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 narrowed it down to these pest control providers by analyzing customer reviews, contracts, state availability, pest control treatments offered, costs, and more.
Here’s how Clinton’s top companies ranked:
Terminix is one of the largest and oldest pest control companies in the world, with many branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. It uses the latest technology in pest control to get rid of insects and unwanted wildlife no matter where you find them.
Terminix can help you with all kinds of pest issues for homeowners and business owners. These include roaches, rodents, termites, opossums, spiders, ants, and raccoons. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified exterminator will assess your situation and outline a suitable control plan.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the longest-running pest control companies with a large network of branches. Its pest control specialists must complete 160 hours of training. In addition, because of its large network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin deals with many common pests, such as cockroaches, ants, silverfish, and spiders. Once the initial treatment, your Orkin specialist will follow up to check that the pests haven’t come back. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has close to a century’s worth of experience exterminating pests. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control companies in North America. These include Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
It exterminates 36 of the most common pests including spiders, rats, mice, moths, cockroaches, flies, bed bugs, and more. After the initial inspection and treatment of your home, a technician will service your property every quarter.
Pest control providers vary in credibility, understanding, and capability. It's important to research services to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control company:
You should choose a pest control company that can effectively address your specific problem, whether it's bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly describe on their website its expertise with your specific pest.
The ideal pest control company will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by groups like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials indicate that the technicians have finished proper training. You'll also want to question each company about continuing training for their employees.
Before scheduling an appointment, take the time to read online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to see which providers have a proven track record of providing effective service and positive customer experiences. Also look 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 choose a company from our list of the top pest control in Clinton, 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 that advertise “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 major infestations. If you have a substantial pest problem, you may need more potent traditional methods. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the company will make another visit and re-treat for free if you still have pests in your home after the initial visit. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified your top exterminators, reach out to each one with these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate 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.
Clinton is home to a number of pests, from insects to wildlife. We analyzed around 10 million posts on social media to determine the most common pests in the city.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're highly regarded in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property once every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your home.
To find the best pest control company for you, the key is to take time to research your options thoroughly. We recommend getting estimates from several companies and reading through reviews to help determine which company is the best for you.
There are some pests you can control yourself. For example, if you see some ants or a stray wasp, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some situations warrant calling the professionals. If you have an out-of-control infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Clinton homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several providers for a quote.
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.
