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 providers, we considered several factors like types of pest control treatments offered, coverage, industry experience, customer service, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix has 300 branches in over 22 countries and has been in business for about 100 years. The company offers state-of-the-art pest control services that are safe for your family.
Terminix helps with dozens of pests in Copley, and it offers a 30-day guarantee. Terminix’s typical pest regimen includes a home inspection and preliminary treatment, with three seasonal treatments during the year.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. Because of its large network, Orkin can provide next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Pests Orkin deals with includes bed bugs, moths, cockroaches, earwigs, bees, spiders, rats, mice, crickets, centipedes, and more. Orkin’s most common pest control plan is also quarterly, which means your home will be treated several times over the course of a year.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has almost 100 years’ worth of experience protecting residents from pests. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers such as Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich, which provide tailored services.
It protects from 36 of the most common pests including spiders, mice, rats, flies, cockroaches, moths, bed bugs, and more. Rentokil uses treatments that are safe for your pets and children.
Not all pest control providers are the equal in reputation, skill set, and capability. Researching businesses helps you identify the right choice for your pest situation. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that is able to handle the type of pest you have, whether it’s rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should be able to describe how they treat your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies that employ technicians with certifications in pest control methods from reputable industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Possessing the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about continuing education opportunities.
Take some time to read online reviews on Google and Yelp before committing to a pest control provider. This can help you verify whether the company consistently provides quality service and positive experiences. Also check the Better Business Bureau for any complaints. Ask the provider whether technicians receive ongoing regular training to stay current on the most up-to-date pest control methods. When you select an exterminator from our list of Copley's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for providers offering “green” accreditations if you want more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about humane trapping programs that don't harm pests like mice or squirrels. Keep in mind that more potent treatments might be a better option for major infestations. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control professionals normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will make another visit and re-treat your home at no cost if there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have determined your top pest control providers, contact each one with these questions:
Assess potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to select the best provider to effectively solve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
There are various kinds of pests in Copley, ranging from harmless nuisances to ones that can damage your home. To help you identify the most problematic pests, we examined various social media sites and created a list of the ones mentioned the most.
The top pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They cover all common pests, service locations all around the nation, and have been in business for decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every quarter. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
Pest control chemicals are safe but need to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — or are wondering how long you have to stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
There are some pests you can control yourself. For example, if you see some ants or a stray wasp, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some infestations warrant bringing in the professionals. If you have a large infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Copley 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 per visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several companies for a quote.
For apartments and homes, quarterly 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 infestation is resolved.
