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:
When ranking these pest control providers, we considered several factors like industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, customer service, coverage, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies in Winnemucca ranked:
Terminix ranks as one of the top four pest control companies in the world, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses stay pest-free for over 90 years. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix treats dozens of pests in Winnemucca, and it offers a 30-day guarantee. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
Founded in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has grown to be one of the most trustworthy in the pest control industry. Its exterminators have to undergo 160 hours of training. In addition, due to its large network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify issues and draw up treatment plan. Once the first treatment, your Orkin specialist will follow up to check that the pests haven’t come back. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners exterminate common pests for over 90 years. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control providers in North America. These include Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both getting rid of existing pests and preventing future infestations. Rentokil’s treatments are safe for your pets and children.
Not all pest control companies are identical when it comes to reputation, expertise, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the ideal option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control professional:
It's best to choose a pest control company that can effectively address your specific problem, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should have clearly laid out its expertise with your specific pest.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from expert organizations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Holding the proper credentials indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about regular training updates.
We advise checking out customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. 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 the latest pest control techniques and treatment methods. When you select a professional from our list of Winnemucca's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for services that use “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or raccoons nesting nearby. Keep in mind that natural options may be less effective for serious infestations. If you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control companies 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 usually don't come with reservice guarantees.
After picking your top pest management services, reach out to 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 hire the right provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
There are various types of pests in Winnemucca, ranging from harmless nuisances to disease-carrying insects. For an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we reviewed the pests talked about in around 10 million social media posts.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. 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 house once every quarter or every two to three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from coming back.
Whether you should do DIY pest control or hire an exterminator depends on your situation. You’ll want to take into consideration factors like how much the pest control will cost, the size of the infestation, and what chemicals need to be used. Additionally, you may want to also look into professional pest control if you're concerned about safety.
Many Winnemucca homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for an estimate.
We recommend quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly if needed. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
