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 identified the top pest control companies by comparing costs, customer reviews, state availability, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries globally. It has also been in business for almost 100 years. With this breadth of experience, you can see why Terminix is one of the top companies in the country.
Terminix provides both one-off extermination services and seasonal pest control. In addition, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
Orkin has been in the industry for over 100 years. It has great consumer reviews and qualified exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Pests Orkin helps with are mice, crickets, spiders, hornets, bed bugs, rats, cockroaches, bees, flies, moths, and more. After the initial visit, your pest control specialist will follow up regularly to make sure that the pests have stayed away for good. If they have, your local technicians can assist
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners remove common pests for over 90 years. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers including Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X, which can provide tailored services.
Rentokil and its partners handle the following pests: ants, cockroaches, bees, flies, spiders, moths, bed bugs, wasps, crickets, and mosquitoes. After the initial inspection of your property, a technician will treat your property every quarter.
Not all pest control companies are identical when it comes to reputation, knowledge, and competence. It's important to do your research to determine the right option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has experience handling the type of pest you have, whether it’s bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to provide an overview of how they treat 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). Obtaining these credentials shows that the technicians have adequate training. Inquire with the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
We advise reading customer reviews prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other review sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of ongoing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you choose a company from our list of Chillicothe'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 more eco-friendly and natural pest control solutions, look for providers that have "green" certifications. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or other rodents coming inside, you can also inquire about humane catch and release. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective. You may need to consider the traditional route for a more serious infestation. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control providers normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will return and re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't include reservice guarantees.
Once you have narrowed down your top exterminators, contact each one to ask questions such as:
Review potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to select a qualified provider to effectively address your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
There are a variety of pests in Chillicothe, ranging from harmless bothers to ones that can damage your home. Our team analyzed around 10 million social media conversations to determine the pests that create the most issues in the area.
The top pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They help with all common pests, have locations nationwide, and have been in business for several decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every quarter. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from returning.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire a company depends on the situation. You’ll want to take into consideration factors like what chemicals need to be used, the size of the infestation, and how much the pest control will cost. In addition, you may want to also consider professional pest control if you're concerned about safety or pets.
A pest control company removes unwanted bugs or animals that have infested a home. Pest control also includes preventative measures taken to stop those pests from returning, which can happen at any point in Chillicothe, but usually during the warm summers.
Many Chillicothe homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control companies for an estimate.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or bi-monthly pest control treatments are recommended. If you have a more serious infestation, however, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the issue is resolved.
