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 to help you find the right provider for you. We assessed costs, contracts, pest control treatments offered, customer reviews, state availability, and more.
Here’s how we ranked them:
Terminix is one of the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses stay pest-free for over 90 years. With this breadth of experience, it’s easy to see why Terminix is one of the top companies in the country.
Terminix is most widely known for its specialty termite services, but they take care of much more than just that. Their other services include: ants, rodents, spiders, ticks, mosquitoes, cockroaches, and wildlife control such as opossums, skunks, squirrels, raccoons, and more. Terminix’s typical pest regimen consists of a home inspection and preliminary treatment, with three seasonal treatments over the course of a year.
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. Because of its large network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin’s most common pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin’s typical pest control plan is also seasonal, which means your home will be treated several times during the year.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners exterminate common pests for over 90 years. The brand owns the North American pest control providers J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
It exterminates 36 of the most common pests including rats, flies, bed bugs, moths, spiders, mice, cockroaches, and more. The company guarantees satisfaction with its treatments. If you still have pest problems after service, Rentokil will visit again until the issue is resolved.
Not all pest control providers are the same when it comes to reputation, expertise, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the most suitable option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control professional:
It's recommended to look for a pest control company that specializes in treating the pest you have, like bed bugs, termites, roaches, or rodents. The company should describe how they go about treating your type of pest.
The ideal pest management provider will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by organizations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials show that the technicians have received proper training. You'll also want to ask each company about regular education updates for their employees.
Take some time to 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 most up-to-date pest control methods. When you choose a professional from our list of Grand Island's 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” certified solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or other burrowing rodents. Keep in mind that natural options may be less effective for serious infestations, and if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need stronger traditional methods. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat at no cost if you still have pests in your home following the initial visit. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
After picking your top exterminators, contact each one with questions such as these:
Analyze potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you select the right provider to safely and effectively get rid of your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Grand Island is home to several pests, from insects to wildlife. So you can have an idea of the most prevalent pests in the city, we analyzed the pests discussed in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
The top pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They can treat all common pests, service many locations, and have been in the industry for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every quarter. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from coming back.
The key to finding the best pest control company for you is to contact multiple companies and get quotes from them. You should also make sure to read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Grand Island homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically 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 getting in touch with several companies for an estimate.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’d just like preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your house is in the spring before 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 in other seasons and see effective results.
