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’s experts identified the top pest control companies by comparing state availability, costs, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how the top providers ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of pest control experience. With the amount of experience the company has, you can see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix takes care of all types of pest issues for homeowners and business owners. These include opossums, ants, termites, rodents, raccoons, roaches, and spiders. Terminix’s typical pest regimen includes a home inspection and initial treatment, followed by three seasonal treatments over the course of a year.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its exterminators have to complete 160 hours of training. And, because of its big network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin takes care of many common pests, including ants, spiders, silverfish, and cockroaches. Orkin can arrange regular follow-up visits. Also, if you have recurring problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact a customer service representative.
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with providers across the globe and close to a century of experience in the industry. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control providers in North America. These include Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
It deals with 36 of the most common pests including cockroaches, spiders, moths, bed bugs, mice, flies, rats, and more. The company guarantees satisfaction with its treatments. If you still have pests after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Not all pest control services are the equal in credibility, skill set, and capability. Researching businesses helps you identify the right choice for your pest issue. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control professional:
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 selecting a pest control company, look for technicians that have the proper state licensing and are certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Obtaining these credentials demonstrates that a technician has adequate training. Ask the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
Before scheduling an appointment, take the time to read online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to see which providers have a reputation for providing effective service and positive customer experiences. Also look for any complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Ask about ongoing training at the company as well as how its technicians stay up to date on the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you select an exterminator from our list of Wheatfield's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for providers offering “green” certifications if you want more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about humane trapping programs that don't harm pests like mice or snakes. Keep in mind that traditional methods might be a better option for significant infestations. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control companies usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a company will return to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments might not include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified a few top-rated pest management providers, talk to each one and come prepared to ask these types of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control companies using these questions. This will help you hire the most qualified provider to safely and successfully eliminate your pest problem at a fair price.
A variety of pests end up finding their way into Wheatfield residences. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can give homeowners anxiety. We came up with 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 Orkin and Terminix. They help with all common pests, have many locations, and have been in the industry for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every two or three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
Pest control chemicals are safe but have to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — or are wondering how long you have to stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Many Wheatfield homeowners wonder 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 find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several companies for an estimate.
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 infestation is resolved.
