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:
The team at Today's Homeowner narrowed down the top pest control providers by comparing state availability, costs, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how the top providers 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. It uses the latest innovations in pest control to exterminate insects and unwanted wildlife anywhere you see them.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they take care of much more than just that. Their other services include: spiders, cockroaches, ticks, ants, mosquitoes, rodents, and wildlife control such as opossums, raccoons, skunks, squirrels, and more. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified pest control expert will take a look at your situation and detail a suitable control plan.
Started in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has grown to be one of the most reputable in the pest control industry. It has positive consumer reviews and professional pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Pests Orkin helps with are centipedes, ticks, spiders, bed bugs, carpenter ants, termites, flies, mice, yellow jackets, hornets, and more. After the initial treatment, your Orkin exterminator will follow up to check that the pests haven’t come back. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with providers across the world and nearly a century of experience in the industry. The well-known brand owns the North American pest control providers J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil can help you with the common pests in Farmington, including crickets, mosquitoes, bees, cockroaches, flies, bed bugs, wasps, moths, ants, and spiders. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for 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 vary in credibility, knowledge, and capability. 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 is able to handle the type of pest you have, whether it’s bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to describe how they treat your type of pest.
When selecting a pest control provider, 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. Ask the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
Before scheduling an appointment, browse online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to see which providers have a reputation for providing effective service and positive customer experiences. Also look for any complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about ongoing training at the company as well as how its technicians stay up to date on the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you choose an exterminator from our list of Farmington's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more natural, eco-friendly pest control solutions, look for providers 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. Bear in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective; consider the traditional route for a more serious infestation. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat at no cost if your home still has pests after the initial treatment. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
After picking your top pest management services, contact each one with questions such as these:
Assess potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to select the right provider to effectively take care of your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Many types of pests end up finding their way into Farmington houses. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can cause anxiety. We created a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing what pests were frequently mentioned on social media.
The top pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They help with all common pests, have many locations, and have been in the industry for a long time.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property routinely is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your house.
Pest control chemicals are safe but have to 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. Generally, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Many Farmington homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for a quote.
We advise quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly if you'd like more protection. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
