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:
Our team at Today's Homeowner narrowed it down to these pest control companies by analyzing pest control treatments offered, customer reviews, costs, state availability, contracts, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies in Hooksett ranked:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries around the globe. It has also been in the industry for about 100 years. Terminix has received several awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix’s specialty is termites, but they handle much more than just that. Their other services include: ticks, mosquitoes, spiders, ants, rodents, cockroaches, and wildlife control such as raccoons, skunks, squirrels, opossums, and more. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its exterminators must complete 160 hours of training. Plus, because of its large network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Pests Orkin handles includes yellow jackets, crickets, silverfish, moths, carpenter ants, fleas, rats, flies, ticks, bed bugs, and more. Each pest control contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your technician will return for another visit.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners exterminate common pests for over 90 years. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control providers in North America. These include Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
It protects against 36 of the most common pests including cockroaches, mice, flies, rats, bed bugs, moths, spiders, and more. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pests after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Not all pest control businesses are the same when it comes to reputation, expertise, and competence. 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 hiring a pest control provider:
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 clearly lay out its area of expertise.
When choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians with certifications in pest control methods from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. These credentials indicate that the technicians have completed proper training. Also inquire about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Take some time to read online reviews on Google and Yelp before committing to a pest control provider. This can help you verify 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 latest pest control methods. When you choose a company from our list of the top pest control in Hooksett, 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 companies that promote “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, and 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.
Quality pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. The guarantees mean the company will return and re-treat for free if your home still has pests following the initial visit. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected your top exterminators, reach out to each one to ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control companies using these questions. This will help you select the best provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
Different pests appear in different locations. In Hooksett, there are a few different ones that residents may deal with. Our experts examined around 10 million posts on social media to identify the pests that are the biggest headache in the area.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies in Hooksett are Orkin and Terminix. They're well known in the industry and cover all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property regularly is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your home.
Pest control chemicals are safe but need to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions or concerns about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — and how long you should stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Many Hooksett homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several companies for a quote.
For apartments and homes, quarterly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may need to get monthly treatments for a few months until the problem is resolved.
