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 narrowed down the top pest control companies by looking at factors like customer satisfaction, industry experience, coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies ranked in Bainbridge:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries around the globe. It has also been in business for almost 100 years. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, Watauga County Best of the Best, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix helps with many types of pests in Bainbridge, and it guarantees that your pest problems will be solved. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified exterminator will assess your situation and detail a suitable control plan.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the most reputable pest control companies in the country. Its exterminators have to undergo 160 hours of training. In addition, due to its big network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin handles many common pests, including silverfish, spiders, cockroaches, and ants. Each contract with Orkin comes with a 30-day guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your exterminator will return for another visit.
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest and most widely recognized pest control company, which is comprised of hundreds of brands worldwide. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control providers in North America. These include Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.

The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pests after service, Rentokil will visit again until the issue is resolved.
Not all pest control businesses are equal when it comes to reputation, knowledge, and effectiveness. It's important to do your research to determine the best option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control company:
You should look for a pest control company that primarily handles the pest you have, like termites, bed bugs, roaches, or rodents. The company should explain their process for treating your type of pest.
The ideal pest control company will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by associations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials demonstrate that the technicians have received proper training. You'll also want to inquire with each company about continuing training for their employees.
Before booking an appointment, browse online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a reputation for providing positive experiences and effective services. Also check for any complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you select an exterminator from our list of Bainbridge'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 humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or raccoons nesting nearby. 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. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control companies usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a company will make another visit to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments might not include these reservice guarantees.
After picking your top exterminators, call each one with questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to hire the right provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
Bainbridge is home to a number of pests, from wildlife to insects. To give you an idea of the most common pests in the city, we studied the pests talked about in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
The top pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They help with all common pests, have many locations, and have been in the industry for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every quarter. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from coming back.
Pest control chemicals are safe but must 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 children and pets — or are wondering how long you need to stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and do thorough research. We recommend obtaining quotes from several companies and reading through reviews to help determine which company best suits your needs.
In a town like Bainbridge, where the cost of living is noticeably high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. How much pest control costs varies based on several factors, such as what kind 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 typically cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
We advise quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly if needed. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
