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:
Our team at Today's Homeowner identified the top pest control companies by comparing state availability, costs, customer reviews, and more.
This is how they ranked:
Terminix is one of the biggest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with many branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. The company provides state-of-the-art pest control services that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix has both one-off extermination services and seasonal pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. Along with pest control, Terminix provides services, like attic insulation, home disinfection services, mechanical exclusion, and moisture control.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the longest-running pest control companies with a expansive network of branches. Its exterminators must undergo 160 hours of training. Additionally, because of its large network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin offers a professional property inspection to identify potential problems and draw up an appropriate treatment plan. Orkin can book regular follow-up visits. Also, if you have recurrent problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service line.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has close to a century’s worth of experience exterminating pests. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control companies in North America. These include Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil deals with the common pests in Yazoo City, including bed bugs, crickets, bees, flies, ants, spiders, moths, mosquitoes, wasps, and cockroaches. Its services cover preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control services are equal when it comes to reputation, knowledge, and competence. It's important to do your research to determine the right option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control company:
It's recommended to look for a pest control company that primarily handles the pest you have, like termites, bed bugs, roaches, or rodents. The company should describe how they go about treating your type of pest.
When selecting a pest control company, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), on top of proper state licensing. These credentials show that the technicians have completed proper training. Also ask about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Before booking an appointment, browse online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a proven track record of providing effective service and positive customer experiences. Also look for any complaints with 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 a professional from our list of Yazoo City'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 providers that advertise “green” accreditation. For bigger animals such as mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a considerable pest problem, you may need more potent traditional solutions. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control providers normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will come back and re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't include reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected a few highly reviewed exterminator services, talk to each of them and come prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control companies using these questions. This will help you hire the best provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
You should be aware of the pests you're bound to encounter while living in Yazoo City. To help you identify the most common pests, we analyzed social media conversations and put together a list of the ones mentioned the most.
The best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They cover all common pests, have many locations, and have been in business for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every quarter or every two to three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
To find the best pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and do thorough research. We recommend obtaining quotes from multiple companies and reading through reviews to help determine which company best suits your needs.
In a town like Yazoo City, where the cost of living is below average compared to other cities, the cost of pest control may be a concern. The cost of pest control depends on several factors, including what type of pests are infesting your home and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, while a quarterly treatment plan is typically cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or even bi-monthly pest control treatments are recommended. If you have a more serious infestation, however, you may need to get monthly treatments for a few months until the infestation is resolved.
