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 has narrowed down the best pest control companies so you can find the best provider for you. We assessed contracts, customer reviews, costs, state availability, pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how the top companies ranked:
Terminix is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries around the globe. It has also been in business for about 100 years. Terminix has received several awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they deal with much more than that. Their other services include: spiders, ticks, rodents, ants, mosquitoes, cockroaches, and wildlife control such as squirrels, raccoons, skunks, opossums, and more. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified exterminator will assess your situation and outline a suitable control plan.
If you need fast pest control service in Park, Orkin could be a good company for you. Founded in 1901, Orkin has grown to be one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Because of its vast network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify issues and draw up a suitable treatment plan. Once the first treatment, your Orkin expert will follow up to check that the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of experience in the pest control industry. The company provides innovative pest control solutions all around the world. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers such as Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator, which provide tailored services.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both exterminating existing pests and preventing future infestations. Depending on where you live, the pest control company may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control services are the identical in credibility, skill set, and proficiency. Evaluating businesses helps you identify the right choice for your pest issue. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that has experience handling the type of pest you have, whether it’s bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to describe how they treat your type of pest.
When selecting a pest control provider, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. The right credentials indicate that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also inquire about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Ensure by reading reviews that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive consistent education on the latest and most innovative pest control treatments. When you choose a professional from our list of the top pest control in Park, 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 providers that specialize in “green” certified solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or raccoons nesting nearby. Keep in mind that 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. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, 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 come back and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is handled. One-time treatments might not have reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified your top pest control providers, contact each one to ask these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control companies using these questions. This will help you choose the best provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
Which pests you see depends on where you live. In Park, there are several that residents have to deal with. We studied around 10 million online discussions to uncover the most common pests invading local homes.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Park are Terminix and Orkin. They're respected in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property once every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your home.
There are some pests you can handle yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a rogue cockroach, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some pest infestations warrant calling the professionals. If you have an out-of-control infestation, you don’t know what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Park homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a 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.
We recommend quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly if you'd like more protection. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
