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 took into consideration several factors including customer service, coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, industry experience, and more.
This is how we ranked them:
Terminix has several hundred branches in over 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for about 100 years. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix helps with dozens of pests in Clifton Park, and if you’re not completely satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Terminix’s general pest regimen includes a home inspection and initial treatment, followed by three seasonal treatments over the course of a year.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. It has positive customer reviews and skilled pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin’s most common pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. After your first visit, your technician will follow up regularly to make sure that the pests have not returned. If they have, your local technicians can help
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with providers across the world and almost a century of experience in the industry. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers including Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator, which can provide individual services.
Rentokil and its partners control for the following pests: ants, crickets, bees, flies, wasps, moths, spiders, mosquitoes, bed bugs, and cockroaches. Its services cover preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control businesses are identical when it comes to credibility, qualifications, and competence. It's important to do your research to determine the best option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should clearly lay out its area of expertise.
The ideal pest management provider will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by organizations 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 continuing training for their employees.
Before booking an appointment, take the time to read online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a proven track record of providing positive experiences and effective services. Also look for complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about ongoing training at the company as well as how its technicians stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you choose an exterminator from our list of Clifton Park's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for companies that promote “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or raccoons nesting nearby. However, natural options may be less effective for serious infestations; if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides (besides those classified as 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 return and re-treat for free if your home still has pests after the initial visit. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
After selecting your top pest control companies, call each one and ask questions such as these:
Carefully review potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you select the right provider to safely and effectively get rid of your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Clifton Park is home to a number of pests, from wildlife to insects. To help you prepare for the most commonly seen pests, we analyzed social media conversations and created a list of the ones mentioned the most.
The best pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They help with all common pests, service many locations, 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 home once every quarter or every two to three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
For the most part, the chemicals used in pest control are safe. However, they have to be handled by a professional exterminator to make sure they’re used properly. After your house has been sprayed, your exterminator will recommend staying away from your home for a certain amount of time. This is generally 2 to 4 hours, but can be a maximum of 24 hours.
Many Clifton Park homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several companies for an estimate.
We recommend quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly if you'd like more protection. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
