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 providers by analyzing state availability, contracts, pest control treatments offered, costs, customer reviews, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies ranked in Concord:
Terminix ranks as one of the top four pest control companies in the world, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses stay pest-free for over 90 years. The company offers state-of-the-art pest control treatments that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix offers both one-time extermination services and seasonal pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. Its exterminators must complete 160 hours of training. And, due to its big network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin offers an expert property inspection to identify problem pests and areas and draw up a suitable treatment plan. Orkin’s general pest control plan is also seasonal, so your home will be treated several times during the year.
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with branches across the world and close to a century of experience in the industry. The global brand owns the North American pest control providers Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil exterminates the common pests in Concord, including crickets, wasps, ants, bed bugs, mosquitoes, cockroaches, spiders, moths, bees, and flies. After the initial inspection of your home, a technician will service your property every four months.
Not all pest control businesses are the same in reputation, background, and competence. Evaluating providers helps you identify the right choice for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control provider:
You should look for a pest control company that primarily handles the pest you have, like rodents, roaches, bed bugs, or termites. The company should describe how they go about treating your type of pest.
When selecting a pest control company, look for technicians that have the proper state licensing and are certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Possessing these credentials indicates that a technician has adequate training. Ask the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
Before booking 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 look for any complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Ask about ongoing training at the company as well as how its technicians stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you select a professional from our list of Concord'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 providers that specialize in “green” certified solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or squirrels in your attic. 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, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control companies usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will return and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is taken care of. One-time treatments might not have reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected a few highly reviewed exterminator services, reach out to each of them and come prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control companies using these questions. This will help you choose the right provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
There are a variety of pests in Concord, ranging from harmless nuisances to disease-carrying insects. We created a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing what pests were often posted about on social media platforms.
The top pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They cover all common pests, service many locations, and have been in business for several decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every two or three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
The key to finding the best exterminator for you is to contact several companies and get quotes from them. You should also be sure you read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Concord 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 a visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several providers for a quote.
We advise quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly if you'd like more protection. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
