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:
The team at Today's Homeowner narrowed it down to these pest control companies by analyzing pest control treatments offered, state availability, customer reviews, costs, contracts, and more.
This is how they ranked:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries worldwide. It has also been in the industry for almost 100 years. The company provides effective pest control services that are safe for you and your family.
Terminix takes care of all types of pest issues for residential and commercial customers. These include spiders, termites, opossums, raccoons, roaches, ants, and rodents. Terminix’s typical pest regimen consists of a home inspection and initial treatment, followed by three seasonal treatments over the course of a year.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the most trustworthy pest control companies in the country. Its pest control specialists have to undergo 160 hours of training. In addition, because of its big network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — service.
Pests Orkin helps with are bees, flies, wasps, earwigs, yellow jackets, ticks, moths, fleas, centipedes, crickets, and more. After your initial visit, your technician will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have not returned. If they have, your local technicians can assist
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has close to 100 years’ worth of experience dealing with pests. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control companies in North America. These include J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control expert will focus on both exterminating current pests and preventing future infestations. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pest problems after service, Rentokil will visit again until the issue is resolved.
Not all pest control businesses are the same in credibility, background, and competence. Researching services helps you identify the right choice for your pest situation. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control professional:
It's recommended to look for a pest control company that specializes in treating the pest you have, like rodents, roaches, bed bugs, or termites. The company should provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control company, look for technicians that are licensed by the state and certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Possessing these credentials indicates that the technicians have adequate training. Ask the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
Look through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Ensure by reading reviews 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 ongoing education on the latest and most innovative pest control treatments. When you choose a provider from our list of Jackson'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 more natural, eco-friendly pest control solutions, look for companies that have "green" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or other rodents coming inside, you can also ask about humane catch and release. Bear in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective. You may need to consider the traditional route for a more serious infestation. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control providers normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will return 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 identified a few highly reviewed exterminator services, reach out to each one and be prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Review potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to choose the best provider to effectively solve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Many types of pests like to find their way into Jackson residences. Some are relatively harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can cause anxiety. Our experts reviewed around 10 million online discussions to determine the pests that pose the most problems in the area.
The top pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They cover all common pests, service many locations, and have been in business for a long time.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property regularly is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your home.
For the most part, the chemicals used in pest control are safe. Even so, they have to be handled by a trained exterminator to ensure they’re used properly. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying away from your home for a certain amount of time. This is generally 2 to 4 hours, but can be as much as 24 hours.
Many Jackson homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for an estimate.
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 need to get monthly treatments for a few months until the infestation is resolved.
