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 team at Today's Homeowner has narrowed down the top pest control experts to help you find the right provider for you. We assessed customer reviews, state availability, costs, pest control treatments offered, contracts, and more.
Here’s how the top providers ranked:
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. The company offers cutting-edge pest control services that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix treats many types of pests in Berlin, and if you aren’t satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. In addition to pest control, Terminix offers services, such as home disinfection services, moisture control, mechanical exclusion, and attic insulation.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the most reputable pest control companies in the country. Its pest control specialists have to undergo 160 hours of training. Additionally, due to its big network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin’s most popular pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. After the first visit, your technician will follow up regularly to make sure that the pests have stayed away for good. If they have, your local technicians can assist
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with branches across the globe and close to a century of experience in the industry. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several regional pest control branches like Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners handle the following pests: mosquitoes, crickets, spiders, cockroaches, bees, ants, moths, flies, wasps, and bed bugs. Rentokil’s services include preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control services are the identical in credibility, experience, and proficiency. Researching providers helps you identify the right choice for your pest circumstance. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to explain their approach for treating your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control company, look for technicians that have the proper state licensing and are certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Having these credentials indicates that a technician has adequate training. Ask the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to booking a pest control appointment. Ensure by reading reviews that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive consistent education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you select a provider from our list of Berlin'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 providers that specialize in “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or squirrels in your attic. 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 stronger traditional methods. No matter your approach to pest control, any 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 provider will make another visit and re-treat your home for free if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified a few highly reviewed exterminator services, have conversations with each one and come prepared to ask these types of questions:
Evaluate potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to choose the best provider to effectively address your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Berlin is home to various pests, from wildlife to insects. We created a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing which pests were often mentioned on social media.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're respected in the industry and cover all common pests.
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. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from coming back.
The key to finding the best exterminator for you is to get in touch with several companies and get quotes from them. You should also make sure to read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
In a town like Berlin, where the cost of living is average compared to other cities, the cost of pest control may be a concern. How much pest control costs varies depending on several factors, such as what type of pests are troubling you and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, while a quarterly treatment plan is generally cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
If you already have a serious pest 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 house is in the spring before nest and colony numbers get too high in the summer. But it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
