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 so you can find the best provider for you. We assessed pest control treatments offered, costs, contracts, customer reviews, state availability, and more.
This is how they ranked:
Terminix ranks as one of the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses stay pest-free for over 90 years. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix helps with many types of pests in Blue Springs, and it offers a 30-day guarantee. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified exterminator will assess your situation and provide a suitable control plan.
Orkin has been in the industry for over 100 years. Because of its large network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify problem pests and areas and draw up a suitable treatment plan. Once the first treatment, your Orkin specialist will follow up to check that the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has almost 100 years’ worth of experience protecting residents from pests. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few regional pest control branches like Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both eliminating current pests and preventing future infestations. After the initial inspection of your property, a technician will treat your property as often as your contract states.
Pest control services aren't all equal when it comes to credibility, expertise, and capability. It’s important to research services to find the right one for your specific circumstance. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its area of expertise.
When choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians with certifications in pest control methods from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), on top of proper state licensing. Solid credentials show that the technicians have completed proper training. Also ask about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Read online reviews on Google and Yelp before scheduling a pest control appointment. This can help you confirm whether the company consistently provides quality service and positive experiences. Also check the Better Business Bureau for any complaints. Ask the provider whether technicians receive continual training to stay current on the latest pest control methods. When you select a provider from our list of Blue Springs' best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for companies that promote “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or raccoons nesting nearby. Keep in mind that natural options may be less effective for serious infestations; if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control provides typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will come back and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments might not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have reduced your options to your top exterminators, reach out to each one with questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will enable you to hire the best provider to effectively manage your pest situation at a fair price.
You should know which pests you could come across while living in Blue Springs. For an idea of the most prevalent pests in the city, we reviewed the pests discussed in around 10 million social media posts.
The best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They cover all common pests, service locations nationwide, and have been in the industry for 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.
To find the best pest control company for you, the key is to take time to do thorough research. We recommend obtaining quotes from several companies and reading reviews to help figure out which company is the best for you.
Many Blue Springs 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.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or bi-monthly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the infestation is resolved.
