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 down the top pest control companies by comparing factors like industry experience, coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, customer satisfaction, and more.
Here’s how we ranked them:
Terminix is one of the biggest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with many branches across the United States and 22 other countries. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix treats dozens of pests in Caledonia, and it guarantees that your pest problems will be solved. In addition to pest control, Terminix has other services, such as mechanical exclusion, moisture control, attic insulation, and home disinfection services.
Orkin Pest Control is based in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a large network of branches. Due to its large network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin’s most popular pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Each pest control contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your technician will come back for another visit.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners exterminate common pests for over 90 years. The global brand owns the North American pest control companies Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil and its partners handle the following pests: bed bugs, bees, wasps, cockroaches, crickets, moths, spiders, mosquitoes, ants, and flies. 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, understanding, and effectiveness. It’s important to research providers to find the right one for your specific circumstance. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control professional:
It's best to choose a pest control company that is equipped to handle your specific problem, whether it's bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly describe on their website its expertise with your specific pest.
Look for pest control companies that employ technicians with certifications in pest control methods from qualified industry groups, 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. Also ask about continuing education opportunities.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to scheduling 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 ongoing education on the latest and most innovative pest control treatments. When you choose a provider from our list of the top pest control in Caledonia, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more eco-friendly and natural pest control solutions, look for companies that have "green" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or other rodents coming inside, you can also ask about humane catch and release methods. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective; consider the traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the company will return and re-treat at no cost if your home still has pests after the initial treatment. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
After selecting your top pest control companies, reach out to each one and ask questions such as these:
Review potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to select the best provider to effectively solve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
There are a variety of pests in Caledonia, ranging from harmless bothers to ones that can damage your home. We studied around 10 million social media conversations to figure out which pests people in different cities had the most problems with.
The top pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They cover all common pests, service many locations, and have been in business for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every quarter or every two to three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from coming back.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire an exterminator depends on the situation. You’ll want to take into consideration factors like the size of the infestation, what chemicals need to be used, and how much the pest control will cost. Additionally, you may want to also look into professional pest control if you're concerned about safety or pets.
Many Caledonia homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for an estimate.
We advise quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly if needed. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
