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 narrowed it down to these pest control companies by comparing contracts, customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, state availability, costs, and more.
Here’s how we ranked them:
Terminix is one of the largest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with many branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix can help you with all kinds of pest issues for residential and commercial customers. These include opossums, ants, roaches, rodents, raccoons, spiders, and termites. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
Started in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has grown to be one of the most reputable in the pest control industry. Its pest control specialists need to complete 160 hours of training. Additionally, because of its large network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin’s typical pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. After your initial visit, your technician will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have not returned. If they have, your local technicians can help
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with branches across the globe and nearly a century of experience in the industry. The well-known brand owns the North American pest control providers J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil deals with the common pests in Verona, including moths, cockroaches, flies, mosquitoes, spiders, ants, bed bugs, bees, wasps, and crickets. After the initial inspection and treatment of your home, a technician will return to your property every four months.
Pest control companies vary in reputation, understanding, and competence. It's important to research businesses to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control provider:
It's recommended to look for a pest control company that specializes in treating the pest you have, like rodents, roaches, bed bugs, or termites. The company should describe how they go about 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. Solid credentials indicate that the technicians have completed proper training. Also inquire about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Look through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to booking a pest control appointment. Confirm through customer feedback that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive consistent education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you choose an exterminator from our list of Verona'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 snakes, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a moderate to serious pest problem, you may need more effective traditional solutions. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control providers usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a provider will come back to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice warranties.
After picking your top pest management services, reach out to each one with questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to choose a qualified provider to effectively control your pest situation at a fair price.
Verona is home to various pests, from wildlife to insects. To help you identify the most problematic pests, we analyzed various social media sites and made a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're well-respected in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property once every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your house.
Whether you should do DIY pest control or hire an exterminator depends on the situation. You’ll want to take into consideration factors like how much the pest control will cost, what chemicals need to be used, and the size of the infestation. In addition, you may want to also consider professional pest control if you're concerned about safety or pets.
Many Verona 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 figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control companies for an estimate.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or bi-monthly 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 issue is resolved.
