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:
Our team at Today's Homeowner narrowed down the top pest control companies by comparing costs, state availability, customer reviews, and more.
This is how we ranked them:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of pest control industry experience. The company provides state-of-the-art pest control treatments that are safe for your family.
Terminix has both one-time extermination services and seasonal pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
Founded in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has become one of the most trusted in the pest control industry. It has great customer reviews and well-trained exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin’s most common pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Each scheduled service comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your technician will come back for another visit.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of experience in the pest control industry. The company provides expert pest control solutions all around the world. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers like J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X, which provide individual services.
Rentokil and its partners take care of the following pests: bees, mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches, crickets, wasps, moths, bed bugs, ants, and spiders. After the initial inspection of your home, a technician will return to your property every quarter.
Pest control businesses vary in reputation, knowledge, and capability. It's important to research providers to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that specializes in treating the pest you have, like bed bugs, termites, roaches, or rodents. The company should describe how they go about treating your type of pest.
When selecting a pest control company, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. The right credentials show that the technicians have completed proper training. Also ask about required training hours and continuing education.
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 positive experiences and effective services. Also check for any complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about ongoing training at the company as well as how its technicians stay up to date on the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you select an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Brentwood, 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 offering “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 stronger traditional solutions. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides (besides those classified as 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 company will return to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice warranties.
Once you have reduced your options to your top exterminators, reach out to each one and ask questions such as:
Analyze potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to choose a qualified provider to effectively take care of your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Brentwood is home to a number of pests, from insects to wildlife. To give you an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we reviewed the pests talked about in around 10 million posts on social media.
The best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They can treat all common pests, have locations nationwide, and have been in business for several decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your house once every quarter. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from coming back.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but have to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — and how long you need to stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire an exterminator depends on the situation. You’ll want to take into consideration factors like what chemicals need to be used, how much the pest control will cost, and the size of the infestation. In addition, you may want to also get professional pest control if you're concerned about safety.
Many Brentwood homeowners are concerned 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 figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control providers for an estimate.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’re just interested in preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional spray your house is in the spring before colony numbers get too high when it's warmer. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
