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 it down to these pest control providers by analyzing contracts, customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, state availability, costs, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix is one of the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses stay pest-free for over 90 years. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, Watauga County Best of the Best, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix has both one-time extermination services and routine pest control. Plus, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Along with pest control, Terminix has services, like home disinfection services, moisture control, mechanical exclusion, and attic insulation.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. It has positive consumer reviews and well-trained exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify potential problems and draw up an appropriate treatment plan. Once the first treatment, your Orkin expert will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners get rid of common pests for over 90 years. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control providers in North America. These include Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil can help you with the common pests in Highland Park, including wasps, moths, bed bugs, cockroaches, crickets, flies, spiders, bees, ants, and mosquitoes. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pests after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Not all pest control services are the identical in reputation, qualifications, and proficiency. Vetting services helps you identify the right choice for your pest circumstance. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control provider:
It's recommended to look for a pest control company that primarily handles the pest you have, like roaches, bed bugs, termites, or rodents. The company should explain their process for treating your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians with certifications in pest control methods from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. The right credentials show that the technicians have completed proper training. Also ask about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Read online reviews on Google and Yelp before committing to a pest control provider. This can help you confirm whether the company consistently provides quality service and positive experiences. Also check the Better Business Bureau for any complaints. Ask the provider whether technicians receive consistent training to stay current on the most up-to-date pest control methods. When you choose a professional from our list of Highland Park'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 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 treatments. 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.
Leading pest control provides usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will make another visit and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments may not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have determined your top exterminators, contact each one to ask these questions:
Carefully review potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the best provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Highland Park is home to several pests, from insects to wildlife. To give you an idea of the most prevalent pests in the city, we analyzed the pests talked about in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies in Highland Park are Orkin and Terminix. They're well-respected 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 other wildlife from coming inside your home.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take time to do diligent research. We recommend getting quotes from multiple companies and reading reviews to help determine which company best fits your needs.
Pest control involves removing unwanted insects like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or animals from your home. When you hire a pest control company, a professional will come and inspect your property. Then they will use various techniques to get rid of the pests and prevent them from coming back, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Highland Park homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually 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 contacting several companies for a quote.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’re just interested in preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your house is in the spring before nest and colony numbers get too high when it's warmer. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
