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 providers, we took into consideration factors including industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, coverage, customer service, and more.
Here’s how the top pest control companies in Fruitport 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 business for almost 100 years. It uses the latest technology in pest control to rid your home of pests wherever they are.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they take care of much more than just that. Their other services include: rodents, mosquitoes, cockroaches, ants, ticks, spiders, and wildlife control including skunks, squirrels, opossums, raccoons, and more. Terminix’s general pest regimen consists of a home inspection and initial treatment, with three seasonal treatments over the course of a year.
Orkin has been in the industry for over 100 years. Due to its large network, Orkin can provide next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Pests Orkin helps with includes silverfish, carpenter ants, spiders, scorpions, ticks, rats, fleas, mice, centipedes, hornets, and more. Orkin can book regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurring problems or any other urgent pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners rid themselves of common pests for over 90 years. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control providers in North America. These include Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil deals with the common pests in Fruitport, including mosquitoes, flies, wasps, bees, bed bugs, moths, ants, crickets, cockroaches, and spiders. After the initial inspection of your property, a technician will return to your property as often as your contract states.
Pest control providers aren't all identical when it comes to credibility, expertise, and effectiveness. It’s important to research services to find the right one for your specific circumstance. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control provider:
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.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have 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 regular training updates.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before booking a pest control appointment. Verify for yourself that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau 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 Fruitport's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing 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" certifications. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or raccoons nesting in trees, you can also ask about humane catch and release methods. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective. You may need to consider the traditional route for a more serious infestation. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control providers usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a company will return to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice warranties.
Once you have narrowed down your top pest control providers, contact each one with questions such as:
Analyze potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to choose the best provider to effectively take care of your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Which pests you see depends on where you live. In Fruitport, 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 what pests were frequently posted about on social media sites.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're well known in the industry and cover all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your house once every two or three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire an exterminator depends on your situation. You’ll want to take into consideration factors like what chemicals need to be used, the size of the infestation, and how much the pest control will cost. In addition, you may want to also look into professional pest control if you're concerned about safety.
Many Fruitport 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 per visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several companies for a quote.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will grow much larger in the summer, so pest control in the spring can help prevent you from getting too many pests later.
