Today's Homeowner looks at dozens of datapoints on pest 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:
Looking for a pest control company with nation-wide expertise? Here are our top picks:
Terminix is one of the biggest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with many branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. It utilizes the latest innovations in pest control to eliminate pests anywhere you see them.
Terminix deals with all kinds of pest issues for residential and commercial customers. These include termites, ants, spiders, raccoons, rodents, opossums, and roaches. Terminix's general pest control consists of a home inspection and first treatment, followed by three seasonal treatments during the year.
Orkin Pest Control's headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a expansive network of branches. Due to its vast network, Orkin can offer same-day or next-day service.
Orkin's most popular pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. After the initial treatment is over, your Orkin specialist will follow up to check that the pests haven't come back and, if so, they can help you with that.
Pests vary by location. In Charlotte, there are a few different ones that residents have to deal with. For an idea of the most common pests in the city, we studied the pests discussed in around 10 million social media posts.
The best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They help with all common pests, service locations nationwide, and have been in business for decades.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but have to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions or concerns about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around young children and pets — and how long you need to stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
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 home.
Many Charlotte homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several companies for a quote.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will grow much larger when it's hotter, so spraying in the spring can help prevent your property from getting too many pests later.
