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 contracts, state availability, costs, customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies ranked in Lebanon:
Terminix is one of the biggest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with many branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. Terminix has received multiple 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 handles all kinds of pest problems for residential and commercial customers. These include raccoons, spiders, ants, termites, roaches, opossums, and rodents. Along with pest control, Terminix has other services, such as attic insulation, mechanical exclusion, moisture control, and home disinfection services.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the most reputable pest control companies in the country. Because of its vast network, Orkin can offer same-day or next-day service.
Orkin offers a professional property inspection to identify potential problems and develop an appropriate treatment plan. Orkin can schedule regular follow-up visits. Also, if you have recurring pest problems or any other urgent pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service line.
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest and most widely recognized pest control company, which owns hundreds of brands worldwide. The global brand owns the North American pest control providers J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil and its partners control for the following pests: spiders, wasps, mosquitoes, ants, flies, bed bugs, cockroaches, bees, moths, and crickets. Rentokil uses treatments that are safe for your pets and children.
Not all pest control services are the same in reputation, background, and effectiveness. Researching services helps you identify the right choice for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control professional:
You should choose a pest control company that has expertise handling your specific problem, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should clearly describe on their website its expertise with your specific pest.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from qualified industry groups, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Possessing the proper credentials indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about continuing education opportunities.
Before booking an appointment, spend time reading online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to see which providers have a proven track record of providing positive experiences and effective services. Also check for complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you select an exterminator from our list of Lebanon'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” certified solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or squirrels in your attic. 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. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. The guarantees mean the company will come back and re-treat at no cost if your home still has pests after the initial treatment. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
After picking your top pest management services, contact each one and ask questions such as these:
Analyze potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the best provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Lebanon is home to several pests, from wildlife to insects. To give you an idea of the most prevalent pests in the city, we reviewed the pests mentioned in around 10 million posts on social media.
The top pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They can treat all common pests, have locations nationwide, and have been in business for several decades.
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 returning.
For the most part, the chemicals used in pest control are safe. However, they need to be handled by a professional exterminator to make sure they’re used properly, which is especially important if you have young children. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying away from your home for a certain period of time. This is usually 2 to 4 hours, but can be up to 24 hours.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and do thorough research. We recommend getting quotes from multiple companies and reading through reviews to help figure out which company is the best for you.
Many Lebanon 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 a visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several companies for an estimate.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. This is because nests and colony numbers will get much higher in the summer, so pest control in the spring can help prevent you from getting too many pests later.
