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 down the top pest control companies by looking at factors like customer satisfaction, industry experience, coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies ranked in Plymouth:
Terminix ranks in the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses stay pest-free for over 90 years. It uses the latest innovations in pest control to exterminate pests anywhere you see them.
Terminix deals with all kinds of pest issues for homeowners and business owners. These include opossums, termites, ants, roaches, spiders, rodents, and raccoons. Terminix’s general pest regimen consists of a home inspection and initial treatment, followed by three seasonal treatments over the course of a year.
If you need quick pest control service in Plymouth, consider Orkin. Since 1901, Orkin has grown to be one of the largest pest control companies in the country. It has positive consumer reviews and well-trained exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin’s most common pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. After the first treatment, your Orkin expert will follow up to make sure 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. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control branches like Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
It protects against 36 of the most common pests such as cockroaches, bed bugs, moths, mice, rats, spiders, flies, and more. After the initial inspection of your home, a technician will service your property as often as your contract states.
Not all pest control companies are equal when it comes to reputation, knowledge, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the most suitable option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly lay out its area of expertise.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from qualified industry groups, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Possessing the proper credentials indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about continuing education opportunities.
Look through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before booking a pest control appointment. Confirm through customer feedback that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive continuing regular education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you select a provider from our list of Plymouth'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 providers offering “green” certifications. For bigger animals such as mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a substantial pest problem, you may need stronger traditional treatments. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control companies normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat your home at no cost if there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't include reservice guarantees.
Once you have compiled a list of a few top contending pest control companies, reach out to each one and come prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Carefully review potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the best provider to safely and effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable price.
You should be aware of the pests you might encounter while living in Plymouth. Our team analyzed around 10 million social media conversations to determine the pests that cause the most trouble in the area.
The top pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They cover all common pests, service many locations, and have been in the industry for several decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every quarter or every two to three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
There are some pests you can handle yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a rogue spider, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some situations warrant calling the professionals. If you have an out-of-control infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Plymouth 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 a visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several providers for a quote.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will get much higher as it gets warmer, so spraying in the spring can help prevent your property from getting too many pests later.
