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:
Today's Homeowner’s experts identified the top pest control providers by comparing state availability, customer reviews, costs, and more.
Here’s how we ranked them:
Terminix has 300 branches in more than 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for almost 100 years. It uses the latest technology in pest control to exterminate pests anywhere you see them.
Terminix’s specialty is termites, but they deal with much more than that. Their other services include: cockroaches, ants, mosquitoes, spiders, rodents, ticks, and wildlife control such as squirrels, skunks, opossums, raccoons, and more. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified pest control expert will take a look at your situation and detail a suitable control plan.
If you need fast pest control service in Granville, consider Orkin. Since 1901, Orkin has grown to be one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its exterminators have to complete 160 hours of training. Plus, because of its big network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin offers a professional property inspection to identify issues and develop a suitable treatment plan. Orkin’s most common pest control service plan is also seasonal, meaning your home will be treated several times during the year.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of industry experience. The company provides innovative pest control treatments for homeowners and business owners. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control companies in North America. These include Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners handle the following pests: wasps, bees, bed bugs, spiders, moths, flies, cockroaches, mosquitoes, ants, and crickets. Depending on where you live, Rentokil and its partners may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control companies are the equal in reputation, background, and capability. Vetting services helps you identify the right choice for your pest issue. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control professional:
It's best to choose a pest control company that has expertise handling your specific problem, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should have clearly laid out its expertise with your specific pest.
The ideal exterminator will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by organizations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials indicate that the technicians have completed proper training. You'll also want to inquire with each company about continuing training for their employees.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before booking a pest control appointment. Confirm through customer feedback that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive continuing regular education on the latest and most innovative pest control treatments. When you choose a professional from our list of the top pest control in Granville, 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” certifications. For bigger animals such as mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a moderate to serious pest problem, you may need more potent traditional solutions. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control companies normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will return and re-treat your home for free if there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services may not include reservice guarantees.
After selecting your top pest management services, contact each one with questions such as these:
Review potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to choose the best provider to effectively take care of your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Granville is home to several pests, from wildlife to insects. We examined around 10 million online conversations to determine the most common pests in the city.
The best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, have 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 house once every two or three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
Whether you should do DIY pest control or hire a company depends on the situation. You’ll want to take into consideration factors like the size of the infestation, how much the pest control will cost, and what chemicals need to be used. Additionally, you may want to also get professional pest control if you're concerned about safety.
Many Granville 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 per visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control providers for a quote.
For apartments and homes, quarterly pest control treatments are recommended. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the issue is resolved.
