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 providers by analyzing state availability, pest control treatments offered, contracts, customer reviews, costs, and more.
Here’s how the top pest control companies in Shiprock ranked:
Terminix is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries globally. It has also been in business for about 100 years. 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’s specialty is termites, but they exterminate much more than just that. Their other services include: ants, ticks, mosquitoes, cockroaches, rodents, spiders, and wildlife control including squirrels, opossums, raccoons, skunks, and more. Terminix’s general pest regimen consists of a home inspection and preliminary treatment, with three seasonal treatments during the year.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. Due to its vast network, Orkin can offer same-day or next-day service.
Orkin’s typical pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Each contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your pest control specialist will come back for another visit.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners remove common pests for over 90 years. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control branches like Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil deals with the common pests in Shiprock, including flies, wasps, bed bugs, moths, spiders, bees, ants, mosquitoes, crickets, and cockroaches. Rentokil’s services consist of preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Pest control services vary in reputation, expertise, and competence. It's important to research providers to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that has experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly lay out its area of expertise.
When choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians with certifications in pest control methods from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), on top of proper state licensing. These credentials indicate that the technicians have completed proper training. Also inquire about required training hours and continuing education.
We highly recommend checking out customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and similar sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and has happy customers. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of continuing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you choose a company from our list of the top pest control in Shiprock, you can rest easy knowing 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” certifications. For larger pests like mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. 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. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the company will make another visit and re-treat at no cost if you still have pests in your home after the initial treatment. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have determined your top exterminators, reach out to each one to ask these questions:
Thoroughly evaluate potential pest control providers 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.
Many types of pests like to find their way into Shiprock houses. Some are relatively harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can cause anxiety. Our team reviewed around 10 million social media conversations to pinpoint the pests that are the biggest headache in the area.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies in Shiprock are Terminix and Orkin. They're well-respected 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 two or three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and do diligent research. We recommend getting quotes from several companies and reading reviews to help figure out which company is the right one for you.
Pest control involves removing unwanted insects like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or wildlife from your home. When you hire a pest control company, a professional will come and inspect your property. Then they will use various methods to get rid of the pests and prevent them from returning, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Shiprock homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several companies for a quote.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will grow much larger as it gets warmer, so spraying in the spring can help prevent your property from getting too many pests later.
