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:
Today's Homeowner’s experts narrowed down the top pest control companies by comparing costs, state availability, customer reviews, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies ranked in Dorr:
Terminix is one of the largest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with many branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. Terminix has received several awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix treats dozens of pests in Dorr, and if you’re not 100% satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. In addition to pest control, Terminix offers other services, such as moisture control, home disinfection services, attic insulation, and mechanical exclusion.
Founded in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has evolved into one of the most reputable in the pest control industry. Its exterminators undergo 160 hours of training. And, because of its large network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin handles many common pests, such as cockroaches, silverfish, ants, and spiders. After the first treatment, your Orkin exterminator will follow up to check that the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can assist.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with providers across the globe and almost a century of experience in the industry. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several regional pest control branches like Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
It protects from 36 of the most common pests such as mice, bed bugs, rats, flies, cockroaches, spiders, moths, and more. After the initial inspection and treatment of your home, a technician will service your property as often as your contract states.
Not all pest control companies are the same when it comes to reputation, expertise, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the right option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control company:
It's best to choose a pest control company that is equipped to handle your specific problem, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should clearly describe on their website its expertise with your specific pest.
When selecting a pest control provider, look for technicians that are licensed by the state and certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Having these credentials indicates that a technician has adequate training. Question the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
Before booking an appointment, browse online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a reputation for providing positive experiences and effective services. Also check for complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Ask about ongoing training at the company as well as how its technicians stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you select a professional from our list of the top pest control in Dorr, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for companies with “green” certifications. For bigger animals such as mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a substantial pest problem, you may need stronger traditional solutions. 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 ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the company will make another visit and re-treat for free if you still have pests in your home after the initial treatment. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
After picking your top pest management services, contact each one with questions such as these:
Evaluate potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to pick a qualified provider to effectively solve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Dorr is home to several pests, from wildlife to insects. Our team examined around 10 million social media conversations to pinpoint the pests that create the most issues in the area.
The best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They help with all common pests, have many locations, and have been in the industry for a long time.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property once every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your home.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire a company depends on your situation. You’ll want to consider factors like what chemicals need to be used, how much the pest control will cost, and the size of the infestation. Additionally, you may want to also get professional pest control if you're concerned about safety or pets.
Pest control involves removing unwanted bugs like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or wildlife from your home. When you hire a pest control company, a professional will inspect your property. Then they will use various techniques to remove the pests and prevent them from returning, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Dorr 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 find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control companies for an estimate.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will get much higher in the summer, so pest control in the spring can help prevent you from getting too many pests later.
