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:
We've narrowed down the top pest control companies to help you find the right provider for you. We assessed costs, customer reviews, contracts, pest control treatments offered, state availability, and more.
Here’s how Dunn’s top companies ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of experience in the pest control business. With the amount of experience the company has, it’s easy to see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix has both one-off extermination services and routine pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified exterminator will assess your situation and provide a suitable control plan.
If you need fast pest control service in Dunn, Orkin might be the company for you. Founded in 1901, Orkin has grown to be one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Because of its vast network, Orkin can offer same-day or next-day service.
Pests Orkin handles are earwigs, spiders, mice, bees, hornets, silverfish, bed bugs, yellow jackets, fleas, centipedes, and more. After your first visit, your pest control specialist will follow up regularly to make sure that the pests have stayed away for good. If they have, your local technicians can assist
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has nearly a century’s worth of experience protecting residents from pests. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers such as J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X, which can provide tailored services.
Rentokil and its partners deal with the following pests: ants, spiders, mosquitoes, crickets, bees, bed bugs, cockroaches, moths, flies, and wasps. Its services consist of preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Pest control businesses aren't all the same when it comes to credibility, expertise, and effectiveness. It’s important to research businesses to find the right one for your specific situation. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control professional:
It's recommended to look for a pest control company that focuses their business on the pest you have, like roaches, bed bugs, termites, or rodents. The company should explain their process for treating 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. Also ask about continuing education opportunities.
Read online reviews on Google and Yelp before committing to a pest control provider. This can help you verify whether the company consistently provides quality service and positive experiences. Also check the Better Business Bureau for any complaints. Ask the provider whether technicians receive continual training to stay current on the most up-to-date pest control methods. When you select a provider from our list of Dunn's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for providers that specialize in “green” certified solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or other burrowing rodents. Keep in mind that natural options may be less effective for serious infestations; if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the company will make another visit and re-treat for free if your home still has pests after the initial treatment. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
After picking your top pest control companies, contact each one with questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will help you hire the most qualified provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
It's important to know which pests you could come across while living in Dunn. For an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we reviewed the pests mentioned in around 10 million social media posts.
The top pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They cover all common pests, have locations all around the country, and have been in business for decades.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property once every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your house.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire a company depends on the situation. You’ll want to consider factors like how much the pest control will cost, what chemicals need to be used, and the size of the infestation. Additionally, you may want to also look into professional pest control if you're concerned about safety.
Many Dunn homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for an estimate.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or even bi-monthly pest control treatments are recommended. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may need to get monthly treatments for a few months until the problem is resolved.
