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 considered several factors such as types of pest control treatments offered, customer service, coverage, industry experience, and more.
Here’s how Holland’s top companies ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of experience in the pest control business. Terminix has received multiple 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 treats dozens of pests in Holland, and if you’re not completely satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Terminix’s typical pest regimen consists of a home inspection and initial treatment, followed by three additional treatments during the year.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a large network of branches. Its exterminators have to undergo 160 hours of training. In addition, because of its big network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify issues and draw up treatment plan. After the first visit, your pest control specialist will follow up regularly to make sure that the pests have not returned. If they have, your local technicians can help
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with branches across the world and close to a century of experience in the industry. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control companies like Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil deals with the common pests in Holland, including crickets, cockroaches, wasps, moths, ants, flies, mosquitoes, spiders, bees, and bed bugs. Rentokil’s treatments are safe for your pets and children.
Not all pest control services are the identical in credibility, background, and capability. Vetting providers helps you identify the right choice for your pest situation. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control company:
You should choose a pest control company that can effectively address 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.
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). Possessing these credentials demonstrates that the technicians have adequate training. Ask the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
We highly recommend checking out customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of ongoing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you choose a professional from our list of the top pest control in Holland, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more natural, eco-friendly pest control solutions, look for providers 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. You may need to consider a more traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control companies usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a company will return to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice warranties.
Once you have selected your top exterminators, reach out to each one and ask questions such as:
Review potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to choose the right provider to effectively fix your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
A variety of pests find their way into Holland houses. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can cause anxiety. To help you prepare for the most commonly seen pests, we analyzed posts on social media and made a list of the ones mentioned the most.
The best pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, service locations all around the nation, 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 house once every two or three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from coming back.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but must be handled by a professional. If you have any questions or concerns about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — and how long you should stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take time to research your options thoroughly. We recommend obtaining estimates from multiple companies and reading reviews to help determine which company best suits your needs.
Many Holland homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 per 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 pest control companies for an estimate.
We advise quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly if you'd like more protection. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
