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've narrowed down the best pest control companies to help you find the best provider for you. We analyzed contracts, customer reviews, state availability, costs, pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how the top pest control companies in East Grand Forks ranked:
Terminix ranks in 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. With the amount of experience the company has, you can see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix treats dozens of pests in East Grand Forks, and it offers a 30-day guarantee. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified exterminator will take a look at your situation and outline a suitable control plan.
Started in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has become one of the most trustworthy in the pest control industry. Because of its large network, Orkin can provide next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin offers an expert property inspection to identify problem pests and areas and develop an appropriate treatment plan. Orkin can book regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurring problems or any other urgent pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service.
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest pest control company, which is made up of hundreds of brands worldwide. 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.
It helps with 36 of the most common pests including bed bugs, mice, spiders, moths, rats, cockroaches, flies, and more. Its services consist of preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control services are the equal in reputation, skill set, and proficiency. Researching services helps you identify the right choice for your pest issue. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly lay out its area of expertise.
When selecting a pest control provider, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. The right credentials indicate that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also inquire about continuing education policies and total training hours.
We suggest reading customer reviews prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites can tell you whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of continuing education technicians receive to stay current on the latest pest control techniques and treatment methods. When you select a professional from our list of East Grand Forks' 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 larger pests like mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. But keep 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 (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control provides usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will come back and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is taken care of. One-time treatments may not include reservice guarantees.
After picking your top pest management services, reach out to each one with questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control companies using these questions. This will enable you to choose a qualified provider to effectively manage your pest situation at a fair price.

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.
To find the best pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and research your options thoroughly. We recommend obtaining quotes from multiple companies and reading through reviews to help figure out which company is the right one for you.
