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:
When ranking these pest control companies, we took into consideration factors like customer service, coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, industry experience, and more.
Here’s how we ranked them:
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. It uses the latest innovations in pest control to exterminate insects and unwanted wildlife no matter where you find them.
Terminix offers both one-time extermination services and routine pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. 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. Because of its vast network, Orkin can provide next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Pests Orkin helps with includes earwigs, crickets, spiders, mice, fleas, bed bugs, silverfish, yellow jackets, hornets, carpenter ants, and more. After the initial visit, your technician will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have not returned. If they have, your local technicians can assist
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest pest control company, which is made up of hundreds of brands worldwide. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers such as Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X, which can provide individual services.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both getting rid of current pests and preventing future infestations. After the initial inspection of your property, a technician will service your property every four months.
Pest control services vary in credibility, understanding, and skill. It's important to research providers to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control company:
It's recommended to look for a pest control company that specializes in treating the pest you have, like roaches, bed bugs, termites, or rodents. The company should describe how they go about treating your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control provider, 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). Possessing 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.
Before booking an appointment, browse online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to see which providers have a proven track record of providing effective service and positive customer experiences. 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 the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you select an exterminator from our list of Hillsdale's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for companies with “green” certifications. For bigger animals such as mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a substantial pest problem, you may need more effective traditional treatments. 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 professionals typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. The guarantees mean the provider will return and re-treat for free if your home still has pests following the initial treatment. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
After selecting your top pest management services, call each one with questions such as these:
Carefully review potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you select the best provider to safely and effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable price.
There are a variety of pests in Hillsdale, ranging from harmless annoyances to disease-carrying insects. We examined around 10 million social media conversations to determine the most common pests in the city.
The best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They can treat all common pests, service many locations, and have been in the industry for a long time.
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 other wildlife from coming inside your home.
There are some pests you can handle yourself. For example, if you see some ants or a rogue spider, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some pest infestations warrant bringing in the professionals. If you have an out-of-control infestation, you don’t know what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Hillsdale 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 an estimate.
We recommend quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly if needed. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
