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:
When ranking these pest control companies, we compared factors such as coverage, customer service, industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
This is how the top companies in Manlius ranked:
Terminix is one of the largest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. Terminix has received several awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix helps with many types of pests in Manlius, and it guarantees that your pest problems will be solved. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified pest control expert will take a look at your situation and provide a suitable control plan.
Orkin has been in the industry for over 100 years. Its exterminators must complete 160 hours of training. And, because of its big network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin’s most popular pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. After the initial treatment, your Orkin exterminator will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can assist.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with providers across the globe and close to a century of experience in the industry. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control branches like J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil and its partners deal with the following pests: cockroaches, flies, wasps, moths, bed bugs, bees, spiders, crickets, ants, and mosquitoes. After the initial inspection and treatment of your property, a technician will return to your property as often as your contract states.
Pest control businesses vary in credibility, understanding, and competence. It's important to research businesses to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control professional:
You should choose a pest control company that can effectively address your specific problem, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly describe on their website its expertise with your specific pest.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from expert organizations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Holding the proper credentials indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about ongoing educational requirements.
We highly recommend reading customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other review sites can tell you whether a company consistently provides quality service and has happy customers. 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 the latest pest control techniques and treatment methods. When you choose an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Manlius, 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” accredited solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or squirrels in your attic. Keep in mind that 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. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must 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 come back and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments may not have reservice guarantees.
Once you have determined your top pest control providers, contact each one to ask these questions:
Evaluate potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to select the right provider to effectively solve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
A variety of pests can find their way into Manlius homes. Some are relatively harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can cause anxiety. To help you identify the most commonly seen pests, we reviewed various social media sites and compiled a list of the ones mentioned the most.
The top pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, service many locations, and have been in the industry for several decades.
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 other wildlife from coming back.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and do thorough research. We recommend getting quotes from several companies and reading reviews to help figure out which company is the right one for you.
In a town like Manlius, where the cost of living is comparatively high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control may be a concern. The cost of pest control depends on several factors, such as what type of pests you have an issue with and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, but a quarterly treatment plan is usually cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
For apartments and homes, quarterly pest control treatments are recommended. If you have a more serious infestation, however, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the problem is resolved.
