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 compared several factors such as customer service, coverage, industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies in Finneytown ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of experience in the pest control industry. Terminix has received several awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix helps with all kinds of pests in Finneytown, and if you’re not 100% satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
If you need immediate pest control service in Finneytown, consider Orkin. Founded in 1901, Orkin has grown to be one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its exterminators must complete 160 hours of training. And, because of its big network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin’s typical pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. After your initial visit, your pest control specialist will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have not returned. If they have, your local technicians can help
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of experience in the pest control industry. The company provides innovative pest control solutions all around the world. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several regional pest control providers like Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
It exterminates 36 of the most common pests including cockroaches, mice, flies, rats, moths, bed bugs, spiders, and more. After the initial inspection of your property, a technician will service your property as often as your contract states.
Not all pest control companies are the same 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. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that primarily handles the pest you have, like roaches, bed bugs, termites, or rodents. The company should explain their process for treating 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 indicates that the technicians have adequate training. Ask the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
Before booking an appointment, browse online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to see which providers have a reputation for 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 provider from our list of the top pest control in Finneytown, 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. But keep 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 treatments. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control provides usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will make another visit and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is handled. One-time treatments might not have reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified your top pest management companies, reach out to each one with these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to select the right provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
It's important to be aware of the pests you could encounter in Finneytown. Our team examined around 10 million posts on social media to determine the pests that are the biggest headache in the area.
The best pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They can treat all common pests, have locations nationwide, and have been in business for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your house once every two or three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from coming back.
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 have to stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Many Finneytown homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control companies for a quote.
We recommend quarterly pest control treatments, 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.
