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:
Today's Homeowner has narrowed down the top pest control experts so you can find the right provider for you. We considered pest control treatments offered, state availability, contracts, customer reviews, costs, and more.
This is how we ranked them:
Terminix is one of the biggest and oldest pest control companies in the world, with branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix has both one-off extermination services and seasonal pest control. In addition, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Terminix’s general pest regimen consists of a home inspection and preliminary treatment, followed by three seasonal treatments over the course of a year.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a large network of branches. Its exterminators complete 160 hours of training. In addition, because of its big network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin offers an expert property inspection to identify issues and draw up an appropriate treatment plan. After the initial visit, your pest control specialist will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have not returned. If they have, your local technicians can help
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with branches across the world and almost a century of experience in the industry. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control companies in North America. These include Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control specialist will focus on both exterminating current pests and preventing future infestations. After the initial inspection of your home, a technician will treat your property every four months.
Pest control providers vary in reputation, proficiency, and effectiveness. It's important to research businesses to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly lay out its area of expertise.
When choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. The right credentials indicate that the technicians have completed proper training. Also inquire about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Before scheduling an appointment, spend time reading 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 the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you choose an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Glens Falls North, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more eco-friendly and natural pest control solutions, look for providers that have "green" certifications. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or other rodents coming inside, you can also ask about humane catch and release methods. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective. You may need to consider the traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control professionals usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a company will come back 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 found your top pest management companies, contact each one to ask these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control providers 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.
You should know which pests you're bound to encounter as a resident of Glens Falls North. To help you identify the most common pests, we reviewed online discussions and created a list of the ones mentioned the most.
The best pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They cover all common pests, have locations all around the country, and have been in the industry 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. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
The key to finding the right exterminator for you is to get in touch with multiple companies and get quotes from them. You should also make sure you read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Glens Falls North homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally 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 getting in touch with several companies for a quote.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will grow much larger in the summer, so spraying in the spring can help prevent your property from getting too many pests later.
