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 identified the top pest control companies by comparing customer reviews, costs, state availability, and more.
This is how they ranked:
Terminix has several hundred branches in more than 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for almost 100 years. With this experience, you can see why Terminix is one of the top companies in the country.
Terminix treats all kinds of pests in Pinehurst, and if you aren’t 100% satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified technician will take a look at your situation and outline a suitable control plan.
Orkin has been in the industry for over 100 years. Because of its vast network, Orkin can provide next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin’s most common pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin can arrange regular follow-up visits. Also, if you have recurrent problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service line.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of experience in the pest control industry. The company provides expert pest control treatments all around the world. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers like Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X, which provide tailored services.
Rentokil exterminates the common pests in Pinehurst, including bed bugs, moths, ants, bees, mosquitoes, flies, spiders, crickets, cockroaches, and wasps. After the initial inspection of your property, a technician will treat your property every four months.
Pest control services vary in credibility, expertise, and skill. It's important to research services to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that primarily handles the pest you have, like rodents, roaches, bed bugs, or termites. The company should describe how they go about treating your type of pest.
When selecting 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. Inquire with the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
We advise looking at customer reviews prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of continuing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you choose a provider from our list of Pinehurst's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for providers offering “green” accreditation. For larger pests like mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a considerable pest problem, you may need stronger traditional treatments. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control companies usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a provider will come back to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice warranties.
Once you have reduced your options to your top exterminators, reach out to each one with questions such as:
Thoroughly evaluate potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the best provider to safely and effectively get rid of your pest problem at a reasonable price.
There are various types of pests in Pinehurst, ranging from harmless nuisances to disease-carrying insects. So you can have an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we reviewed the pests talked about in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Pinehurst are Orkin and Terminix. They're respected in the industry and cover all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every quarter. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
Pest control involves getting rid of unwanted bugs like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or wildlife from your property. When you hire a pest control company, an exterminator will do an inspection. Then they will use various methods to remove the pests and prevent them from returning, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Pinehurst homeowners are concerned 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 figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control companies for an estimate.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’re just interested in preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional spray your home is in the spring before colony numbers get too high in the hotter part of the year. But it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
