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:
When ranking these pest control companies, we took into consideration several factors such as industry experience, coverage, customer service, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how Canton’s top companies ranked:
Terminix has 300 branches in over 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for over 90 years. It utilizes the latest innovations in pest control to exterminate pests wherever they are.
Terminix’s specialty is termites, but they deal with much more than just that. Their other services include: ticks, rodents, ants, spiders, mosquitoes, cockroaches, and wildlife control such as squirrels, opossums, raccoons, skunks, and more. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified pest control expert will assess your situation and provide a suitable control plan.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a large network of branches. Its pest control specialists have to complete 160 hours of training. Additionally, due to its big network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin’s most popular pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Each contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your exterminator will return for another visit.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with providers across the globe and close to a century of experience in the industry. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers such as Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator, which provide tailored services.
Rentokil and its partners take care of the following pests: spiders, moths, ants, flies, bees, mosquitoes, crickets, bed bugs, wasps, and cockroaches. Its treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Not all pest control companies are identical when it comes to reputation, qualifications, 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 choosing a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that specializes in treating the pest you have, like roaches, bed bugs, termites, or rodents. The company should explain their process 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.
Before booking an appointment, browse online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a proven track record of providing effective service and positive customer experiences. Also look for complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Ask about ongoing training at the company as well as how its technicians stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you choose a company from our list of the top pest control in Canton, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for providers offering “green” certifications. For bigger animals such as mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a substantial pest problem, you may need stronger traditional solutions. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control providers usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a company will come back to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice warranties.
Once you have reduced your options to your top pest control providers, reach out to each one with questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the right provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
Pests vary by location. In Canton, there are several that residents may deal with. Our team reviewed around 10 million social media conversations to uncover the pests that are the biggest headache in the area.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're respected 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 house once every quarter or every two to three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
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 young children and pets — and how long you should 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.
The key to finding the best exterminator for you is to get in touch with several companies and get quotes from them. You should also be sure to read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
In a city like Canton, where the cost of living is somewhat low compared to other cities, the cost of pest control may be a concern. How much pest control costs depends on several factors, such as what type of pests are infesting your home 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.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or bi-monthly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, however, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the issue is resolved.
