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 companies, we took into consideration several factors like customer service, industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, coverage, and more.
This is how we ranked the top pest control companies in East Bethel:
Terminix ranks as one of the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses stay pest-free for over 90 years. With this experience, it’s easy to see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they help with much more than that. Their other services include: ticks, cockroaches, mosquitoes, spiders, rodents, ants, and wildlife control including opossums, skunks, raccoons, squirrels, and more. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
Founded in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has grown to be one of the most trusted in the pest control industry. Its exterminators need to complete 160 hours of training. Plus, due to its large network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin offers an expert property inspection to identify potential problems and draw up treatment plan. Each contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your technician will return for another visit.
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest pest control company, which owns hundreds of brands worldwide. The large brand owns the North American pest control providers Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil and its partners take care of the following pests: flies, bed bugs, ants, moths, crickets, mosquitoes, spiders, cockroaches, wasps, and bees. The company guarantees satisfaction with its treatments. If you still have pest problems after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Pest control services aren't all equal when it comes to reputation, knowledge, and competence. It’s important to research companies to find the right one for your specific circumstance. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control company:
You should choose a pest control company that can effectively address your specific problem, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should have clearly laid out its expertise with your specific 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). Obtaining these credentials shows that the technicians have adequate training. Inquire with the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
Before booking an appointment, spend time reading online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a proven track record of providing positive experiences and effective services. Also look for complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you choose a company from our list of East Bethel's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for providers offering “green” accreditation. 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 considerable pest problem, you may need more potent traditional solutions. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will come back and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is taken care of. One-time treatments might not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified a few highly reviewed exterminator services, reach out to each of them and come prepared to ask these types of questions:
Assess potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to choose the best provider to effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
A variety of pests find their way into East Bethel homes. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can cause anxiety. For an idea of the most common pests in the city, we reviewed the pests mentioned in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
The top pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They cover all common pests, service many locations, and have been in the industry for a long time.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your house.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire a company depends on your situation. You’ll want to take into consideration factors like how much the pest control will cost, the size of the infestation, and what chemicals need to be used. Additionally, you may want to also consider professional pest control if you're concerned about safety.
Many East Bethel 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 find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several companies for an estimate.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you just want preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional spray your house is in the spring before colony numbers get too high in the summer. But it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
