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 experts to help you find the best provider for you. We analyzed customer reviews, costs, state availability, contracts, pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how the top companies in Hastings ranked:
Terminix has 300 branches in more than 22 countries and has been in business for about 100 years. Terminix has received several awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix exterminates all kinds of pest problems for residential and commercial customers. These include ants, spiders, rodents, opossums, termites, raccoons, and roaches. In addition to pest control, Terminix offers other services, including home disinfection services, moisture control, mechanical exclusion, and attic insulation.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the most trustworthy pest control companies in the country. It has excellent customer reviews and professional pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Pests Orkin helps with are bees, crickets, centipedes, spiders, bed bugs, scorpions, carpenter ants, earwigs, mice, moths, and more. Each scheduled service comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your exterminator will come back for another visit.
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest and most widely recognized pest control company, which owns hundreds of brands worldwide. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control companies in North America. These include J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control expert will focus on both eliminating existing pests and preventing future infestations. Rentokil uses treatments that are safe for your pets and children.
Not all pest control services are the same when it comes to reputation, proficiency, and effectiveness. It's important to do your research to determine the ideal option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
When selecting a pest control company, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. Solid credentials indicate that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also inquire about continuing education policies and total training hours.
We highly recommend reading customer reviews prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and has happy customers. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of ongoing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you select an exterminator from our list of Hastings' 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 humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or other burrowing rodents. However, natural options may be less effective for serious infestations; if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need stronger traditional methods. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control provides typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will return and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is taken care of. One-time treatments might not have reservice guarantees.
After selecting your top pest control companies, call each one and ask questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will enable you to select a qualified provider to effectively manage your pest situation at a fair price.
Many kinds of pests like to find their way into Hastings homes. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can give homeowners anxiety. To help you prepare for the most commonly seen pests, we examined social media conversations and created a list of the ones mentioned the most.
The best pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, have many locations, and have been in the industry for decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every quarter or every two to three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
There are some pests you can handle yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a stray cockroach, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some situations warrant calling the professionals. If you have a big infestation, you don’t know what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
A pest control company gets rid of unwanted bugs or animals that have infested a property. Pest control also includes preventative measures that stop said pests from coming back, which can happen at any point in Hastings, but usually during the warm summers.
Many Hastings homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several providers for an estimate.
We recommend quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly if needed. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
