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 analyzed contracts, pest control treatments offered, state availability, customer reviews, costs, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies ranked in Mayfield:
Terminix is one of the largest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with branches across the United States and 22 other countries. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix takes care of all types of pest problems for residential and commercial customers. These include ants, raccoons, termites, rodents, opossums, roaches, and spiders. Terminix’s typical pest regimen consists of a home inspection and preliminary treatment, followed by three additional treatments during the year.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. It has great customer reviews and qualified exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin’s most common pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin’s typical pest control service plan is also quarterly, meaning your home will be treated several times over the course of a year.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has almost 100 years’ worth of experience protecting residents from pests. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers including Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich, which provide tailored services.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control specialist will focus on both eliminating existing pests and preventing future infestations. Its services consist of preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Pest control services vary in reputation, understanding, and effectiveness. It's important to research providers to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control company:
Choose a pest control company that can effectively address your specific problem, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly describe on their website its expertise with your specific pest.
When choosing a pest control company, 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. These credentials indicate that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also inquire about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Before scheduling an appointment, spend time reading online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a proven track record of providing positive experiences and effective services. Also check for any complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about ongoing training at the company as well as how its technicians stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you select a company from our list of the top pest control in Mayfield, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for companies that promote “green” certified solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or raccoons nesting nearby. However, natural options may be less effective for serious infestations. If you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to 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 make another visit and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is taken care of. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have found your top pest control providers, contact each one to ask these questions:
Analyze potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the best provider to safely and effectively get rid of your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Which pests you may see depends on where you live. In Mayfield, there are a few different ones that residents have to deal with. We studied around 10 million social media conversations to determine the most common pests in the city.
The best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They cover all common pests, service many locations, and have been in business for several decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every two or three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
For the most part, pest control chemicals are safe. Even so, they need to be handled by a trained professional to make sure they’re used safely. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying away from your home for a certain amount of time. This is usually 2 to 4 hours, but can be up to 24 hours.
The key to finding the best pest control company for you is to contact several companies and get quotes from them. You should also make sure to read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Mayfield homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for an estimate.
For apartments and homes, quarterly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, however, you may need to get monthly treatments for a few months until the infestation is resolved.
