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:
Today's Homeowner has narrowed down the best pest control companies so you can find the right provider for you. We analyzed state availability, pest control treatments offered, costs, customer reviews, contracts, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies in Burnsville ranked:
Terminix ranks as one of the top four pest control companies in the world, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses with their pest problems for over 90 years. Terminix has received multiple 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 is termites, but they handle much more than just that. Their other services include: mosquitoes, cockroaches, spiders, ticks, rodents, ants, and wildlife control including opossums, raccoons, squirrels, skunks, and more. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. Because of its large network, Orkin can provide next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Pests Orkin deals with are earwigs, crickets, flies, fleas, hornets, ticks, bees, cockroaches, rats, yellow jackets, and more. Each contract with Orkin comes with a 30-day guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your exterminator will come back for another visit.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of experience. 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 providers like Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control expert will focus on both exterminating current pests and preventing future infestations. After the initial inspection and treatment of your home, a technician will return to your property every quarter.
Pest control services vary in reputation, knowledge, and capability. It's important to research services to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its area of expertise.
The ideal exterminator will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by associations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials indicate that the technicians have finished proper training. You'll also want to ask each company about ongoing education for their employees.
Before scheduling an appointment, browse online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to see which providers have a proven track record of providing effective service and positive customer experiences. Also look for any complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you choose a company from our list of Burnsville'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 bigger animals such as mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. 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 effective traditional solutions. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will make another visit and re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services may not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have found your top pest control providers, reach out to each one to ask these questions:
Evaluate potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to choose a qualified provider to effectively address your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Burnsville is home to various pests, from insects to wildlife. To give you an idea of the most prevalent pests in the city, we examined the pests mentioned in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Burnsville are Orkin and Terminix. They're highly regarded in the industry and cover all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property routinely is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your house.
Pest control chemicals are safe but must be handled by a professional. If you have any questions or concerns about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — and how long you have to stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Many Burnsville homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control companies for an estimate.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. This is because nests and colony numbers will grow much larger in the summer, so pest control in the spring can help prevent your property from getting too many pests later.
