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 headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries worldwide. It has also been in business for nearly 100 years. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, The Business Journal's FAST 50, and NCPMA's Technician of the Year.
Terminix's specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they handle much more than just that. Their other services include: ants, mosquitoes, ticks, spiders, cockroaches, rodents, and wildlife control including skunks, opossums, raccoons, squirrels, and more. In addition to pest control, Terminix has other services, like mechanical exclusion, moisture control, home disinfection services, and attic insulation.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. It has positive reviews from their customers and skilled exterminators who need to do 160 hours of training.
Orkin will send a professional pest control expert to inspect your property to identify the issue and draw up treatment plan. After the initial visit, your pest control specialist will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have stayed away for good.
A variety of pests can find their way into Greensboro homes. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can give homeowners anxiety. We compiled a list of the most common pests in the city by examining which pests were frequently mentioned on social media.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're respected in the industry and cover all common pests.
Pest control chemicals are safe but have to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — or are wondering how long you have to stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Whether you should do DIY pest control or hire an exterminator depends on your situation. You'll want to consider factors like how much the pest control will cost, the size of the infestation, and what chemicals need to be used. Additionally, you may want to also look into professional pest control if you're concerned about your family or pets.
Many Greensboro 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 determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for a quote.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. This is because nests and colony numbers will get much higher when it's hotter, so pest control in the spring can help prevent your property from getting too many pests later.
