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 has narrowed down the top pest control experts to help you find the best provider for you. We assessed contracts, state availability, customer reviews, costs, pest control treatments offered, and more.
This is how we ranked them:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of experience in the pest control business. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, Watauga County Best of the Best, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix helps with all kinds of pests in Garfield Heights, and it offers a 30-day guarantee. Terminix’s general pest regimen consists of a home inspection and preliminary treatment, followed by three seasonal treatments over the course of a year.
Founded in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has grown to be one of the most trustworthy in the pest control industry. It has excellent consumer reviews and qualified exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin can protect your property from many common pests, including silverfish, cockroaches, ants, and spiders. Once the initial treatment, your Orkin specialist will follow up to check that the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with branches across the world and almost a century of experience in the industry. The brand owns the North American pest control providers Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
It protects from 36 of the most common pests such as cockroaches, moths, bed bugs, rats, mice, spiders, flies, and more. Depending on your location, Rentokil and its partners may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Pest control providers aren't all the same when it comes to credibility, understanding, and competence. It’s important to research providers to find the right one for your specific situation. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control provider:
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 thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from expert organizations, 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. You'll also want to ask about regular training updates.
Before booking an appointment, spend time reading online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a proven track record of providing positive experiences and effective services. Also check for complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Ask about ongoing training at the company as well as how its technicians stay up to date on the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you select a provider from our list of Garfield Heights' best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for services that use “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or other burrowing rodents. However, natural options may be less effective for serious infestations, and if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need stronger traditional methods. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will make another visit and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is taken care of. One-time treatments may not have reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected your top pest control providers, reach out to each one and ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control providers using these questions. This will help you select the most qualified provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
A variety of pests can find their way into Garfield Heights homes. Some are relatively harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can cause anxiety. We reviewed around 10 million social media posts to uncover the most common pests infesting local homes.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're well-respected in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your house.
There are some pests you can handle 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 a big infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
In a town like Garfield Heights, where the cost of living is somewhat high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control may be a concern. How much pest control costs depends on several factors, including what kind of pests are troubling you and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, while a quarterly treatment plan is typically cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
We recommend quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly if needed. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
