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 looking at factors like industry experience, coverage, customer satisfaction, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
This is how the top companies in Mendon ranked:
Terminix has 300 branches in more than 22 countries and has been in business for almost 100 years. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix’s specialty is termites, but they take care of much more than that. Their other services include: ticks, cockroaches, ants, mosquitoes, rodents, spiders, and wildlife control such as raccoons, opossums, squirrels, skunks, and more. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified pest control expert will take a look at your situation and outline a suitable control plan.
If you need fast pest control service in Mendon, consider Orkin. Since 1901, Orkin has grown to be one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its exterminators must complete 160 hours of training. Additionally, due to its large network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin can protect your property from many common pests, such as cockroaches, silverfish, ants, and spiders. Orkin’s typical pest control service is also seasonal, which means your home will be treated several times over the course of a year.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has almost a century’s worth of experience dealing with pests. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control companies in North America. These include Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil handles the common pests in Mendon, including ants, moths, flies, wasps, mosquitoes, bed bugs, bees, cockroaches, crickets, and spiders. After the initial inspection and treatment of your property, a technician will treat your property as often as your contract states.
Not all pest control providers are identical when it comes to reputation, expertise, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the most suitable option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control company:
It's recommended to look for a pest control company that focuses their business on the pest you have, like roaches, bed bugs, termites, or rodents. The company should explain their process for treating your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control company, look for technicians that are licensed by the state and certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Obtaining these credentials shows that the technicians have adequate training. Inquire with the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
Before booking 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 effective service and positive customer experiences. Also look for any complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Inquire 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 a provider from our list of the top pest control in Mendon, 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 companies that promote “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or other burrowing rodents. 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. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat for free if you still have pests in your home after the initial treatment. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified a few top contending pest control companies, have conversations with each of them and be prepared to ask these types of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to hire the right provider to effectively manage your pest situation at a fair price.
Different pests come up in different places. In Mendon, there are several that residents have to deal with. So you can have an idea of the most prevalent pests in the city, we analyzed the pests mentioned in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Mendon are Terminix and Orkin. They're respected in the industry and cover all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your house.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take time to do thorough research. We recommend getting estimates from multiple companies and reading through reviews to help determine which company is the right one for you.
In a town like Mendon, where the cost of living is remarkably high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. The cost of pest control varies depending on several factors, including what type of pests are troubling you and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, while a quarterly treatment plan is typically cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
We recommend quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly if you'd like more protection. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
