Today's Homeowner looks at dozens of datapoints on pest 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:
Looking for a pest control company with nation-wide expertise? Here are our top picks:
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. It uses the latest innovations in pest control to rid your home of insects and unwanted wildlife no matter where you find them.
Terminix treats many types of pests in Washington, and if you're not satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
Orkin has been in the business for over 100 years. Its pest control specialists do 160 hours of training. Plus, due to its big network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
The pests Orkin handles are ticks, moths, carpenter ants, bed bugs, flies, fleas, termites, mice, cockroaches, silverfish, bees, earwigs, spiders, hornets, rats, yellow jackets, wasps, crickets, centipedes, and scorpions. Orkin's most common pest control service is also quarterly, meaning your home will be treated several times during the year.
Which pests you may see depends on where you live. In Washington, there are a few different ones that residents may deal with. To help you prepare for the most problematic pests, we examined various social media sites and made a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies in Washington are Orkin and Terminix. They're well known in the industry and cover all common pests.
A pest control company removes unwanted insects or animals that have infested your home. Pest control also consists of preventative measures taken to stop those pests from returning, which can happen at any point in Washington, but usually during the warm summers.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property once every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your home.
In a town like Washington 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 varies depending on several factors, including what type of pests you have an issue with 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.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you'd just like 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 when it's warmer. But it's never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
