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:
We narrowed down the top pest control providers by comparing factors like industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, coverage, customer satisfaction, and more.
Here’s how Lakewood’s top providers ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of pest control experience. The company provides professional pest control treatments that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix treats all kinds of pests in Lakewood, and it guarantees that your pest problems will be solved. Terminix’s general pest regimen includes a home inspection and preliminary treatment, with three seasonal treatments over the course of a year.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a large network of branches. Its exterminators need to undergo 160 hours of training. Plus, due to its large network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Pests Orkin helps with are scorpions, bed bugs, mice, carpenter ants, centipedes, cockroaches, earwigs, wasps, moths, spiders, and more. Orkin can book regular follow-up visits. Also, if you have recurrent pest problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service line.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has close to a century’s worth of experience protecting residents from pests. The global brand owns the North American pest control providers Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both eliminating current pests and preventing future infestations. Depending on your location, Rentokil may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control providers are the same when it comes to credibility, proficiency, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the ideal option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to explain their approach for treating your type of pest.
When selecting a pest control company, look for technicians that are licensed by the state and certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Having these credentials demonstrates that a technician has adequate training. Ask the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
Before scheduling an appointment, take the time to read online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a reputation for 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 the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you choose a company from our list of Lakewood's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for providers that have “green” accreditations to get more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about gentle catch and release methods for larger animals like mice or snakes. Keep in mind that stronger solutions might be a better option for significant infestations. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. The guarantees mean the company will come back and re-treat at no cost if you still have pests in your home after the initial visit. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have determined your top pest management companies, reach out to each one to ask these questions:
Carefully review potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you hire the right provider to safely and effectively get rid of your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Different pests show up in different locations. In Lakewood, there are a few different ones that residents may deal with. To give you an idea of the most common pests in the city, we studied the pests discussed in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're well known in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your house once every quarter. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from returning.
A pest control company exterminates unwanted bugs or animals that have infested your home. Pest control also includes preventative measures taken to help stop said pests from returning, which can happen at any point in Lakewood, but usually during the warm summers.
In a city like Lakewood, where the cost of living is remarkably high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. How much pest control costs varies depending on several factors, including what kind of pests you have an issue with and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, but a quarterly treatment plan is generally cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’re just interested in preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional spray your home 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 any other season and see effective results.
