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 top pest control companies to help you find the best provider for you. We analyzed costs, pest control treatments offered, state availability, contracts, customer reviews, and more.
This is how they ranked:
Terminix ranks as one of the top four pest control companies in the world, and it has been assisting homeowners with staying pest-free for over 90 years. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix offers both one-off extermination services and routine pest control. Plus, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. In addition to pest control, Terminix has other services, such as home disinfection services, mechanical exclusion, moisture control, and attic insulation.
Orkin Pest Control is based in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a large network of branches. It has great customer reviews and well-trained exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin’s typical pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin’s general pest control plan is also seasonal, meaning your home will be treated several times during the year.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of experience in the pest control industry. The company provides professional pest control solutions all around the world. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control companies like Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both exterminating current pests and preventing future infestations. Its services cover preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control businesses are the same in credibility, background, and proficiency. Vetting companies helps you identify the right choice for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control company:
You should look for a pest control company that primarily handles the pest you have, like termites, bed bugs, roaches, or rodents. The company should explain their process for treating your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from expert organizations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Having the proper credentials indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about continuing education opportunities.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before booking a pest control appointment. Ensure by reading reviews that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive consistent education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you select a professional from our list of the top pest control in Hastings, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for providers offering “green” certifications to get more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about gentle catch and release methods for larger animals like mice or snakes. Keep in mind that more potent treatments might be a better option for major infestations. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control provides usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will return and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments may not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have reduced your options to your top pest control providers, reach out to each one with questions such as:
Analyze potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to pick a qualified provider to effectively address your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
A variety of pests find their way into Hastings homes. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can give homeowners anxiety. We examined around 10 million online discussions to identify which pests were causing the most trouble for residents.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Hastings are Orkin and Terminix. They're highly regarded in the industry and cover all common pests.
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 home.
For the most part, pest control chemicals are safe. However, they must be handled by a professional exterminator to make sure they’re used safely. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying away from your home for a certain period of time. This is usually 2 to 4 hours, but can be a maximum of 24 hours.
Whether you should do DIY pest control or hire an exterminator depends on your situation. You’ll want to consider factors like what chemicals need to be used, the size of the infestation, and how much the pest control will cost. In addition, you may want to also get professional pest control if you're concerned about safety.
Many Hastings homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several providers for an estimate.
If you already have a serious pest 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 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.
