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 team at Today's Homeowner narrowed down the top pest control companies by comparing state availability, costs, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how the top providers ranked:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries worldwide. It has also been in the industry for about 100 years. With this experience, it’s easy to see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix is widely known for its specialty termite services, but they take care of much more than that. Their other services include: rodents, ticks, mosquitoes, ants, cockroaches, spiders, and wildlife control including skunks, squirrels, opossums, raccoons, and more. Terminix’s typical pest regimen consists of a home inspection and preliminary treatment, followed by three seasonal treatments over the course of a year.
If you need quick pest control service in Malta, consider Orkin. Founded in 1901, Orkin has grown to be one of the largest pest control companies in the country. It has positive consumer reviews and well-trained exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin offers a professional property inspection to identify problem pests and areas and develop an appropriate treatment plan. Orkin’s typical pest control service is also quarterly, which means your home will be treated several times over the course of a year.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners get rid of common pests for over 90 years. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several regional pest control branches like 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 existing pests and preventing future infestations. Its services include preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control businesses are the same in credibility, background, and proficiency. Vetting companies helps you identify the right choice for your pest situation. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting 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.
When selecting a pest control company, look for technicians with certifications in pest control methods from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. These credentials indicate that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also ask about required training hours and continuing education.
Look through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Ensure by reading reviews that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive consistent education on the latest and most innovative pest control treatments. When you choose an exterminator from our list of Malta's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing 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” accredited solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for 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 stronger traditional methods. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will return and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is taken care of. One-time treatments may not have reservice guarantees.
After picking your top pest control companies, call each one and ask questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the best provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
Malta is home to various pests, from insects to wildlife. To help you identify the most common pests, we analyzed social media conversations and put together a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Malta are Orkin and Terminix. They're highly regarded in the industry and cover all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property regularly is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your house.
There are some pests you can get rid of yourself. For example, if you see some ants or a stray cockroach, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some cases warrant bringing in the professionals. If you have a big infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Malta 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 a visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several providers for an estimate.
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 over the course of the first three to six months.
