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 so you can find the best provider for you. We assessed contracts, customer reviews, costs, pest control treatments offered, state availability, and more.
Here’s how Brookdale’s top companies ranked:
Terminix ranks as one of the top four pest control companies in the world, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses with their pest problems for over 90 years. Terminix has received several awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix provides both one-time extermination services and routine pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Terminix’s general pest regimen includes a home inspection and preliminary treatment, with three seasonal treatments over the course of a year.
Founded in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has evolved into one of the most trustworthy in the pest control industry. Because of its large network, Orkin can provide next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin’s most common 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 help
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with providers across the world and close to a century of experience in the industry. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control companies in North America. These include J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil deals with the common pests in Brookdale, including ants, spiders, wasps, bed bugs, moths, cockroaches, bees, mosquitoes, flies, and crickets. After the initial inspection of your property, a technician will return to your property every four months.
Not all pest control providers are the same when it comes to credibility, qualifications, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the most suitable option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control provider:
It's best to choose a pest control company that is equipped to handle 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.
When selecting a pest control provider, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. Solid credentials show that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also ask about required training hours and continuing education.
Before scheduling an appointment, take the time to read 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 via 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 a company from our list of the top pest control in Brookdale, 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 companies that promote “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or other burrowing rodents. 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. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't include reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified your top pest control providers, contact each one with these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control companies using these questions. This will help you hire the right provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
Different pests show up in different places. In Brookdale, there are a few different ones that residents have to deal with. We generated a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing which pests were frequently posted about on social media.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're well known 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 house once every quarter or every two to three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
A pest control company gets rid of unwanted insects or animals that have infested a home. Pest control also consists of preventative measures taken to help stop those pests from coming back, which can happen at any point in Brookdale, but usually during the warm summers.
Many Brookdale 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 find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control companies for a quote.
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 come spray your house is in the spring before nest and colony numbers get too high when it's warmer. But it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
