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 considered several factors like types of pest control treatments offered, customer service, coverage, industry experience, and more.
This is how the top companies in Fridley ranked:
Terminix is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries worldwide. It has also been in business for almost 100 years. Terminix has received numerous 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 treats all kinds of pests in Fridley, and it guarantees that your pest problems will be solved. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified pest control expert will take a look at your situation and outline a suitable control plan.
Orkin Pest Control is based in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the longest-running pest control companies with a large network of branches. Its pest control specialists must complete 160 hours of training. Plus, because of its big network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Pests Orkin handles are wasps, spiders, flies, mice, fleas, bees, hornets, cockroaches, crickets, silverfish, and more. Orkin can arrange regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurring problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact a customer service representative.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with providers across the globe and almost a century of experience in the industry. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control branches like J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil and its partners deal with the following pests: mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches, moths, bed bugs, crickets, bees, wasps, spiders, and ants. Depending on where you live, Rentokil may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control companies are the same in reputation, experience, and proficiency. Vetting providers helps you identify the right choice for your pest issue. Here are the key factors to consider 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 rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its area of expertise.
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). Having these credentials demonstrates that a technician has adequate training. Ask the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
Before scheduling an appointment, browse online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a reputation for providing effective service and positive customer experiences. Also check 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 current pest control best practices. When you choose a company from our list of the top pest control in Fridley, 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 that advertise “green” accreditation. For bigger animals such as mice or snakes, 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 moderate to serious pest problem, you may need stronger traditional treatments. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control professionals usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a provider will return to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments might not include these reservice warranties.
Once you have identified a few highly reviewed exterminator services, have conversations with each of them and be prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the best provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
Fridley is home to various pests, from insects to wildlife. We analyzed around 10 million online conversations to determine the most common pests in the city.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're highly regarded in the industry and cover all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every quarter. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
The key to finding the best exterminator for you is to get in touch with several companies and get quotes from them. You should also make sure to read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Fridley 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 a visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for a quote.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’d just like 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. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
