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:
Today's Homeowner narrowed it down to these pest control providers by comparing costs, contracts, customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, state availability, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries around the globe. It has also been in business for almost 100 years. It uses the latest pest control techniques to exterminate insects and unwanted wildlife anywhere you see them.
Terminix takes care of all types of pest issues for residential and commercial customers. These include raccoons, opossums, rodents, spiders, ants, termites, and roaches. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the longest-running pest control companies with a large network of branches. Its exterminators need to complete 160 hours of training. Plus, due to its large network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin offers a professional property inspection to identify issues and develop an appropriate treatment plan. Orkin can arrange regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurrent pest problems or any other urgent pest control needs, you can contact a customer service representative.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with providers across the world and almost a century of experience in the industry. The global brand owns the North American pest control companies Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both getting rid of current pests and preventing future infestations. Rentokil’s treatments are safe for your pets and children.
Not all pest control providers are the same in reputation, skill set, and competence. Evaluating businesses helps you identify the right choice for your pest situation. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from qualified industry groups, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Possessing the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about regular training updates.
We advise looking at customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other review sites will show 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 ongoing education technicians receive to stay current on the latest pest control techniques and treatment methods. When you choose a company from our list of Minnetrista's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for providers that specialize in “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or squirrels in your attic. However, natural options may be less effective for serious infestations. If you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need stronger traditional methods. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control companies usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a company will come back to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments might not include these reservice warranties.
Once you have selected your top pest control providers, reach out to each one and ask questions such as:
Review potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to choose a qualified provider to effectively solve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Minnetrista is home to a number of pests, from wildlife to insects. So you can have an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we analyzed the pests talked about in around 10 million social media posts.
The top pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They can treat all common pests, have many locations, and have been in the industry for several decades.
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.
Pest control chemicals are safe but need to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — and how long you need to stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and research your options thoroughly. We recommend getting quotes from multiple companies and reading through reviews to help figure out which company best suits your needs.
Many Minnetrista 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 find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control companies for a quote.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should get 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. But it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
