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:
We narrowed it down to these pest control companies by comparing pest control treatments offered, contracts, costs, state availability, customer reviews, and more.
This is how we ranked them:
Terminix is one of the biggest and oldest pest control companies in the world, with branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. Terminix has received several awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix handles all types of pest problems for residential and commercial customers. These include spiders, raccoons, ants, rodents, termites, roaches, and opossums. In addition to pest control, Terminix provides services, such as mechanical exclusion, moisture control, home disinfection services, and attic insulation.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Because of its large network, Orkin can provide same-day or next-day service.
Pests Orkin handles includes moths, silverfish, crickets, hornets, mice, yellow jackets, wasps, bees, fleas, bed bugs, and more. Orkin can set up regular follow-up visits. Also, if you have recurring problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners rid themselves of common pests for over 90 years. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control branches like Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both eliminating existing pests and preventing future infestations. Its services include preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Pest control providers aren't all equal when it comes to reputation, qualifications, and capability. It’s important to research services to find the right one for your specific circumstance. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that has experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
When choosing a pest control company, look for technicians that have the proper state licensing and are 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. Inquire with the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
We advise looking at customer reviews prior to 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 the Better Business Bureau website for any 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 provider from our list of Livonia's best pest control, 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 providers offering “green” certifications. For larger pests like 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 more effective traditional solutions. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will come back and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments might not have reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified a few highly reviewed exterminator services, have conversations with each of them and come prepared to ask these types of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to hire the best provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
Many kinds of pests end up finding their way into Livonia houses. Some are relatively harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can give homeowners anxiety. For an idea of the most prevalent pests in the city, we studied the pests mentioned in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
The top pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, service many locations, and have been in the industry for decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every quarter. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
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 need to stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Pest control involves removing unwanted bugs like termites, rodents, and other unwanted bugs or wildlife 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 stop them from returning, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
In a city like Livonia, where the cost of living is high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. The cost of pest control varies based on several factors, such as what type of pests are infesting your home and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, but a quarterly treatment plan is generally cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
For apartments and homes, quarterly pest control treatments are recommended. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the issue is resolved.
