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've narrowed down the top pest control experts so you can find the best provider for you. We considered contracts, costs, customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, state availability, and more.
Here’s how the top providers ranked:
Terminix is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries globally. It has also been in the industry for nearly 100 years. The company offers professional pest control treatments that are safe for you and your family.
Terminix treats many types of pests in Mason, and if you’re not 100% satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Terminix’s general pest regimen includes a home inspection and preliminary treatment, with three additional treatments during the year.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the longest-running pest control companies with a large network of branches. It has excellent customer reviews and well-trained exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin offers an expert property inspection to identify issues and draw up treatment plan. After your initial visit, your technician will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have not returned. If they have, your local technicians can help
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest pest control company, which owns hundreds of brands worldwide. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several local pest control companies like Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil handles the common pests in Mason, including bees, flies, ants, mosquitoes, crickets, wasps, cockroaches, bed bugs, moths, and spiders. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pest problems after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Not all pest control providers are identical when it comes to reputation, expertise, and competence. 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 professional:
It's recommended to look for a pest control company that primarily handles the pest you have, like bed bugs, termites, roaches, 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, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), on top of proper state licensing. The right credentials show that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also inquire about required training hours and continuing education.
Spend time perusing online reviews on Google and Yelp before scheduling a pest control appointment. 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 ongoing regular training to stay current on the most up-to-date pest control methods. When you select a professional from our list of Mason'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” accreditation. For larger pests like mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a moderate to serious pest problem, you may need more effective traditional methods. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control provides typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will return and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments might not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified your top pest control providers, contact each one with these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to select the best provider to effectively manage your pest situation at a fair price.
Many kinds of pests end up finding their way into Mason residences. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can cause anxiety. To help you identify the most problematic pests, we reviewed online discussions and compiled a list of the ones mentioned the most.
The top pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They cover all common pests, have locations all around the nation, and have been in business for several decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every quarter. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
For the most part, the chemicals used in pest control are safe. That being said, they need to be handled by a professional exterminator to ensure they’re used safely. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying out of your home for a certain amount of time. This is generally 2 to 4 hours, but can be a maximum of 24 hours.
Many Mason homeowners are concerned 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 find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control providers for an estimate.
We recommend quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly if needed. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
