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:
Today's Homeowner narrowed down the top pest control providers by comparing state availability, customer reviews, costs, and more.
This is how the top companies in Orangetown ranked:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries globally. It has also been in business for almost 100 years. Terminix has received numerous 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 offers both one-time extermination services and seasonal pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Along with pest control, Terminix has other services, like moisture control, attic insulation, mechanical exclusion, and home disinfection services.
Orkin has been in the industry for over 100 years. Due to its vast network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin offers an expert property inspection to identify problem pests and areas and draw up an appropriate treatment plan. Orkin can book regular follow-up visits. Also, if you have recurring pest problems or any other urgent pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service line.
Rentokil, a business service group, is the world's largest and most widely recognized pest control company, which owns hundreds of brands worldwide. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers such as Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator, which can provide tailored services.
Rentokil and its partners handle the following pests: bed bugs, bees, mosquitoes, spiders, crickets, cockroaches, wasps, flies, moths, and ants. Rentokil’s treatments are safe for your pets and children.
Not all pest control businesses are the same when it comes to reputation, expertise, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the best option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that is able to handle the type of pest you have, whether it’s bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. The right credentials indicate that the technicians have completed proper training. Also ask about continuing education policies and total training hours.
We advise checking out customer reviews prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other review sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. 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 choose a provider from our list of the top pest control in Orangetown, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for providers that advertise “green” accreditation. For bigger animals such as mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a considerable 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 are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control companies usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will make another visit and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments might not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified a few top contending pest control companies, reach out to each one and be prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Assess potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to pick a qualified provider to effectively take care of your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
It's important to be aware of the pests you're bound to see as a resident of Orangetown. We compiled a list of the most common pests in the city by examining which pests were frequently mentioned on social media.
The top pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They can treat all common pests, service locations all around the nation, and have been in the industry for decades.
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.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and do diligent research. We recommend getting quotes from multiple companies and looking at reviews to help figure out which company is the right one for you.
Many Orangetown 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 figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several companies for a quote.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’d just like preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional spray your home is in the spring before nest and colony numbers get too high when it's warmer. But it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
