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:
When ranking these pest control companies, we considered factors such as types of pest control treatments offered, customer service, industry experience, coverage, and more.
This is how the top companies in Bruce ranked:
Terminix is headquartered 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. With this breadth of experience, you can see why Terminix is one of the top companies in the country.
Terminix can help you with all kinds of pest issues for homeowners and business owners. These include raccoons, ants, rodents, spiders, roaches, opossums, and termites. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified technician will take a look at your situation and outline a suitable control plan.
Started in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has evolved into one of the most trustworthy in the pest control industry. Its pest control specialists have to undergo 160 hours of training. Additionally, because of its big network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — service.
Pests Orkin helps with are carpenter ants, moths, centipedes, yellow jackets, wasps, termites, bed bugs, crickets, spiders, ticks, and more. Each pest control contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your pest control specialist will come back for another visit.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners exterminate common pests for over 90 years. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few regional pest control companies like Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both getting rid of existing pests and preventing future infestations. Its treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Pest control companies aren't all identical when it comes to credibility, qualifications, and effectiveness. It’s important to research businesses to find the right one for your specific issue. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control company:
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 clearly lay out its area of expertise.
The ideal exterminator will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by associations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials show that the technicians have received 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 see which providers have a proven track record of providing effective service and positive customer experiences. Also check for complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Ask about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you choose a provider from our list of Bruce's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for providers that specialize in “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or raccoons nesting nearby. However, natural options may be less effective for serious infestations; if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. No matter your approach to pest control, all 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 come back and re-treat at no cost if you still have pests in your home following the initial visit. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have found your top exterminators, reach out to each one with these questions:
Evaluate potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to pick a qualified provider to effectively fix your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Many types of pests like to find their way into Bruce residences. Some are relatively harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can cause anxiety. So you can have an idea of the most prevalent pests in the city, we reviewed the pests mentioned in around 10 million social media posts.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Bruce are Terminix and Orkin. They're highly regarded in the industry and cover all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property regularly is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your home.
For the most part, pest control chemicals are safe. Even so, they must be handled by a trained exterminator to ensure they’re used properly and safely. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying away from your home for a certain amount of time. This is typically 2 to 4 hours, but can be up to 24 hours.
A pest control company exterminates unwanted bugs or animals that have infested a home. Pest control also consists of preventative measures taken to stop those pests from returning, which can happen at any point in Bruce, but usually during the warm summers.
Many Bruce homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several companies for an estimate.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or bi-monthly pest control treatments are recommended. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may need to get monthly treatments for a few months until the problem is resolved.
