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:
Our team at Today's Homeowner narrowed it down to these pest control companies by comparing costs, state availability, contracts, customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix is one of the biggest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with many branches across the United States and 22 other countries. It uses the latest innovations in pest control to exterminate pests no matter where they are.
Terminix has both one-time extermination services and routine pest control. Plus, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified technician will assess your situation and give you a suitable control plan.
If you need fast pest control service in North Castle, Orkin might be the company for you. Since 1901, Orkin has become one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its exterminators have to undergo 160 hours of training. Plus, because of its large network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin offers a professional property inspection to identify problem pests and areas and develop a suitable treatment plan. Once the initial treatment, your Orkin expert will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners rid themselves of common pests for over 90 years. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control companies in North America. These include J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control expert will focus on both eliminating current pests and preventing future infestations. Its services cover preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Pest control businesses vary in reputation, knowledge, and capability. It's important to research companies to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control company:
It's best to choose a pest control company that has expertise handling your specific problem, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, 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 with certifications in pest control methods from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), on top of proper state licensing. The right credentials indicate that the technicians have completed proper training. Also ask about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before booking a pest control appointment. Ensure by reading reviews that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive continuing regular education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you select an exterminator from our list of North Castle's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for providers offering “green” accreditation. For larger pests like mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a moderate to serious pest problem, you may need stronger traditional solutions. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will make another visit and re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified a few top-rated pest management providers, talk to each of them and be prepared to ask these types of questions:
Analyze potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you select the right provider to safely and effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Different pests appear in different locations. In North Castle, there are a few different ones that residents may deal with. For an idea of the most prevalent pests in the city, we reviewed the pests talked about in around 10 million posts on social media.
The top pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, have locations all around the nation, and have been in the industry for a long time.
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 animals from coming inside your home.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but need to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions or concerns 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. Generally, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire an exterminator depends on the situation. You’ll want to take into consideration factors like how much the pest control will cost, the size of the infestation, and what chemicals need to be used. In addition, you may want to also look into professional pest control if you're concerned about safety.
Many North Castle 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 determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several providers for an estimate.
We advise quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly if needed. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
