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 Today's Homeowner team narrowed down the top pest control companies by comparing factors like types of pest control treatments offered, customer satisfaction, coverage, industry experience, and more.
This is how they ranked:
Terminix is one of the largest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with many branches across the United States and 22 other countries. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix exterminates all types of pest problems for residential and commercial customers. These include spiders, ants, roaches, rodents, opossums, termites, and raccoons. In addition to pest control, Terminix provides other services, such as moisture control, attic insulation, home disinfection services, and mechanical exclusion.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the largest pest control companies in the country. It has positive consumer reviews and skilled exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin offers a professional property inspection to identify problem pests and areas and develop treatment plan. Once the initial treatment, your Orkin specialist will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t come back. If they have, your local technicians can assist.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has almost a century’s worth of experience getting rid of pests. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control providers in North America. These include J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil and its partners take care of the following pests: spiders, wasps, flies, moths, bees, cockroaches, mosquitoes, crickets, ants, and bed bugs. Rentokil’s services cover preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Pest control services vary in reputation, proficiency, and effectiveness. It's important to research companies to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control company:
You should look for a pest control company that specializes in treating the pest you have, like rodents, roaches, bed bugs, or termites. The company should describe how they go about 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 show that the technicians have completed proper training. You'll also want to ask each company about regular education updates for their employees.
Before booking an appointment, spend time reading online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a proven track record of providing positive experiences and effective services. Also check for any complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Ask about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you choose a provider from our list of Spring Creek's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for providers that advertise “green” certifications. For bigger animals such as mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a moderate to serious pest problem, you may need more potent traditional solutions. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will come back and re-treat your home for free if there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services may not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have narrowed down your top exterminators, reach out to each one to ask questions such as:
Carefully review potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the right provider to safely and effectively get rid of your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Spring Creek is home to several pests, from insects to wildlife. Our team examined around 10 million social media posts to identify the pests that cause the most trouble in the area.
The best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They cover 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 home once every quarter or every two to three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
The key to finding the right pest control company for you is to contact several companies and get estimates from them. You should also be sure to read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
In a town like Spring Creek, where the cost of living is above average compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. The cost of pest control depends on several factors, such as what type of pests are infesting your home and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, but a quarterly treatment plan is generally cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will get much higher as it gets warmer, so spraying in the spring can help prevent you from getting too many pests later.
