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 providers by comparing customer reviews, contracts, state availability, pest control treatments offered, costs, and more.
This is how they ranked:
Terminix is headquartered 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 numerous awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix has both one-time extermination services and routine pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Terminix’s general pest regimen includes a home inspection and preliminary treatment, with three additional treatments over the course of a year.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. It has excellent customer reviews and qualified pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Pests Orkin handles are scorpions, hornets, silverfish, moths, cockroaches, fleas, centipedes, ticks, earwigs, wasps, and more. Orkin can arrange regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurring pest problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service line.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners get rid of common pests for over 90 years. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few regional pest control providers like Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both eliminating current pests and preventing future infestations. The company guarantees satisfaction with its treatments. If you still have pest problems after service, Rentokil will visit again until the issue is resolved.
Pest control businesses aren't all the same when it comes to credibility, expertise, and competence. It’s important to research companies to find the right one for your specific issue. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that is able to handle the type of pest you have, whether it’s roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to explain their approach for treating your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from reputable industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Having the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about ongoing educational requirements.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before booking a pest control appointment. Confirm through customer feedback that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive consistent education on the latest and most innovative pest control treatments. When you select a company from our list of the top pest control in Bellefontaine, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more natural, eco-friendly pest control solutions, look for companies that have "green" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or raccoons nesting in trees, you can also inquire about humane catch and release methods. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective. You may need to consider a more traditional route for a more serious infestation. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will make another visit and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is taken care of. One-time treatments might not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have compiled a list of a few top contending pest control companies, talk to each of them and be prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to choose the right provider to effectively control your pest situation at a fair price.
Different pests come up in different places. In Bellefontaine, there are a few different ones that residents have to deal with. We created a list of the most common pests in the city by examining which pests were frequently posted about on social media.
The best pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They cover all common pests, have locations nationwide, and have been in business for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every two or three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from returning.
A pest control company removes unwanted insects or animals that have infested your property. Pest control also consists of preventative measures taken to help stop those pests from returning, which can happen at any point in Bellefontaine, but usually during the warm summers.
Many Bellefontaine homeowners wonder 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 determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several providers for a quote.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should get 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 when it's warmer. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
