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 has narrowed down the best pest control companies so you can find the best provider for you. We assessed contracts, costs, pest control treatments offered, state availability, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how Ogdensburg’s top companies ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of pest control experience. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix helps with all kinds of pests in Ogdensburg, and it guarantees that your pest problems will be solved. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
Started in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has grown to be one of the most reputable in the pest control industry. Its exterminators must complete 160 hours of training. And, due to its big network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin’s most common pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Each contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your exterminator will return for another visit.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of experience. The company provides expert pest control treatments all around the world. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers such as Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X, which can provide individual services.
Rentokil can protect your home from the common pests in Ogdensburg, including crickets, spiders, bed bugs, ants, flies, cockroaches, wasps, mosquitoes, moths, and bees. Rentokil’s services include preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control providers are equal when it comes to credibility, proficiency, and competence. It's important to do your research to determine the right option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control provider:
You should look for a pest control company that specializes in treating the pest you have, like roaches, bed bugs, termites, or rodents. The company should describe how they go about treating your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), on top of proper state licensing. Solid credentials show that the technicians have completed proper training. Also ask about continuing education policies and total training hours.
We highly recommend checking out customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and similar sites can tell you whether a company consistently provides quality service and has happy customers. Also check for any Better Business Bureau 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 select an exterminator from our list of Ogdensburg'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” certifications. For larger pests like mice or snakes, 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 more potent traditional methods. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will return and re-treat your home at no cost if there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't include reservice guarantees.
Once you have narrowed down your top exterminators, reach out to each one with questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will enable you to hire a qualified provider to effectively control your pest situation at a fair price.
There are various types of pests in Ogdensburg, ranging from harmless annoyances to disease-carrying insects. We studied around 10 million social media posts to identify the pests that were causing the most trouble for residents.
The top pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They cover all common pests, have locations nationwide, and have been in business for a long time.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property regularly is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your home.
Whether you should do DIY pest control or hire an exterminator depends on the situation. You’ll want to consider factors like how much the pest control will cost, the size of the infestation, and what chemicals need to be used. Additionally, you may want to also get professional pest control if you're concerned about safety.
Pest control involves removing unwanted bugs like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or wildlife from your home. When you hire a pest control company, an exterminator will come and inspect your property. Then they will use various techniques to remove the pests and prevent them from coming back, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Ogdensburg homeowners wonder 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 find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several companies for a quote.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you just want preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional spray your house is in the spring before colony numbers get too high in the summer. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
