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:
The team at Today's Homeowner narrowed down the top pest control companies by considering factors like customer satisfaction, industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, coverage, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies in Englewood ranked:
Terminix is one of the biggest and oldest pest control companies in the world, with branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. It utilizes the latest pest control techniques to get rid of pests anywhere you see them.
Terminix provides both one-time extermination services and seasonal pest control. Plus, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. Its pest control specialists undergo 160 hours of training. Plus, because of its big network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin’s typical pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin’s most common pest control plan is also seasonal, meaning your home will be treated several times over the course of a year.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has close to a century’s worth of experience handling pests. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers such as Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich, which can provide individual services.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both eliminating current pests and preventing future infestations. Rentokil’s services include preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Pest control providers vary in reputation, understanding, and capability. It's important to research businesses to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly lay out its area of expertise.
Look for pest control companies that employ technicians with certifications in pest control methods from qualified industry groups, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Possessing the proper credentials indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about continuing education opportunities.
Before booking an appointment, spend time reading 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. Ask about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you choose an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Englewood, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for providers that have “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 solutions might be a better option for significant infestations. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control providers usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a company will return to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments might not include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified 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 allow you to select the right provider to effectively solve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
It's important to know which pests you might come across while living in Englewood. For an idea of the most common pests in the city, we examined the pests mentioned in around 10 million posts on social media.
The top pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They help with all common pests, service locations nationwide, and have been in the industry 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.
Chemicals used in pest control 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 children and pets — or are wondering how long you need to stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Many Englewood 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 an estimate.
We advise quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly if needed. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
