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 considered several factors such as customer service, coverage, industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how the top companies ranked:
Terminix has several hundred branches in over 22 countries and has been in business for about 100 years. With this breadth of experience, it’s easy to see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix can help you with all types of pest issues for homeowners and business owners. These include roaches, rodents, termites, opossums, spiders, ants, and raccoons. Terminix’s general pest regimen consists of a home inspection and initial treatment, with three seasonal treatments during the year.
Orkin has been in the business for over 100 years. Its pest control specialists have to complete 160 hours of training. Additionally, due to its large network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin handles many common pests, including spiders, cockroaches, ants, and silverfish. Orkin can book regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurrent pest problems or any other urgent pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service line.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of experience in the pest control industry. The company provides innovative pest control solutions for homeowners and business owners. The global brand owns the North American pest control companies Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
It protects from 36 of the most common pests such as mice, spiders, moths, flies, rats, bed bugs, cockroaches, and more. After the initial inspection of your property, a technician will return to your property every four months.
Pest control businesses vary in reputation, expertise, and competence. It's important to research services to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has experience handling the type of pest you have, whether it’s termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to explain their approach for treating your type of pest.
When selecting a pest control provider, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. These credentials indicate that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also ask about required training hours and continuing education.
Read online reviews on Google and Yelp before scheduling a pest control appointment. This can help you confirm whether the company consistently provides quality service and positive experiences. Also check the Better Business Bureau for any complaints. Ask the provider whether technicians receive ongoing regular training to stay current on the most recent pest control methods. When you select an exterminator from our list of Mount Holly'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 providers that advertise “green” accreditation. For larger pests like mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a moderate to serious pest problem, you may need stronger traditional treatments. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will return and re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have narrowed down your top pest control providers, contact each one to ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control providers using these questions. This will help you select the right provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
Mount Holly is home to several pests, from insects to wildlife. We studied around 10 million social media posts to uncover the most common pests plaguing local homes.
The best pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They help with all common pests, have locations nationwide, and have been in the industry for several decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every quarter. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals from coming back.
For the most part, the chemicals used in pest control are safe. That being said, they need to be handled by a trained exterminator to make sure they’re used safely. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying out of your home for a certain period of time. This is usually 2 to 4 hours, but can be a maximum of 24 hours.
Many Mount Holly homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several providers for a quote.
For apartments and homes, quarterly pest control treatments are recommended. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the problem is resolved.
