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 Today's Homeowner team narrowed down the top pest control providers by considering factors like industry experience, customer satisfaction, coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix has 300 branches in more than 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for over 90 years. The company offers cutting-edge pest control treatments that are safe for your family.
Terminix helps with many types of pests in Forestville, and if you’re not completely satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Terminix’s general pest regimen includes a home inspection and initial treatment, followed by three additional treatments during the year.
If you need quick pest control service in Forestville, consider Orkin. Founded in 1901, Orkin has grown to be one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its exterminators undergo 160 hours of training. In addition, because of its big network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — service.
Pests Orkin deals with are mice, moths, yellow jackets, bed bugs, earwigs, spiders, crickets, scorpions, termites, silverfish, and more. Orkin’s general pest control service plan is also seasonal, which means your home will be treated several times over the course of a year.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners rid themselves of common pests for over 90 years. The large brand owns the North American pest control providers J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil handles the common pests in Forestville, including bed bugs, flies, cockroaches, wasps, bees, ants, moths, spiders, mosquitoes, and crickets. Rentokil’s services cover preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Pest control providers vary in credibility, expertise, and capability. It's important to research providers to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have 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 shows that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about regular training updates.
Look through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to booking a pest control appointment. Ensure by reading reviews that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive ongoing education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you choose a provider from our list of Forestville's best pest control, 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” accreditation. For larger pests like mice or snakes, 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 stronger traditional solutions. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will return and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified your top exterminators, reach out to each one with these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control companies using these questions. This will help you choose the most qualified provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
You should know which pests you could come across as a resident of Forestville. To help you prepare for the most commonly seen pests, we analyzed posts on social media and made a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Forestville are Terminix and Orkin. They're highly regarded in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every quarter or every two to three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from returning.
Pest control chemicals are safe but need to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions or concerns about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — and 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.
To find the best pest control company for you, the key is to take time to research your options thoroughly. We recommend obtaining quotes from several companies and reading through reviews to help determine which company best fits your needs.
Many Forestville 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 determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control companies for an estimate.
We advise 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.
