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:
Today's Homeowner identified the top pest control providers by comparing costs, customer reviews, state availability, and more.
Here’s how we ranked them:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of pest control industry experience. It utilizes the latest technology in pest control to get rid of pests no matter where they are.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they exterminate much more than that. Their other services include: mosquitoes, rodents, cockroaches, ticks, ants, spiders, and wildlife control including opossums, raccoons, skunks, squirrels, and more. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified exterminator will assess your situation and outline a suitable control plan.
Orkin Pest Control is based in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a expansive network of branches. Because of its vast network, Orkin can offer same-day or next-day service.
Orkin handles many common pests, including cockroaches, spiders, ants, and silverfish. After your 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 assist
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with providers across the world and almost a century of experience in the industry. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few regional pest control branches like J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil and its partners take care of the following pests: cockroaches, spiders, bees, wasps, mosquitoes, bed bugs, moths, ants, crickets, and flies. Its services cover preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control services are the same when it comes to reputation, 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:
It's best to choose a pest control company that has expertise handling your specific problem, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly describe on their website 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), on top of proper state licensing. These credentials show that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also ask about required training hours and continuing education.
Before scheduling an appointment, browse online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has 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 current pest control best practices. When you select a provider from our list of the top pest control in Martinsville, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for providers offering “green” certifications if you want more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about humane trapping programs that don't harm pests like mice or squirrels. Keep in mind that traditional methods might be a better option for significant infestations. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control professionals usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a provider will come back to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments might not include these reservice warranties.
After picking your top pest control companies, contact each one and ask questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will help you select the best provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
Pests vary by location. In Martinsville, there are a few different ones that residents may deal with. Our team analyzed around 10 million social media conversations to determine the pests that are the biggest headache in the area.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. 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 home once every quarter. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
There are some pests you can handle yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a stray cockroach, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some pest infestations warrant bringing in the professionals. If you have a big infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
A pest control company exterminates unwanted insects or animals that have infested your home. Pest control also includes preventative measures that help stop those pests from returning, which can happen at any point in Martinsville, but usually during the warm summers.
In a town like Martinsville, where the cost of living is very high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. The cost of pest control varies based on several factors, such as what kind of pests you have an issue with and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, while a quarterly treatment plan is typically cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
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.
