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:
The Today's Homeowner team narrowed down the top pest control companies by considering factors like types of pest control treatments offered, customer satisfaction, industry experience, coverage, and more.
Here’s how the top pest control companies in Levittown ranked:
Terminix is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries worldwide. It has also been in the industry for almost 100 years. It uses the latest pest control techniques to rid your home of insects and unwanted wildlife no matter where they are.
Terminix helps with many types of pests in Levittown, and if you’re not completely satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. Its exterminators must complete 160 hours of training. And, due to its big network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Pests Orkin handles includes bed bugs, bees, cockroaches, wasps, flies, mice, fleas, moths, spiders, carpenter ants, and more. Orkin’s typical pest control plan is also quarterly, so your home will be treated several times during the year.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners rid themselves of common pests for over 90 years. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few regional pest control branches like Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
It protects from 36 of the most common pests such as flies, mice, spiders, moths, bed bugs, rats, cockroaches, and more. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pest problems after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Pest control providers vary in credibility, proficiency, and skill. It's important to research businesses 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 has 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.
When choosing a pest control company, look for technicians with certifications in pest control methods from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. These credentials indicate that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also inquire about continuing education policies and total training hours.
We suggest looking at customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and similar sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of continuing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you select a professional from our list of Levittown's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more natural, eco-friendly pest control solutions, look for providers that have "green" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or raccoons nesting in trees, you can also inquire about humane catch and release. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective; 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 must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will make another visit and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is taken care of. One-time treatments might not have reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified your top exterminators, contact each one to ask these questions:
Analyze potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you choose the right provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
It's important to know which pests you might see while living in Levittown. Our team analyzed around 10 million online discussions to uncover the pests that are the biggest headache in the area.
The best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They help with all common pests, service many locations, and have been in the industry for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every two or three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
For the most part, the chemicals used in pest control are safe. That being said, they have to be handled by a professional exterminator to make sure they’re used properly and safely. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying out of your home for a certain amount of time. This is generally 2 to 4 hours, but can be as much as 24 hours.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take time to research your options thoroughly. We recommend getting estimates from multiple companies and reading through reviews to help figure out which company is the right one for you.
Many Levittown 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 figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several providers for an estimate.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should get 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 home is in the spring before nest and 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 in other seasons and see effective results.
