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 narrowed down the top pest control companies by looking at factors like customer satisfaction, types of pest control treatments offered, industry experience, coverage, and more.
Here’s how the top providers ranked:
Terminix is one of the largest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with branches across the United States and 22 other countries. With this breadth of experience, you can see why Terminix is one of the top companies in the country.
Terminix’s specialty is termites, but they take care of much more than just that. Their other services include: rodents, ticks, mosquitoes, ants, cockroaches, spiders, and wildlife control including skunks, raccoons, opossums, squirrels, and more. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
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. Its exterminators need to complete 160 hours of training. Plus, due to its big network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — service.
Pests Orkin helps with are rats, cockroaches, bed bugs, fleas, spiders, ticks, earwigs, flies, scorpions, carpenter ants, and more. After the initial treatment, your Orkin specialist will follow up to check that the pests haven’t come back. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest and most widely recognized pest control company, representing hundreds of brands worldwide. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control providers in North America. These include J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
It handles 36 of the most common pests including mice, flies, spiders, cockroaches, rats, moths, bed bugs, and more. After the initial inspection of your property, a technician will treat your property as often as your contract states.
Not all pest control companies are the same in credibility, qualifications, and proficiency. Researching providers helps you identify the right choice for your pest circumstance. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to describe how they treat your type of 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 indicates that the technicians have adequate training. Ask the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
Peruse reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before scheduling a pest control appointment. Confirm through customer feedback that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive consistent education on the latest and most innovative pest control treatments. When you select an exterminator from our list of Hibbing'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 companies with “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 considerable pest problem, you may need more effective traditional treatments. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the company will return and re-treat at no cost if you still have pests in your home after the initial visit. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected a few top-rated pest management providers, reach out to each of them and come prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
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 kinds of pests end up finding their way into Hibbing houses. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can cause anxiety. We created a list of the most common pests in the city by examining which pests were frequently posted about on social media platforms.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Hibbing are Terminix and Orkin. They're well-respected 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 other wildlife from coming inside your home.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take time to research your options thoroughly. We recommend obtaining quotes from several companies and looking at reviews to help figure out which company best fits your needs.
There are some pests you can control yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a stray wasp, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some infestations warrant calling the professionals. If you have an out-of-control infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Hibbing homeowners wonder 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 figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control companies for a quote.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will get much higher in the summer, so pest control in the spring can help prevent your property from getting too many pests later.
