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:
When ranking these pest control providers, we considered several factors like customer service, industry experience, coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how Champlin’s top companies ranked:
Terminix is one of the biggest 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 Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, Watauga County Best of the Best, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix is widely known for its specialty termite services, but they handle much more than that. Their other services include: ticks, mosquitoes, cockroaches, ants, rodents, spiders, and wildlife control such as opossums, skunks, squirrels, raccoons, and more. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified pest control expert will assess your situation and outline a suitable control plan.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its pest control specialists must complete 160 hours of training. And, due to its big network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Pests Orkin helps with includes wasps, centipedes, carpenter ants, ticks, flies, mice, cockroaches, yellow jackets, spiders, termites, and more. 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 help
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of experience in the pest control industry. The company provides expert pest control solutions all around the world. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control branches like Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both exterminating existing pests and preventing future infestations. Rentokil’s services consist of preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Pest control providers vary in reputation, understanding, and competence. It's important to research services to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that can address 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.
The ideal pest management provider 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 completed proper training. You'll also want to inquire with each company about continuing training for their employees.
We highly recommend checking out customer reviews prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other review sites can tell you whether a company consistently provides quality service and has happy customers. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of ongoing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you select an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Champlin, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more natural, eco-friendly pest control solutions, look for companies that have "green" certifications. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or other rodents coming inside, you can also inquire about humane catch and release methods. Bear in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective; consider the traditional route for a more serious infestation. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control companies usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will return and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is handled. One-time treatments might not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have determined your top pest control providers, contact each one to ask these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will help you choose the right provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
Pests vary by location. In Champlin, there are a few different ones that residents may deal with. We examined around 10 million posts on social media to determine the most common pests in the city.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Champlin are Orkin and Terminix. They're highly regarded in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every two or three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but must be handled by a professional. If you have any questions about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — or are wondering how long you should stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Many Champlin homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several companies for a quote.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you just want preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your home is in the spring before nest and colony numbers get too high in the summer. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
