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 it down to these pest control companies by analyzing state availability, pest control treatments offered, customer reviews, costs, contracts, and more.
This is how we ranked the top pest control companies in Wyandanch:
Terminix has 300 branches in over 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for almost 100 years. With the amount of experience the company has, you can see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix’s specialty is termites, but they take care of much more than that. Their other services include: ticks, ants, cockroaches, spiders, rodents, mosquitoes, and wildlife control including skunks, opossums, raccoons, squirrels, and more. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified exterminator will take a look at your situation and detail a suitable control plan.
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 have to undergo 160 hours of training. And, due to its large 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. After the first visit, your technician will follow up regularly to make sure that the pests have not returned. If they have, your local technicians can assist
Rentokil has been helping homeowners exterminate common pests for over 90 years. The global brand owns the North American pest control companies J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil can protect your home from the common pests in Wyandanch, including cockroaches, wasps, bed bugs, mosquitoes, flies, spiders, ants, moths, crickets, and bees. After the initial inspection of your home, a technician will return to your property every four months.
Not all pest control providers are the same in reputation, skill set, and competence. Evaluating services helps you identify the right choice for your pest circumstance. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies that employ technicians with certifications in pest control methods from qualified industry groups, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Having the proper credentials indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about ongoing educational requirements.
We advise looking at customer reviews before 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 the Better Business Bureau website for any 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 an exterminator from our list of Wyandanch's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more eco-friendly and natural pest control solutions, look for companies that have "green" certifications. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or raccoons nesting in trees, you can also ask about humane catch and release methods. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective; consider the traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must 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 for free if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have narrowed down your top pest control providers, reach out to each one with questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control companies using these questions. This will enable you to choose a qualified provider to effectively control your pest situation at a fair price.
Many types of pests can find their way into Wyandanch houses. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can cause anxiety. Our experts analyzed around 10 million posts on social media to uncover the pests that cause the most trouble in the area.
The top pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They cover all common pests, have many locations, and have been in business for decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every quarter. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
For the most part, the chemicals used in pest control are safe. However, they need to be handled by a trained professional to ensure they’re used safely. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying away from your home for a certain amount of time. This is usually 2 to 4 hours, but can be a maximum of 24 hours.
Many Wyandanch 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 getting in touch with several companies for an estimate.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’re just interested in preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your house is in the spring before colony numbers get too high when it's warmer. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
