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 companies by analyzing state availability, costs, customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, contracts, and more.
This is how we ranked the top pest control companies in Neosho:
Terminix has several hundred branches in more than 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for about 100 years. The company provides cutting-edge pest control treatments that are safe for you and your family.
Terminix is most widely known for its specialty termite services, but they handle much more than just that. Their other services include: ants, cockroaches, rodents, mosquitoes, ticks, spiders, and wildlife control such as squirrels, skunks, raccoons, opossums, and more. Terminix’s general pest regimen includes a home inspection and initial treatment, with three seasonal treatments during the year.
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 pest control specialists need to complete 160 hours of training. Additionally, because of its big network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Pests Orkin handles includes centipedes, spiders, bees, fleas, silverfish, cockroaches, rats, yellow jackets, moths, flies, and more. Orkin’s most common pest control service plan is also seasonal, so your home will be treated several times over the course of a year.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has nearly 100 years’ worth of experience protecting residents from pests. The well-known brand owns the North American pest control providers Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control expert will focus on both getting rid of current pests and preventing future infestations. After the initial inspection and treatment of your property, a technician will treat your property as often as your contract states.
Pest control companies aren't all the same when it comes to reputation, expertise, and effectiveness. It’s important to research companies to find the right one for your specific issue. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that is able to handle the type of pest you have, whether it’s termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to explain their approach for treating your type of pest.
The ideal pest control company will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by associations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials indicate that the technicians have finished proper training. You'll also want to ask each company about continuing training for their employees.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to 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 ongoing education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you select a provider from our list of Neosho'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 eco-friendly and natural pest control solutions, look for providers that have "green" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or other rodents coming inside, you can also inquire about humane catch and release. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective; consider the traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control professionals 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.
After choosing your top pest management services, call each one with questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate 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.
Which pests you see depends on where you live. In Neosho, there are a few different ones that residents may deal with. We studied around 10 million posts on social media to determine which pests people in different places had problems with the most.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're respected in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
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 other wildlife from coming back.
The key to finding the best pest control company for you is to contact several companies and get estimates from them. You should also make sure to read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Neosho homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To determine 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 seek 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 colony numbers get too high in the hotter part of the year. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
