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 providers by considering factors like industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, coverage, customer satisfaction, and more.
This is how they ranked:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries around the globe. It has also been in the industry for about 100 years. The company provides cutting-edge pest control treatments that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix offers both one-off extermination services and routine pest control. In addition, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified pest control expert will take a look at your situation and outline a suitable control plan.
Orkin has been in the business for over 100 years. Its pest control specialists have to undergo 160 hours of training. In addition, due to its large network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin offers a professional property inspection to identify issues and develop an appropriate treatment plan. After the first visit, your technician will follow up regularly to make sure that the pests have not returned. If they have, your local technicians can assist
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners exterminate common pests for over 90 years. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control companies in North America. These include Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control expert will focus on both eliminating current pests and preventing future infestations. Depending on the city, Rentokil and its partners may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control providers are identical 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 selecting a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that is able to handle the type of pest you have, whether it’s rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should be able to provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
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 indicates that a technician has adequate training. Question the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Verify for yourself 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 consistent education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you choose an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Superior, 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” certifications. For bigger animals such as mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. But keep 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 potent traditional solutions. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control professionals usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will make another visit and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is taken care of. One-time treatments might not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected your top exterminators, contact each one with questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control companies using these questions. This will help you choose the best provider to safely and successfully eliminate your pest problem at a fair price.
Different pests come up in different places. In Superior, there are a few different ones that residents have to deal with. For an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we analyzed the pests talked about in around 10 million social media posts.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Superior are Terminix and Orkin. They're respected in the industry and cover all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every quarter. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from coming back.
For the most part, the chemicals used in pest control are safe. That being said, they must be handled by a trained exterminator to ensure they’re used properly and safely. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying out of your home for a certain amount of time. This is typically 2 to 4 hours, but can be as much as 24 hours.
In a town like Superior, where the cost of living is above average compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. How much pest control costs depends 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, while a quarterly treatment plan is usually cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
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.
