodents, roaches, bed bugs, or termites. The company should provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
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 ask each company about continuing training for their employees.
We advise reading customer reviews prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and has happy customers. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of ongoing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you choose an exterminator from our list of Yarmouth's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that 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" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or squirrels invading your attic, you can also inquire about humane catch and release. Bear in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective. You may need to consider a more traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the company will return and re-treat for free if your home still has pests following the initial treatment. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have compiled a list of a few top contending pest control companies, have conversations with each of them and come prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Analyze potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you hire the right provider to safely and effectively get rid of your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Pests vary by location. In Yarmouth, there are a few different ones that residents have to deal with. We generated a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing which pests were frequently posted about on social media platforms.
The best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, service many locations, and have been in the industry for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every two or three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
To find the best pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and do diligent research. We recommend obtaining quotes from multiple companies and looking at reviews to help determine which company is the best for you.
Many Yarmouth homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control companies for a quote.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will grow much larger in the summer, so spraying in the spring can help prevent your property from getting too many pests later.
