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 narrowed down the top pest control providers by comparing costs, customer reviews, state availability, and more.
Here’s how the top providers ranked:
Terminix has several hundred branches in more than 22 countries and has been in business for about 100 years. Terminix has received several awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix treats all kinds of pests in Belmont, and if you’re not satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Along with pest control, Terminix provides other services, such as home disinfection services, attic insulation, moisture control, and mechanical exclusion.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the longest-running pest control companies with a large network of branches. Its exterminators complete 160 hours of training. Additionally, because of its large network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin’s most common pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin can schedule regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurring pest problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with branches across the globe and almost a century of experience in the industry. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers like Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich, which provide tailored services.
Rentokil can protect your home from the common pests in Belmont, including mosquitoes, moths, ants, bed bugs, wasps, crickets, flies, cockroaches, bees, and spiders. Its services cover preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control providers are identical when it comes to credibility, 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 hiring a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that has experience handling the type of pest you have, whether it’s roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to describe how they treat your type of pest.
When selecting a pest control company, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), on top of proper state licensing. The right credentials show that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also ask about continuing education policies and total training hours.
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. Inquire about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you select a professional from our list of Belmont's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing 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 providers that have "green" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or squirrels invading your attic, you can also inquire about humane catch and release. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective. You may need to consider a more traditional route for a more serious infestation. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. The guarantees mean the provider will return and re-treat for free if your home still has pests after the initial treatment. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have found your top pest control providers, reach out to each one with these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the right provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
Which pests you see depends on where you live. In Belmont, there are several that residents may deal with. To help you identify the most commonly seen pests, we examined various social media sites and made a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're well known in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property routinely is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your house.
For the most part, the chemicals used in pest control are safe. That being said, they must be handled by a trained exterminator to ensure they’re used safely. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying out of your home for a certain period of time. This is usually 2 to 4 hours, but can be as much as 24 hours.
Many Belmont 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 a visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control providers for an estimate.
We advise quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly in Belmont, where the heat can make pests more prevalent. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
