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 providers by comparing factors like coverage, industry experience, customer satisfaction, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of pest control experience. With this experience, you can see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix provides both one-time extermination services and seasonal pest control. Plus, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. Along with pest control, Terminix has other services, such as attic insulation, home disinfection services, mechanical exclusion, and moisture control.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the longest-running pest control companies with a expansive network of branches. Due to its vast network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin takes care of many common pests, including spiders, silverfish, cockroaches, and ants. After the first visit, your technician will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have stayed away for good. If they have, your local technicians can assist
Rentokil has been helping homeowners remove common pests for over 90 years. The global brand owns the North American pest control companies Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil and its partners take care of the following pests: flies, bees, crickets, ants, cockroaches, spiders, mosquitoes, bed bugs, wasps, and moths. After the initial inspection of your property, a technician will return to your property every quarter.
Not all pest control providers are the same in reputation, qualifications, and capability. Vetting businesses helps you identify the right choice for your pest situation. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing 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 bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from reputable industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Possessing the proper credentials indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about regular training updates.
Look through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before booking a pest control appointment. Ensure by reading reviews that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive consistent education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you select a professional from our list of Brighton's best pest control, 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 that advertise “green” certifications. For bigger animals such as mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a moderate to serious pest problem, you may need stronger traditional methods. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. The guarantees mean the company will make another visit and re-treat for free if your home still has pests after the initial treatment. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified a few highly reviewed exterminator services, reach out to each of them and come prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Assess potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to select a qualified provider to effectively fix your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Many types of pests end up finding their way into Brighton residences. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can cause anxiety. We generated a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing what pests were often posted about on social media.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're respected 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 two or three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
For the most part, the chemicals used in pest control are safe. That being said, they must be handled by a trained exterminator to ensure they’re used properly. After your house has been sprayed, your exterminator will recommend staying away from your home for a certain period of time. This is usually 2 to 4 hours, but can be a maximum of 24 hours.
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 situations warrant bringing in the professionals. If you have a big infestation, you don’t know what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Brighton 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 per visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several providers for a quote.
We advise quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly if needed. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
