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 providers, we compared factors like coverage, customer service, types of pest control treatments offered, industry experience, and more.
Here’s how Arcadia’s top companies ranked:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries worldwide. It has also been in the industry for nearly 100 years. With this experience, it’s easy to see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix is most widely known for its specialty termite services, but they take care of much more than that. Their other services include: spiders, rodents, cockroaches, ticks, mosquitoes, ants, and wildlife control including raccoons, squirrels, skunks, opossums, and more. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified exterminator will take a look at your situation and detail a suitable control plan.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Due to its large network, Orkin can provide next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin’s most common pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin can schedule regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurring problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service.
Rentokil, a business service group, is the world's largest pest control company, representing hundreds of brands worldwide. The large brand owns the North American pest control companies J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil deals with the common pests in Arcadia, including crickets, moths, wasps, spiders, mosquitoes, bees, ants, bed bugs, cockroaches, and flies. Depending on the city, Rentokil may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control providers are the same when it comes to reputation, knowledge, and competence. It's important to do your research to determine the most suitable option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control company:
You should look for a pest control company that specializes in treating the pest you have, like rodents, roaches, bed bugs, or termites. The company should explain their process for treating your type of pest.
The ideal pest management provider will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by associations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials show that the technicians have completed proper training. You'll also want to inquire with each company about regular education updates for their employees.
Before scheduling an appointment, take the time to read online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to see which providers have a proven track record of providing effective service and positive customer experiences. Also check for complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Ask 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 an exterminator from our list of Arcadia'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” 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 substantial pest problem, you may need more effective traditional solutions. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control companies usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will come back and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is handled. One-time treatments may not have reservice guarantees.
After choosing your top pest control companies, call each one and ask questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to choose the right provider to effectively manage your pest situation at a fair price.
It's important to know which pests you could come across in Arcadia. So you can have an idea of the most common pests in the city, we examined the pests talked about in around 10 million social media posts.
The best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They cover all common pests, service locations all around the country, and have been in the industry for decades.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property regularly is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your home.
Pest control chemicals are safe but have to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions or concerns about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — or are wondering how long you have to stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Many Arcadia homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually 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 an estimate.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’d just like preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional spray your home is in the spring before colony numbers get too high in the summer. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
