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 it down to these pest control companies by analyzing state availability, pest control treatments offered, contracts, costs, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how the top companies ranked:
Terminix has several hundred branches in more than 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for over 90 years. Terminix has received several awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, Watauga County Best of the Best, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix deals with all types of pest problems for residential and commercial customers. These include ants, rodents, raccoons, spiders, roaches, opossums, and termites. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified technician will take a look at your situation and provide a suitable control plan.
If you need immediate pest control service in Socorro, consider Orkin. Founded in 1901, Orkin has grown to be one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Due to its vast network, Orkin can provide next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin’s typical pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Each pest control contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your exterminator will come back for another visit.
Rentokil, a business service group, is the world's largest pest control company, which owns hundreds of brands worldwide. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control providers in North America. These include Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners handle the following pests: spiders, ants, flies, wasps, moths, mosquitoes, bed bugs, crickets, bees, and cockroaches. Depending on the city, Rentokil and its partners may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control businesses are the same when it comes to credibility, expertise, and effectiveness. It's important to do your research to determine the best option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
When choosing a pest control company, look for technicians with certifications in pest control methods from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), on top of proper state licensing. Solid credentials show that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also ask about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Read online reviews on Google and Yelp before committing to a pest control provider. This can help you verify 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 up-to-date pest control methods. When you select a provider from our list of Socorro's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for providers that specialize in “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or other burrowing rodents. However, natural options may be less effective for serious infestations, and if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need stronger traditional methods. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. The guarantees mean the provider will make another visit and re-treat for free if you still have pests in your home after the initial treatment. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
After picking your top pest management services, reach out to each one and ask questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will enable you to select a qualified provider to effectively control your pest situation at a fair price.
Socorro is home to various pests, from wildlife to insects. We generated a list of the most common pests in the city by examining which pests were frequently posted about on social media.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Socorro are Terminix and Orkin. They're well-respected in the industry and cover 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 animals from returning.
For the most part, the chemicals used in pest control are safe. Even so, they need to be handled by a professional exterminator to make sure they’re used properly. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying away from your home for a certain period of time. This is generally 2 to 4 hours, but can be as much as 24 hours.
Pest control involves removing unwanted insects like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or animals from your home. When you hire a pest control company, a professional exterminator will do an inspection. Then they will use various methods to get rid of the pests and stop them from returning, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Socorro homeowners wonder 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 find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control companies for an estimate.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or even bi-monthly pest control treatments are advisable. 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.
