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:
Our team at Today's Homeowner narrowed it down to these pest control companies by analyzing state availability, contracts, costs, pest control treatments offered, customer reviews, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies in Eden ranked:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries worldwide. It has also been in business for almost 100 years. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix’s specialty is termites, but they exterminate much more than that. Their other services include: ants, mosquitoes, rodents, ticks, cockroaches, spiders, and wildlife control such as raccoons, opossums, skunks, squirrels, and more. In addition to pest control, Terminix offers services, including attic insulation, mechanical exclusion, home disinfection services, and moisture control.
Founded in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has evolved into one of the most trustworthy in the pest control industry. It has positive customer reviews and competent exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify issues and draw up a suitable treatment plan. Orkin’s typical pest control plan is also quarterly, meaning your home will be treated several times during the year.
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with providers across the world and almost a century of experience in the industry. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers including Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator, which can provide individual services.
Rentokil deals with the common pests in Eden, including crickets, wasps, cockroaches, moths, ants, bed bugs, mosquitoes, bees, spiders, and flies. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pest problems after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Pest control businesses aren't all identical when it comes to reputation, qualifications, and competence. It’s important to research companies to find the right one for your specific situation. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
When choosing a pest control company, look for technicians that are licensed by the state and certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Possessing these credentials indicates that a technician has adequate training. Question the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
We highly recommend reading customer reviews prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other review sites can tell you whether a company consistently provides quality service and has happy customers. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of ongoing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you choose an exterminator from our list of Eden's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for providers that have “green” certifications if you want more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about gentle catch and release methods for larger animals like mice or snakes. Keep in mind that stronger methods might be a better option for major infestations. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control professionals usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will return and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments may not have reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected a few highly reviewed exterminator services, reach out to each one and come prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Analyze potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to pick the best provider to effectively take care of your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
There are various types of pests in Eden, ranging from harmless bothers to disease-carrying insects. For an idea of the most common pests in the city, we reviewed the pests talked about in around 10 million posts on social media.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies in Eden are Terminix and Orkin. They're well known in the industry and cover all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every quarter or every two to three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
To find the best pest control company for you, the key is to take time to research your options thoroughly. We recommend getting estimates from several companies and reading through reviews to help figure out which company is the best for you.
In a town like Eden, where the cost of living is low compared to other cities, the cost of pest control could still be a concern. The cost of pest control varies based on several factors, including what type of pests you have an issue with and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, while a quarterly treatment plan is generally cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or even bi-monthly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the problem is resolved.
