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 providers by considering factors like coverage, industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, customer satisfaction, and more.
This is how we ranked the top pest control companies in Laconia:
Terminix is one of the biggest and oldest pest control companies in the world, with many branches across the United States and 22 other countries. It uses the latest technology in pest control to exterminate insects and unwanted wildlife no matter where you find them.
Terminix treats all kinds of pests in Laconia, and if you’re not completely satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Along with pest control, Terminix provides services, such as attic insulation, moisture control, mechanical exclusion, and home disinfection services.
Started in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has evolved into one of the most reputable in the pest control industry. Due to its large network, Orkin can provide same-day or next-day service.
Orkin’s most common pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. Once the initial 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 is a service group with over 90 years of experience in the pest control industry. The company provides professional pest control treatments for homeowners and business owners. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control providers in North America. These include Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil handles the common pests in Laconia, including ants, cockroaches, crickets, mosquitoes, flies, bees, moths, wasps, spiders, and bed bugs. Rentokil’s services consist of preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control businesses are identical when it comes to reputation, qualifications, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the best option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control professional:
It's recommended to look for a pest control company that focuses their business on the pest you have, like rodents, roaches, bed bugs, or termites. The company should provide an overview of how they treat 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 the technicians have adequate training. Question the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
We suggest checking out customer reviews prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and similar sites can tell you 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 best pest control practices. When you choose an exterminator from our list of Laconia'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 services that use “green” certified solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or other burrowing rodents. However, 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) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. The guarantees mean the company will return and re-treat at no cost if you still have pests in your home following the initial visit. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have found your top pest control providers, contact each one to ask these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the best provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
There are a variety of pests in Laconia, ranging from harmless bothers to ones that can damage your home. We analyzed around 10 million online conversations to identify which pests were causing the most trouble for residents.
The top 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 house once every quarter. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
Whether you should do DIY pest control or hire a company depends on your situation. You’ll want to consider factors like the size of the infestation, how much the pest control will cost, 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 Laconia homeowners are concerned 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 find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several providers for a quote.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. This is because nests and colony numbers will get much higher in the summer, so spraying in the spring can help prevent you from getting too many pests later.
