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 identified the top pest control companies by comparing state availability, costs, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how Lansing’s top providers ranked:
Terminix has 300 branches in more than 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, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix provides both one-time extermination services and routine pest control. In addition, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified exterminator will take a look at your situation and detail a suitable control plan.
If you need immediate pest control service in Lansing, consider Orkin. Founded in 1901, Orkin has grown to be one of the largest pest control companies in the country. It has positive customer reviews and trained pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify potential problems and develop an appropriate treatment plan. After your initial visit, your technician will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have not returned. If they have, your local technicians can assist
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with providers across the globe and almost a century of experience in the industry. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several regional pest control companies like Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil deals with the common pests in Lansing, including spiders, cockroaches, flies, mosquitoes, bed bugs, ants, moths, crickets, wasps, and bees. After the initial inspection of your home, a technician will treat your property every four months.
Not all pest control companies are the same in credibility, experience, and competence. Vetting services helps you identify the right choice for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control company:
Choose a pest control company that is equipped to handle your specific problem, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its expertise with your specific pest.
When choosing a pest control provider, 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). Obtaining these credentials demonstrates that the technicians have adequate training. Inquire with the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before booking a pest control appointment. Confirm through customer feedback that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive ongoing education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you select a provider from our list of the top pest control in Lansing, 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 squirrels invading your attic, 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 for a more serious infestation. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control professionals usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a company will make another visit to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice warranties.
Once you have narrowed down your top pest control providers, reach out to each one to ask questions such as:
Analyze potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the right provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Different pests appear in different locations. In Lansing, there are a few different ones that residents have to deal with. We came up with a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing which pests were often posted about on social media.
The top pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They can treat all common pests, service locations all around the nation, and have been in business for several decades.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property once every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your home.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but must 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 house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Many Lansing 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 find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several providers for an estimate.
We advise quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly if you'd like more protection. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
